تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.11.17

13.11.17

In the morning I was watching the elephants and banners being brought to the Sultan. Then one of the Iraqis came to me and said: "ʿAyn al-Mulk has been captured and brought to the vizier." I did not believe him, but only a short while passed before Malik Tamūr the sharbdār came to me, took my hand and said: "Good news! ʿAyn al-Mulk has been captured and is with the vizier." At that the Sultan moved, and we with him, to ʿAyn al-Mulk's camp on the river Gang. The troops plundered what was in it; many of ʿAyn al-Mulk's soldiers plunged into the river and were drowned. Dāwūd son of Quṭb al-Mulk, the son of Malik al-Tujjār and a great many others with them were taken, and the money, horses and goods were plundered.
