791 AH, 17/08
- Minṭāsh loots storehouses belonging to Jarkas al-Khalīlī (who is dead) and Baklamish al-ʿAlāʾī. Thus, he takes money and arms (and the lack of arms was his problem)
- Then, Al-Nāṣirī sends into the battle amirs Maʾmūr the great chamberlain, Jumaq ibn ʾAytamish, and Qarā Kask, with a large force of yalbughāwīya.
- But they are defeated by the populace, that attacks them with rocks
- From the citadel, the partisans of al-Nāṣirī throw arrows and naphta bombs on the Minṭāshīya, and they kill one of the Minṭāshī mamlūks
- Minṭāsh summons the master engineer (al-muʿallim) Nāṣir al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn al-Ṭarābulusī, who was an expert in shooting with naphta machines. He threatens him with death because he is late. But he forgives him. Nāṣir al-Dīn brings naphta guns on the top of the madrasa to shoot on the Royal Stables., and manages to pierce a side of al-Nāṣirī’s tent (who is obliged to find another place with the sultan)
- Before the end of the dy the number of Minṭāsh’s horsemen had reached 2000 combatants.
