30/01/0865:
On Friday 30, a group of the ghazā arrived in Cairo, and they told that the whole of the Islamic troops had left the island of Cyprus on Friday 23/01, and had gone over the surface of the Mediterranean, aiming for the Islamic shores.
A strong wind had blown against them and had dispersed them. Hence, they had unvoluntarily moved into several directions.
The ship of these (men arriving) had reached the coast of al-Ṭīna.
They also gave news of the death of amir Sūdūn Qarāqāsh, the ḥājib ḥujjāb.
Then the following day Bardbak ʿArab al-ʾAshrafī al-Khāṣṣakī arrived, and he told pretty much the same as the mamālīk (who had arrived the day before).
He also told the sultan that amir Yūnus the dawādār had left a group of mamālīk sulṭānīya and mamālīk al-ʾumarāʾ on the island of Cyprus, as support for Jākumu, the lord of Cyprus, that he had made Jānibak al-ʾAblaq al-Ẓāhirī al-Khāṣṣakī their muqaddam, and that a large group had died due to the huge squalor.
