Beginning of 08/0857:
Amir Sayf al-Dīn Bayghūt b. ʿAbd Allāh min Ṣafar Khujā al-Muʾayyadī al-ʾAʿraj, the nāʾib of Ṣafad, died there in the beginning of 08/0857. He was over 60 years old. He was originally a mamluk of al-Muʾayyad Shaykh, in the days when the latter was still an amir. He then became a khāṣṣakī, after the death of his ʾustādh, until al-Malik al-ʾAshraf Barsbāy banished him to Syria. He then granted him an amirate 40 at Damascus. Following, he was appointed as nāʾib of Homs, at the beginning of the reign of al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Jaqmaq. Then he was transferred to the position of nāʾib of Ṣafad in one go, herein succeeding amir Qānī Bāy al-ʾAbū Bakrī al-Nāṣirī al-Bahlawān, as he had moved to the position of nāʾib of Hama. Then Bayghūt was transferred to the position of nāʾib of Hama, where he had some incidents with the people of Hama and some charges against him, the result of which being that he fled from Hama and went to Diyār Bakr, after his son ʾIbrāhīm had already been seized and imprisoned in Cairo. He himself too went through some incidents and trials in Diyār Bakr, and he was seized and imprisoned in the citadel of Edessa. Then he was released, and he returned in obedience to the sultan, al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Jaqmaq. He then returned to Damascus as a baṭṭāl, until he was favored with an amirate 100 in Damascus, after the death of amir Bardbak al-ʿAjamī al-Jakamī. He remained thus until al-Ẓāhir transferred him to the position of nāʾib of Ṣafad a second time, after the death of Yashbak al-Ḥamzāwī. He stayed in Ṣafad until he died on the aforementioned day. God have mercy upon him! He was a religious man, known for his bravery and intrepidity, and honored in the various governments. The position of nāʾib of Ṣafad was after him held by ʾIyās al-Muḥammadī al-Nāṣirī al-Ṭawīl.
