25/09/0865:
On Saturday 25, it was proclaimed that the nafaqa of the mamālīk sulṭānīya would take place the following Saturday.
That same day, the sultan promoted a number of amirs to amir 100: amir ʾUzbak min Ṭuṭukh al-Ẓāhirī, Bardbak al-Ẓāhirī (the raʾs nawba thānī), and Jānibak min Qajmās al-ʾAshrafī al-Mushidd (in addition to his former iqṭāʿ and position). The sultan also favored a number of khāṣṣakīya, promoting each of them to amir 10 (some deservedly, some undeservedly), as was the custom at the beginning of a reign.
Amir Qāytbāy al-Maḥmūdī al-Ẓāhirī was promoted to amir 40 and was appointed as shādd al-sharāb khānā, instead of Jānibak al-ʾAshrafī.
As for the positions that al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Khushqadam increased in terms of number, such as those of dawādār, sāqī, silāḥdār and many others, these cannot be enumarated, because of the difficulty of counting them.
Amir Dawlāt Bāy al-Najmī was appointed as musaffir of amir Jānim, the nāʾib of Damascus, and Timrāz al-ʾAshrafī, an amir 100 in Damascus, was appointed as nāʾib of Ṣafad, after the removal of Khayr Bak al-Nawrūzī and the latter’s going to Damascus as an amir 100 (there).
The sultan also favoured Timrāz with a large sum of money and other things.
