854 AH, Sa 28th/11:
On Saturday the 28th amir Duqmāq was dismissed from the zardkāshīya and the amirate that was bestowed on him -of the ʾiqṭāʿ of zardkāsh amir Taghrī Brimish- was reclaimed from him. He was assigned his former ʾiqṭāʿ. After that he was returned what he had brought to the august treasury of gold for the zardkāshīya and the amirate. He had to bring 4000 dinar, some of which he already had brought.
The reason for his dismissal was strange. When he was bestowed the zardkāshīya, he wanted to inspect the zardkāshkhānah to bring to light some gains with this to the sultan. This became distressing for the nāẓir zardkāshkhānah, Badr al-Dīn b. Ẓahīr, and others. Badr al-Dīn entered to the sultan and aroused the sultan’s anger against Duqmāq. He responded positively to his words and dismissed him. He took back the amirate from him and returned him to the jundīya. He appointed amir Lājīn al-Ẓāhirī as his replacement as zardkāsh.
Most surprising of this was that the old ʾiqṭāʿ of Duqmāq already had been granted by the sultan to someone called Jānibak al-ʾAshrafī -known as al-Ẓarīf-, one of the dawādārīya ṣighār, while the ʾiqṭāʿ of this Jānibak was granted to Jānibak al-Bawwāb, who came from Makka and brought the news of the death of zardkāsh amir Taghrī Birmish.
When the sultan returned Duqmāq’s old ʾiqṭāʿ to him, dawādār Jānibak became without ʾiqṭāʿ, since his ʾiqṭāʿ had gone to Jānibak al-Bawwāb. So the sultan gave him the ʾimra that had been given to the mentioned Duqmāq. But this Jānibak was not of the khāṣṣakīya that could be nominated for iqṭāʿ.
