A group of eminent amirs where killed with him. We will mention them one by one.
Among the companions of Nawrūz who were killed was amir Sayf al-Dīn Yashbak b. ʾAzdamur al-Ẓāhirī, the raʾs nawbat al-nuwab, then nāʾib of Aleppo. He was one of those who joined Nawrūz after the death of my father, because my father had taken him into his home while he was nāʾib of Damascus. When al-Nāṣir appointed him ʾatābak of Damascus, my father gave him his daughter in marriage, when she was about four years old, so that no harm would happen to him from al-Malik al-Nāṣir. Yashbak stayed with Nawrūz until he was captured and killed in Damascus, as we already mentioned. He was very brave and courageous, powerful to an extreme degree as archer.
