On Monday 26, al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Yilbāy favored amir ʾUzbak min Ṭuṭukh al-Ẓāhirī, the raʾs nawba nuwab, with a khilʿa, appointing him as nāʾib of Damascus, instead of Bardbak al-Ẓāhirī, as the latter had joined Shāh Suwār.
That same day, amir Qānī Bak al-Maḥmūdī al-Muʾayyadī, the ʾamīr majlis, was appointed as ʾamīr silāḥ, instead of Qurqmās al-ʾAshrafī, as the latter had been seized and imprisoned in Alexandria.
Qānī Bak was appointed as the muqaddam al-ʿasākir to fight Shāh Suwār b. Dulghādir.
The sultan assigned a number of amirs as a tajrīda in order to fight Shāh Suwār. As for amirs 100, he assigned Qānī Bak, already mentioned, Jānibak al-ʾĪnālī al-ʾAshrafī, known as Qulaqsīz, the ḥājib ḥujjāb, and Bardbak Hajīn, the ʾamīr jāndār. He also assigned a large number of amirs 40 and amirs 10, the names of which will be mentioned on the day of their departure from Cairo. Finally, the sultan also assigned 600 sultani mamluks, to go with the amirs.
