Descriptions

“ولما استهل شوال من السنة المذكورة خرج الركب الحجازي إلى خارج دمشق ونزلوا القرية المعروفة بالكسوة، فأخذت في الحركة معهم، وكان أمير الركب سيف الدين الجوبان، من كبار الأمراء وقاضيه شرف الدين الأذرعى الحوراني، وحج في تلك السنة مدرس المالكية صدر الدين العماري، وكان سفري مع طائفة من العرب تدعى العجارمة، أميرهم محمد بن رافع كبير القدر في الأمراء وارتحلنا من الكسوة إلى قرية تعرف بالصنمين عظيمة” 1
