Summary
Sunqur al-Ashqar, the great emir surnamed al-Malik al-Kamil. At the end of 679 he descended into Syria raiding and camped near Acre; its people submitted to him and corresponded about a truce. 'Isa ibn Muhanna came into his service and he pardoned and honored him. 'Izz al-Din Azdamur al-Jamdar — martyred at Homs in 680 — held the Damascus deputyship for him. 1
