Summary
Sayf al-Din Aqtay al-Musta'rib, the great emir — ustadh-dar to al-Malik al-Zahir, then amir akhur. He entered Egypt with al-Zahir Baybars in 650 and remained in honor and favor until he fell ill at the start of Ramadan; he was treated at the sultan's order but it did not avail. He died on 10 Muharram and was buried outside Bab al-Nasr. 1
