The chiefs in Acre under Saladin were as follow: —
Caracos, who had been made a knight by Corboran at the
siege of Antioch, and who had also brought up Saladin, and
with him Gemaladin, Gurgi, Suchar, Simcordoedar, Bel-
hagessemin, Fecardincer, and Cerantegadin. The chiefs of
the army were these : his four brothers, Saphadin, Felkedin,
Sefelselem, Melkalade ; his three sons, Miralis, Melcaleth,
Melcalezis ; his two nephews, Techaedin and Benesemedin,
and the chiefs Coulin, Elaisar, Bederim, and Mustop
Hazadinnersel. All these chiefs held authority over the
provinces of Joramma, Kotassia, Bira, the Persians, the
Turks, the Hemsiensians, Alexandria, Damietta, Aleppo, and
Damascus, and of all the country beyond the Euphrates, extending to the Red Sea, and beyond it towards Barbary.
Metalech ruled over Babylon, and to the four brothers of
Saladin were entrusted the provinces of Abesia, Leeman, the
Moors, Nubia, Caesarea, Ascalon, Amira, Bedreddin, Amirasen, Nazareth, Neopolis, Camele, Mustoplice, and Maruch;
Hazadinneassar had charge of Mount Royal, Crach, Corisin,
and part of Armenia, but Saladin was the sovereign ruler
over all of them.
