Characterizations by Ambraseys (2009) and Ambraseys et al (1994)

Ambraseys (2009) notes that in Continuation of History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria by Mawhub ibn Mansur Mufarrij a plague follows the earthquake - something that may have been a result of food scarcity which is documented by Ibn Muyassir (19) and Ibn Zafir (74-75) in Kitab al-Duwal al-munkati'a. Ambraseys et al (1994) states that neither Ibn Muyassir nor Ibn Zafir make reference to the earthquake.
