Kemal ad-Din (Ibn al-ʿAdim) reports that during the night of Sunday, 29 November 1114 CE, a terrible earthquake laid waste the districts of Aleppo, Harran, Antioch, Marʿash, and the Syrian borders. In Antioch, the tower of the north gate and a few houses in the high quarter [Akabah] collapsed, and there were numerous victims. He also records that the fort of Aʿzaz was no more than a ruin, presumably as a result of the earthquake. Kemal ad-Din notes that the damage was not very serious in Aleppo, but other places, like al-Athareb and Zardana, were almost completely destroyed.
