... In the same year, Nur ed-Din besieged El-Carac for some time, but
then he decamped. []
This year in Syria there was
great earthquake that devastated the country. Nur ed-Din
hastened to raise the ramparts (from his strong places) and to protect his possessions against any invasion.
The Franks also had to suffer from the earthquake;

the other. — Kotb ed-Din Maudoud, son of Zengi and ruler of Mosul, died in
the month of du'l-hiddja of this year (August-September 1170).
