An earthquake on 28 October 1354 CE was reported to have killed twenty-two people in Hama, Hims, and Baalbek. The event is known only from a single source — Yasin al‑ʿUmari — who wrote about it 441 years after it occurred. Although his account is late, the specificity of his casualty figures (for example, “seven women and three men and boys died in Hama”) suggests that he had access to an earlier source.
