In his work The Antiochene Wars, Walter the Chancellor recorded that on the night of 29 November 1114 CE, “there was an immense and terrible earthquake in Antioch and its region.” After describing the destruction in Antioch, he wondered, “What of al-Atharib?” and “What of the other Antiochene lands?” Although he observed that “a comparable torment was imagined happening in quite disparate places,” he offered no clear answer regarding the fate of al-Atharib. Kemal ad-Din (also known as Ibn al-ʿAdim), however, did address the matter, reporting that al-Atharib was “almost completely destroyed.”
