Accounts of the 1114 CE Marash earthquake agree that parts of Harran’s city walls and houses collapsed and many perished. Ibn al-Jawzi, born a year after the event, recorded that parts of the city wall and numerous homes fell upon their inhabitants—the most detailed account of local destruction. Ibn al-Athir named Ḥarrān among the towns “destroyed,” adding that “a great number of people perished under the rubble.” Writing later, Kemal ad-Din (Ibn al-Adim) reported that a terrible earthquake “laid waste” to Harran, while the Syriac chronicler Bar Hebraeus confirmed that sections of its city wall collapsed during the same quake.
