At Konia the Egyptians captured the Ottoman commander-in-chief with minimal losses.

Evidence

This was the clearest victory Ibrahim had secured so far: the Ottomans lost ninety-two cannons, suffered 3,000 casualties and 10,000 were taken prisoner. Most significantly, the Egyptian army captured the Sadrazam himself who was led to Ibrahim Pasha as a prisoner. For their part, the Egyptians only suffered 262 casualties and 530 men were wounded. — Khaled Fahmy, All the Pasha_s Men_ Mehmed Ali, his…, 251
