  "en": "Ayn Zarba (Anazarbus) among the Syrian march-cities; al-Rashid ordered its building and fortification in year 180, summoning levies of Khurasanis and others whom he granted house-lots there; the Byzantines raided it while al-Qasim ibn al-Rashid dwelt at Dabiq, driving off its people's herds and taking captives, until the men and volunteers of Masisa flew to them and recovered all that had reached the raiders, so al-Qasim sent men to fortify and repair it and added to its garrison; al-Mu'tasim later transferred to it and its districts people of the Zutt who had mastered the Bata'ih between Wasit and Basra, and its people profited by them."
