  "en": "Alexandria, taken by Amr ibn al-As by force with neither covenant nor contract — in the wording of his letter to Umar ibn al-Khattab, though in Yazid ibn Abi Habib's reading it was all treaty — after Rome's king rejected the Muqawqis's peace, its people shutting the gate and declaring war; al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam laid a khitta in it, and the Muqawqis asked Amr to bury him in one of its churches he named."
