  "en": "Masisa (Mopsuestia), the Syrian march-fortress on the Jayhan; unpeopled by Muslims until Abdullah ibn Abd al-Malik built its fortress in year 84 on the ancient foundation, settling three hundred picked men and a mosque on its hill, while its church Herya had been the Byzantines' wintering goal; Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz meant to raze it and held back when shown it shielded Antioch, building the Kafarbayya mosque with its cistern; Hisham added the rabad, Marwan the eastern suburb with wall, gate and moat, Abu al-Abbas four hundred more garrison-men with estates, and the Mansur–Mahdi–Harun succession kept building the marches."
