Summary
In 369/980 an embassy from Constantinople reached Baghdad seeking the surrender of the rebel commander Bardas Skleros, who had taken refuge in Diyar Bakr. Adud al-Dawla sent his reply to the Byzantine court 'by the hand of the qadi Abu Bakr al-Bakillani' 1; al-Baqillani's own biographical entry likewise records a visit to the Byzantine court 2.
