Overview
Al-Tabari mentions that in 283 AH, reporting a letter that came from Tarsus, the Slavs raided the Byzantines as far as Constantinople. 1
The report
The gates of the city were shut. Then the king of the Byzantines enlisted Muslims who were with him, and they drove the Slavs back. 1
The king later feared them, and sent them back and scattered them through the cities. 1
The report is taken from a letter that came from Tarsus and needs an additional source.
