الزط

The Zutt — a Sindhi people among the captives taken for the Persian jund; pre-Islamic they pastured the coasts and the Taff, then hearing of the asawira they converted and Abu Musa lodged them in Banu Hanzala at Basra. A second mass al-Hajjaj settled with families and buffaloes in Kaskar's lowlands overran the batiha and cut the roads under al-Ma'mun, till Ujayf ibn Anbasa took them wholesale for al-Mu'tasim and scattered them to Khaniqin, Ayn Zarba and the thughur.

al-Mu'tasim Abu Ishaq ibn al-Rashid

al-Mu'tasim bi'llah Abu Ishaq Muhammad ibn Harun al-Rashid, eighth caliph of the Abbasids; in al-Baladhuri: in his caliphate the Romans came out to Zibatra, killed its men, captured its women and wrecked it — which grieved and angered him so that he raided them as far as Amorium, having destroyed forts on the way, camped on it, took it, killed the fighters, captured the women and children, demolished it, and ordered Zibatra rebuilt, fortified and garrisoned.
