Harthama ibn Arfaja al-Bariqi
هرثمة بن عرفجة البارقي
Harthama ibn Arfaja al-Bariqi — Ibn Durayd reverses the nasab; first to lay out Mosul's plots, settle Arabs and make it a misr, appointed by Umar after Utba's dismissal; he found a fort, Christian churches, few houses and the Jewish quarter, housed the Arabs on their allotments and built the congregational mosque — some say he first misr-ed and plotted al-Haditha before Mosul.
