Antioch

Antioch, the Syrian frontier city on the Amanus approach; its people compounded with Abu Ubayda for jizya and evacuation — some departing, some staying at a dinar and a jarib per adult — then broke faith, and Iyad ibn Ghanm with Habib ibn Maslama retook it on the first treaty; Umar ordered murabita of right intent settled there and the summer expeditions attached to it, Uthman granted estates in it, and Mu'awiya transferred Persians and people of Ba'labakk, Hims and the two Misrs to it in year 42; it holds Bab Muslim named for Muslim ibn Abdullah, grandfather of Abdullah ibn Habib, whom a Byzantine killed with a stone on the wall; al-Walid granted troops the Saluqiyya lands and built its fortress, and Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik's Baghras lands became his endowment in the way of good.
