THE HISTORY OF SHARVAN AND AL-BAB 23 country. For a time he became an important personage and his pernicious influence in the country became so great that time after time he defeated Harun's army until Harun sent against him Yazid b, Mazyad with some troops, and he handed to him Dhul-faqar, the scimitar of the Prophet and later of 'AH b, Abi~Talib.Yazid marched upon *Wal!d b. Tarif and a succession of violent battles took place between them, Then they met in single combat and Yazid overcame *Walid b. Tarif and struck of his leg and then cut off his head. This happened at the Haditha-of- Jazira1 in 178, or, as some say, in 179/795. Harun al-Rashid raised Yazid to a high rank and in 183/799 appointed him governor to the aforesaid provinces. In 183/799 Yazid proceeded thither and all the time his behaviour was excellent and just, until he died in Barda'a in Azarbayjan in 185/801, It is reported that while he was eating a repast a beautiful handmaiden was given to him as a present and he sent away the meal and had intercourse with her and died in her arms. This was in Barda'a and there he was buried, Thus runs the report of Ibn Khallikan taken from Kitab al-agMm, And poets lamented Yazid in eloquent qasvdas, §2, Yazid (B 720) left two sons, noble and renowned. One of them P'1- was KHALID b, YAZID who was the patron praised by Abu-Tammam al-Ta'i, author of the Hamasa, and the other, MUHAMMAD b, YAZID, who was known for his extreme liberality and generosity: the word "no" was never heard from him. When his father died, Khalid was governor of Mausil and he carried on in this office. Several amirs in succession were appointed by the caliph to Azarbayjan, Arran and Armenia until in 205/820 Ma'mun sent KHALID b. YAZID b. Mazyad al-Shaybani to those provinces. The people of Shakki revolted against him and k killed his deputy (famil) in that place. Khalid'marched against them and, though they attacked him by night, he defeated them and killed many of them. They sued for peace and he granted it to them, on condition that they paid 500,000 dirhams yearly. Then he took hostages from them and left them. Then the *Georgians2 revolted and he went out to their country and fought there the Sanar. He defeated them and slew many of them. Then he took hostages from them and crucified them. Thence he proceeded to the region of Dabil (Dvin) and remained there until he was dismissed (mrifa] about 220/835 after the death of Ma'mun, §3, Mu'tasim gave those parts as a fief to the greatest of his ghulams (servants?) Afshin. By that time the rebellion of Babak, the Khurrami 1 By the estuary of the Great Zab. 2 Spelt Khazran, read: *Jurzcin.
