                        a city in the province of Maʿmurat al-ʿAzīz, near
                            the Euphrates. In the past it was large and famous. It was one of the
                            largest centers of the Syrians, who in 1049 had fifty-six churches
                            there. It was also the birthplace of a number of Syrian learned men.
                            Today it is a small town. (See the biography of Christodolus by Michael,
                            Coptic bishop of Tinnis [d. 1069], in Assemani’s "Confession of the
                            Fathers," Bibliotheca Orientalis, 2: 145-152, and in the Coptic
