Map of the Abbasid province of al-Ahwaz and the surrounding regions during the rebellion of the Zanj, from 869 to 883 A.D. All settlements on this map are listed by al-Tabari in his <i>History of the Prophets and Kings,</i> trans. "The History of al-Tabari," volumes 35 through 37. The location of cities and towns that no longer exist were determined using the maps of Le Strange and Popovic in their respective works; their placement on the map should be considered approximate only.
