Notes
1.
Tarsos was an important frontier city and it had a formidable naval force. The emir Damianos appears to have been independent from the Tulunid regime in Syria and in fact acted in support of the Abbasid caliph al-Mutawakil (892â902). Together with Leo of Tripoli, Damianos attacked Egypt in 904, the first step towards its subjugation by al-Mutadid in 905 (Odetallah 1995: 98).
2.
In Arabic sources, Leo is more often referred to as GhulÄm ZurÄf (âthe page of ZurÄfÄâ), because he had been an attendant in the house of the chamberlain at the Abbasid court in Baghdad, who was nominated governor of Tripoli in 863 by the caliph al-MustaâÄ«n (Odetallah 1995: 98; Farag 1989: 135).
