ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The movement of the Mardaites was imposed by the terms of the treaty of 688 AD between Justinian II and caliph Abd al-Malik. Specifically, the Byzantines were obliged to move the Mardaites from the region extending from Mopsuestia to the borders of the province of Armenia IV, and resettle them elsewhere. The forced movement proved fatal to the Byzantine defences along the borders with the Arabs in the region of Taurus. |
