The exodus
Abu 'Amr Ibn 'Abd al-Barr quit his birthplace Cordoba; the year 403 had devastated the city when Sulayman al-Musta'in and the Berbers stormed it after a siege that starved its villages and gardens 1.
Eastward
He stayed in the west of al-Andalus for a time, then moved to its east, settling at Dania, Balansiya and Shatiba — the town where he would die 2.
