The siege of Kamkh
Al-Baladhuri relates that al-Mansur put him in charge of the raiders in 149 AH from Hadithat al-Mawsil, and ordered him to raid Kamkh with them. He went with al-Hasan ibn Qahtaba to Melitene, and they took provisions from there, then camped at Kamkh. 1
Catapults were set up, and the Byzantines killed two hundred Muslims with stones. The Muslims made shelters until they took the fortress. Matar al-Warraq was with him on this raid. 1
