Khayzan

Khayzan is a town in the district of Armenia. Al-Baladhuri reports that al-Jarrah ibn Abd Allah al-Hakami made peace with the people of Hamzin on their removal to it, and gave them two villages from it. Later Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik made peace with it, and ordered its fortress demolished. He took for himself estates there, known today as the Hawz of Khayzan. It is connected with the account of Maslama's campaign against the Khazars. ^{1 2}
