Overview
Khilat is a town on Lake Van, which al-Baladhuri counts among the towns of Armenia. On its road Habib ibn Maslama reached Maryala, with the letter of Iyad ibn Ghanm. Iyad had granted him safety for himself, his property and his lands in return for a tribute, and Habib carried this out for him. 1
