Kom Sharik is a place on Amr ibn al-As's road from al-Fustat to Alexandria, where he met the whole Roman force; they fought for three days until the Romans broke. 1 Ibn Abd al-Hakam says it is the mound called Kom Sharik after Sharik ibn Sumayy, who either caught the Romans there or was driven onto it and held out. 2 See the battle of Kom Sharik.
