Arab naval forces under Abdullah ibn Sa'ad …
Years: 649 - 649
Arab naval forces under Abdullah ibn Sa'ad conquer Cyprus, sacking the capital Constantia after a short siege and pillaging the rest of the island.
The Cypriots agree to pay the same revenue as they have done to emperor Constans II.
The destruction of the capital causes the permanent abandonment of the city, whose inhabitants move to Arsinoë (Famagusta).
