Maslama raids into the region of Isauria …

Years: 709 - 709

Maslama raids into the region of Isauria in 709.

In the same year, Maslama is appointed military governor of Armenia and Azerbaijan, succeeding his uncle Muhammad ibn Marwan.

He had already holds the post of governor of Jund Qinnasrin, which is based around Aleppo.

His governorship of this province is not as well-documented by early Arabic chroniclers as his other posts, although contemporary historian Jere L. Bacharach claims Maslama was the likely patron of the Umayyad Mosque of Aleppo and possibly some construction works in Qinnasrin.
