“بين الخابور ودجلة كانت منازل التغالبة او بني تغلب احدى قبائل العرب الكبرى، وكانت مسيحية سريانية ارثوذكسية ظلت على نصرانيتها حتى المئة العاشرة. ومن اشهر رجالها غياث بن غوث المعروف بالاخطل الشاعر الذائع الصيت حوالي سنة 710 - اقفرت من اهلها في القرن الرابع عشر. ثم مُصّرت حوالي سنة 1921 فاستحدثت فيها بلدة الحسكة ومدينة القامشلي وغيرهما وانتشر فيها العمران” 2

“a district between the rivers Khabur and Tigris. In ancient times it was the abode of the bani Taghlib, a large Arab tribe which was Syrian Orthodox and remained Christian until the tenth century. One of its members is the famous poet Ghiyath Ibn Ghawth, nicknamed al-Akhṭal (c. 710). It became desolate in the fourteenth century, but was resettled about 1921. New towns such as Ḥasaka, Qamishli and others were built in it.” 3

Notes

In Dolabani's translation of Barsoum's description “ܘܐܶܬܚ̈ܕܰܬܝ” should read “ܘܶܐܬܚ̈ܕܰܬܝ” and “܇ ܒܘܪܐ” should read “ܚܒܘܪܐ” .

Not the same place as Gazarta, which is not necessarily west of the Tigris.
