Abar-Kavadh

Iraq

Abar-Kavad (also spelled Abar-Kawad, meaning "Superior is Kavad"), known in Arabic sources as Abarqubadh and Abazqubadh, was a sub-district in the Sasanian province of Meshan. During the Muslim conquest of Persia, it was defended by a certain Faylakan. In 635 (or 637) Abar-Kavad was seized by the Arab military officer Utbah ibn Ghazwan.
