  "en": "Dabil (Dvin) of the third Armenia's cities; Anushirwan settled and fortified it; Habib ibn Maslama besieged its people and sat upon it until the Roman Maurian met him, night-attacked and killed him and spoiled his camp — in al-Waqidi's report — while the sounder version with them has Salman meeting the Maurian at Qaliqala. In 280 the city was buried by an earthquake after a Shawwal eclipse — about a hundred houses surviving, thirty thousand dead pulled from the rubble {cite:muntazam-ibn-al-jawzi p. 143}."
