Summary

Map of the Battle of Dayr al-'Aqul, and of the routes taken by the Saffarid army (red) and main 'Abbasid army (blue). This map was created for the article <a class="external free" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Dayr_al-%27Aqul">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Dayr_al-%27Aqul</a>.

The route taken by both armies are relatively straightforward. However, the movement of the Saffarid forces through al-Ahwaz province is somewhat speculative, as there were multiple roads between 'Askar Mukram and al-Sus; it is possible that they instead took the more northerly road that passed through Tustar and Junday Sabur before reaching al-Sus.

The principal sources for this map are al-Tabari, pp. 168-70; al-Mas'udi, pp. 41-43; and Ibn Khallikan, pp. 313-19. Geographical information is principally derived from the maps of Le Strange and Popovic in their respective works.
