e/Mardaites

Information
has gloss	eng: The Mardaites (, ) were a cluster of Aramaic-speaking tribal groups, inhabiting the highland regions of southern Anatolia, Isauria, Syria, and Lebanon. Their origins are little known, but they may have been of Armenian (Mardistan) origin. What is certain is that they were Christians, probably Monophysite or Monothelite. There they were conscripted as rowers and marines in the Byzantine navy for several centuries. Others however remained behind and continued raiding Muslim-held territories until their chief stronghold fell to Maslamah ibn Abd al-Malik in 708. Maslama then resettled them throughout Syria, and although he allowed them to retain their faith, he conscripted them in his army.
