History

[edit]

Robert T.O. Wilson identified As Sunnatayn with the al-Sinnatān mentioned in the 10th century writer al-Hamdani in his geographic work Sifat Jazirat al-Arab. According to him, it is also referred to by Muhammad ibn Salah al-Sharafi as being adjacent to the territory of Bilad al-Kalbiyyin, although the reading is uncertain.[2]
