Aṭ-Ṭīb

Al-Tib was a small town between Wasit and Susa, on the eastern side of the Mesopotamian plain. Medieval geographers placed it a day's journey from Qarqub and described it as prosperous despite its modest size. Its craftsmen made woven bands compared with those of Armenia, as well as other goods praised for their workmanship. The town belonged to a borderland where routes from Iraq approached the rivers and settlements of Khuzistan.
