Zuṭṭ

Common card · No. 272401

Zuṭṭ is an Arabicised form of Jat. Originally inhabitants of lower Indus Valley, Jats were present in Mesopotamia from the 5th century CE since the times of the Sasanian Empire, although their main migration occurred after the establishment of Umayyad Caliphate. They were one of the prominent ethnic groups in lower Iraq during the Islamic Golden Age, serving as mercenary soldiers, farmers, traders and labourers in the Muslim states. Their mention fades from Arab chronicles after the 11th century.
