Name
According to A.B.D.R. Eagle, Artil is "manifestly the modern pronunciation" of the name; it is vocalized Artul in the Sīrat of Ali ibn Muhammad al-Abbasi, and this may be the older pronunciation of the name.[2]
History
The first known mention of is in the Ghāyat al-amānī, by Yahya ibn al-Husayn,[3] which says that during Shawwal of 290 AH (August-September 903), Ali ibn al-Husay Khuftum, the former Abbasid governor of Sanaa, stayed at Artil for six days before being taken captive here and then imprisoned at Bayt Baws.[2] According to Robert T.O. Wilson, Artil was used as "a base for movements against Sanaa rather than a fortifiable and defensible position" during this period.[3]
