Barid (caliphate) : ウィキペディア英語版
Barid (caliphate)
The ''barīd'' ((アラビア語:بريد), often translated as Postal Service) was the state-run courier service of the Umayyad and later Abbasid Caliphates. A major institution in the early Islamic state, the ''barid'' was not only responsible for the overland delivery of official correspondence throughout the empire, but it additionally functioned as a domestic intelligence agency, which informed the caliphs on events in the provinces and the activities of government officials.
== Etymology ==
The etymology of the Arabic word ''barid'' has been described by historian Richard N. Frye as "unclear". A Babylonian origin has been suggested by late-19th-century scholars who offered the following disputed explanation: ''berīd'' = Babyl. ''buridu'' (for the older
*''(p)burādu'') = 'courier' and 'fast horse'. It has also been proposed that, since the ''barid'' institution appears to have been adopted from the courier systems previously maintained by both the Byzantines and Persian Sassanids, the word ''barid'' could be derived from the Late Latin ''veredus'' ("post horse") or the Persian ''buridah dum'' ("having a docked tail," in reference to the postal mounts).
