Battle of Dathin
The Battle of Dathin ((アラビア語:داثن))〔Le Strange, p. 574. Variant forms of the name include al-Dāthinah, al-Dabiyyah and al-Dābiyah; al-Tabari, p. 108 & n. 587〕 was a minor battle during the Arab–Byzantine Wars between the Rashidun Caliphate and the Byzantine Empire in February 634, but became very famous in the literature of the period.〔
The battle took place following a series of Arab raids around Gaza. The Byzantine commander (''dux'' and ''candidatus'') Sergius assembled a small detachment of soldiers (due to shortness of troops), and led that mounted army from his base at Caesarea some 125 kilometers south to the vicinity of Gaza. From there he proceeded against an Arab force that was likely numerically superior〔Kaegi, p. 93, speculated that the Arab army may have numbered "more than one thousand, perhaps double or triple that."〕 and commanded by Abu Umamah al-Bahili.〔Al-Tabari, p. 108〕 The opposing forces met at the village of Dathin on February 4, 634 AD, not far from Gaza.〔Kaegi, p. 93; "Extract," pp. 18-19〕 The Byzantine were defeated and the ''candidatus'' Sergius himself was killed, together with 300 of his soldiers.〔Kaegi, pp. 90-93. Al-Tabari, p. 108, and al-Baladhuri, pp. 167-68, do not name the Byzantine commander, referring to him only by the general rank of patrician (baṭrīq). Theophanes, p. 37, names Sergius, but does not specify the location of the battle and dates it to 632-633 AD.〕
According to the near-contemporary ''Doctrina Jacobi nuper baptizati'', the Muslim victory was celebrated by the local Jews,〔Kaegi, p. 94〕 who had been a persecuted minority within the Roman Empire.
