Abstract	:	Basra (al-Baṣra), on the Shaṭṭ al-ʿArab, is Iraq’s major port city. The mediaeval city was built on the site of a Persian settlement called, in Middle Persian, Vahishtabadh Ardashīr. In the eleventh/eighteenth century, a new city was built near the site of the ancient al-ʿUbulla. ʿUtba b. Ghazwān, a Companion of the Prophet, reportedly founded Basra as a military camp, on orders from the caliph ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (r. 13–23/634–44), allowing Muslim troops to control the route from the Persian Gulf
