Armenia rebels. During the insurrection of ibn-az-Zubair, Armenia rose and its nobles[1] with their followers threw off their allegiance. When Muḥammad ibn-Marwân held under his brother ʿAbd-al-Malik the governorship of Armenia, he led the fight against them and won the victory, slaughtering and taking captives. Thus, he subdued the land. He promised those who survived higher stipends than the ordinary soldiers' pay. For that purpose they assembled in churches in the province of Khilâṭ where he locked them in and put guards on the door, and then he frightened them.

He was later made the governor of Armenia by ʿUmar ibn-ʿAbd-al-ʿAzîz. This ʿAdi was the one after whom the Nahr ʿAdi at al-Bailaḳân was named. According to others, the ʿâmil of ʿUmar was Ḥâtim ibn-an-Nuʿmân, but that is not confirmed.
