The House of Arabu(Annotated) (English Edition)

The Arabs are first mentioned in the mid-ninth century BCE as a tribal people dwelling in the central Arabian Peninsula.[30] The Arabs appear to have been under the vassalage of the Neo-Assyrian Empire (911–612 BC), and the succeeding Neo-Babylonian (626–539 BC), Achaemenid (539–332 BC), Seleucid and Parthian empires.[31][32][33] Arab tribes, most notably the Ghassanids and Lakhmids, begin to appear in the southern Syrian Desert from the mid 3rd century CE onward, during the mid to later stages of the Roman and Sasanian empires.[34][35][36] Tradition holds that Arabs descend from Ishmael, the son of Abraham.[37][38][39] The Arabian Desert is the birthplace of "Arab".[40] There are other Arab groups as well that spread in the land and existed for millennia.[41][42]
