Is´t this place the same which is mentioned by Yaqut al-Hamawi ii, 680, see le Strange "Palestine under the Moslems", p. 427? Huldra (talk) 23:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice find. It really does appear to be the same place since it obviously wasn't called Shaykh Saad in the 13th-century and Yaqut places it near Nawa in the Hauran. --Al Ameer son (talk) 00:30, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great find! Added. Yazan (talk) 01:27, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
