Jund al-Urdunn
The Muslims organized the territory of the Byzantine "Dioceses Orientes" (Syria) into five military districts, or provinces (, pl. ). The territory of "Palaestina Prima" and "Palaestina Tertia" became Jund Filastin and stretched from Aqaba in the south to the lower Galilee in the north and from Arish in the west to Jericho in the east. The Tulunids later expanded the borders of the province eastwards and southwards to include regions in modern-day southern Jordan and north-western Saudi Arabia. The newly founded city Ramla became Jund Filastin's administrative capital and most important city. Jund al-Urdunn corresponded with "Palaestina Secunda", covering most of the Galilee, the western part of Peraea in Transjordan, and the coastal cities Acre and Sur (Tyre). Tabariyyah (Tiberias) replaced Scythopolis as the province's capital.
