فِيهَا وَرَدَ كِتَابٌ مِنْ مَلِكِ الرُّومِ إِلَى الْخَلِيفَةِ الرَّاضِي مَكْتُوبٌ بِالرُّومِيَّةِ وَالتَّفْسِيرُ بِالْعَرَبِيَّةِ، فَأَمَّا الرُّومِيُّ فَبِالذَّهَبِ وَالْعَرَبِيُّ بِالْفِضَّةِ، وَحَاصِلُهُ طَلَبُ الْهُدْنَةِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ، وَوَجَّهَ مَعَ الْكِتَابِ بِهَدَايَا وَأَلْطَافٍ كَثِيرَةٍ فَاخِرَةٍ، فَأَجَابَهُ الْخَلِيفَةُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، وَفُودِيَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ سِتَّةُ آلَافِ أَسِيرٍ، مَا بَيْنَ ذِكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى عَلَى نَهْرِ الْبَدَنْدُونِ.
Translation
✧ In it, a letter arrived from the king of the Romans to the Caliph al-Rāḍī, written in Greek with an Arabic translation: the Greek in gold and the Arabic in silver. Its content was a request for a truce between him and him. He sent with the letter many splendid gifts and rarities. The Caliph agreed to that. Six thousand Muslim captives, both male and female, were ransomed at the river al-Badandūn.
