Description: The Numayrid dynasty at its height. By 1061, the Numayrids controlled the western parts of Upper Mesopotamia, including the cities of Harran, Raqqa, Saruj, al-Qarqisiyah (Circesium) and al-Rahba. Their leading prince, Mani' ruled from the city of Harran, but the tribe generally controlled events in the cities through their agents, while they resided in the pastures.
