Sahl ibn-Sunbat, or Sahl i Smbatean was a prince of Shaki[1] and, after the fall of Mihranids, ruled a significant part of Caucasus Albania. Sahl initially provided refuge to Babak Khorramdin and fought with him against Arabs. However, later he assisted Afshin, the prominent Turkish general[2] under Abbasid Caliph al-Mutasim, in capturing Babak Khorramdin. In 854, Sahl was captured and imprisoned by Bugha al-Kabir al-Sharabi, the Turkish commander [3] of Abbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil.
The exact origins of Sahl are not known[4]. Some sources state that he was an Armenian[4][5][6][7], while others believe he was Albanian[8].
