Bahra (tribe)

 * ... that under the Byzantine Empire, the Arab Christian tribe of Bahraʾ were tasked with guarding the Syrian holy city of Sergiopolis from nomadic marauders? Source: Irfan Shahid, 2002, Byzantium and the Arabs in the Sixth Century, Volume 2, Part 1. p. 118-119. Rusafa (Sergiopolis) was not only a shrine and holy city ... So Bahra' would have been ... guarding the shrine of the saint ... from the inroads of the pastoralists and the more organized offensives of the Lakhmids.

 * Symbol question.svg New article (moved from draft). Long enough, no neutrality issues, no sourcing issues (inline citations, offline sources appear to be very reputable). The hook is quite interesting and is well sourced; I have verified that it is accurate. So everything is fine for it to appear on DYK, except we just need a QPQ review by the nominator.
