A ‘ t -ibb Bdtiniyah, The U Batanians, Ismaelians, or Assas

Saba, Shayku’l jabal (literally, Old man of the mountain, but in
fact Sultan, or Prince of Persian Irak, otherwise named Jabal,
on account of its mountainous situation, the sovereignty of which
he usurped about the year 1090). His subjects were, upon re
ligious grounds, so entirely devoted to his service, that they put
themselves to death without hesitation the moment he gave the
command; and, it may be easily supposed, were equally ready,
fearless of danger, to assassinate those whom Hasan Saba, from
motives of policy, avarice, or vengeance, chose to number with
the dead. This despotic and most singular influence over his
followers rendered him so dreadfully formidable that he forced
tribute from most of the neighbouring princes; many of whom
kept bodies of Batanists in their pay, in order to despatch those
who were dangerous to their power; in consequence of which
several Khallfs, Sultans, Generals, VazTrs, and other eminent
leaders, fell under the daggers of those most determined villains.
