Cities of Khazaria. Kromos Estatium
======================
The khazar cities here include not only those cities that were built by the khazar architects, but also those that were built before the arrival of the khazars, were used by the khazars for their needs and tasks for a long time.
=======================
Selinder of khazar **
Apparently Semender, the capital of Khazaria in 727.
This was the name of the khazar capital at Koestler, as well as at Brockhaus.
In this year, the Khagan tried to concentrate his troops against Jarrah, but the arabs, despite difficulties in overcoming the mountainous terrain, were able to take Selinder. After that, Jarrah had to retreat before the onset of the rains, as well as after the defeat at the Bolanjar river, as a result of which arabs left everything looted, including the families of the khazar nobles, whom they wanted to sell in Byzantium.
After the defeat of Selinder by the arabs in 734, many local artisans moved to Itil, where both the khazar King and the Khagan moved their tent.
The khazars attempt to resist the arab invasion failed: their capital Selinder was taken; only the arab defeat on the banks of the Bolangjira river saved the country from complete devastation.
