 Radhanite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abu'l Qasim Ubaid'Allah ibn Khordadbeh, the Director of Posts and Police (spymaster/postman) for the province of Jibal under the Abbasid Caliph al-Mutammid (r.869-885 CE), wrote al-Qitab al Masalik w’al Mamalik ("The Book of Roads and Kingdoms"), probably around 870.
English-language (or Western) sources added the suffix -ite to the term, as is done with ethnonyms or names derived from placenames.
