		According to the 9th century Arab geographer Ya'kubi, ar-Ramlah (Ramle) was founded in 716 by the Khalifa Sulaimen, with an initial population of persons moved from Ludd (Lydda, Lod).
		Ramle flourished as the capital of Jund Filastin, which was one of the five districts of the ash-Sham (Syrian) province of the Arab-Muslim empire.
		Later the capital moved to Jerusalem and Ramle lost its political importance while remaining a major town.

		Palaestina Prima, essentially the southern part of the country (without most of the Negev), was named Jund Filastin (Filastin military district).
		Since the Arabs often retained Roman geographic names, the name Jund Urdunn may indicate that the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire had changed Palaestina Secunda to Iordania before the conquest.
		The name Filastin was not used by Muslim rulers after the Crusades, and the whole Bilad ash-Sham was several times reorganized administratively by Mamluks and Ottomans before the British arrived.

		Palestina Prima became Jund Filastin, an adaptation of the Roman name, with its administrative capital at Lydda, and later Ramla.
		According to several scholars, the removal of the capital from Caesarea brought about the city's decline, its abandonment by most of the population, and consequent neglect by the authorities.
		Moslem historians and geographers refer to the city of Caesarea as a frontier city (Ribbat), holding a position of importance on the coast of Jund Filastin.

		Jund Filastin (literally "Palestine") was a region extending from the Sinai to south of the plain of Acre.
		As noted above, the Romans changed the region's name from "Syria Judea" to "Syria Palestina" in the Second century as part of the collective punishment of the Jewish people.
