The Banu Abbas (Arabic: بنو عباس) are an Arabian tribe, descendants of Al-‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib. The caliphs of the Banu Abbas served as heads of the Muslim community for a period of five centuries (from 750 until the sack of Baghdad in 1258).[2] This was the Abbasid caliphate.
This article presents a
list of notable historical references to the name Palestine, and
cognates such as "Filastin" and "Palaestina", throughout the history of the region.
The term "Peleset" (
transliterated from
hieroglyphs as
P-r-s-t) is found in five inscriptions referring to a neighboring
people or land starting from
circa 1150 BC during the
Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. The first known mention is at the temple at
Medinet Habu which refers to the Peleset among those who fought with
Egypt in
Ramesses III's reign,
[2][3] and the last known is 300 years later on
Padiiset's Statue. The
Assyrians called the same region "Palashtu/Palastu" or "Pilistu", beginning with
Adad-nirari III in the
Nimrud Slab in c. 800 BC through to an
Esarhaddon treaty more than a century later.
[4][5] Neither the Egyptian nor the Assyrian sources provided clear regional boundaries for the term.

The first clear use of the term Palestine to refer to the entire area between
Phoenicia and
Egypt was in 5th century BC
Ancient Greece,
[7][8]when
Herodotus wrote of a "district of Syria, called
Palaistinê"
