Abu'l-Faraj al-Tarsusi was a commander from Tarsus who served the Ikhshidids of Egypt. As his nisba indicates, Abu'l-Faraj was originally from Tarsus, a city on the frontier of the Muslim lands with the Byzantine Empire. According to Maqrizi, he came from a family with distinguished military background, and was instructed in the art of war and chivalry (furusiyya) by his father. He was involved in the border warfare with the Byzantines, and even spent a time as a prisoner of war of the latter. I
