The Persian name Sindbād ("Lord of the Sindh River") hints at a possible Persian origin. The oldest texts of the cycle are, however, in Arabic and no ancient or medieval Persian version has survived. The story as we have it is specifically set during the rule of the Abbasid Caliphate and particularly highlights the reign of Harun al-Rashid. The name Sindbad indicates the name of the Indus River (Sindhu).
