It went on until 837, when al-Afshin defeated Babek. Captured by Smbat (Sahl-i Smbatean), the Armenian prince of the Caucasian province Shakki, Babek was handed over to al-Afshin, who brought him to Samarra, where he was put to death in the same year.
He was forced to leave his capital by night and seek secret entry into the Byzantine empire to ask help from his friend Emperor Theophilus. But the fates betrayed him; actually, one of the Armenian patriarches, Sahl b. Sunbat, from whom Babek asked protection, betrayed him.
Babek's insurrection was defeated only under al-Mu'tasim, who entrusted one of the Transoxiana princes, Afshin (220/835), with the direction of operation. Babek was betrayed by local dihqans whome he believed to be his allies and fell into enemy hands. He was handed to Afshin's troops by Sahl b. Sunbadh, an Armenian prince in 222/836-7, and executed in Samarra (223/837) while his brother and assistant 'Abd-Allah was delivered to the prince of Tabaristan, Ibn Sharvin, who had him put to death in Baghdad.
Afshin having had the town demolished by his corps of engineers, (kilghar'tyd) Babek took to flight and fell into the hands of Sahl b. Sonbat, the Armenian Patriarch who had him arrested while hunting.
The Mihranids were extinguished through the assassination of Varaz-Trdat II by Nerseh Pʿiłippean in 207/822-23, and the Armenian prince of Šakkī to the north of Arrān, Sahl i Smbatean (Arabic, Sahl b. Sonbāṭ), extended his power over Arrān. The province was in these years much disturbed by the revolt of the Ḵorramī rebel Bābak, whose center was at Baḏḏ just to the south of the Araxes, and it was Sahl who delivered up Bābak to the caliph al-Moʿtaṣem in 223/837-38 (see Minorsky, “Caucasica IV. 1. Sahl ibn-Sunbāṭ of Shakkī and Arrān,” in BSOAS 15, 1953, pp. 504-14).
Bābak rejected the document without opening it, and after sending the messengers away fled to Armenia with four or five male and female members of his family and one bodyguard. All except Bābak and his brother ʿAbd-Allāh and the guard were captured. Being close to starvation, Bābak sent the guard to a village to get food. The local ruler, Sahl b. Sonbāṭ (on whom see Nafīsī, pp. 135, 138, 175-76) was informed and received Bābak hospitably. Bābak, however, took the precaution of sending his brother ʿAbd-Allāh to ʿĪsā b. Yūsof b. Eṣṭefānūs (Ṭabarī, III, pp. 1223-24). Afšīn had already sent letters to the district promising a large reward for the capture of Bābak, and Sahl b. Sonbāṭ informed Afšīn of Bābak’s presence. After verifying this, Afšīn sent a large force under Abū Saʿīd Moḥammad b. Yūsof to capture Bābak. He was arrested after going out at Sahl b. Sonbāṭ’s suggestion to hunt (after being put in irons by Sahl b. Sonbāṭ according to Masʿūdī, Morūj, ed. Pellat, sec. 2807) and then taken to Afšīn’s camp at Barzand on 10 Šawwāl 222/15 September 837.
He delivered Bābak, after the latter was surrendered by the Armenians, to Afšīn in Barzand on 10 Šawwāl/15 September. In 224/839 al-Moʿtaṣem sent him with an army to Lārez and Donbāvand in the war against Māzyār.
