薩吉王朝是哈里發(fā)在波斯西北部任命的一系（世襲）總督，作為阿拉伯化的粟特后裔、將門世家，為阿拔斯王朝效力。[1]阿布·薩吉·狄武達一世曾任巴格達與胡齊斯坦（Khuzistan）總督；不過隨著他的兒子穆罕默德在伊歷276年（889）被派往治理阿塞拜疆后，他們家族在當?shù)乇惬@得了約四十年的權力基礎；他們在位期間對亞美尼亞諸王公發(fā)動了多次戰(zhàn)役，特別是巴格達特王朝（Bagratids）與瓦斯普拉干的阿爾茨魯尼王朝（Ardzrunids），（這些戰(zhàn)役）成功擴大了薩吉王朝對王公們的宗主權。但在阿布·穆薩菲爾·法特赫被謀殺后，薩吉王朝在這片土地的統(tǒng)治就結束了。隨之為爭奪該地而來的便是德萊木人與庫爾德人的首領們。

薩吉王朝的統(tǒng)治是十分重要的。因為它統(tǒng)治期間使外高加索東部的亞美尼亞地區(qū)受到了阿拉伯政治與文化的極大影響；不過，像塔希爾王朝一樣，薩吉王朝是忠于朝廷的，雖然擁有自治權，但脫離不了朝廷的掌控。

原文

The Sajids were a line of caliphal governors in north-western Persia, the family of a commander in the ‘Abbasid service of Soghdian descent which became culturally Arabised. Abu ‘l-Saj Diwdad i was governor in Baghdad and Khuzistan, but with his son Muhammad’s appointment to Azerbaijan in 276/889, the family acquired what was to be its power-base for some forty years. During their tenure of power, the Sajids led numerous campaigns against such Armenian princes as the Bagratids and the Ardzrunids of Vaspurakan and extended their suzerainty over them. After the murder of Abu ‘l-Musafir Fath, however, their rule in Azerbaijan ended, and control of the region passed to various Daylami and Kurdish chiefs.

Sajid rule was thus important for the extension of Arab political and cultural influence over the Armenian provinces of eastern Transcaucasia; but,like the Tahirids, the Sajids always remained faithful to their ‘Abbasid masters and must be considered as autonomous but not independent of Baghdad.
