[10e] According to a controversial study by Patricia Crone, Byzantine writers referred to early Muslims by a name derived from this Biblical character. This handmaiden was the mother, by Abraham, of Ishmael.
ANSWER: Hagar [or Hajar]
[10h] In medieval texts, Muslims are depicted as worshiping Muhammad, Apollo, and a god with this name. Possibly deriving from a word meaning “thrice-wandering,” this word later became a synonym for “virago.”
ANSWER: Termagant [or Tervagante]
