Note:

Udayy ibn Artah al-Fazari (Arabic: عدي بن أرطاة الفزاري) (died 720) was an official in the service of the Umayyad dynasty, serving as governor of Basra during the caliphate of 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz from 717 to 720. He was killed shortly after during the revolt of Yazid ibn al-Muhallab.  

Udayy was appointed to the governorship of Basra by the caliph Umar II shortly after the latter's ascension in 717.^[1] After receiving his appointment, he established himself in Basra; he also ordered the arrest of his predecessor Yazid ibn al-Muhallab, whom Umar had dismissed from the governorship of Iraq. Once Yazid was captured, Udayy shipped him to the caliph's residence in Syria, where he was cast into prison.^[2]

Adi served as governor of Basra for the duration of Umar's caliphate.^[3] Unlike Yazid, who had been governor of all of Iraq and the eastern provinces, Adi did not have authority over Kufa and Khurasan, which were placed under separate governors.^[4] His area of responsibility, however, was still considerable, and extended from Basra and Bahrayn in the west to Sind in the east.^[3] Oman was also initially under Udayy's authority, but Umar revoked his jurisdiction over it after receiving complaints about his lieutenant's administration there.^[5]
