Tachkastan also known as Tashik in Tang Chinese and Tayyaye in Syriac was an Arab State from the Battle of Dhi Qar until 692CE in Al-Jazizah, Iraq between the Persian and Roman Empires. Its Manichean polity had a couple of Sadducee rulers among its Kings which included:

Hani ibn Qabisa d.628

Hormizd of Nisibis 4 yrs. d.632

Emir Ambrus 12yrs. d.644

King Tashik 12yrs. d.656

It was consumed by 36 years of Fitna until 692 when Abdul Malik ibn Marwan conquered Abdallah ibn Al-Zubayir and turned it into the Umyyad Caliphate.

According to a concordant synthesis of passages of the Arab-Byzantine Chronicle and the Diary of Egeria, the original "Makah" was located where Rome, Persia and Chaldea met indicating that Chaldea was to the North of Tachkastan.
