The 803 Mopsuestia earthquake took place in the vicinity of Mopsuestia and the Gulf of Alexandretta (İskenderun) in 802 or 803 CE (Hijri year 187).
[1] The main source for this earthquake is Al-Suyuti (15th century), who records both the earthquake and a related inundation of the Ceyhan River.
He also records a seismic sea wave (tsunami) caused by the earthquake.
[1] Al-Suyuti omitted this earthquake in his work History of the Caliphs.
