Umar's forces were the greater part of his emirate's strength, but their size is unknown; the contemporary Muslim historian Ya'qubi writes that Umar had 8,000 men at his disposal, but the Byzantine historians Genesius and Theophanes Continuatus inflate the Arab army to 40,000 men.

Umar mandaba el grueso de las fuerzas de su emirato, pero se desconoce cuántos soldados le acompañaban: el historiador musulmán contemporáneo Ya'qubi indica que Umar contaba con ocho mil, mientras que los historiadores bizantinos Genesio y Teófanes Continuatus afirman que el tamaño del ejército era mucho mayor e incluía a unos cuarenta mil hombres.
