Bateekh Samarra Melon

Has any one grown this? I'm real tempted as it fits our concept of finding the rare and tasty things to grow and sell for select restaurants and the farmers market.

Never grew it but noticed the name "Bateekh" which means "watermelon" in Arabic. Interested to hear if you know of its origin. Thanks.
