History
Dhibin was a mainly grain-growing village in the late 16th century, during Ottoman rule.[2] In the Ottoman tax registers of 1596, it was a village located the nahiya (subdistrict) of Butayna, in the Qadaa of Hauran. It had a population of twelve households and four bachelors, all Muslims. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 1,000 akçe.[3]
By the early 19th century, the village had been abandoned like many of the other villages of Jabal Hauran due to Bedouin depredations.[2] Druze migrants from other parts of Syria populated the villages of Jabal Hauran by the 1860s. Dhibin became part of the sheikhdom of the Bani al-Atrash clan under the leadership of Ismail al-Atrash between 1860 and 1867.[4] The inhabitants of Dhibin moved to annex and seasonally inhabit the village of Umm el-Jimal (in modern-day Jordan) in 1909.[5] Dhibin's families divided the ruins of its ancient houses among themselves in 1910.[5] They lived there on and off until around 1930, when they permanently abandoned Umm al-Jimal.[5] Dhibin was the birthplace of Salim Hatum, a Syrian Army officer and key participant in the Baathist-led 1966 Syrian coup d'état.[6]
Archaeology
Funerary material from the Middle Bronze Age has been found at Dhibin.[7] A mid-4th-century inscription on a ruined building recording the name of Roman emperor Valentinian I has been found in the village as well.[8]
