Aadchit Al Qusayr (Arabic: عدشيت القصير), or simply Aadchit (Arabic: عدشيت), is a village in the Marjeyoun District in South Lebanon.

Name

According to E. H. Palmer, the name Atshis comes from a personal name.[1]

History

In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "a small village, built of mud and stone, containing about 100 Metawileh, situated on a low ridge surrounded by small gardens and olives. The water supply is from four rock-cut cisterns."[2]
