Rab El Thalathine (رب الثلاثين) is a village in the Marjeyoun District in southern Lebanon.
Name
According to E. H. Palmer, the name Rubb Thelâthin comes from rubb meaning syrup; and thelâthin meaning thirty.[1]
History
In 1875, Victor Guérin found it to be a village inhabited by Metawileh. He further remarked that the mosque was constructed out of parts from an old church.[2]
In 1881, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) found here "several lintels and cisterns."[3]
They further described it: "A small village, built of stone, containing about 100 Metawileh, situated on a hill-top, surrounded by figs and arable land; water supply from cisterns and spring near, and a small birket.[4]
