Mansouri (Arabic: المنصوري) is a village in the Tyre District in South Lebanon.[2]
History[]
In the 1596 tax records in the early Ottoman era, it was named as a village, Mansura, in the nahiya (subdistrict) of Tibnin under the liwa' (district) of Safad. It had a population of 33 households, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on various agricultural products, including 1,300 akçe on wheat, 350 on barley; 150 on olive trees, 100 on "occasional revenues"; a total of 1,900 akçe.[3][4]
In 1875 Victor Guérin noted here about "a dozen houses built with ancient materials, quite regularly carved. A oualy was dedicated to Neby Mansour. Cisterns dug into the rock and several broken sarcophagi also prove that this hamlet, now inhabited by some poor Métualis families, has succeeded a much larger former village."[5]
The PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described the village: "A village built of stone, on the plain, surrounded by olives, figs, and arable land ; contains about 50 Moslems. Water from cisterns and spring near shore."[6] They also noted some rock-cut tombs by the village.[7]
