[edit]

In the Ottoman tax registers of 1596, it was a village located the nahiya of Butayna, part of Qada Hawran, under the name of Jiza. It had a population of 19 households and 7 bachelors, all Muslims. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 40% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 7,215 akçe. All of the revenue went to a waqf.[2]

In 1838, el-Jizeh was noted as a ruin, situated "In the Nukrah, west of Busrah".[3]
