Ghasm (Arabic : غصم , also spelled Ghasam ) is a village in southern Syria , administratively part of the Daraa Governorate , located northeast of Daraa and west of Bosra . Other nearby localities include Maaraba to the east, al-Sahwah to the north, al-Jiza to west and al-Mataaiya to the south. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Ghasm had a population of 3,666 in the 2004 census.[1]
History
[ edit ]
A Roman road , still in use in the late 19th century, leads to Ghasm.[2] Byzantine-era church. It was dedicated to the honor of Saints Sergius and Bacchus in 593 CE.[3]
Ottoman era
[ edit ]
Ghasm's inhabitants were originally settled Bedouin .[4] Sunni Muslim al-Miqdad clan has been the predominant family in Ghasm and a number of nearby towns since the Ottoman Empire era.[5]
In 1596 Ghasm appeared in the Ottoman tax registers as Gasim and was part of the nahiya Hauran Sanjak . It had an entirely Muslim population consisting of 25 households and 12 bachelors. The villagers paid a fixed tax rate of 40% on various agricultural products, including wheat , barley , summer crops, goats and/or beehives, and a water-mill; a total of 6,500 akçe .[6]
In 1838, Ghusam was noted as a ruin, situated "In the Nukrah, west of Busrah ".[7]
In 1895 travellers passing through the village were told of how the Druze had raided the village in 1893. The villagers had to rely on the Druze for the water-course to be led by the village, and in 1894 they had paid the Druze 200 medjidies.[2] [8]
