History

Antiquity

An inscription dated to 213–214 AD records a dedication by the Arisenoi and Iachphirenoi, two local groups, together with a certain Bassos. It was first interpreted as referring to the construction of one or more Tychaia (shrines dedicated to Tyche, the Greek goddess of fortune), but later scholarship has suggested that it more likely commemorates the dedication of smaller cult monuments, such as altars or aediculae.[2]

Ottoman period

In 1596, the village appeared in the Ottoman tax registers as Zabira as-Sarqiyya and was part of the nahiya of Bani Kilab in the Hauran Sanjak. It had a Muslim population consisting of 22 households and 8 bachelors, in addition to 2 Christian households; a total of 32 "taxable units". The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 40% on wheat (4800 a.), barley (1080 a.), summer crops (1120 a.), goats and beehives (200 a.), in addition to "occasional revenues" (100 a.); a total of 7,300 akçe. All of the revenue went to a Waqf.[3]

In 1838, ez-Zebireh was noted as a ruin, located "in the Lejah", west of Dama.[4]
