Inkhil

Inkhil (Arabic: أنخل, romanized: Ankhil) is a town in southern Syria, administratively part of the al-Sanamayn District of the Daraa Governorate.

They paid a fixed tax-rate of 40% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, goats and bee-hives; in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 13,000 akçe.
