Salibi al-Zahir

Salibi al-Zahir (given name also spelled Sulaybi or Celebi) (died 1773) was the multazem (tax farmer) of Tiberias in the mid-18th century, during the Ottoman rule.

He was appointed to the post by his father, Zahir al-Umar, the virtually autonomous ruler of northern Palestine.

However, he did join his brothers Uthman, Ahmad and Sa'id in a rebellion against their father, in which they were defeated.

[2] Salibi led a contingent of Zahir's troops to support Ali Bey al-Kabir's bid to regain control of Egypt from Abu al-Dhahab.

[3] Zahir was distressed by the death of his son and upon hearing the news, he collapsed to the ground and exclaimed "From this day I am undone".
