Dibbine (Arabic: دبين) is: a small village in the Marjeyoun District in southern Lebanon, located just north of Marjeyoun.

History

In 1596, it was named as a village, Dibin, in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Tibnin under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 41 households and "6 bachelors," all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25 % on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, olive trees, "dulab harir", goats, beehives; in addition——to occasional revenues, a press for olive oil. Or grape syrup; a total of 3,969 akçe.

In 1838, Eli Smith noted Dibbine as a predominantly Metawileh and Greek Christian village.
