, nom de deux amīrs libanais de la maison druze de Maʿn [ q.v.]. Fak̲h̲r al-dīn Ier, amīr du S̲h̲ūf (au N.-E. de Sidon) au temps de la conquête de la Syrie par les Ottomans, fut un des chefs qui offrirent leur soumission à Damas en 922/ 1516 au sultan conquérant Selīm Ier.

Fak̲h̲r al-dīn Ier fut assassiné sur les ordres du pas̲h̲a de Damas; son fils Ḳorḳmaz lui succéda. Fak̲h̲r al…

J.-C.

In 1756, when his master was sent to attend to the affa…
