SHUBAITH. — "A mountain near Halab (Aleppo).
It is of great length. On its summit is a tableland,
where there are three villages. It is counted
as belonging to the district of Al Ahass [=Djebel il-Kass].
Shubaith is a Kûrah (District) of Halab, and they bring
into Halab from this mountain black rocks, of
which they make millstones." (Yāḳ īt, iii, 257 ;
learāsid ii. 94.)
