Salibi al-Daher (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,Daher al-Umar,the virtually autonomous ruler of northern Palestine. [1] He was Daher's eldest son and generally known to be his most loyal son. 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 Daher's troops to support Ali Bey al-Kabir's bid to regain control of Egypt from Abu al-Dhahab. However,Salibi and Ali Bey's troops were decisively defeated and Salibi was killed in battle. [3] Daher 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". [4] Salibi was succeeded by his brother Ahmad al-Daher as multazem of Tiberias. [5]
