A new phase in the history of Salamiyya began in the middle of the 13th century AH (19th century CE). It was at that time that Isma‘il b. Muhammad, the Ismaili amir of Qadmus who had succeeded in establishing his authority over a large section of the Ismaili community in Syria and who had been outlawed earlier for his rebellious activities, was permitted by the Ottoman authorities to settle permantly

Isma‘il b. Muhammad chose the ruins of Salamiyya as the site of his new Ismaili settlement.

By 1861, Salamiyya had become a large village with numerous dwellings in its restored fort (J.H. Skene, Rambles in the deserts of Syria, London 1864, 158).

The last major migration of the Syrian Ismailis to Salamiyya occurred in 1919; these settlers built their houses in a new quarter of the town known as the “quarter of the Kadmusis”.

قطعت جهيزة قول كل خطيب

أصل هذا المثل أن قوماً اجتمعوا يخطبون في صلح بين حيين قتل أحدهما من الآخر قتيلاً، ويسألون أن يرضوا بالدية، فبينما هم في ذلك، إذ جاءت أمة يقال لها «جهيزة» فقالت: إن القاتل قد ظفر به بعض أولياء المقتول، فقالوا عند ذلك «قطعت جهيزة قول كل خطيب»، أي قد استغني عن الخطب.

Automatically translated text:

Cut Ghaizh say every preacher

Of this proverb that folk met preachers in reconciliation between neighborhoods killed one of the other dead, and ask that liked Baldeh, while those in, say, as a nation came to «Ghaizh» said : that the killer may win some parents murdered, and said at that « cut Ghaizh say every preacher », had waived any speeches.

Suggest a better translation

It's "Jaheezah", she severed the oratory of every orator. It's an arabic idiom. When someone junior says a simple truth after which no more needs to be said, it's said, "Jaheezah severed the statement of every orator".
