also organized according to administrative districts, even though the nahiye names are not
recorded anywhere in the register. This ordering is further indication that the registration

The emlak book of 1876 for rural Hebron contains separate entries for each village.
As can be seen on the map on the following page, showing the ordering of villages as they
appear in the emlak register, villages and mezra‘s are arranged neither alphabetically nor
geographically north to south. Rather, the ordering of locations within districts and from
district to district appears to approximate a path on the ground. It appears not unreasonable
to conclude that it replicates the path of the commission’s advancement through the district
(gada). Mezra‘ entries in the register are interspaced among the village entries, preceded
and followed by village entries that were geographically proximate.
