Gharios (in Arabic غاريوس, in Greek Γαρíος, pronounced ''Ghariyos'') is the name of Saint Gurias the Ascetic of Edessa (Today Rouha also known as Orfa or Sanliourfa in Turkey), martyr of the 4th century; he died in 305 AD. It is also the name of one of the most socially and economically prominent families in Lebanon rooting back their ancestries to the Sheiks Chemor of Kfarhata (former Christian inhabitants of Akoura and rulers of Zgharta). Their religion is Maronite Christian and they are of direct legitimate descendance of the Christian Ghassanids. Their hometown is Chiyah, a predominantly Christian town located in the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut bordered by Haret-Hreik, Ghobeiry, Hadath and Furn-el-chebbak. ==History== According to a historical book named ''The Sheiks Chemors'' written by father Aghnatios Khoury around 1950, the family Gharios of Chiyah is formally called “''Gharios Habbaki Chemor''” due to the village of Beit Habbak in the region of Byblos. This Habbaki family is issued from the prestigious “Chemor” family of Kfarhata-Zgharta. The Chemors of Kfarhata have the title of Sheiks. They were the inhabitants of Akoura in the mountains of Byblos between 1211 and 1633 and the rulers of Zgharta-Zawiya between 1641 and 1747. Their ancestors were the Ghassanids, a Christian tribe that dwelled in the Arabian Peninsula. After being displaced from Yemen because of a natural disaster, they settled in the Houran region of Syria. They have allied themselves to the Byzantines as protectors of the South. Past the Islamic conquest of the region, they sought refuge in Lebanon. Their first stay was in Akoura (Byblos district) then they moved to Kfarhata in 1641. At the beginning of the 18th century, some troubles occurred between the Sheiks Chemor and the Daher family. As a result, a member of the Chemors was compelled to flee the village and take refuge in a small over sighted village in the uphill of Byblos, Beit Habbak. He went there with his four sons and his unique daughter. The latter got married with the son of the concierge although her family did not accept it. Her brothers had killed her husband and were once again obliged to run away from the village. The first one went to the mountainous village of Baskinta and because he was coming from Beit Habbak, he was called “Habbaki” which with time became “''Hobeika''”. The second one, Ferjane Chemor, had the courage to stay in Beit Habbak. Today, his offspring is known as the family “''Ferjane''”. The last two brothers, Farhat and Gharios went to the suburbs of Beirut where water is available and citrus trees are abundant. Farhat Chemor is today survived by a large family in Hadath today known as the family “''Farhat''”. Gharios Chemor went to Chiyah in 1757. His son Antoun took the name of his father as his family name like his uncles. We don’t know if Antoun had brothers or sisters but we are sure that he had two sons: Fares (confirmed on 19 April 1849) and Youssef (confirmed in 1852). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gharios」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
