History

In 1838, during the Ottoman era, Eli Smith noted the population of Mimis as being Druze and "Greek" Christians.[1]

In 1875 Victor Guérin noted: "At nine hours fifteen minutes, I crossed the Wadi Mimas, which leads to the Wadi et-Teim. Beyond, to the north, rises, on a hill, the village of the same name. It is inhabited by Druses and schismatic Greeks. Some ruins on a mound next to this village, on the west side, are called Kharbet Ras A'ly".[2]
