History

In 1852, Edward Robinson noted the village (Seribbin) on his travels in the region.[2]

In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as: "a small stone village, containing about eighty Metawileh, situated on hill-top, with olives and arable cultivation ; springs near, and cisterns and birket."[3]

gollark: The nice thing about advancing technology is that it gets more feasible as time goes on.
gollark: There *are* dedicated "AI accelerators" on modern SoCs, too, maybe that could help.
gollark: And mobile processors tend to improve in efficiency as time goes on, and then the gains get used to just make the phones thinner and run more useless background services or something.
