Subeihi or Subayhi (Arabic: الصبيحي‎‎ aṣ-Ṣubayḥī), or the Subeihi Sultanate (Arabic: سلطنة الصبيحي‎‎ Salṭanat aṣ-Ṣubayḥī or Arabic: سلطنة الصبيحة‎‎ Salṭanat aṣ-Ṣubayḥah), was a state in the western Aden Protectorate. It was one of the original "Nine Cantons" that signed protection agreements with Great Britain in the late 19th century. In 1948, it came under the sway of the Sultanate of Lahej and is now part of the Republic of Yemen.[1]
