Taraklı (Kurdish: Miştê;[1] Syriac: Maštī)[2][a] is a settlement in the district of Dargeçit, Mardin Province in Turkey. It is populated by Kurds of the Erebiyan tribe.[1] It is located near the Tigris in the historic region of Tur Abdin.[4]

History

[edit]

Maštī (today called Taraklı) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[5] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 14 households, who paid 100 dues, and had one priest.[2] There was a church of Morī Barṣawmō and a church of Morī Sobō.[2] In 1914, the village was populated by 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[6] There were 40 Turoyo-speaking Syriac families in 1915.[7] It was located in the kaza of Midyat.[6] Amidst the Sayfo, the Syriacs were slaughtered by Kurds from the Ali Rammo tribe.[8] By 1987, there were no remaining Syriacs.[9]
