Söğütlü (Arabic: کندیریب, romanized: Kəndērīb;[1] Syriac: ܟܢܕܝܪܝܒ, romanized: Kandirib)[2][a] is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Midyat, Mardin Province, Turkey.[4] Its population is 2,208 (2022).[5] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[6][7] The village is populated by Kurds of the Kercoz and Omerkan tribes and by the Mhallami.[8] It is located in the historic region of Bēth Muḥallam in Tur Abdin.[9]

History

Kandirib (today called Söğütlü) was historically inhabited by Syriac Christians.[8] The calligrapher Daniel of Kandirib is mentioned in the Life of Mar Simeon of the Olives (d. 734).[10] In c. 1583, the Christian population of Bēth Muḥallam, including the village of Kandirib, converted to Islam to escape persecution.[11] From the 1910s onwards, many Mhallamis from the village migrated to Lebanon for economic reasons, while some Mhallami and Kurdish families settled in the village afterwards.[8] The Kurdish families came from Kerboran and neighbouring villages.[8]
