[edit]

Mamūniyyah (today called Demirbilek) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[4] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that Mamūniyyah with Eškaftah paid 30 dues and was served by one priest.[3] It had a church.[3] In 1914, it was populated by 200 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[6] The village was located in the kaza (district) of Beşiri.[6]
