History
editKandirib (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]
