History
In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that Sīdrī (today called Üçyol) had 4 households, who did not pay any dues, and was served by the Church of Yūldaṯ Alohō, but did not have a priest.[4] They adhered to the Syriac Orthodox Church.[9] Amidst the Sayfo, survivors took refuge at the Mor Malke Monastery.[10] The village had a population of 205 in 1960.[2] There were 287 Turoyo-speaking Christians in 39 families in 1966.[2] By 1999, it had been abandoned by the Christians.[11]
