History

Sīldūn (today called Balcılar) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[4] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had four households, who paid fifteen dues, and did not have a church or a priest.[3] It was located in the district of al-Bahramakiyyah.[3] There were 50 Syriacs in 1914, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[6]
