History
ʿUrbish (today called Köklüce) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[7] The Monastery of Mar Abhai, also known as the Monastery of the Ladders, near Urbish was founded sometime after the fifth century.[8] One priest and two deacons were consecrated for the Church of Morī Gewargīs at ʿUrbish in Tišrīn (October) 1584 AD (AG 1895).[9]
The monk-priest Mīkā b. Barṣaum of Urbish copied Bar Hebraeus' Mnārat Qudshē (Arabic: Manārat al-Aqdās; Latin: Liber candelabri sanctuarii) in Tammūz 1579/1580 (AG 1890) at the Monastery of Mar Abhai.[10] He became metropolitan of Karkar with the name Gregorius in 1590/1591.[11] In 1598 (AG 1909), Gregorius Michael son of Barṣawmō of ‘Urbish transcribed a copy of the Chronicle of Michael the Syrian.[12] He restored a copy of the Ktābā d-zalgē (Arabic: Kitāb al-ashiʿa; Latin: Liber radiorum) by Bar Hebraeus at the Dayrā d-Mār Zakkai in Tammūz 1603 (AG 1914) for the priest Pawlōs b. Shemʿōn b. Farīd of Wank.[13] He died in 1618.[14] Michael's uncle the monk-priest Pilate Mukhtār 'Urbishi of Karkar (1584) was also a calligrapher.[15]
The village was populated by Syriac Orthodox Christians until the first decades of the twentieth century.[16]
