Alplar (Syriac: Ḫarabah Ḥannā)[1][a] is a hamlet in the district of Bismil, Diyarbakır Province in Turkey.
History
Ḫarabah Ḥannā (today called Alplar) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[3] In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 4 households, who paid 39 dues, and did not have a church or a priest.[1] It was located in the district of al-Bahramakiyyah in 1870.[1]
It was located in the kaza (district) of Silvan in the Diyarbekir sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[3] It was populated by 100 Syriacs in 1914, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[4] By 1914, it was situated in the Bafaya nahiyah (commune) of the kaza of Beşiri.[5] No survivors of the Sayfo are attested from this area.[6]
