History

Mola-Davouda (today called Davutlar) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians.[1] It was located in the kaza (district) of Silvan in the Diyarbekir sanjak in the Diyarbekir vilayet in c. 1900.[1] In 1914, it was populated by 50 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.[2] By 1914, it was situated in the Bafaya nahiyah (commune) of the kaza of Beşiri.[3] No survivors of the Sayfo are attested from this area.[4]
