History
Isfes (today called Yarbaşı) is identified with Hiaspis mentioned by the Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus in the 4th century AD along the frontier with the Sasanian Empire.[7] It was noted as the location of the defection of the protector domesticus Antoninus to the Sasanian Empire.[8]
The Syriac Orthodox maphrian Basil Solomon took refuge at Isfes after having fled Mosul in 1514 and remained there until his death in 1518.[9]
An attack by Muhammad Pasha of Rawanduz on Isfes resulted in the death of 80 men, including a priest and a notable, and the enslavement of a number of women and children in early 1834.[10]
Amidst the Sayfo in 1915, the Assyrians of Isfes took refuge at Azakh where they were able to resist attacks from the Ottoman army and Kurds.[11]
The Assyrian population of Isfes began to emigrate to Al-Malikiyah in Syria from 1960 onwards and eventually the last Assyrian family left in 1980.[12]
