History

Zīzan (today called Dedeler) was inhabited by 21 Assyrian families in 1850, all of whom were adherents of the Church of the East and were served by one priest and one church as part of the diocese of Gāwār according to the English missionary George Percy Badger.[2] The population had increased to 30 families by 1877 when visited by Edward Lewes Cutts.[2] The village was destroyed by the Ottoman Army in 1915 amidst the Sayfo.[6]
