Karagöl, Dargeçit

The Kurdish name of the village is derived from "Der Yakub".^[9] It begins with the word "dayr" ("monastery" in Aramaic).^[10]

In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that Dayro d-Qubo (today called Karagöl) had twelve households, who paid thirty-eight dues, and did not have a priest.^[11] In 1914, it was inhabited by 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation.^[12] They belonged to the Syriac Orthodox Church.^[6] It was located in the kaza (district) of Midyat.^[13] Amidst the Sayfo, the villagers were escorted to safety at Hah by Agha Hajo of the Kurtak clan.^[14]

95 Turoyo-speaking Christians in 15 families resided at Dayro d-Qubo in 1966.^[5] The village was forcibly evacuated by the Turkish army in 1995 due to the Kurdish–Turkish conflict and its population moved to the nearby village of Beth Kustan.^[15] By 2003, five families had returned to Dayro d-Qubo and had begun building two new houses and restoring the village's church that had been vandalised by Kurds.^[15] In 2013, the village was inhabited by 4 Syriac families.^[16]

The following is a list of the number of Syriac Orthodox families that have inhabited Dayro d-Qubo per year stated.
