History

Ğrāḥiyyah was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians, Chaldean Catholics, and Armenians. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 6 households, who paid 25 dues, and it did not have a church or a priest. In 1914, there were 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. It was located in the kaza of Jazirat Ibn ʿUmar. Amidst the Sayfo, the village was attacked and the Christians were killed by Kurds of the Mamman tribe on 18 June 1915.
