Acırlı (Kurdish: Derizbîn; Syriac: Derizbin)[1][a] is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Midyat, Mardin Province, Turkey.[3] Its population is 3,069 (2022).[4] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[5][6] The village is populated by Kurds of the Kercoz tribe and by the Mhallami.[7] It is located in the historic region of Bēth Muḥallam in Tur Abdin.[8]
History
Derizbin (today called Acırlı) was previously the site of the monastery of Mar Zbina, mentioned in the Life of Symeon.[9] It has been suggested that it may be identified with the monastery of Zebinus in the Roman province of Mesopotamia, which was restored by Emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565) as per Procopius in On Buildings.[10] The village developed around the monastery and was historically inhabited by Syriac Christians who converted to Islam in c. 1583 to escape persecution.[11] The mosque at Derizbin was constructed on the site of the church.[12]
