History
Salaḥ (today called Barıştepe) is attested in the Life of Mar Ya‘qub (d. 421) by the name of Shilloḥ. The Monastery of Morī Ya‘qūb at Salaḥ was established in the fifth century. The Syriac writer Daniel of Salaḥ flourished in c. 540. In 587, during the Roman–Sasanian War of 572–591, the Roman general Philippicus defeated the Sasanian Empire near the village and deported local people who had hidden in caves. Iyawannis Theodorus Shuqayr, son of deacon Abu al-Faraj of Salaḥ, was metropolitan of Edessa in 1204–1222. Basilius Barsoum of Salaḥ, metropolitan of Hah, was ordained by Patriarch Ignatius bar Wahib (d. 1333). Basilius Yeshu’ Jallo of Salaḥ, metropolitan of Zarjal in 1442–1455, was ordained by Patriarch Hanukh of Tur Abdin.
