History
Tel-Manar (today called Tepeüstü) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had eleven households, who paid thirty dues, and it did not have a church or a priest. In 1914, it was populated by 150 Syriacs, as per the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. There were ten Syriac families in 1915. Amidst the Sayfo, the Syriacs took refuge at Mharkan, where they were then killed by Yusuf Hajo. By 1987, there were no remaining Syriacs.
