Batman is primarily the name of the Malabadi Bridge and consequently the Batman River. The center of the Beşiri district was moved from the village of Elmedin, which was destroyed in the flood disaster of 1926, to Kubin. In 1950, Batman separated from the Beşiri district and became a district itself.* Some of the places marked as Armenian settlements in the early 20th century in Batman center and Beşiri should be Chaldean settlements speaking Armenian. Detailed information could not be obtained.

The former center of the district, the town of Elmedîn, was destroyed in 1926 due to the overflow of the Batman River, and the new district center was moved to the village of Qubîn = Tınzê. This location might be the place referred to as Tılzok/Tilzoq in ancient sources, but we are not certain.

(Arapça) Yaqut el-Hamawi, Kitabu Mu'cem el-Buldan [1229'dan önce].
At the beginning of the 20th century, Assyrian/Sunni Kurdish settlement. Currently, partial Sunni Kurdish settlement.
The original Kercos/Gercos, which gives its name to the district, is the present-day Akburç (Kalegercüş) village. The interpretation with the Arabic word Cawz meaning "walnut" is merely a myth. The Syriac gaws, meaning "shelter," takes the form cawş in Arabic (the Arabic word cawşan = cevşen is derived from the same Syriac source).

In Strabo and other Roman sources, the Greek form Kêpha is mentioned. The name, originally Syriac, derives from its famous castle carved from local rock. The historical city has been submerged under a dam lake, and a new settlement has been established on the opposite bank of the Tigris.

Kabilcevz/Kabilcoz [Arabic]
TC Dahiliye Vekaleti, Son Taksimatı Mülkiyede Köylerimizin Adları, Ankara 1928.
At the beginning of the 20th century, partial Armenian settlement. Currently, partial Sunni Arab settlement.
Recorded as a region and principality name since the 7th century, Sasun/Sanasunk includes today's Sason, as well as the regions of Kulp, Talvorik, Hazo (Kozluk), Xuyt (Mutki), and Geliguzan (south of Muş). According to legend, the region derives its name from Sanasar, the son of the Assyrian king. The epic of Sasunlu Tavit, which narrates the adventures of Sanasar's son Mher and grandson Tavit, is one of the most famous works of Armenian folk literature. After two uprisings in 1891 and 1904, the district was razed and in 1925, it was again attacked by state forces, leading to the displacement of a large portion of the population to various parts of Turkey. In 1925, the village of Kabilcoz became the district center. It is said that the Arabs, who are currently the dominant element of the population, are mostly Armenian converts.
user note: Efsaneler bir kenara bırakılırsa, muhtemelen Ermenice versiyon olan Sasun - Sasunk ismi erken dönem Arap tarihçilerin bahsettiği Zozan bölgesinden gelmedir. Arap tarihçilerin bahsettiği Zewzan-Zozan bölgesi içinde bulunması da bu iddiayı kuvvetlendirmektedir. Zozan kelimesi,Kurmanci'de yayla demektir. Bölgenin topografik özellikleri göz önüne alındığında en mantıklı açıklama budur. Sanasar -Sanasu... moreImwastingmylife
