Midyat (Syriac: ܡܕܝܕ Mëḏyaḏ) is an originally Syriac town in Mardin Province of Turkey. The ancient city is the center of a centuries-old Syriac enclave in Southeast-Turkey, widely familiar under its Syriac name Tur Abdin.[citation needed] A cognate of the name Midyat is first encountered in an inscription of the Neo-Assyrian king Ashur-nasir-pal II (883-859 B.C.).[citation needed] This royal text depicts how Assyrian forces conquered the city and its surrounding villages. In its long history, the city of Midyat has remained politically subjected by various rulers - from the Assyrian Empire to the modern Turks.
