History
Ḥidl (today called Kayı) is identified with the ancient town of Andulu, located in the Izalla region. It was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Assyrians. They had adhered to the Church of the East until their conversion to the Syriac Orthodox Church before the 18th century.
In 1914, the village was populated by 100 Assyrians, according to the Assyro-Chaldean delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. There were 20 or 22 Syriac Orthodox families at Ḥidl in 1915. Amidst the Sayfo, the villagers took refuge at Azakh and remained there until the end of the massacres. By 1987, there were no remaining Assyrians.
