History

Ḥidl (today called Kayı) is identified with the ancient town of Andulu, located in the Izalla region. The village was historically inhabited by adherents of the Church of the East. Ignatius Behnam Hadloyo, Syriac Orthodox patriarch of Antioch (r. 1445–1454), was born at Ḥidl. The Church of St. Bassus and Susan at Ḥidl was taken over by the Syriac Orthodox Church as a result of the villagers' conversion prior to 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 Assyrian 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.
