Öğündük, İdil

Öğündük (Arabic: مدو; Syriac: ܡܝܕܘܢ, romanized: Midun)[2][a] is a village in the İdil District of Şırnak Province in Turkey.

[8] Midun (today called Öğündük) was probably named after the nearby Roman border fort of Mindon along the frontier with the Sasanian Empire in the Melabas Hills of Tur Abdin.

[10] It was attacked by Bakhti Kurds in 1453 alongside the neighbouring villages of Beth Sbirino, Bēth Isḥaq, and Araban, according to the account of the priest Addai of Basibrina in c. 1500 appended to the Chronography of Bar Hebraeus.

[22] Although the Kurdish attacks were repulsed, the villagers opted to take refuge at nearby Beth Sbirino as Midun's location in the plains left it vulnerable.

[22] A number of villagers were killed as they travelled to Beth Sbirino; consequently, Kurds of the Domanan tribe seized their homes and settled at Midun.
