Dargeçit (Arabic: كربوران, Kurdish: Kerboran,[2] Syriac: ܟܦܪܒܘܪܐܢ, romanized: Karburan)[3][a] is a municipality and district of Mardin Province, Turkey.

[10] There was a Church of the East monastery of Mar Shallīṭā, located on the west bank of the Tigris near Karburan (today called Dargeçit), which was last mentioned in the eleventh century.

[11] A community of adherents of the Church of the East is known to have existed at Karburan from the scribe and deacon Masʿūd, who copied a manuscript there in 1429/1430 (AG 1741).

[12] It was recorded by the priest Yuhanna of Basibrina from the Qardash family that Karburan was set on fire by an emir called Bidayn in 1714.

[19] A council held by the Assyrian notables was unable to agree upon a course of action and Mor Antimos Ya’qub was taken to the town hall by the Turkish mudir (village-level government official), where he eventually converted to Islam, believing that this would spare him.

[19] The Assyrians were consequently forced to barricade themselves in seven large building complexes, popularly known as the "seven palaces", after coming under attack from Kurds led by Ömar and Mustafa, the sons of Ali Ramo.

[21] In the aftermath of the Sayfo, the Assyrians of Karburan largely adopted the Kurdish language as their mother tongue, whilst only a few continued to speak Syriac.
