History
Shīnābād (today called Shahinabad) was inhabited by 30 Church of the East Christian families who had no church or priest in 1862, according to the Russian archimandrite Sophoniah, at which time the village was served by the bishop Mār Gabriel of Ardishai.[5] Prior to the First World War, there were 60 Assyrian houses at Shīnābād, as per the list presented by Agha Petros to the Lausanne Peace Conference in 1922.[3] It was located in the Baranduz District.[2]
