History
Qarṭmin (today called Yayvantepe) is mentioned in the Life of Samuel, in which it is attested that Samuel of Eshtin came to the village and settled by the spring to the north.{{sfnp|Palmer|1990|p=21}} A church dedicated to the martyr Karpos, bishop of Ṣawro, was built at Qarṭmin by Ṣlivo after his son Simeon was healed through the prayers of Samuel of Eshtin in a miracle attributed to Karpos by Samuel.{{sfnp|Palmer|1990|p=21}} Samuel and Simeon consequently founded the monastery of Qarṭmin, today known as Mor Gabriel Monastery, which is traditionally believed to have been established in AD 396/397.{{sfnp|Palmer|1990|pp=36–37, 191}} In the mid-fifth century, the monks of Qarṭmin fought with the villagers over possession of Simeon's relics, resulting in the death of 480 men.{{sfnmp|1a1=Palmer|1y=1990|1p=90|2a1=Hawkins|2a2=Mundell|2a3=Mango|2y=1973|2p=279}}
