History Maštī (today called Taraklı) was historically inhabited by Syriac Orthodox Christians. In the Syriac Orthodox patriarchal register of dues of 1870, it was recorded that the village had 14 households, who paid 100 dues, and had one priest. There was a church of Morī Barṣawmō and a church of Morī Sobō. In 1914, the village was populated by 100 Syriacs, according to the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. There were 40 Turoyo-speaking Syriac families in 1915. It was located in the kaza of Midyat. Amidst the Sayfo, the Syriacs were slaughtered by Kurds from the Ali Rammo tribe. By 1987, there were no remaining Syriacs.
