Ardis was a small town in the Ottoman Empire 35 miles north-west of Diyarbakir. [1] [2] It laid along the Tigris River which was a good way to travel and trade. [3] Dilay Hatun became the head of the town in 1793 after the previous leader died sometime during the Tripolitanian civil war. [4] The town no longer exists due to urbanization in the 1800s. [5]
