Claim: Karemlash was home to Denna II and local communities in the 14th century.
Evidence: Karemlash was the seat of the Nestorian patriarch Denha II (1336/7–1381/2) for at least part of his reign. At this period Karemlash had Jacobite and Armenian communities alongside its Nestorian majority, and its village chiefs styled themselves 'emirs'. As a means of recording the passage of time, the 14th century was a century lasting from January 1, 1301, through December 31, 1400.
