           She was exiled with her parents, two brothers and four sisters. One of her brothers was lost near Bozanti, another one was killed in Djihan (Hamidie), her mother died in Islahie. When they reached Bab, her father left Serpouhi under the charge of an Arab in order to save her from further sufferings, while the caravan went further on. When she grew up, her owner sold her to an Arab on credit. The Arab married her, but on the appointed day, he could not pay his debt. Therefore, he was obliged to return back Serpouhi to her former possessor. She had to work hard in the field for him. Once, her sister, the second survivor of the  whole family in Aleppo, gained information about Serpouhi and she succeeded in saving her with our assistance. 


Found her sister in Aleppo and went to live with her.
