On looking attentively one can see that Siranoush's eyes have not been tearless for a longtime. She was exiled with her parents, whom she hardly remembers. The Arab, who took her out of the caravan near Belich, fed her little better than a dog. In spite of all the suffering which she had undergone, she was obliged to live there, because she could not flee, being always watched closely. After a period of hard work she was married to an Arab as a second wife. The first wife of her husband was very unkind to Siranoush. She had the habit of dispensing each day a certain amount of insults and blows, which Siranoush received patiently. At length, disgusted with the life, she fled and got into the open country, where, as she walked along, met with some French soldiers, who pitied and brought her to our agent. She was sent per auto to us.

Left our care: August 10, 1926. Relatives, Aleppo.
