Elias may have been four years old when the deportation took place. He does not remember anything about his parents. Another Armenian has told him that his name was Elias and his birthplace was Paloo. He tells us that he has always been in Tchermook with a Kurd and had a rather hard life as a little shepherd. As he heard that his friends Toros No. 1318 and Garabed No. 1319 had fled, he did the same and reached Arabpounar where our agent found him and sent him to our reception-home in Aleppo.

Left our care: June 1, 1927. Selfsupporting, Beirut.
