He was deported with his parents and one brother as far as Ras-el-Ain. There his father was killed and his mother fell in to the hands of the Kurds. The two brothers remained there being protected by a Kurd shoeing-smith. After a few days a man, named Ahmed-el-Faris, came to the shop to shoe his horse. Seeing the two brothers there he proposed to take one of them with him, but Kapriel would not leave his brother alone. So the man took both of them to Veranshehir and kept them for eleven years in his house. During that time they worked as a farmer for their master. When they were grown up, they remembered their being Armenians and they wanted to return to the Armenian nation. One day Kapriel asked his master to allow them to go to look for their relatives in Aleppo. The man allowed them to go. Both of them travelling afoot reached Hassitshe when they met with our agent, then were sent to us.
