He was exiled with his parents and one sister to Malatia, where his father was separated from them, doubtlessly killed. Kegham was sent further on with his mother and sister as far as Rakka. His mother died on the road. When the caravan was crossing the river Euphrates, he lost his sister too and never saw her again. An Arab of the tribe Harran took him to his tent where he lived eleven years with him working as a shepherd. One day, accompanied with another Arab he came to Tel-Ebiad to buy something for his master. The shop-keeper was an Armenian during the conversation with Kegham he judged him rightly to be an Armenian boy and informed him about our rescue-house. Kegham was persuaded and by our agent was sent from Hassitshe to us.
