==History==
Jandairis is the site of the ancient town of Gindarus or Gindaros (), an ''acropolis'' of Cyrrhestica during the Hellenistic period.〔Cohen, 2006,pp. 170-171〕 The Battle of Mount Gindarus took place near the town in 38 BC. The Parthians under Pacorus I suffered a massive defeat to the Roman armies of Ventidius and Pacorus himself was killed in battle.〔Kreitzer, 1996, p. 44.〕 Under the Romans the city belonged to Antioch.〔 Emperor Theodosius the Great, fortified the city during his reign.〔Vailhé (1909). Cites:''Patrologia Graeca'', XCVII, 517.〕 Traces of the fortified wall still remain on the south and west side of the tell, while the modern village is located at the base.〔Sagona, 1984, p. 323.〕
In the 14th-century, during Mamluk rule, Jandairis was visited by Syrian geographer al-Dimashqi who described it as "a town near Tizin, and in the territory of Jumah. It is a place full of habitations. There are thermal springs here, but it is unknown where the waters rise, or whither they flow."〔le Strange, 1890, p. 462.〕
The 19th-century British writer, William Harrison Ainsworth, visited the village and described it in his magazine as "containing about fifty cottages, and characterized by its artificial mound, or tel, upon which but few traces are now to be met of the castle or citadel (Acropolis in Greek; Arx in Latin) of Cyrrhestica, and described by Strabo as 'a fit receptacle for thieves.'"〔Ainsworth, 1844, p. 35.〕
