There is no evidence about this number. Most came to Cyprus with the Crusaders who retreated to Cyprus following their defeat in Levant. However, the reported number of Maronites in Levant at that time was approximately 40,000 people, so it is unlikely that the number of people arriving ro Cyprus, be more. The estimated number of Maronites, who, as mentioned lived in 60 small mixed with local population, villages in Cyprus, mainly in Pentadaktylos and Karpas area, is approximately 12 to 13,000 people. Many of these returned to Levant during Venetian rule of Cyprus, due to the heavy taxes and this explains their reduction to approximately 2,000 souls at the beginning of the Ottoman rule of Cyprus. </p><p>The number of Maronites kept declining through the Ottoman rule; 19 Maronite villages were recorded in 1599 by <a href="/wiki/Girolamo_Dandini_(Jesuit)" title="Girolamo Dandini (Jesuit)">Girolamo Dardini</a>, in 1629, Pietro Vespa records that the community of 1500 Maronites is served by 11 priests, in 8 churches; Giovanni Battista da Todi records 800 Maronites, distributed across 10 villages, and served by 12 priests, in 1647, but fourteen years later, in 1661, he counts only eight villages with Maronite populations 125. In 1669, we find 1,000 souls distributed in 10 villages. Dominique Jauna records a total of 1,000 Maronites and Armenians, around 1747. In 1776, the patriarchate of Lebanon lists 500 Maronites. The 1841 Ottoman census of Talaat Effendi gave a figure of 1,400 Maronites, including 100 in the kaza of <a href="/wiki/Morphou" title="Morphou">Morfou</a>, 1,000 in that of <a href="/wiki/Lapithos" title="Lapithos">Lapithos</a>-Cérines, 300 in that of Nicosia. In the 1891 census, out of 209,286 Cypriots 1,131 were Maronites, the figure rose to 1,350 in 1921 and 1,704 in 1931.<sup id="cite_ref-Mirbagheri_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mirbagheri-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Until the <a href="/wiki/Turkish_invasion_of_Cyprus" title="Turkish invasion of Cyprus">Turkish invasion</a> of 1974, the town of <a href="/wiki/Kormakitis" title="Kormakitis">Kormakitis</a> was known as a centre of Maronite culture.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Kormakitis village, was inhabited by approximately 50% of the Maronites of Cyprus.
