Summary
A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ETHNIC AND POLITICAL
HISTORY OF THIS SO-CALLED AGHVANK (ALBANIA)
Part II: Political-Historical Issues in the Context of Ethnic Belonging
Babken H. Harutyunyan
The historical geography of all the Eastern part of the kingdom of Great Armenia is
discussed in the article, it illustrates that Colthene (Konqhnhv) Claudii mentioned by
Ptolemy corresponds to the region of Great Armenias Kaspk() or Caspiene
(Kasphnhv).
The information given by Movses Khorenatsi about the governorships of Utik,
Gardmanatsik and Tsavdeatsik and about the principality of the
Gargaratsik(Gargarians) is elucidated through the source study examination. It is
clearly illustrated that the rule of the Gardmanatsik was to be found on the left bank

), someof the river Kura, the name Utik in Armenian simply means Ovits (


) and the
thing which due to the development of the language became Utik (

name Tsavdek originated from the name of the Southern Armenias region called
 ).
Tsavdek ( 
It was also examined the issue of how many names of 26 tribes of so-called Albanians mentioned by Strabo were preserved. Comprehensive research has shown that
only the name of the Caspians was preserved, and the purely Albanian declared Gar ), Udins ( 
) in those days lived in the Northern Caugarians ( 
casus, outside of the borders of Albania. It is illustrated also that [Ouitioi (
/

) were not found in Armenia and have no connection with the region of
Utik. The Greeks knew it very well; if the Uitis were called [Ouitioi, then Utik was
called [Wthnh. Rich factual material shows that the name of muvkoi has absolutely

), whose old Armenian form Movkan is preserved
nothing to do with Mukan (
in Georgian as a loan.
Through the comparative study of the dates by Curtius Rufus and Arrianus it becomes clear that these so-called Albanians did not participate and could not have taken
part in the famous Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BC. Their name is simply confused with
the Massagets Mazkuts who had invaded the left bank of the river Kura and who had
taken over the Albanian kingdom, whose fellow Mid-Asian tribsmen had participated
indeed in the Battle of Gaugamela. The article shows that the Albanian - Massaget
confusion also was to be found in the works by Plinius Secundus and Solinus.

It is proved that Alarodioi are not Albanians, they belong to the Iranian-speaking
Saspeir tribes, which have taken the way to the georgianisation. It is also shown very
clearly and objectively that only the Achaemenid Persias XIII satrapy was situated in
the territory of Armenia, and the XVIII satrapy occupied the territory of the Eastern
Georgia and the left bank of the river Kura, and included Matiens, Saspeirs and Alarodis.
The basic conclusion of the article is that the name Albania given by Greek and
Roman authors and the name Aghuank given by Armenian historiographs has a purely
Armenian origin and means Country of fertile |eld. And as the left bank of the river
Kura was the continuation of the Armenian fertile |eld, the state formed there was
), which through the development of the
called by the Armenians Alobank (
Armenian language became Aluank (Aghuank), and in the Greek Roman world the
Armenian Alobank was associated with the Celtic toponym of Albania, and thus
was transformed to Albania.
