Throwback: Anfang Juni fand an der Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam die DH Benelux 2025 statt. Mit dabei eine Delegation des CCeH ( @bloebber ) mit zwei Postern und einem Vortrag im Gepäck. Programm und Abstracts gibt es hier: https://2025.dhbenelux.org/schedule/

I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify some places named in an #Armenian text, the history of Ghevond.

The text describes a raid by the Arab governor of Armenia (based at Duin) toward Pontus, passing Karin/Theodosioupolis/Erzerum and Kolonia (identified) as well as Govat'a, Kastiłon/Kastighon, and the district of Marit‘enēs (unidentified), listed in that order (perhaps a clue as to location?). I've tried playing with Pleiades but I'm not finding likely candidates.
