metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: “Ancient Armenian Geography” (or “Ashkharatsuits”, literally — “World Map”) calls Phrygia
  the fifth among all the countries of Universal Asia, which is located between Lycia and
  Paphlagonia. Partly based on “The Geography” by Ptolemy, “Ancient Armenian Geography”
  complements the Greek author with its information. Outlining the borders of Phrygia, “Ashkharatsuits”
  shows the territorial limits that this state reached in the first half of the I millennium
  BC (especially in the 8th–6th centuries). These centuries can be characterized as the “golden
  era” of Phrygia since almost all of western Asia Minor was part of this kingdom, and Phrygia
  reached its apogee during this period. The authors of the Armenian source do not mention
  any historical person and speak exclusively about geography (administrative-territorial divisions,
  urban map orography, hydrography, plains, etc.). All the data of the Armenian text
  have been scrupulously examined and compared/collated with the information of Ptolemy, as
  well as with the information ranging from the Bible and Strabo’s “Geography” to the works of
  the Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus. Only a hermeneutic approach to the issue will
  make it possible to remove all the “brackets” since if the main text of “Ashkharatsuits” was
  written in the 5th century by Khorenatsi, then from a geographical perspective the source was
  supplemented in the 7th century by Shirakatsi. Information about the administrative division
  of Onoratia is also important, as well as its historical and geographical description — all this
  sheds light on the problem of studying both Onoratia and Phrygia. “Ashkharatsuits” traces the
  evolution undergone by Phrygia during its history.
