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.

@MedievalMideast Have you had success finding these locations? I’m not much of a Byzantine/Armenian historian myself but I am a trustee of an Armenian academic library, and I might be able to put you in touch with someone.
