![]() The next section (chapter 10), resembling the first, contains a biographical list of the kat'oghikoi of Caucasian Albania (also known as Aghwank or Aluank). The second section describes political and military events in the 12th century both in Eastern (or Caucasian) Armenia and in the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia on the Mediterranean. This section, which describes the lives and times of the heads of the Armenian Church (kat'oghikoi), is based on earlier Armenian sources, many of which have survived. Part one is a summary of Armenian church and political history from the 4th through the 12th centuries. This lengthy work, which has survived in 65 chapters, is divided thematically into several sections. Kirakos Gandzaketsi's History of the Armenians is a primary source for the study of the Armenian highlands in the 13th century. ![]()
