| | Artashesian dynasty |
 | | Their monarchs had assumed the title of Arshak, and one of them, Tirdat I, had defeated Seleucus II and taken him prisoner. |
 | | The kingdom of Armenia was then bordered on the north by Iberia (Georgia), inhabited by Caucasian tribes dwelling since the remotest antiquity in the valleys of the Kur and its tributaries descending from the Caucasus. |
 | | But according to Khorenatsi, sixty years after Alexander's death in 323, Arshak the Brave ruled over the Parthians in the land of the Kushans, and his grandson, Arshak the Great, conquering the entire East, bestowed the throne of Armenia upon his brother Vagharshak (Valarsaces), who thus became the founder of the Arshakuni dynasty of Armenia. |
