Hachdeanq
Hachdeanq was a region and family in Armenia c. 400–800. It is also known as Acilisene in Greek and Latin works and ეკლეცი in Georgian sources. It was a strip of land along the Upper Euphrates or Arsanias roughly corresponding to today's Erzincan Province of Turkey. Its main cities were Երզնկա also known in Byzantine sources as Celtzene and Անի-Կամախ nearby the ancient necropolis of the Arsacid kings of Armenia. The Erznka valley, crossed by the Upper Euphrates was the location of the most important pre-Christian shrine in Armenia, dedicated to the Armenian goddess Anahit. The temple, whose site has not yet been identified, was in a settlement called Erez.
