Azgapet
Azgapet is a leader of a tribe or clan in ancient and medieval Armenia, similar to chieftain. The term originates from the words ''azg'' (Armenian: ազգ), which means extended family or clan, and ''pet'', which means chief. 〔Western Armenian Dictionary & Phrasebook: Armenian-English/English-Armenian. Hippocrene Books; Bilingual edition (May 2006), p. 34.〕 The term ''azgapet'' had been used in addition to other similar terms for tribal collectivities, such as ''tanuter'' (Armenian: տանուտեր) and ''nahapet'' (Armenian: նահապետ). Patriarch Hayk, the legendary and eponymous progenitor of the Armenian people, is sometimes referred to as ''azgapet''.〔Bishop Makar Barkhudarian,. Artsakh. Baku, 1885, p. 215〕 One prominent medieval work where Armenian azgapets were mentioned include The History of the Province of Aghvank by Movses Kaghankatvatsi.〔Movses Kaghankatvatsi (1983). History of Aghuank in original Old-Armenian (Մովսէս Կաղանկատուացի.Պատմութիւն Աղուանից աշխարհի), critical text and introduction by Varag Arrakelian. Yerevan: "Matenadaran" Institute of old manuscripts after Mesrob Mashtots. Armenian SSR Academy of Sciences, 1987〕 The author of the “History..” mentions several dignitaries, including azgapets, who signed the ''Constitution of Aghven'', a 5th-century legal document commissioned by King Vachagan II the Pious of Aghvank. One family with origins in the village of Syghnakh in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic claims descent from azgapet Marut, a chieftain from Varanda Valley and a consignee of the Constitution.〔Yerevan Magazine. Families of Medieval Armenia, Have They Been Lost? Oct. 2011 issue.〕
