Abstract:
In Marneuli municipality (Eastern Georgia) near Goruli an
Armenian inscription of 1615 has been erected where some unknown
people are named. Chief person named in this inscription was Mavkos,
others are proposed to be his sons. Their names and identification are the
case of study of our research. Atabek who was Malik of this region is
among them, also Miriman Baghdad Khan who was the governor (Khan)
of Baghdad, Aslan, Elicum, Mantash, and one more brother of theirs
whose name is badly damaged and is impossible to read. In article we
have shown the fact that those folks listed in Goruli inscription were the
local lords from Mirimanidze noble family, they also held the office of
Melik of Somkhiti (later their descendants were known as Melikishvili
family).
