Editor's Note
Arzen was an ancient and medieval city on the border zone between Upper Mesopotamia and the Armenian Highlands. In Late Antiquity it was the capital of the district of Arzanene, a Syriac bishopric and a Sasanian Persian border fortress in the Roman–Persian Wars. After briefly becoming the seat of an autonomous emirate in the 9th century, it was devastated in the 10th-century wars between the Byzantine Empire and the Hamdanids; by the 12th century it had been abandoned and ruined, and few traces survive today.
