Comment	G. Kavtaradze: “Concerning the issue [of Azon E.K.] “The Lives of the Kings” shows a clear irrelevance with the abovementioned information contained in the “Conversion of Kartli”. For the “The Lives of the Kings” the son of Arian Kartli’s king is Azomacedonianiazon” (g. Kavtaradze, Works of the Institute of History and Ethnology, IX, Iv. Javakhishvili Institute of History and Ethnology, Tbilisi, 2009, pg 41) In the opinion of G. Melikishvili, Arian of “Arian Kartli” can be the result of distortion of Pyrenees (G. Melikishvili, On the Ancient Issue of Georgia, Caucasus and the Near East, Tbilisi, 1965, pg 16)
