Comment | T. Khaukhchishvili: “Romosianni” – is the publisher’s conjecture, based on the difference of reading the main manuscripts. Ionians and Romans” is Vakhtang’s version, IV. Javakhishvili also has “Ionians”. “Romisianni” is deemed to be a derivative from Romulus, the founder of Rome (T. Khaukhchishvili, Antique World in Georgian Historiography, Chronicler, Collection of Works Dedicated to 100th Anniversary of Iv. Javakhishvili’s Birth, Tbilisi, 1976, pg. 298). |
