Abstract
In the underground crypt of the Church of St. Stepanos in the village of Nakhichevan, Kars historical region, there are two box-shaped tombstones. On the southern slope of one of them, a 6-line inscription is carved, in which the name Artavazd Kamsarakan is read, and that he was an apahupat patrick and prince of Armenia. The grave inscription also mentions Hrahat, the father of Artavazd, who was the ruler of the Shirak and Arsharunik regions, and his wife Shushan Mamikonyan. The inscription has no date, which makes it difficult to determine the time of the activity of the prince of Armenia Artavazd Kamsarakan. Armenian historiographers do not remember his name. The name of Artavazd Kamsarakan is also missing from the list of the princes of Armenia in the 8th century, where the years 726-732 remain open.
