ABSTRACT
In 1940 during archaeological excavations in the district of Armazi, not far from Mtskheta, the old capital of Georgia, two tomb-stelae with inscriptions were found. One has a monolingual Aramaic inscription, while the second one has a bilingual Greek-Aramaic inscription. Such Aramaic inscriptions were studied by George Tsereteli, who established a previously unknown type of Aramaic script, which he called “Armazian” after the place where the stelae were discovered. 1
