Paytakaran (Template:Lang-hy) also known as Caspiane by Greco-Roman authors, was the easternmost province of the Kingdom of Armenia.. Today, the area is located in the territory of modern day southeastern Azerbaijan and northeastern Iran. According to Strabo, both Caucasian Albania and Armenia had provinces with the name "Caspiane."
According to Anania Shirakatsi's Ashkharatsuyts ("World Atlas," 7th c. AD), Paytakaran was the 11th among the 15 provinces of Greater Armenia. It consisted of 14 cantons (gavars): Hrakot, Perozh, Vardanakert, Yotnporakyan Bagink, Krekyan, Vovtibagha, Kaghanost, Buros, Pitchanhani, Atshi, Bagavan, Spandaran-perozh, Vormizd-perozh, and Alevan. It was bounded by the Capsian Sea to the east, Araxes river to the north and north-west, Atropatene to the south, and the Armenian province of Vaspurakan to the west.
