   Armenia Maior ― Greater Armenia

   Armenia Minor ― Lesser Armenia

   • 23 BCE – 13 BCE, Horace, Odes 2.9:

     Non semper imbres nubibus hispidos
     manant in agros aut mare Caspium
     vexant inaequales procellae
     usque nec Armeniis in oris,
     amice Valgi, stat glacies iners
     mensis per omnis…

     The rain, it rains not every day
     On the soak'd meads; the Caspian main
     Not always feels the unequal sway
     Of storms, nor on Armenia’s plain,
     Dear Valgius, lies the cold dull snow
     Through all the year…

   • c. 77 CE – 79 CE, Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia VI.25:

     Armenia autem Maior incipit a Parihedris montibus, Euphrate amne, ut dictum est, aufertur Cappadociae et, qua discedit Euphrates, Mesopotamiae haut minus claro amne Tigri. utrumque fundit ipsa et initium Mesopotamiae facit inter duos amnes exiturae.

     Greater Armenia, beginning at the mountains known as the Paryadres, is separated, as we have already stated, from Cappadocia by the river Euphrates, and, where that river turns off in its course, from Mesopotamia, by the no less famous river Tigris. Both of these rivers take their rise in Armenia, which also forms the commencement of Mesopotamia, a tract of country which lies between these streams.

   • 5th century AD, Saint Jerome, Latin Vulgate, Genesis 8.4

     requievitque arca mense septimo vicesima septima die mensis super montes Armeniae

     The ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Armenia’s mountains.
