Armenia, along with the principalities of Caucasian Albania and Iberia (modern Georgia) was grouped into one vast province called al-Arminiya, with its capital at Dvin (Arabic Dabil), which was rebuilt by the Arabs and served as the seat of the governor (ostikan) and of an Arab garrison.[9][10] For much of the remaining Umayyad period, Arminiya was usually grouped together with Adharbayjan and the Jazira under a single governor into an ad hoc super-province.
