Script of King Argishti I about founding Erebouni: For the God Khaldi, the Lord Argishti, son of Menua, built this temple and this mighty fortress. I proclaimed it Irbouni for the glory of the countries of Biai and for holding the Lului countries in awe. By the greatness of God Khaldi, this is Argishti, son of Menua, the mighty king, the king of the countries of Biai, ruler of the city of Tushpa.
