Acilisene
Acilisene, known as Ekegheats (Old Armenian: Եկեղեաց, romanized: Ekełeac῾) in Armenian, was a region of the Upper Armenia province historical Armenia. It was a strip of land along the Upper Euphrates or Arsanias roughly corresponding to today's Erzincan Province of Turkey. Its main cities were Erznka (today's Erzincan, Turkey) and Ani-Kamakh (today's Kemah, Turkey) near the ancient necropolis of the Arsacid kings of Armenia. The Erznka valley, crossed by the Upper Euphrates, was the location of the most important pre-Christian shrine in Armenia, dedicated to the Armenian goddess Anahit. The temple, whose site has not yet been identified, was in a settlement called Erez. The region was called Anahtakan ('of Anahit', corresponding to Anaetica or Anaïtis in classical sources) because of its association with the goddess. Under the Arsacid dynasty, it was one of the properties of the house of Gregory the Illuminator (the Gregorids) and was sometimes called Gavar Lusavorchi ('district of the Illuminator').
