Abstract
The references used by the author are from Greek, Byzantine and Arab sources.
The first testimony is that of the Greek historian Xenophon (430-355 B.C.) in his "Anabasis" [or Account of the Retreat of the 10.000 Creek mercenaries of Cyrus the Young through Northern Asia and Armenia].
The second testimony is that of Procopus of Cesarea (Sixth century), a historian of the times of Emperor Justinian. The latter reallotted Armenian territory into new administrative districts and saddled its people: with heavy taxes in order to build new fortifications needed for the defense of his immense empire.
The third source of testimonies is Arab:
Abul-Abbas Ahmad Ibn Jabir al Baladhuri (9th century) wrote "Kitab Futun al Buldan" where he gives an account of the Arab invasions from the earliest ones up till his time. The fourth book records the invasion of Armenia.
Abu Yusuf Ibn Ibrahim al Ansari (8th century) wrote "Kitab al Kharadj" which is a jurist's account of the history of Tax policy and levying by the Arabs.
Abul-Fida Ibn Chaddad (13th century), historian of the Ayoubi Dynasty in Egypt, gives an account of the strained relations between the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicy and Egypt, as well as of the Memeluk invasions.
