Azerbaijan / Northern Artsakh / Dashkesan / Gardman

Inscription, Armenian, Engraved, Commemoration 1842 y․

Carved on s cross-stone:
This cross of Christ was erected in the year 1842.
The Armenian original published in: Barkhutariants, M. Artsakh. Baku, 1895, p. 302; Lalayan, Yer. Gandzak District. In: “Azgagrakan Handes,” vol. 5, Tiflis, 1899, No. 1, p. 312.
Note: Yer. Lalayan included Barkhutariants’ decipherment of the inscription in his work without any changes. We think there is some error in the decipherment of the year, for the village had already been stripped of its Armenian inhabitants by the mid-18th century.
