Lupenians information

The Lupenians (Old Armenian: Լփինք, romanized: Lpʿinkʿ, Latin: Lupenii) or Lpins were a historical tribe that lived in modern-day Republic of Azerbaijan in antiquity. The Lupenians were mentioned in several sources in different languages. They are equated with Pliny's Lupenii, dwelling south of the tribe of Silvii (Chola), just next to the Diduri and near the frontier of Caucasian Albania.^[1] Agathangelos renders their name in Greek as Lifénnioi (Greek: Λιφέννιοι). The Ravenna Cosmography mentions their land as "Patria Lepon" situated next to Iberia and the Caspian Sea.^[2] The Tabula Peutingeriana also mentions the Lupenii.^[3] Vladimir Minorsky proposed later Arabic versions as well.^[4] They were probably related to the Caucasian Albanians.^[5]
