CHORONEME "KARTLI" ACCORDING TO JUANSHERI’S

"THE LIFE OF VAKHTANG GORGASALI"

In the ancient historical sources we find a number of names with different nuances
denoting ‘Georgia’ or its various provinces.
Juansheri’s narration of the Life of Vakhtang Gorgasali tells about the 5th-6th
century Georgia. It features the domestic conditions of the country (the relationships
between kings and eristav-lords (heads of principalities)) as well as the relations between
the neighboring countries. Presumeably Juansheri is 9th century historian;
correspondingly, it is natural that he makes use of the terminology of his epoch as well.
According to Juansheri’s story the choroneme ‘Kartli’ denotes: a) entire Georgia; b)
one of the provinces of Georgia; c) a City.
The word Kartli is uesed to denote Georgia, in general, as well as a Karli province
proper. It is also applied in fixed phrases: yoveli qarTli (entire Kartli), a country of Karli/
countries of Karli, all the velleys of Kartli.
Kartli is a general concept in the titles of kings and eristav-lords: King of Kartli,/ king of
the entire Kartli, erstavs of Kartli/eristavs of entire Kartli.
