The Armenian inscriptions provide due opportunity to add the Chronological Chart of the Aghvank Catholicoses with five new names which are Hakobos (1214), Atanas (1279), Stepanos (1511), Hovhannes IX (1618) and Grigor IV (1653). The reign periods of the Catholicoses have also been clarified which makes it possible to follow the change of the location of the Aghvank Throne Seat in various periods.
