Abstract

Dayekut'iwn, a practice of fostering found in early medieval Armenian sources, formed a significant basis of social interaction between families in the historical Caucasus and Iran. This article presents a new and extensive analysis of fostering in the context of early medieval Armenian sources written between the fifth and seventh century, illustrating the broad context in which early medieval Armenian social history can be understood.
