[OT] Need help with greek names again!

There was no alaphabet for the armenian language till 5th century AD (or was it 3rd). They were generally bi-lingual using Aramaic/Persian or Greek for writing depending on what sphere of cultural influence they were under.

I really don't think you understand, both Nakharar and Azat refer to nobility or, for the latter, free-men. The Greeks aren't going to invent new words to describe the nuances associated with those words. You can search all you want but you won't find anything.

Exactly. In fact, if anything the Greeks weren't all too concerned about their own terminology when it came to military matters, either. Which is why (military) historians of today often have a hard time understanding historians of back then: the lack of regard for precise terminology.

Well I found some terms from Iranica. It appears greeks called armenian/parthian azat in army as "eleutheroi" or "liberi", and refered to some persian nobles as "protoi", meaning the first ones - it seems to be connected to Nakharar 'first-born'?

PS: I understand what you mean, but I just need some different names for use in my mod
