A region of eastern Transcaucasia. It lay essentially within the great triangle of land, lowland in the east but rising to mountains in the west, formed by the junction of the Rivers Kur or Kura and Araxes or Aras. It was thus bounded on the north by Ðervân; on the north west by Ðakkî (Armenian Ðak'e) and Kaxeti in eastern Georgia; on the south by Armenia and Azerbaijan province; and on the southeast by the Caspian coastal province of Mûqân or Mûgân. Arran's situation between these two great rivers explains the name Bayn alnahrayn given to it by Islamic geographers.
