Bidaxsh
Bidaxsh (bidakhsh, also spelled Pitiakhsh; in Roman sources Vitaxa), was a title of Iranian origin attested in various languages from the 1st to the 8th-century.[1] It has no identical word in English, but it is similar to a margrave, toparch and marcher lord.[2] The title was prominent in Armenia and Georgia, being used by the military governor of a province, and being the hereditary title of the dynasts of Gugark.[1][3]
