ARAS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 320 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARAS , the anc. Araxes, and the Phasis of Xenophon (Turk. and Arab. Ras, Armen. Yerash, Georg. Rashki), a river which rises
south
  of Erzerum, in the Bingeul-dagh, and flows
east
  through the province of Erzerum, across the Pasin
plateau
 , and then through Russian Armenia, passing between
Mount
  Ararat and
Erivan
 , and forming the Russo-Persian frontier. Its course is about 600 m. long; its principal tributary is the Zanga, which flows by
Erivan
  and drains Lake Gokcha or Sevanga. It is a rapid and muddy stream, dangerous to
cross
  when swollen by the melting of the snows in Armenia, but fordable in its
ordinary
  state. It formerly joined the Kura; but in 1897 it changed its lower course, and now runs direct to the Kizil-agach Bay of the Caspian. On an
island
  in its bed stood Artaxata, the
capital
  of Armenia from 18o B.C. to A.D. 50.
