Several scholars have argued that Arshak II joined the Persians on their campaign in 359, but Garsoïan considers this "highly improbable" and writes that the battle, "if it has any historical basis whatsoever, must be the distorted memory of an episode in the siege of Nisibis in 350, or even of the campaign of 297," subsequently integrated into oral traditions about Arshak's reign.[31]Garsoïan, Nina G.
