It was the first capital of Sophene until Arsames I founded the new capital Arshamshat around 230 BCE. The Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes renamed the city into Epiphania.Шаблон:Citation needed Strabo in his Geography, calls it "The royal city of Sophene".[1] It was assigned to the late Roman province of Mesopotamia.[2] It also bore the names Artagigarta, Baras, Basileon Phrourion, and Ingila.[3] Under the name Ingila, it became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[4]

Its site is located at Eğil in Asiatic Turkey.[3][2]
