The earliest medieval attestation of the toponym Kurdistan is found in a 12th-century Armenian historical text by Matteos Urhayeci. He described a battle near Amid and Siverek in 1062 as to have taken place in Kurdistan.[3][4] The second record occurs in the prayer from the colophon of an Armenian manuscript of the Gospels, written in 1200.[5][6]
