It is quite possible that the Mihranids at times controlled the left bank of the Kur. Of one of their descendants Hamam (Grigor), son of Adernerseh (a contemporary of Muhammad Afshln, 889-901), Moses, iii, ch. 22 (trans. 278) says that he spread his sway 'on to the other side', i.e. apparently to the left bank of the Kur.
