Garmekan or Garamig was an early Sasanian province located in northern Mesopotamia, between the Little Zab and Diyala river. [1] Its capital was Karka d-Beth Slokh. [2] The province is omitted in Shapur I's ( r. 240–270) list of provinces in the Ka'ba-ye Zartosht inscription, which indicates that it was part of Nodshiragan during that period. [2] Garmekan is first attested as a Sasanian province in the Paikuli inscription of Narseh ( r. 271–293) in 293/4, [3] who describes how the aristocracy of Asoristan, Garmekan, and Shahrazur met him at Hayan i Nikatra in order to convince him to become the new king. [4] Before the Council of Seleucia-Ctesiphon in 410, Garmekan had been merged with the province of Nodshiragan, becoming known as Garamig ud Nodardashiragan. [3]
