Kuji of Colchis

Kuji (Georgian: ქუჯი) (r. 325 BC - 280 BC) was a king and eristavi of Colchis. During his reign his castle of Nokalakevi was built.

Kuji aided Pharnavaz I of Iberia against the tyrannical ruler Azo.

Pharnavaz subsequently deposed and killed Azo and Kuji recognized the authority of him and gave him the throne of Colchis.

According to The Georgian Chronicles:

You are son of the heads of Kartli, and you should reign over me, and your race should be here, and strength you should have, you are our Lord, and I shall be your servant.

შენ ხარ შვილი თავთა მათ ქართლისათა, და შენ გმართებს უფლობა ჩემი აწ ნუ შურობ ხუასტაგსა შენსა, რათა განვამრავლნეთ სპანი; და უკეთუ მოგუეცეს ძლევა, შენ ხარ უფალი ჩუენი და მე ვარ მონა შენი.

Kuji eventually married Parnavaz's sister. This marriage would produce the progeny of Kartam of Colchis.
