Zabdicene


Zabdicene or Bezabde (Armenian: Ծավդեք Tsavdek' or Զավդեք Zavdek'; Greek: Ζαβδιχηνής Zavdichinis; Latin: Zabdiccena; Syriac: Zawdai‎) was a Carduchian principality in southeastern Anatolia, in today's south east Turkey. It was located west of Ake, southwest of Anjewaci and north of Adiabene.

Zabdicene was considered a significant Roman stronghold. In 360 it was subject to an invasion by Shapur II.

The principality declined by the mid-fifth century.
