In doing a guide to bilinguals, it would be ignorant not to prepare a seperate page dedicated to the legends and their translation. For the purposes of this, I shall divide legends by language and not ruler for obvious reason. This page should not be a reference to being able to "read" the legend, but I give what it is and its translation. For those purposes one should consult Nercessian's attribution and dating booklet.

ARMENIAN LEGEND

In both issues, the Armenian legend remains the same. That is : "ՀԵԹՈՒՄ ԹԱԳԱՒՈՐ ՀԱՅՈՑ" albeit in some gases there is ligaturinng of the letters Ո and Ր in the word ԹԱԳԱՒՈՐ. Otherwise, the Armenian legend is pretty straight forward, and translates roughly to "Hetoum King of Armeninans."

ARABIC LEGEND

To understand the Arabic legend, we need to break it up between rulers. So, first is Kayqubad. Here you will experience two types of legends.

TYPE 1:

TYPE 2:

Meanwhile, for his succesor it is much more complex. While there is only one "basic" legend, those of Kaykhusraw are dated, and later bear mintname as well. So first, I shall cover this.

Next, I shall list the complete marginal legend seen on all the years and ther translation. Note that some pieces the "and" component may be in a different quadrant on varying specimens or even missing. But before this, I must note that "ﺲﻴﺴﺑ  ﺏﺮﺿ" stands for "Struck in Sis." This is encountered on some half drams, but none are dated. For both issues, the halves are essentially the same.
