The Life of Nino (9th or 10th century) describes the statue of Armazi as "a man of bronze standing; attached to his body was a golden suit of chain-armour, on his head a strong helmet; for eyes he had emeralds and beryls, in his hands he held a sabre glittering like lighting, and it turned in his hands".
[2] Conversion of Kartli briefly mentions an age long strife between Armazi and "the God of Chaldeans - Itrushana" and that Armaz was responsible for using the sea as his weapon in their conflict.
In the Iron Age he completely merged with the moon god [de] of Harran and is often referred to in inscriptions as "Harranian Arma".
[6] On the other hand, Giorgi Melikishvili[year needed] proposed the identification of Armazi as a local variant of Arma, the god of the moon in Hittite mythology.
This is in keeping with Ivane Javakhishvili's[year needed] argument of a pre-Christian Georgian moon cult, which fused with the Christian St. George (Tetri Giorgi), Georgia's patron saint since the Middle Ages.
