Carcathiocerta (Armenian: Կարկաթիոկերտ, Karkatiokert or Արկաթիակերտ, Arkatiakert; Ancient Greek: Καρκαθιόκερτα, Karkathiokerta) was a city in Armenian Sophene near the Tigris, identified with the modern town of Eğil.
The Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes renamed the city into Epiphania.
[citation needed] Strabo in his Geography, calls it "The royal city of Sophene".
[3] Under the name Ingila, it became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.
