Tmorik (Old Armenian: Տմորիք, romanized: Tmorikʼ) was a region and system of defenses[1] in the south of the Kingdom of Armenia.
It is identified with the Tume or Tumurru mentioned in 13th–7th-century BCE Assyrian cuneiform inscriptions as one of the Nairi lands.
Strabo refers to a land called Taronitis, which has alternatively been read as *Tamonitis and identified with Tmorik.
[4] Robert Hewsen identifies Tmorik as the region surrounding the fortress of Tman on the slopes of Mt.
However, this is disputed by Michał Marciak, who, following Heinrich Hübschmann, identified the fortress of Tmorik/Alki with the town of Elki (modern-day Beytüşşebap, Turkey) on the east bank of the Khabur River (a tributary of the Tigris).
