Some high-ranking eristavis were also titled as eristavt-eristavi (ერისთავთ-ერისთავი), i.e. “duke of dukes”, but it is improbable that the holder of the title had any subordinate eristavis. Erismtavari (ერისმთავარი; literally, “chief of the people”) was a similar title chiefly endowed upon the pre- Bagratid rulers of Iberia (Georgia) and later used interchangeably with the “eristavi”. The title gave origin to the surname of a Georgian noble family, Eristavi, who had once served as eristavis of the Aragvi and Ksani gorges under the kings of Georgia. ERISTAVI FAMILIES
