This confirms a suspicion I had when I saw the reference to Pancalo in your
original list. What is the source for thinking that the Basilian family
are Mamikonian? Or that Pancalo was a Bagratid? These are both new
theories to me.

Incidentally, I concur with STewart's scepticism on Toumanoff's Iberian
theories. The chronology has an artificial structure with too many
overlong reigns which makes is clearly untrustworthy.
