Golpayegan

According to Ḥamd-Allāh Mostawfi, the town of Golpāyegān was built by the daughter of Bahman, named Samra, also known as Homāy Bente Bahman in Persian.(p. 95) and Qāżi Aḥmad Ḡaffāri (p. 30),

After Parsadan Gorgijanidze was dismissed from his post as prefect (darugheh) of Isfahan, he was appointed as the new eshik-agha (Master of Ceremonies) and given five villages in the confines of Golpayegan as a fief by king (shah) Abbas II (r. 1642-1666).{{sfn|Giunashvili|2016}}{{sfn|Paghava|Turkid|Akopyan|2010|page=22}}
