OK Zereshk, thank you very much for suggesting that we should read the ""Aria"" entry of Iranics.  I paste your own EXACT link here ""(look up ""Aria"")""  please everybody, read his own link.  Look up Aria and in there it clearly says: ""ARIA, name of a region in the eastern part of the Persian Empire, several times confused with Ariane in the classic sources""  and it also explains more in two sub-items about this confusion.
