Toumanoff claimed that the first Georgian branch of the Bagratids may be traced as far back as the 2nd century AD, when they were said to rule over the princedom of Odzrkhe in what is now southern Georgia.
Tumanov menyatakan bahwa cabang Georgia pertama Bagratid dapat ditelusuri sejauh abad ke-2, ketika mereka konon bertakhta atas kepangeranan Odzrkhe di tempat yang sekarang adalah Georgia selatan.
