History
It has been argued by several historians that the name Dzheyrakh associated with Arab military commander Djarakh ibn Abadallah al-Khakami, who was a vicar of the Arab khalif in Armenia and northern Iran between 724 and 730 A.D. According to the notion, Djarakh ibn Abadallah al-Khakami took military company to the Northern Caucasus through the Darial Gorge.
