The Bolnisi inscriptions (Georgian: ბოლნისის წარწერები, romanized: bolnisis ts'arts'erebi) are the Old Georgian inscriptions written in the Georgian Asomtavruli script on the Bolnisi Sioni Cathedral, a basilica located in Bolnisi, Bolnisi Municipality, Georgia. The inscriptions are dated AD 493/494.[1] The construction of the basilica commenced in AD 478/479.[2] Bolnisi inscription yields the most explicit reference to Peroz I, the Shahanshah ("King of Kings") of the Sasanian Empire.[3] Construction of the basilica might have been connected to the accession of Peroz; their builders being encouraged in their efforts by the imperial construction projects.[4]
