Info from Hewsen
This is what Robert H. Hewsen writes about this region:
Paytakaran
Originally a province of Media in the third-second centuries B.C., the land of the Caspians in time became an independent state called Kaspiane in Greek (Arm. Kaspk or Kasbk). Held briefly by the Artaxiad dynasty, Kaspiane was acquired by the Armenians probably in the second century A.D. Under Armenian rule the region, called P'aytakaran after its capital city, appears to have been a royal domain, that is, a part of the extensive lands that we are told the Armenian kings possessed in Azerbaijan. Undoubtedly non-Armenian in ethnic composition, P'aytakaran was lost by Armenia in 387. Thereafter, apparently under the name Balasakan, it became a permanent shahr (province) of Atrpatakan, although Sasanian Balasakan appears to have included certain other coastal areas extending far to the north of the earlier P'aytakaran. Our map differs from that of Eremyan here because he equates P'aytakaran city with the later mercantile center known to the Arabs as Baylakan, which he knew lay north of the Arax River. We have chosen, however, to follow Hakobyan and Harut'yunyan, who, with justification, we believe, see Baylakan and P'aytakaran as two separate localities and who place the latter in the Mughan Plain. Following Harut'yunyan again, we count eleven rather than ten districts in the province.
