[edit] kurd?
It cant be true, kurds have never populated that area, still today the kurds have arrived there much later on. The isaurians are more likely to be Syriacs/Syrians (Arameans). The Isaurians are thought to be ancestors of the modern Kurds,

[edit] Isauria/Armenia!?!?
The article says that Zeno is an Isuarian from the area now known as Armenia. This statement has two problems: 1) Isauria is Antalya now (formerly Attalia) and Armenia is a bit to the East. 2) Armenia was in existence during the time period being discussed.
Is there something I am missing, for example was Zeno an ethnic Isaurian from Armenia? -AlexiusComnenus
The person who added that comment probably mistook Isauria for Armenia Minor, which was located in Cilicia (futher east, but also along the Mediterranean coast), and did not form until around the time of the Crusades, about six centuries after Zeno's rule. I don't think that the comment is useful though, because "Armenia Minor" is no more enlightening to a modern reader than Isuaria. Shadowstrike 08:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
