the Trans-Caspian and in the upper reaches of the Amu Darya, by Arab and Persian-speaking authors under the name Haital (Tabari, Masudi, Ferdowsi, etc.). Armenian historians are repeatedly mentioned Hephtalites , transcribing their name Idalyan, Idal or Haital. Vardapet has the term Haylan. Ghazar Parpetsi (end of the 5th century) Uses the term Heptal for their designation; Michael of Syria (IX century) - Tedal and Tedaltzi. Markwart also noted the Armenian term katisk - Cadusii, as one of the names of the Hephthalites. It is necessary to point out that Markwart also associates with the White Huns the many times remembered Cadiseni - "Katisk" of Armenian sources. These Cadusii, or Cadiseni, occupied the Persian province of Herat. Initially, Markwart doubted whether to consider them Chionites or Hephthalites, but in his work he considered them Hephthalites. The Syrian writer Isaac of Antioch, writing about 400, says that the qudishaye is near Nusaybin. Nöldeke considered them to be relatives of the Kurds, with whom, in his opinion, they had many similarities. In the surviving fragments of John of Antioch, there is an indication that the Cadusii were counted among the Huns. This evidence suggests that the Cadusii inherited from the White Huns.
