The captive woman Nino, whose prayers healed queen Nana, converted king Mirian III of Kartli — tradition sets his baptism around 337. Georgia's church, first under Antioch's wing, grew into the autocephalous catholicate of Mtskheta that this dataset's Georgian line follows.

Kartli baptized; the catholicate of Mtskheta begins the Georgian line.
