Domentius II of Georgia explained

Domentius II (Georgian: დომენტი II, Domenti II) was a Georgian churchman and the Catholicos Patriarch of Georgia who presided over the Georgian Orthodox Church from 1595 to 1610.[1] Like his predecessors, Domentius pushed for the efforts to aggrandize the church's land properties and restore the holdings that had earlier been lost to secular noble landlords.[2] Some historians such as Kalistrate Salia consider this Domentius to have been the same person as the earlier Catholicos Domentius I, who might have occupied his office twice, with a significant gap of nearly four decades.[3]
