"ոստիկան" meaning in Old Armenian

See ոստիկան in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Borrowing from Middle Iranian; compare Middle Persian ʾwstykʾn' (ōstīgān, “firm, strong, sure, reliable”) and see there for more. Ačaṙean explains the sense development as ‘reliable, faithful’ → ‘ruler's confidant’ → ‘ruler's officer’ and points to Old Armenian հաւատարիմ (hawatarim, “reliable, faithful”) which is often applied to the king's officers.
