Hashteank' (Հաշտեանք) was a historic canton of Armenia, in the province of Sophene. Called Asthianene by the Greeks and Romans, it consisted of what is now the Bingöl plain, near the sources of the Tigris. The district of Khordzean, centered on Kiği, was generally politically subordinate to Hashteank. Hashteank was primarily a rural district, with larger towns at Bingöl and Genç. The Byzantine fortress of Citharizum, which was of great strength and was built by Justinian, was in the province.
