Artnerseh's possession covered mainly the upper Khachen. The residence was located in the area of Zar in the Andaberd fortress. Together with his father and brother, John participated in the anti-Arab uprising of 854, as a result of which he was arrested by the Arab commander Bugha al-Turki and sent to exile in Samarra.[2] However he was freed from exile, unlike his brother, whose estates were inherited by Artnerseh.
