Look at the original text of Primary Chronicle (Повесть временних лет) here, par. 2.1, line 3-4:
...страні на западе * мидия * алвания * арвения * малая и великая кападокия * ...
...countries in the west * midia * albania * arbenia * minor and major capadokia * ...
Now look at the Russian transcription of the Old-Russian original (translated by academician Dmitry Likhachov):
...страны и западные: Mидия, Албания, Армения Малая и Великая, Kaппaдoкия...
...and western countries Midia, Albania, Armenia Minor and Major, Kappadokia...
Isn't it incredible?
