Aepa (Russian: Аепа, romanized: Aepa; Ukrainian: Аєпа, romanized: Ayepa) is the name of at least two early 12th-century Cuman (Polovtsi) princes mentioned in Rus' chronicles. The Primary Chronicle (PVL) mentions two men named "Aepa" under the year 6615 (1107–1108; columns 282.25–283.3): During the same month of this year [January 1108], Vladimir [Monomakh], David [Sviatoslavich], and Oleg [Sviatoslavich I of Chernigov] went forth to meet Aepa and his namesake and made peace. On January 12, Vladimir took the daughter of Aepa son of Osen', to be the wife of Prince George, while Oleg took for his son the daughter of Aepa son of Girgen. "Prince George" is understood to be Yuri Dolgorukiy, who thus married a daughter of Aepa son of Osen' (literally "daughter of Aepa, granddaughter of Osen'"). With her, he begot his son Andrey Bogolyubsky. The son of Oleg Sviatoslavich is understood to be Sviatoslav Olgovich, who thus married a daughter of Aepa son of Girgen (literally "daughter of Aepa, granddaughter of Girgen"). In the so-called Testament of Vladimir Monomakh, which is attached to the PVL only in the Laurentian Codex, the name "Aepa" occurs twice more, although it appears the author thought there was only one Aepa and not two: "After Christmas, we were able to make peace with Aepa, and after receiving his daughter in marriage, we proceeded to Smolensk." "Aepa and Bonyak had approached Vÿr' with the intention of capturing it. I advanced to meet them as far as Romnÿ with Oleg and my sons. When the nomads learned of our coming, they fled." The latter event is partially corroborated by the continuation of the PVL in the Hypatian Codex sub anno 6621 (April 1113), although it doesn't mention any "Aepa": 'When the Polovtsi heard of Sviatopolk's death, they gathered and marched on Vyr (a fortress...
