The Mamia's Invasion of Jiketi was a expadition that took place in 30–31 January 1533 between the allied Mingrelian and Gurian forces against the Circassian Zygii tribes on the eastern Black Sea coast. The campaign was launched to curb Zygii piracy and coastal raids that threatened Mingrelian and Gurian territories.

Background
[edit]In 1533, Mamia Dadiani and the Eristavi of Guria Mamia I Gurieli, were encouraged by Bagrat III of Imereti to launch a campaign against the piratical Circassian tribe of Zygii, to stop their frequent raids on the the Black Sea littorals of Mingrelia and Guria[2]
War
[edit]The allied Mingrelian and Gurian naval forces landed on 30 January 1533. The first battle despite the fierce Zygii defense was won by the allies, but on the next day, many battle-fatigued Mingrelian nobles defected their lord at the instigation of Tsandia Inal-Ipa,[1][3] an Abkhaz.[4] The allies were routed; Mamia Dadiani was disarmed, stripped naked, and stabbed to death, while Mamia Gurieli was taken prisoner. Malachia I Abashidze, Catholicos of Imereti and Abkhazia, went to the Zygii and ransomed the survivors and bodies of those who died.[1][3][5][6]
