example to them. From all

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 22:2

monasteries he took with him

a

few pupils to retire into

example for all who obey

not as though He made

a

present of the knowledge

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 22:20

was thus that they lived

a

long time, richly filled by

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 23:1

books and inane traditions of

a

man named Theodore of Mopsuestia

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 24:5

a

saintly and devout man, who

in chains at Ctesiphon in

a

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 27:4

of Christ our God, becoming

a

true spiritual son of the

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 27:4

fathers, was worthy of being

a

close participant in their life

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 28:3

apostolic Acts. We set aside

a

multitude of the acts of

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 28:4

faith and life, but as

an

inspiring example to their spiritual

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 1:2

son of Sasan, who was

a

certain [naxarar] lord from the district

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 1:6

an

army

an

extremely large number of troops

the avenger should derive from

an

undistinguished or a distinguished origin

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:7

derive from an undistinguished or

a

distinguished origin.” He promised as

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:7

distinguished origin.” He promised as

a

reward to confer various kinds

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:8

among the advisors there was

a

senior nahapet of the kingdom

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:8

Arsacid clansman, as though on

an

enemy

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:10

will glorify you by putting

a

crown on your head and

an

honor or, “diadem,” [pativ] of a

an honor or, “diadem,” [pativ] of

a

royal kind and seated him

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:22

Pahlaw. And then he hatched

an

evil scheme. He and his

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:23

He fell to the ground,

a

corpse

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:24

became known, the crowd raised

a

lament. However, the killers by

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:29

In

a

narrow part of the road

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 2:31

had breathed his last, issued

an

order that the clan of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 3:1

On that day he celebrated

a

great feast and carried out

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 3:3

of the Armenians. This was

a

small child named Trdat, who

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 3:7

was nourished and educated by

a

certain count, who was named

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 3:13

Trdat realized that Gregory was

a

member of the Christian faith

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:2

ruler of the Goths sent

a

message with the following import

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:3

come forth to you as

a

single combatant champion from my

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:3

forces here, and you as

an

individual should come against me

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:3

troops. We will go to

a

place of battle

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:5

fight brigade against brigade in

a

normal fashion

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:10

arriving, they happened to enter

a

narrow spot leading to the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:11

they noticed that there was

a

haystack in an ox-stall

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:11

there was a haystack in

an

ox-stall inside the city

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:16

When Licinius observed such

a

demonstration of strength, he was

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:18

in your court, there is

a

man who can deal with

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:20

Then he gave

a

command and they brought Tiridates

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:21

After that they set

an

hour for holding the fight

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:23

the truth about him, and

an

order went out to everyone

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:24

Trdat took

a

brigade of many troops and

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 4:26

very grand gifts. He placed

a

crown on his head exalting

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:3

When they had entered

a

tent there and were eating

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:5

a

stranger and a foreigner, came

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:5

since you, a stranger and

a

foreigner, came and attached yourself

The following morning he gave

an

order and they brought Gregory

a

tomb, which guards the bones

an

ox or donkey since you

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:47

will fit your cheeks into

a

bridle and bit, you who

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:50

like animals. For ’they have

a

mouth and do not speak

torments and I shall place

a

bridle on your cheeks, that

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 6:6

This,” he said, “was

a

great courtesy on my part

bitter life in the world

a

dead image on the cross

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 7:33

made the cross appear as

a

hook, and he made his

a

prediction of the resurrection of

a

sacrifice to your divinity; that

filled it with cinders from

a

furnace. They made it not

a

funnel placed in his bottom

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 9:1

way was Gregory nourished by

this, King Trdat ordered that

an

edict should be promulgated throughout

A

stern command was issued by

individual. Such people would destroy

a

crazed passion, since his extraordinary

propelled him to lust. As

a

result, he specified a time

As a result, he specified

time for the joyous wedding

a

great and disorderly crowd gathered

a

loud voice and stretched out

a

loud voice she began to

a

cry, they loudly wept and

Then there occurred

a

fearfully loud thundering from heaven

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 16:7

terrified the whole throng, and

a

voice which said to them

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 16:9

And so it thundered for

a

long while, until people were

a

single word in what she

An

incredible disaster settled over the

Then it came about that

a

vision from God was visited

a

numberless assemblage of men, jostling

other and sitting as at

a

banquet, to give their attention

they had been struck in

a

just judgment by the rod

But blessed Gregory prayed for

a

brief while, begging from the

a

vision as follows

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:1

was revealed to me as

an

awesome vision. The Godhead condescended

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:2

and there appeared to me

a

divine, wonderful, and ineffable vision

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:5

Suddenly there was

a

great sound, the thunder of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:5

sound, the thunder of lightning,

a

fearful noise like the sound

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:6

of heaven was opened, and

a

man descended in the form

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:11

And there was

an

awesome vision of a man

a

man, tall and fearful, who

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:11

And in his hand was

a

great hammer of gold, and

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:12

swiftly in the likeness of

a

fleet-winged eagle. And he

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:12

was struck as level as

a

plain

city, near the royal palace,

a

circular base of gold, as

of gold, as great as

a

hill, and on it an

a hill, and on it

an

exceedingly tall column of fire

and on top of that

a

capital of cloud, and on

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:16

on top of that again

a

cross of light

And above this I saw

a

canopy of cloud, wonderfully and

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:16

constructed in the form of

a

dome

a

wonderful and divine throne of

And there gushed forth

an

abundant spring, flowing over all

There was made

a

vast bluish sea, and the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:21

And I saw

a

numberless multitude of fiery altars

a

column on each altar, and

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:21

And that place will be

a

temple of God and a

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:44

a temple of God and

a

house of prayer [cf. Matt. 21.13] for the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:44

of all the faithful, and

a

throne of the high priesthood

abundant torrent to flow forth

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 22:5

so, in the twinkling of

an

eye, these residents of the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 22:6

Vagharshapat, also, Gregory had built

a

house of God in the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 22:6

spot shown to him in

an

earlier vision, and where he

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 22:6

and where he had built

a

church to Christ

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 23:6

Gregory left Aghbianos,

an

honest, God-loving man, as

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 23:7

to time, ascended mountains for

a

retreat, making himself an example

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 23:7

for a retreat, making himself

an

example

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 23:10

growth in the spirit and

a

preparation of their hearts with

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 23:12

continuous in illuminating teaching with

a

view to progressive election to

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 24:3

set their own virtue as

a

canon to their pupils, taking

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 24:6

teach the whole world as

an

example to all the obedient

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 24:9

selves, and then they provided

an

example to the disciples; sometimes

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 25:1

Like Moses, who suddenly became

a

teacher of the law to

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 25:2

province and chose for himself

a

spot for repose in desert

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 25:7

him down. He had made

a

rule for himself that all

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 25:8

previously - while he was still

a

young man in the military

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 25:9

was named Vrtanes, who led

a

secular life. However, subsequently he

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 25:10

the mountains, hunger and thirst,

a

vegetarian life, being shut up

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 25:10

shut up without light, wearing

a

hairshirt, and sleeping on the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 26:1

dwelling in the desert in

a

retreat of his own. However

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 26:1

down from the retreat until

an

assembly of many Christians convinced

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 26:4

the district of Daranaghiq, in

a

retreat on the mountain called

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 26:5

give to the king as

a

bishop his son, Aristakes, whom

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 26:9

divine orders, and serving as

an

example of goodness to the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 26:15

earlier ignorance when he was

a

pagan, might not be remembered

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 26:16

the gospel. And thus, leading

a

reformed and sober and religious

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 27:2

divine message they should become

a

perfect nation, glorifying the one

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 27:10

over mankind, calling his kingdom

a

divinely-established kingdom. He became

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 27:11

the days of his life

an

angel appeared from heaven continuously

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 28:12

being in the form of

an

animal

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 28:15

honors he exalted him as

a

confessor of Christ according to

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 28:16

for king Trdat as for

a

dear brother, especially because of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 28:16

God. And furthermore, he made

an

alliance with him, holding their

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 28:16

in the Lord Christ as

an

intermediary so that they might

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 29:1

great emperor Constantine Augustus issued

an

order for all the bishops

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 29:3

the assembly, leaving on earth

a

name for righteousness and establishing

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 29:11

and profited thereby, they were

an

example of good works to

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 30:1

this as is suitable for

a

writer of chronicles, in this

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 30:2

But we looked, as in

a

mirror [cf. I Cor. 13.12], at the divinely imposed

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 30:3

given to other prophets: “Take

a

new and large sheet and

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 30:3

it with the pen of

an

experienced scribe” [Is. 8.1] and elsewhere: “Write

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 30:3

elsewhere: “Write this vision on

a

tablet and establish it in

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 30:9

famous and honored, but for

an

inspiring example to their spiritual

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 31:6

and one perfect will, ineffable,

an

inscrutable unity of the Trinity

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 31:12

from the virgin and became

a

perfect man. He truly became

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 31:12

in the flesh and became

a

true man

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 31:18

perfect God, without being created,

an

eternal flowing forth from the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 31:19

the Son; not created, not

a

servant, not a commandment-doer

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 31:19

created, not a servant, not

a

commandment-doer but a commandment

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 31:19

not a commandment-doer but

a

commandment-giver. For one is

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 1:3

For there is

a

part of our history which

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 1:3

which is the beginning, and

a

part which is the ending

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 1:4

to complete the contents like

a

brick placed in the wall

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 1:4

placed in the wall of

a

building we recorded

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 1:6

As

a

result, sections are arranged in

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 2:1

Gregory’s younger son Aristakes was

a

co-bishop with his father

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 3:6

accordance with his constant custom,

a

mass of thanksgiving for the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 3:10

Now on this occasion

an

event took place when the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 3:10

Vrtanes was going about with

a

few attendants to perform the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 3:14

was inside performing the service,

a

large number of troops on

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 3:22

one Lord Jesus Christ, saying

a

great deal to them

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 3:24

medicine of repentance. Vrtanes stipulated

a

time of atonement for them

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 4:1

In that period

a

great agitation arose in the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 4:1

with great rancour stirred up

a

fight, warring with one another

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 4:8

of the sparapetut’iwn of Armenia,

a

great general with his troops

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 4:9

azgs and did not leave

a

single male child alive. Then

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:1

Gregory. Aristakes, who had been

a

pure celibate from childhood, was

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:2

married, but was childless. For

a

long time, he beseeched God

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:2

him of the blessing of

a

son, a fruit of his

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:2

the blessing of a son,

a

fruit of his own who

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:3

took care to give them

an

education

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:4

senior son, Grigoris, who was

an

attractive, virtuous individual, full of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:8

pregnant after Yusik then still

a

lad entered her on the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:9

In

a

vision Yusik saw as though

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:11

who had forced him as

a

lad to marry. But this

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:13

that he regarded marriage as

an

evil thing, but rather, he

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:17

was no longer tricked as

a

lad might be, but having

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:17

intellect and the wisdom of

an

old man, he wisely tended

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:18

kings. He chose for himself

an

ascetic life and from the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:21

angel appeared to him in

a

vision and note

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:25

For where the foundation of

a

structure is, there the pinnacle

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:28

unmoved in the faith, as

a

rock, and will conquer the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 5:30

made him worthy of such

a

revealed answer. And every day

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 6:1

while he too was still

a

lad. He built and rennovated

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 6:2

supplications and perfect faith. Like

a

heroic warrior he trained and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 6:5

the Mazkutk, the prince of

a

multitude of Honk’ troops. In

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 6:9

of others, how will such

a

huge multitude of troops as

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 6:9

to win their hearts with

a

myriad of goodly words, they

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 6:10

will be unable to mount

a

horse according to the natural

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 6:12

and changed his mind. Taking

a

wild horse, they bound the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:0

The war which resulted from

an

invasion of the brigand king

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:1

and Baghaschs and Egersuans, with

a

multitude of other rabble, a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:1

a multitude of other rabble,

a

countless army of nomadic troops

some notable spot and held

a

review by brigade, banner, and

ordered that each man carry

a

stone, bring it and place

and place it to make

a

mound. However, many stones were

would remain for the future

an

awesome symbol of bygone days

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:8

to save them from such

a

bitter executioner. This they asked

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:9

the entire country for about

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:11

period, he had gone on

a

long journey to the Byzantine

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:12

bravest of the naxarars, organized

a

very large brigade, and fell

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:12

anyone alive, and returned with

a

multitude of captives

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:13

Mazkutk with his main brigade [bun gndawn],

an

inestimable, countless number of troops

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:15

places would serve them as

a

refuge. There was an extremely

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:15

as a refuge. There was

an

extremely fierce battle

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:16

the corpses of the dead.

An

incredible amount of blood coursed

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:16

amount of blood coursed like

a

river, and there was no

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:21

country relaxed in peace for

a

full year. Thus, was vengeance

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:21

None of them survived. Not

a

single one

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:1

Armenia had been calmed for

a

while, Xosrov, king of Armenia

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:5

South of this in

a

reedy area they filled up

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:6

the two areas joined by

a

road, the forests grew tall

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:10

the Bznunik’, to call up

a

larger than usual number of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:12

when Databe arrived, he made

a

plan of unity with the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:13

Suddenly, in

an

unexpected fashion [40,000] Armenian troops were

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:17

royal fish-reservoir located on

a

small river

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:19

destroyed and did not leave

a

single one of them living

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:21

killed him by lapidation as

a

man who would betray his

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:22

Aght’amar. Sparapet Vach’e got into

a

boat, crossed over to the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 8:24

with king Xosrov. He made

a

law that the grandee nobility

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 9:1

who was called the bdeashx,

an

individual who occupied one of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 9:9

However,

a

certain small son of Bakur

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:1

the great bishop of Mcbin,

a

marvellous old man who loved

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:1

named (Yakob) James of Nisibis,

a

man chosen by God, left

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:1

district of Korduk’. He was

a

man full of Christ’s graces

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:4

he had placed his head

a

fountain gushed forth, and he

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:6

When he reached

a

difficult place near the summit

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:6

very tired and slept. And

an

angel of God came and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:9

to have been split from

a

large piece of wood by

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:9

large piece of wood by

an

axe

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:11

to say that he had

a

less significant thing than this

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:15

expectations (for their return) from

a

long journey with good news

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:17

the saving ark of Noah

an

eternal symbol of the punishment

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:17

was visited upon all species,

a

symbol of their fathers’ deeds

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:18

They regarded him as

an

Apostle of Christ, a heavenly

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:18

as an Apostle of Christ,

a

heavenly angel, and surrounded him

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:18

him their shepherd and as

a

man who had spoken with

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:21

had heard that Manachirh was

a

wicked and unfeeling and crookedly

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:24

hurled into the sea from

a

promontory. Having destroyed so many

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:28

This was

a

lofty mountain named Enjak’isar from

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:30

head upon the ground. And

a

fountain gushed forth from which

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:39

the emperor Constantine was wearing

a

hair-cloth underneath his purple

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:39

garments and robe, and that

an

angel was protecting and serving

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 10:42

robe, the emperor was wearing

a

hair-cloth for the love

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 11:1

After this there was

an

even more intense war between

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 11:12

the martyrs. Let us stipulate

an

eternal order throughout our entire

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 11:14

great chief-priest Vrtanes promulgated

a

law throughout the land that

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 11:14

be remembered every year on

a

specific day and he made

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 11:14

specific day and he made

a

canon that the people who

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 11:16

General Vache had

a

son who was a very

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 11:16

had a son who was

a

very little boy, named after

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 11:17

Artawazd was the son of

a

very meritorious individual, and of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 11:17

very meritorious individual, and of

a

very meritorious azg; and furthermore

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 12:13

Though he was but

a

lad, he was robust and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 12:14

a

soul clean and radiant he

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 12:14

things. Rather, he was like

a

brave warrior of Christ, like

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 12:14

brave warrior of Christ, like

a

champion hero who, from his

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 12:15

of the Holy Spirit like

a

sword fixed to his waist

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 12:16

with knowledge with which, like

a

fountain, he irrigated the ears

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 12:20

in years he was but

a

lad, in wisdom he displayed

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 12:21

and reflected happy genius as

a

fragrant flower. For the sake

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 12:26

of his life he waged

a

war of reproach against everyone

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:0

country of Armenia remained without

a

patriarch after the death of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:1

was leaderless, and was like

a

blind person, groping

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:3

frenzy, since they remained without

a

leader

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:7

obligation, as though it were

a

human error, and not in

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:8

faith, as is necessary. Only

a

few who were to some

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:9

able to understand or remember

a

single word, half a word

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:9

remember a single word, half

a

word, or any bit of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:11

nibbled at each other, and

a

man would betray his comrade

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:13

Then one could have seen

a

man, thirsting for the blood

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:13

thirsting for the blood of

a

comrade, drinking it, how people

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:26

were indeed interested in finding

a

new katoghikos not for the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:26

for the sake of Truth,

a

shepherd, leader, or head of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 13:29

As

a

result, they were not chosen

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:1

During this time

a

marvelous man, the aged great

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:2

a

student of the great Gregory

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:12

a

marvelous man who worked very

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:13

walk on the water of

a

river wearing his shoes, without

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:15

to go some distance, like

a

flash of lightning, he was

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:15

lightning, he was there in

an

instant, as if he had

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:18

He wore

a

single garment of fur and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:18

single garment of fur and

a

pair of sandals; he ate

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:18

and did not even use

a

cane

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:21

the great mountain called Tsul,

a

stone’s throw below where the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:22

the great Gregory had baptized

a

multitude of troops

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:24

assembled in one place, held

a

meeting, and took counsel. They

A

certain, prince of the Saharunik

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:25

prince of the Saharunik tohm [zvomn ishxann:] (“

a

certain prince”), Artawan, prince of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:46

Now, as

a

result of so much of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:48

You will become sheep without

a

shepherd, and like a flock

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:48

without a shepherd, and like

a

flock you will be betrayed

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:52

I be the head of

an

azg which the Lord has

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:58

did not heed them. Placing

a

rope around Daniel’s throat, the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:60

A

multitude of people who recognized

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 14:61

should take his body to

a

place which he himself commanded

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 15:7

They all resolved that such

an

individual should be selected from

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 16:1

considered worthy of the katoghikosate

a

certain presbyter named Parhen from

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 16:1

chapel of John the Baptist,

a

man who had earlier constructed

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 16:1

of prayer and supplication as

a

repository for the saints

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 16:4

occupied the patriarchal throne for

a

short while. Although he did

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 16:6

and committed his bones in

an

attractive tomb which they constructed

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 16:6

in the district of Taron,

a

place where Parhen had lived

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 17:1

people unitedly held counsel in

a

popular assembly [ashxarhoren xorhurd] to decide to

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 17:2

tun of Gregory, they designated

a

certain Shahak from the tohm

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 17:9

As

a

result, the Lord God grew

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 17:11

kings of Armenia could find

a

friend among them, only enemies

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 18:1

of Armenia, and they worked

a

myriad of diverse hostile deeds

patiw of the great mardpetutiwn,

a

wicked-hearted, malicious malefactor

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 19:0

how they were killed in

a

blessed place because of their

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 19:2

eyes. They conducted themselves in

a

licentious way, in adultery, and

In the land of Atrpatakan

a

high-ranking individual named Shapuh

two kings, Tiran sought out

a

horse possessing the same color

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:9

letter of accusation against the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:16

an

order from him to find

a

great slaughter of game for

But they took

a

part of the land of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:43

land, and turned it into

a

a

man named Shawasp, a remnant

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:19

of a man named Shawasp,

a

remnant of the Arcrunik azg

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:20

While Hayr was seated in

a

wagon and was travelling on

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:20

began to tell the mardpet

a

fictitious story, saying: “I saw

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:20

fictitious story, saying: “I saw

a

bear as white as the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:21

of the wagon, and mounting

a

steed. Then they entered the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:22

hit the eunuch Hayr with

an

arrow from behind that went

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:23

immediately. For no word of

a

man of God falls unheeded

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:0

him; how he later brought

a

wife named Oghimb, from Byzantium

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:0

priest Mrjiwnik killed her with

a

fatal poison in the Eucharist

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:1

In those times there was

a

beautiful woman named Paranjem who

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:1

who was the daughter of

a

certain Andovk, one of the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:3

about, and her reputation as

a

beauty grew and increased

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:11

The king thus had

a

grudge against the lad Gnel

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:11

plotting treachery against him for

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:13

try to summon Gnel with

a

great oath, treacherously, so that

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:15

found the lad Gnel in

a

nearby place, that is, in

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:16

a

great vow and much deception

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:24

An

order was issued from the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:26

in her husband’s battalion in

a

palanquin

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:31

His natural heights and became

a

brother to us, His unworthy

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:35

your harazat brother and kill

a

righteous man in merciless injustice

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:38

rather, with the behavior of

a

beast, you have begun to

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:43

will end your life with

a

bitter death, in great suffering

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:46

Then the king issued

an

order for everyone in the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:48

corpse weeping and commanded that

a

great mourning be held near

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:53

single Byzantine soldier survived

a

messenger to the wife of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:53

so much, for I am

a

better man than he was

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:54

Tirit sent such

a

message while the mourners were

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:55

Paranjem raised

a

protest, pulling out her hair

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:55

For the one who had

an

eye on me had my

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:60

wife, he plotted this evil,

a

grudge, and this senseless and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:61

circumstances of the case, for

a

while he was quiet and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:62

he was killed, and after

a

goodly number of days had

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:62

deed was committed, Tirit sent

a

message to the king

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:71

country of Byzantium requesting that

a

woman by azg of the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:71

tohm be sent him as

a

wife. Her name was Oghompi

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:72

first wife. Paranjem therefore had

a

grudge against Olympias and sought

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:73

then Paranjem bore the king

a

son whom they named Pap

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:74

robust, they gave him as

a

hostage to the emperor’s court

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:76

giving her poison, she approached

a

certain presbyter of the royal

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:77

He committed

an

unworthy deed, never done before

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:77

unworthy deed, never done before,

an

indelible, unforgettable evil, deserving of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:77

evil, deserving of eternal torments,

a

deed unexampled, unheard of - mixing

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:79

the village whence he came,

a

village named Gomkunk in the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:80

place of Nerses they established

a

certain Chunak as the head

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:83

Chunak was

a

discreet man, never advising or

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 16:0

master; how king Arshak swore

an

oath on the Gospels to

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 16:2

treated well by him, as

a

brother or a son, and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 16:2

him, as a brother or

a

son, and Shapuh gave him

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 16:8

He did such

a

deed suddenly and fearlessly even

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 16:11

As

a

result of that deed Shapuh

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 16:14

Therefore he requested

a

vow from him and intensely

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 16:18

He wanted to create

a

disturbance between Arshak king of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 16:20

that he would not permit

a

single Christian man to live

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 16:22

vowed should be bound with

an

iron chain, sealed with his

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 17:0

Shapuh, king of Iran, initiated

a

persecution against those of the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 17:1

were killed, king Shapuh began

a

great persecution of members of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 17:2

Then he issued

an

order throughout all the places

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 17:2

even bears the name of

a

Christian shall be removed and

a

mission from the king of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 18:10

For Paranjem held

a

grudge against Vardan since it

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 18:10

had treacherously, fraudulently, and with

a

great oath summoned her husband

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 18:11

the king against him. Indeed,

a

force was assembled against Vardan

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 19:3

sparapet Vasak concealed and saved

a

tiny child from that azg

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 19:4

King Arshak ordered that

a

secure fortress be constructed for

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 19:4

in the district of Arsharunik,

a

fortress named Artagers

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:7

his sparapet, Vasak, to assemble

a

King Arshak with

a

multitude of naxarars went through

a

multitude as dense as the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:17

a

foreign land and considered it

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:21

so much so that not

a

as well as receiving such

a

good name

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:31

my daughter in marriage and

a

great tun, such a tun

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:31

tun so that when he

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:35

prospects of going on such

a

long journey, for each of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:42

Then Andovk approached

a

certain one of the seniors

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:43

Andovk gave him

a

huge, inestimable amount of gold

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:43

told him to say, as

an

informer to king Arshak: “Look

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:44

Arshak to summon us to

a

council, and the nobility will

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:57

heard this since he was

a

wise man, he realized in

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:58

of his senior grandees on

a

mission, galloping after the king

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:58

with them the promise of

a

vow of affectionate alliance and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:58

vow of affectionate alliance and

a

reproach that the Armenians return

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 21:1

and united with him through

an

oath of peace

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 21:8

sorrowful distress he sealed such

a

contract, gave it to the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 21:14

the Iranian king escaped on

a

horse and fled

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 22:1

sand on the seashore, with

an

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 22:4

many troops from the land,

a

countless multitude

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 22:14

Now Bagos chanced upon

a

brigade of elephants, and noticed

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 22:16

as for the Iranians, not

a

single one of them survived

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 22:18

an

obstacle for the country of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 23:1

king of Iran, and swore

an

oath that he would be

a

believer in God, but he

After freeing

a

countless, immeasurable host, all who

a

leader for the Iranian king

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 24:3

a

different area and raided Armenia

multitude of men were trampled

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 24:6

a

countless number of tender children

The king escaped by

a

hairsbreadth fleeing on a horse

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 25:5

by a hairsbreadth fleeing on

a

horse, and the Armenians took

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 27:1

a

place called Maxazean

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 31:2

a

guide the notorious Meruzhan of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 31:7

practise he has fallen into

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 45:5

Only Meruzhan Arcruni survived, as

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 47:5

However, only Meruzhan, mounted on

a

tacik horse, fled

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 48:2

Having made

an

entrenchment in a secure place

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 48:2

Having made an entrenchment in

a

secure place, he wanted to

who were assembled there raised

a

clamor, shouted to each other

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 52:0

The Iranian king for

a

time suspended warfare against Arshak

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 52:3

he took heart to send

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 52:3

king of Iran, as suited

a

servant to his lord

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 53:0

summoned the Armenian king Arshak

a

second time; how Arshak went

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 53:3

Now Arshak requested from him

a

reliable vow with an oath

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 53:3

an

oath, so that after that

a

servant, and Arshak recognized that

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:0

of Armenia be put to

a

wicked death

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:2

I made

a

covenant of peace with him

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:3

he broke that oath. Like

a

father to a son, I

a

custom that the Armenian king

I will kill you with

horse by a hairsbreadth

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 2:0

escaped on a horse by

a

hairsbreadth

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 2:4

Iran, Shapuh, barely escaped by

a

hairsbreadth and fled on a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 2:4

a hairsbreadth and fled on

a

horse, though Mushegh and the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 2:11

At that time Mushegh had

a

white horse. So, when Shapuh

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 2:12

He had

a

picture of Mushegh on the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 2:12

the white horse, engraved on

a

cup, and when rejoicing he

Armenian troops filled up with

an

unlimited amount of loot, treasures

the Iranian banak. They kept

a

large share of the loot

loot for their king, Pap,

a

share for those Armenian troops

had remained with king Pap,

a

share for the Byzantine generals

of Armenia, and similarly, and

a

share for all the troops

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 2:15

As

a

result of this matter the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 2:15

king of Armenia, Pap, for

a

long time felt no small

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 3:1

tikin as though she were

a

whore, then he slipped out

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 3:2

located by the Euphrates river.

An

emissary came from king Pap

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 3:2

of Armenia, bearing with him

a

hrovartak which contained the order

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 3:7

in the mardpetut’iwn they put

a

certain man named Dgghak, who

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:1

king of Iran again held

a

muster of all his forces

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:2

He himself remained there with

a

few people but he sent

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:3

king of Armenia, ordered that

a

muster be held at Bagawan

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:4

place by king Pap, digging

a

trench around their banak near

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:7

Urhnayr came forward and requested

a

favor from king Shapuh of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:7

bravest of men, order as

a

favor to me that I

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:7

go with my brigade as

a

champion against the brigade of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:9

Urhnayr, saying: “You have promised

a

lot, but there will be

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:10

a

messenger, and he note: “Be

a

favor. So, look to what

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:14

up onto Npat mountain to

a

secure and safe place. Let

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:18

I remember that Mushegh is

a

friend of king Shapuh of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:21

archbishop Nerses: “Do not be

a

mediator. For as soon as

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:24

But first administer

an

oath to him by your

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:32

against the Iranian troops like

a

fire. The Musheghean brigade was

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:37

begging me, as if I,

a

poor man, can pray to

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:38

he measured the heavens by

a

span and placed the dust

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:56

great and small alike. However,

a

few Iranian braves fled

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:59

Be grateful that you are

a

king and have a crown

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:59

are a king and have

a

crown. I will not kill

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:59

a

king even if I am

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:64

enemies. He released king Urhnayr,

an

adversary of yours whom he

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:66

my peers. Those who wear

a

crown are not my peers

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:66

not lay my hands on

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:67

me, do so. But should

a

king fall into my clutches

to speak ill of Mushegh,

a

brave and honorable man

a

judicious man, who spared foreign

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 5:14

bearing Armenians as though entering

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 5:15

a

little, they would emerge thence

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 5:16

shield-bearing troops, as to

a

fled from that battle, with

a

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 5:19

But this recent war was

a

fiery one

in front, they attacked like

a

tall mountain, or like a

a tall mountain, or like

a

thick, mighty and immovable tower

soon as we routed them

a

bit, they took refuge in

them into the walls of

a

secure city

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 5:21

There the Armenians would rest

a

little, and once again emerge

an

adviser to the Iranian king

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 6:4

And he received from Shapuh

an

extremely large amount of treasure

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 6:7

Iran. Now I have found

a

way to put Pap at

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 6:8

two kings. He quickly sent

an

emissary by horse to the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 6:9

So Shapuh gave him

on that day, there was

an

unbelievably great loss, for the

Maghxaz was also killed as

He also held

a

After this Manuel wrote

a

hrovartak to the Byzantine emperor

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 44:12

revealing that there was not

Though I deported myself boldly,

bad death comes to me

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 44:16

contrary to the rule, as

much the more so in

Just as it is for

he flashed and writhed like

that it was better for

is even less significant than

example I am instructing others

certain great prince as chief

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 12:298

For they had received

a

general command from the court

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 12:299

In

a

mad onslaught they hastened to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 12:300

A

large force was gathered, and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 12:300

Satan appeared among them like

a

general, ceaselessly exhorting them all

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 13:301

He fixed

a

time, six months, and they

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 13:309

shall not be kneaded without

a

veil. Excrement and dung shall

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 13:312

a

period of time up to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 13:312

up to the completion of

a

year; and to everything else

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 1:1

afflictions. But we shall give

a

summary so that we may

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 1:1

you listen, may shed not

a

few tears over the misfortune

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 1:12

You were

a

temple of the Holy Spirit

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 1:12

Spirit; will you now become

an

altar for demons? You had

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 1:18

up of your own accord

a

heavy burden; freed from servitude

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 1:22

For if

a

man had saved you from

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 1:22

me be God. I am

a

jealous God. I shall punish

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:26

true faith, they spared us

a

little; but now because of

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:27

You will have to give

a

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:31

all the troops and sent

a

messenger by horse in haste

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:35

of God’s ordinance. Let not

a

father spare his son, nor

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:35

father spare his son, nor

a

son respect his father’s dignity

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:36

Let

a

wife strive with her husband

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:36

strive with her husband, and

armed and helmeted, girt with

a

sword and shield in hand

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:39

in the fourth month, at

an

important town called Angḷ

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:40

sides they gathered there, forming

an

innumerable multitude

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:41

and the magi arrived with

a

great force in order to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:41

doors of the church on

a

Sunday. He intended to put

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:43

did he give way for

a

moment to the impious ruler

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:43

impious ruler, but he brought

a

great tumult on the army

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:45

from all parts of Armenia

a

crowd of men and women

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:50

that he should abandon such

a

project as this. For even

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 3:53

the land. So, he gave

a

strict order that Christianity should

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 3:53

be silenced and brought to

a

halt

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 3:60

Persia, they made every house

a

church and practiced their religion

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 3:60

everywhere. Each one considered himself

a

shrine, and they reckoned bodily

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 3:68

they would not have allowed

a

single one of us to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 3:70

it is one thing what

a

man hears and another what

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:76

For this land is

a

frontier. Perhaps when they work

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:79

seem good to you. Be

a

little patient and keep your

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:79

them, until I can gather

a

force to bring support. Then

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:83

Now send

a

letter to the court that

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:88

had brought from the treasury

a

mass of wealth and he

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:93

union came and joined them,

a

force of many troops

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 5:105

they all burst into such

a

raging fury that the bowels

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 5:109

was for joining them with

an

oath to remain firm in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 5:111

and three times he repeated

an

inviolable oath on the Holy

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:132

and virtuous task of heroism,

a

divine grace appeared over them

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:138

do this willingly, we have

a

command to build fire-temples

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:140

in bravery. But there was

a

gathering of people of the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:141

them (the Persians) deceitfully for

a

while, so that they might

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:141

God, they held council, seeking

a

way out of the problem

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:143

This is

a

copy of the letter which

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:145

vast dominion they called Armenia

a

great and beloved territory

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:148

us, we will have gained

a

second life and avoided death

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:149

But if you delay even

a

little, the heat of their

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 7:151

whole Senate, anxious to find

a

peaceable solution to the matter

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 7:151

suddenly befell him. This put

a

serious obstruction in the way

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 7:154

the Persian king and contracted

a

firm pact with him that

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 7:156

for God to work through

a

few the business of many

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 7:157

Although they did not have

a

king as leader nor any

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 7:175

sent to Albania under Vardan,

a

small force and not numerous

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:178

was advancing on him with

a

small number of troops, he

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:183

for profitless exploits or with

an

avaricious greed for acquiring transitory

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:187

raised his eyes, roared like

a

lion, and attacked wildly, striking

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:192

the Armenian troops, having won

a

great victory, turned to plunder

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:193

Persians held in Albania. After

a

fierce struggle they set fire

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:197

all these brave exploits not

a

single one of them fell

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:197

blessed man who died like

a

hero in the great battle

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:198

in order to come to

an

understanding with them and make

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:198

understanding with them and make

a

pact that the alliance would

not hesitate to enter into

a

pact with an oath in

enter into a pact with

an

oath in accordance with the

own religion; they also took

a

Christian oath to keep a

a Christian oath to keep

a

firm alliance with them

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:201

peacefully settled in that spot,

a

bearer of sad news arrived

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:205

Of those with him,

a

few have fled to their

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:206

all speed to Armenia, bearing

a

vast booty and immeasurable wealth

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:213

A

few of the group of

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:215

inflict on the apostate. Finally,

a

synod of holy bishops and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:215

women to go barefoot without

a

mount, and many children to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:219

although no one had made

an

agreement with him he had

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:220

they sent him off as

a

messenger to present their case

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:222

body may be separated for

a

while, as can be seen

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:222

for those who have entered

a

covenant in love of God

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 10:230

consider it equal and on

a

par with our Mazdean religion

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 10:234

You never recalled

a

single one of these facts

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 10:236

While we were on

a

distant campaign, before we had

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 10:236

brought any military operation to

a

successful conclusion, you raised war

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 10:239

a

few of them, humoring him

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 10:240

all. Perhaps there may be

an

easy solution to the matter

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 10:248

and spoke with them in

a

friendly way according to his

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:252

this, he requested from them

a

testimony of his sincerity for

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:252

sincerity for Armenia; and with

an

oath he subscribed to a

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:252

an oath he subscribed to

a

covenant in their presence, with

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:261

truth from falsehood; nor from

a

turbulent mind does there come

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:274

nearby hissing and crawling like

a

snake

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:4

which previously were part of

a

man’s undefiled body, are severed

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:5

this is the case for

a

single person, how much more

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:5

how much more so for

a

whole nation

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:6

of in order, though without

a

joyful mind

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:13

if only he could find

a

way to destroy the unity

adopted devil-worship. He became

a

vessel of evil, and Satan

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:22

He took Satan as

a

shield, put him on as

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:22

and became as it were

a

soldier fulfilling his will

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:24

stealthily insinuated himself, and like

a

snake entered the fortified places

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:6

his soldiers, for he had

firm hold on the royal

Whoever fled was regarded as

a

coward in the land and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:16

in the land and suffered

a

merciless death. But he who

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:16

he who advanced bravely acquired

a

reputation for valor and received

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:19

these deeds of valor for

a

mortal commander, how much more

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:20

if I were to attain

a

very advanced age, yet we

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:22

to the fearsome sword of

a

mortal man; for if the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:22

lives in this battle with

a

holy death, let us accept

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:23

deceived the lawless prince like

an

insignificant young child by outwardly

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:29

we put on Christianity like

a

garment, now realizes that as

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:33

My valiant men, this is

a

great thing that God has

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:37

that we were implicated in

an

impious deed, many tears were

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:38

the sword, wishing to inflict

a

bitter death on us, and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:43

Fear is

a

sign of doubt. Long ago

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:45

who needed clothes; he gave

a

horse to the one who

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:45

to the one who lacked

a

incomprehensible and awesome chariot

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:50

and plunged into war for

an

extended period

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:52

A

few days later the Persian

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:53

his camp, dug ditches, erected

a

rampart, surrounded it with a

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:53

a rampart, surrounded it with

a

wooden palisade, and vigilantly fortified

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:53

and vigilantly fortified it like

a

city

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:54

Detaching

a

large force from his army

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:55

chose from the whole army

a

junior noble of the Amatuni

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:55

Amatuni family, Arandzar by name,

a

man full of wisdom and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:57

sound, so that day was

a

festival of great rejoicing for

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:58

them claiming to be on

an

official royal mission; with an

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:58

an official royal mission; with

an

oath he confirmed that they

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:65

Therefore, God accepted him as

a

model, for he saw in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:65

for he saw in him

a

type of the invisible coming

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:67

deliverance from oppression he became

a

mediator between heaven and earth

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:69

in sand. Therefore, God bestowed

a

great name on him and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:74

from earth to heaven in

an

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:75

You have attained

an

even greater fate, for no

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:75

fate, for no longer is

a

chariot sent from heaven for

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:77

great mountain of flesh with

a

stone, quite unfearful of the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:81

The sea and rivers made

a

path before them, contrary to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:82

walls of the city at

a

mere sound collapsed and were

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:88

even higher and gave him

a

name above all names, that

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:91

lords, after rising to such

a

height let us not fall

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:91

earth, but let us make

a

firm stand here on high

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:94

come upon them. Some desire

an

untimely death but do not

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:98

worship and honor is but

a

part of its substance. So

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:101

who took the form of

a

man, but they offer worship

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:107

you would leave them in

a

safe place. But today bishops

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:110

shedding of their blood was

a

cause of boasting for those

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:112

that night; he ended with

a

blessing, saying “Amen

Setting up

an

altar they celebrated the most

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:113

Liturgy. They also put up

a

font, and throughout the night

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:117

of bravery. Choose death over

a

cowardly life

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:124

he strengthened the center like

a

powerful tower or an impregnable

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:124

like a powerful tower or

an

impregnable castle

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 6:133

wild animals. Their melee caused

a

roar like the thundering in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 6:138

Forming

a

solid group, the whole host

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 6:139

the two sides collided with

a

crash, many wounded fell to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 6:143

Therefore, raising

a

shout, he urged on the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 6:145

on one of them in

a

high watchtower as if in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 6:145

high watchtower as if in

a

fortified city. At the sound

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 6:148

be distinguished, and there was

a

frightful press of those who

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 8:173

to conceal them, as such

a

great battle could not be

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 1:1

reached the fortress in which

a

detachment of the Armenian army

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 1:2

they should come down under

a

pact without (the Persians) engaging

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 1:12

were wisely seeking to be

a

means for the prosperity of

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 1:13

Therefore, they addressed

a

complaint to the court and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 1:14

guard because they had addressed

a

complaint to the court. The

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 1:20

Without

a

murmur they endured their food

Every man was

a

church for himself, was himself

church for himself, was himself

priest. Each one’s body was

priest. Each one’s body was

a

holy altar, and their souls

holy altar, and their souls

an

acceptable sacrifice

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 2:35

yet because of their oaths

a

priest, whose name was Arshen

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 2:36

He parleyed with them in

an

appealing and friendly way, indicating

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 2:36

covenant, hoping he might soften

a

little from his terrible cruelty

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 2:40

the inhabitants mercilessly and made

a

bloody carnage. The survivors they

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 2:42

There they found

a

large detachment of royal troops

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 2:44

rushed to attack, and winning

a

decisive victory, broke the strength

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 2:49

with Armenia and confirmed with

a

solemn oath

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 3:52

agreement, later the Huns gathered

a

numerous force and attacked the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 3:54

to Persia, giving the court

a

full and accurate account in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 3:59

Pass: only with difficulty over

a

long time had they been

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 3:63

although the latter had destroyed

a

fire-temple and had greatly

Furthermore,

a

pious priest from the house

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 3:64

Mushe by name, who was

a

prelate in the land of

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 3:64

the Artsrunik, had also destroyed

a

house of fire and inflicted

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 3:67

from them all, he wrote

an

accurate account of everything to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 3:75

of the royal cavalry for

a

time

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:78

any people have gone to

a

distant land,” said the governor

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:86

Therefore, they sent

a

message to the governor of

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:87

the court by royal command

an

appeasing letter and firm guarantee

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:92

his winter palace, he ordered

a

tribunal to be held to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:95

one letter to Albania, likewise

a

letter to Aḷdznik, and a

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:95

a letter to Aḷdznik, and

a

message to the Greek emperor

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:95

to the Greek emperor, and

a

letter to the great general

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:99

Furthermore,

a

noble called Atom from the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:99

whom he had sent on

an

embassy to the Greeks, came

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 4:100

Mushkan Nisalavurt also brought forward

an

accusation against him, indicating with

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 5:110

wrong reasons and enter into

a

false covenant with their friends

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 5:112

For while he was nominally

a

Christian, he thought he could

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 5:116

he lost it all in

a

single year

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:126

the accusation had come to

an

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:127

nobles to be invited to

a

banquet

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:130

up in his finery with

a

numerous entourage, they began to

a

few days you will lose

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:134

the title for himself as

It is

of the prisoners shining like

crack and saw a vision

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 3:58

through a crack and saw

a

vision similar to the previous

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 3:58

except that they were in

a

peaceful sleep

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 3:74

building was filled with light.

A

luminous staircase appeared to him

groups he saw: one was

a

thousand, another thirty-six, another

long time, shedding abundant and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 4:94

He set up

a

font in his own house

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 4:95

In

a

loud voice he cried out

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 4:95

this Baptism be for me

a

washing away of my sins

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 4:95

away of my sins and

a

new rebirth in the Holy

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 4:96

He also placed before them

a

table of food for the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 4:96

for the body, offered them

a

cup of consolation, and joined

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 4:98

same city, and lay on

a

great feast

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 5:101

the table the saints recalled

a

priest, who had been in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 5:104

It was already

a

great thing for me to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 5:107

the banquet had come to

an

end and they had all

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 5:113

had said this, he received

a

corroborating reply from him the

a

herald to those who were

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 5:116

Christ also make me today

a

servant to your glorious company

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 5:118

Because he came to seek

a

single lost sheep, therefore they

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 5:120

wish that I too receive

a

portion with the blessed ones

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 6:128

they were unable to reach

a

decision in time, they unanimously

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 6:137

be involved because he was

a

very close friend of that

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 6:138

removed from the city to

a

distance of twelve Persian leagues

perverted to their religion, but

a

man who was hamakden famous

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 6:147

If we enter into

a

debate with him, as he

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 6:150

It was only

a

minor disgrace for us in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:152

in affairs of state. Bring

a

public suit against him and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:152

Makuran. There cast him into

a

dungeon where he may suffer

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:152

dungeon where he may suffer

a

miserable death

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:153

And bring

a

rapid end to life in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:154

For if they have made

a

disciple of the learned chief

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:158

to magism, as you were

a

teacher thereof for many

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:159

considered in my eyes as

a

blood brother but today as

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:159

blood brother but today as

a

total enemy, do not pity

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:163

as far away again to

an

even more terrible place

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:166

But there was

a

man from Khuzhastan in the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:168

When they reached

a

deserted place, which was completely

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:168

three nobles went off to

a

distance and ordered the executioners

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:170

rocky places, so that not

a

bit of flesh remained on

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 7:171

them and brought them to

a

single spot

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 8:179

with your own eyes how

an

illustrious man whom the king

a

foreign captive I banished him

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 8:179

I banished him to such

a

distant exile that in his

matters in which you are

worthless bead, unless he were

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 8:191

unless he were to become

an

ignorant fool like the leaders

bishop Sahak replied, saying: “Like

learned and well-instructed man

a

stable life

Just as

a

wise and skillful captain, so

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 9:216

how much further is such

a

confused state of affairs from

a

long time, he remained in

a

command from the three nobles

sword and threw his body

year and six months. I

he was positively considered as

a

father to the whole country

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 10:235

now my turn to make

a

request of you: spare your

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 10:235

and do not surrender to

a

painful death in the fashion

a

sickly life and prefers death

complaint against any ordinary man

a

ravager of the land and

slayer of innocent people, a

Come now, moderate

Whichever mortal will have

a

life without sadness? Are they

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 11:259

been subjected to you in

a

bodily sense

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 11:260

why do you question me

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 12:299

do not recognize it as

I beat them

a

in the tribunal girt with

eyes of the body for

While there still remained

a

little strength in his body

He also heard

men who were tormented by

demon we know were not

a

great miracle has occurred today

an

interrogation before the king, that

a

A

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:12

A

four-sided bema made of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:13

There appeared on the bema

a

cube of pure gold, worthy

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:13

with very thin linen of

a

glistening white color

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:14

the cubic covering there was

a

clearly visible sign of the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:15

Suddenly,

a

gentle breeze blew one side

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:15

I saw that there was

an

altar table bejeweled with precious

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:16

table were Communion bread and

a

cluster of grapes according to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:17

beside the holy sacrament appeared

an

olive-tree, flourishing and very

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:20

of the bema I saw

a

tall, square cathedra, icy sea

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:20

in color and covered with

a

thick brown cloth

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:21

the cloth was lifted by

a

gentle breeze, I caught sight

a

large salver on the throne

of the salver there was

a

a

golden globe and a piece

a

piece of parchment, atop which

piece of parchment, atop which

a

few lines had been wonderfully

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:23

though by the hand of

a

skillful calligrapher. Near the center

the effaced lines, I saw

a

line and a half written

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:23

I saw a line and

a

half written in gilded letters

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:31

fade, and I sunk into

a

frightening reverie

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:32

Then, suddenly, the figure of

a

heavenly, luminous man appeared to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:36

thoughts, troubled about not having

a

son? You, who knew well

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:37

which He showed you as

a

great revelation not only before

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:38

parchment, you will leave to

an

infallible warning to the faithful

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:39

of Saint Sahak’s vision from

an

angel of God, explained according

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:43

as the bema appeared like

a

cloud, He who ascended with

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:43

the just with Himself, to

a

place of many dwellings in

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:44

the bema was covered by

a

clean, thin linen cloth, which

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:45

the gentle breeze that opened

a

part of the cloth, take

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:45

the cloth, take it as

a

sign of gentle inspiration by

Upon this was

a

premature and slow death, have

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:6

people with just eyes, as

a

king; he should look with

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:6

listen with justice, as befits

a

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:7

cause of the destruction of

a

land, wants to see with

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:7

one can stand before such

a

king, and serving him is

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:8

a

lord who does not know

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:8

his worth, can hardly be

a

good lord to his servants

Now as for Armenia, such

a

great and excellent land: show

and excellent land: show me

a

man in such a land

a

land who has attained tanuterut’iwn

a

great kingdom are given glory

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:11

as soon as they are

a

little way distant from you

You,

a

Mihran, as well as all

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:12

to hearing that from such

a

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:14

the Armenians who accomplished such

a

great deed, which all of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:16

For if there existed

an

Armenian brigade over which (there

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:18

if the military commander of

a

brigade is bad, the brigade

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:19

that since I was left (

an

orphan) as a boy by

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:19

was left (an orphan) as

a

boy by (the death of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:19

was I in any way

a

participant in what they did

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:20

But when I became

a

conscious person, and became worthy

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:23

flee the land, I had

a

wicked thought—I wanted to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:24

entire world that (Zoroastrianism) is

a

false and filthy deception. After

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:26

For whatever I encounter as

a

Christian, I am happy and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:30

fighting) for we will die

a

noteworthy and good death as

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:0

other in this fashion, suddenly

an

emissary arrived from court, urgently

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:3

stop crying, to sleep on

a

bed, or to eat without

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:3

tears. Whatever he ate had

a

wicked bitterness in his mouth

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:5

After following them through

a

number of lodging places, unable

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:5

that man of God in

a

loud voice mixed with tears

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:10

to speak to him in

a

rough and threatening manner, saying

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:10

rough and threatening manner, saying: “

A

man who has done so

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:11

For if someone flees from

a

great and mighty prince, he

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:11

hide himself; so where can

a

fugitive hide and live if

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:14

apostasy he would die with

a

bad name

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:17

should I now conduct such

a

calamitous and disastrous business at

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:17

glad and pleased to die

a

Christian rather than to live

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:5

Through God’s design,

a

spiritual priest from the Teghac’

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:5

from the (battle)site to

a

secure place, became confident

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:6

to his monastery, brought us

a

small amount of food and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:6

saint’s hands, we were revived

a

bit

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:12

now, hurry and send here

a

strong brigade with a dependable

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:12

here a strong brigade with

a

dependable military commander and bring

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:15

of the wives—which resembled

a

fire blazing in their minds

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:18

Vasak’s) face was illuminated by

a

light the like of which

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:24

and they dispatched (him) with

a

brigade of many select men

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:24

false and fraudulent men on

a

road they did not know

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 78:0

paupers, suddenly Zarmihr Hazarawuxt with

a

multitudinous, enormous force of select

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 78:1

but few naxarars and only

a

few select cavalrymen

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 78:2

go against them with such

a

select multitude, even though they

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 78:2

be unable to arrest such

a

mass of cavalry. No, you

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 78:5

cavalrymen of Armenia saw such

a

multitude of Iranian troops which

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 78:5

the Iranian brigade billowing like

an

ocean—even though they knew

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 78:6

Valiantly taking

a

part of the Iranian brigade

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 78:11

the kat’oghikos Yohan himself had

a

day to quit the city

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 79:1

servants tried to go to

a

secure place on the borders

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 79:1

awhile and rest and recuperate

a

little, to remain hoping for

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 79:5

He encountered there

a

multitude of different people, including

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 79:7

he alone) will flee to

a

foreign country, and be lost

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 79:11

Remaining there for one day,

an

emissary reached (Hazarawuxt) from court

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 79:11

reached (Hazarawuxt) from court, bearing

a

hrovartak which king Peroz had

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 79:11

of the Mihran tohm with

a

brigade there in the land

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:0

Shapuh with the Iranian cavalry,

a

brigade of choice men, as

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:0

the lord of Siwnik’, with

a

brigade drawn from the entire

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:2

they needed. Thus he formed

a

brigade from the many who

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:7

regarding Christianity and also, as

a

learned individual he was informed

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:9

Because I love you as

a

son I am advising you

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:9

am advising you in such

a

way that you will remain

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:11

the two Kamsarakans heard such

a

message from Shapuh, the Iranian

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:12

to the love for such

an

awesome mystery, all the pleasures

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:13

other parasites around you, taking

a

heap of ashes and giving

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:13

pollute as she would. For

a

moment we might enjoy the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:14

women, we will give you

a

sign; test and examine it

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:15

Thus, having sent such

a

message to Hazarawuxt, the two

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 81:1

killed when other Iranians, becoming

a

mob, suffocated them

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 81:2

him went to encamp in

a

nearby village under the authority

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 81:3

Vahan Mamikonean is encamped in

a

village and there are extremely

appointed hour. They were with

a

few men, and were upset

and were upset. They approached

a

village of Karin named Arcat’i

Karin named Arcat’i, and reached

a

torrent which was near a

a torrent which was near

a

village, and they wanted to

bank of the torrent for

a

while, at a place where

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 81:10

torrent for a while, at

a

place where reapers of the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 81:9

the mshak had gone behind

a

haystack to evade his (would

not the avenging God demand (

an

explanation) from us for the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 81:10

lands who dies because of

an

Iranian

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:0

around him, he showed us (

an

example of) his bravery

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:1

thing, while our’s came to

a

good conclusion

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:3

will reduce us to but

a

few, and make us retreat

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:6

were not those worthy of

a

clean soul, the impure (spirit

accompany his troops); rather, in

a

rage, he himself went after

after (Vahan). He encamped in

a

certain spot near where he

go, thinking to hide in

an

unknown area by a branch

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:11

in an unknown area by

a

branch of the river

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:8

willingly, as though he were

a

king set up by God

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:9

they violently let loose with

a

tumultuous downpour of arrows against

and displaying great courage. After

a

few days he died of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:1

coming against them, roaring like

a

wild beast with an enraged

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:1

like a wild beast with

an

enraged heart

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:3

men he had. Then, like

a

lion, he bellowed

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:4

die hoping. To die for

a

blessed vow is the lot

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:6

his dear ones can chase

a

thousand and two put ten

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:13

over himself and said in

a

loud voice: “Let no one

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:17

as though it was merely

a

torrential rain which falls to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:18

his brave oath-keepers, like

a

lion, forcefully plowed through the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:18

whom they mortally pierced with

a

lance through the armpit. With

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:18

lance through the armpit. With

a

frightful sound they rent the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:19

rather with the notch of

a

single arrow I will scatter

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 83:23

unconcernedly as though he were

a

wing of the Iranian force

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 84:3

nothing the life of such

a

man as Gdihon and conquered

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 84:3

hearts of all, destroyed such

a

huge multitude of troops, and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 84:8

witnessed in my own time (

an

instance when) someone with ten

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:0

the district of Basean, to

a

village called Aluar

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:1

Armenia’s general, Vahan Mamikonean, suddenly

an

emissary arrived from the Iranians

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:2

the Aryans, he sank into

a

state of dismayed terror

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:3

He remained speechless for

a

while like a fainting person

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:3

speechless for a while like

a

fainting person, unable to ask

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:4

to how and why such

an

end and destruction should have

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:4

of the destruction of such

a

countless multitude of troops, and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:4

die, and what sort of

a

death was it

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:6

Although for

a

serving-man speaking ill about

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:8

and were unable to see

a

Hepthalite, or hear the name

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:9

their swords. For from such

a

deed he personally and the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:9

the Aryans will receive eternally

a

bad name.’

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:11

So, with

a

huge multitude of Aryans and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:12

to Peroz, saying: ’You have

an

oath with me— sworn, written

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:12

fight with me. We stipulated

a

boundary over which we would

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 85:19

They sent

an

emissary to Hazarawuxt in Iberia

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:0

wicked news arrived, were seeking

an

excuse to get away from

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:1

deeds are not those of

a

man of this period such

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:3

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:11

an

eagle swooping down upon a

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:3

an eagle swooping down upon

a

flock of partridges, Vahan with

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:4

removed such folk and such

a

great and useful land from

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:4

now know even better as

a

brave man) and the comrades

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:4

would regard that (accomplishment) as

a

great consolation for the heavy

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 87:2

on Vagharsh, king Peroz’ brother,

a

benevolent and mild man

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 87:6

have enthusiastically chosen you as

an

agreeable, world-building man, so

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:1

from the Aryan realm. In

a

major, not minor way they

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:2

A

primary example is the great

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:2

The man who holds such

a

land aloof from you is

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:2

land aloof from you is

a

good man whose worth and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:6

I know that they killed

a

countless multitude of our men

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:7

with your rule in such

a

way that half of the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:8

damage (Vahan) inflicted with only

a

few men

of us) and wrought such

a

deed that all who observed

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:12

returning to their homes without

a

care. In just this way

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:13

put to the sword such

a

man, and other distinguished and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:15

today peacefully in your service,

a

great deal of good and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:18

dispatched to Armenia Nixor Vshnaspdat,

a

mild, intelligent and constructive person

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:22

would not think of such

a

thing, since the work which

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:1

I have

a

hrovartak for you from king

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:1

you from king Vagharsh and

a

message to peaceably subdue you

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:2

of this message, he assembled

a

brigade of all the loyal

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:4

affairs of our rebellion—such

a

significant and potentially fatal act

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:4

the Aryans, and with you (

a

member) of the court nobility

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:5

which, if responded to in

a

manner desired by me and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:7

but we shall not worship

an

Iranian

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:8

faith), let no Armenian become

a

mage; do not give station

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:9

that you do not recognize

a

man on the basis of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:10

and affairs will go in

a

contrary way, as indeed happened

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:11

Let him not always recognize

a

man as good or bad

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:16

give us these promises in

a

written and sealed form, call

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 90:3

him from Vahan Mamikonean, with

a

happy heart he rejoiced delightedly

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 90:4

He ordered

a

diner and received them with

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 90:11

Mihr-Vshnasp Cuarshac’i, and wrote

a

letter to Vahan Mamikonean with

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 90:17

affectionately that has caused such

a

dark cloud and sadness to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:0

naxarars and many others, and

an

organized brigade. Having heard of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:0

to him willingly and with

a

joyful heart

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:4

to be careful. Then, with

an

organized brigade, he went to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:7

with Aryan custom and is

a

new thing you have fashioned

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:8

of the Aryans make me

a

servant, and then, without learning

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:14

not remain near me as

a

usual neighbor, nonetheless I have

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:16

fighting against many men with

a

few, causing such great injuries

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:18

been able to resist such

a

countless multitude of fighting folk

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:20

that you were forced as

a

last resort because of Peroz’

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:20

demanded service and labor as

a

god and he thought not

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:20

recompense for that service, as

a

stupid man would conduct himself

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:21

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:26

a

brave man it is better

among men, but rather resembled

a

wild beast

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:1

When He gives us

a

benevolent, experienced and constructive prince

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:3

cause of such goodness for

a

land such as Armenia and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:3

good, and regard you as

a

good thing for ourselves and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:7

and greatness. Having eluded you

a

little, you are silent about

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:10

For them such repute seems (

a

cause for) rejoicing

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:11

However,

a

real man would be shamed

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:12

be destroyed by fighting such

a

countless multitude of troops with

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:12

countless multitude of troops with

a

paltry number of men, we

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:12

were lost and vanished without

a

trace. And you would say

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:15

I will give you

a

sign—test it. Command those

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:16

then withold your assistance for

a

moment, and leave (ownership) of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:17

the salvation or loss of

a

great land, and should be

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 93:0

words from Vahan Mamikonean, with

a

greatly rejoicing heart he said

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 93:2

day by day, and in

a

few days we will rejoice

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 93:4

After rejoicing that day with

a

great dinner, and bidding farewell

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 93:8

from achieving dignity? Now let

a

man who knows how to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 93:11

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 93:14

an

ashen color descended upon the

and as though awakened from

a

nightmare

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 93:17

aid in finding prudence and

a

strong voice. The words of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:1

have done, has yet organized

a

brigade, to the ruination of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:1

court you will have shown

a

great deed of service before

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:3

rejoiced with each other for

a

few days, while he quickly

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:5

in doubt and sought for

a

place to cross, but they

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:5

were barely able to find

a

way out and save themselves

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:6

brave general, Vahan Mamikonean, approached

a

place on the bank of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:7

brigade which crossed over without

a

care. This was a great

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:7

without a care. This was

a

great and clear sign both

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:7

the true faith, it was

a

sign resembling the passage of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:8

ostan Duin, they worthily offered

a

mass of thanksgiving to God

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:11

all the troops. He received

a

good reputation and (the news

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:13

they mercilessly slaughtered him, like

an

animal

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:0

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:11

a

few days, Vahan Mamikonean urgently

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:0

lodging places en route in

a

proper number of days, he

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:1

they quickly and hurriedly set

a

time for him to see

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:3

great palace was filled with

a

huge number of folk

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:5

because of his pride, such

a

countless multitude of good folk

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:6

ruination and that of such

a

multitude lost because of you

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:6

worthy of interrogation, and of

a

wickedly tormented death. However, since

tyranny were excessive and unbefitting

a

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:16

your military commanders, and as

a

result of such meritorious service

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:22

and all-seeing eye examine

a

man and his work, and

in intellection and you have

an

assiduous desire for these matters

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 1:5

stirred to this goal by

a

noble yet moderated passion

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 1:6

deserving of inscription in such

a

monument as this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 1:7

order to leave this as

immortal memorial to you and

of benefiting themselves and leaving

a

memorial to their name in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:6

that succeeded each other without

pause

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:10

been found to undertake such

a

great task and to present

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:10

history of our nation in

a

long and useful work, to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:10

the present - reckoning this as

a

noble tribute to you for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:11

only this. “Is there not

a

book near to me,” as

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:12

I shall begin, though with

an

effort, provided that one of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 4:2

an

origin to the human race

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 4:3

a

shepherd and guide for the

numbers of these proposals with

a

view to attaining the truth

is said to have received

a

command from God’s mouth. But

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 4:13

known to God, offered Him

a

sacrifice, and it was accepted

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 4:20

for there had not passed

a

great number of years that

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 4:23

Methusela for [200] years he lived

a

worthy and pleasing life, as

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 4:24

Lamech after living [188] years begat

a

son and named him Noah

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 4:25

Concerning him his father made

an

antithetical prophecy, saying: “He will

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:47

Cephalion is also

a

witness to these matters, for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:47

royal archives. But we received

a

command from kings to omit

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:50

kings, undertook this task, like

a

certain Arias and many others

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:5

a

barbaric name, attributing to him

A

To give

eye, yet He did not

then how

a

certain Hrudēn bound him with

by my own hand, giving

a

meaning to their irrationality. And

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:14

But know that such

an

undertaking is hateful to us

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:14

of that account, but in

a

separate and special place

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:18

of Biurasp is found in

a

Chaldaean book as the Centaur

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:19

He wished to show everyone

a

way of life in common

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:24

such teaching he resorted to

a

bitter stratagem - feigning severe pains

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:25

And

a

familiar spirit, which practiced this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:25

So therefore, when he sought

a

present from him, he kissed

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:26

or more precisely Biurasp’s becoming

a

dragon, this is what is

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:28

by this, his pursuers rested

a

narrow spot and perished with

a

third of this world, as

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 3:3

a

valiant and prudent man. He

bridling the Macedonians and putting

Therefore he, Smbat, wandered for

a

long time on foot over

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 37:14

and herdsmen until he found

an

opportunity to pass over to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 37:15

And because Smbat was

a

valiant man and the lord

But Artashēs sent

a

message to Argam, prince of

his battle line, swooping like

an

eagle into flocks of partridges

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 46:12

of their lives had made

a

pact with Eruand to kill

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 46:13

a

crown decorated with sapphires, rings

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 47:4

face was cut off by

a

sword for the cause of

a

confidant of Eruand’s, and for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 48:3

Smbat seized him and ordered

a

millstone to be hung around

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 48:3

that he be thrown into

a

whirlpool of the river

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 48:4

a

certain magus who interpreted dreams

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 48:6

a

gift of thanks to a

a

city, which he called after

way: Noble King Artashēs mounted

a

beautiful black horse, and taking

beautiful black horse, and taking

a

strap of red leather with

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 50:11

A

shower of gold rained down

a

marriage and scattering gold coins

valiant man, vainglorious and proud

After this Artashēs went to

a

concubine for Artashēs

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 51:9

of them survived, save only

a

few insignificant and lesser persons

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 52:2

a

small blood mark in his

a

gift for success in battle

someone else was ruling as

a

tyrant over the land of

Therefore as

a

just reward for his sendees

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 53:9

old age he had married

an

Assyrian from near to those

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 53:11

wives, therefore Artashēs made Vroyr,

a

wise and erudite man, hazarapet

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 53:13

Zareh was

a

boastful man, expert in hunting

negligent. When the Georgian king,

a

certain K’ardzam, became aware of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 54:3

Domitian was angered and dispatched

an

army against Artashēs. When this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 54:5

directed his battle line like

a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 60:6

who was an evildoer and

a

murderer - but because of his

not see Jerusalem even from

a

great distance

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 60:8

and Christians, whose bishop was

At that time he sent

a

powerful army to the regions

a

place called Sohund

a

cave, bound in iron chains

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 61:9

say that at his birth

a

misfortune befell him. It was

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 61:9

descendants of Azhdahak had set

a

spell upon him, and therefore

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 61:10

the child Artavazd and put

a

dev in his place

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 62:4

through the air. When Datakē,

a

prince of the Bznunik’, asked

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 62:9

a

young man of the Andzavats’i

a

select man and moderate in

a

Persian friend of his who

a

journey, overwhelmed by northern snow

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:2

spirited and powerful man, short

a

beautiful woman, lived with an

an

ugly man, and that being

a

man of ignoble origin

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:6

a

banquet. When they had become

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:6

merry with wine, Trdat saw

a

woman who was very beautiful

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:7

passionately worked his lust like

an

incontinent and ardent young man

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:9

But Trdat stood up, took

a

vase of flowers as a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:9

a vase of flowers as

a

weapon, and drove the guests

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:10

There one could see

a

new Odysseus slaughtering the suitors

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:2

a

long life of forty-two

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:2

a

Greek maiden at the time

And he was captured by

a

princess who ruled those lands

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:5

a

relative of his. But when

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:11

a

great town; this was where

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:4

in the fables: Vardgēs as

a

child left the province of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:5

Jewish captives, and it became

a

commercial town

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:6

this Vaḷarsh surrounded it with

a

wall and strong ramparts and

Vaḷarsh opposed them with

a

great force of warlike soldiers

a

long distance, he pushed them

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:13

their active men, and as

a

token of his own authority

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:13

a

stele with an inscription in

set up a stele with

an

inscription in Greek so that

a

historian in the days of

Antoninus. At first, he was

a

disciple of the sect of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 66:4

falsify history, for he was

an

eloquent man. He was bold

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 66:4

was bold enough to write

a

letter to Antoninus, and he

an

altar over the tomb so

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 66:7

a

popular festival at the beginning

true account in full detail

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 68:8

Arshavir had three sons and

a

daughter, as I said earlier

And Abgar established between them

a

covenant and treaty that Artashēs

He also translated

a

a

marvelous scholar who in his

a

faithful account

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 76:4

a

tranquil lair

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 77:4

Artashir organized Armenia in

a

splendid fashion and reestablished its

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 77:8

an

edict and completely consolidated his

an

expert horseman, dexterous in the

the use of arms, and

a

willing pupil of other military

pulled out the hoof of

an

ox, whereas he, Trdat with

a

crash

And wishing to drive

a

chariot in the races of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 79:4

that you will again become

an

example for the impudent and

an

army to Mesopotamia and Armenia

But Arshak, coming with

them on quickly and in

an

honorable fashion

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:23

And they returned with

a

letter as follows

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:29

We have also ordered

a

city to be built in

in Armenia to serve as

divine summons. These they immediately

latter confirmed the treaty, sealed

an

edict of amnesty for crimes

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 58:9

provinces, he decided to build

a

city in the province of

a

fertile land, rich in water

a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 59:3

sea with the appearance of

a

the marsh are canes and

a

animals increase, they grow to

a

great size and strength, and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 59:5

the city. Surrounding it with

a

deep ditch, he set the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 59:5

foundations of the wall at

a

great depth; above it he

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 59:8

center of the city on

an

elevated spot, he built numerous

the city with arms and

a

garrison and named it Theodosiopolis

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 60:3

not as if it were

an

art, but he gave as

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 60:8

his disciples. At that time

a

certain Ardzil was king of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 60:13

All of them received

an

honorable welcome from Maximianos, the

So we must endure for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:5

we are able to arrange

a

solution with the Greek emperor

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:8

For if it were before

a

Christian king that we denounced

he is licentious. He is

a

fornicator, yet he is a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:9

a fornicator, yet he is

a

Christian. He is dissolute of

a

So he adopted

Then Vṙam in anger held

of king Vramshapuh came to

an

end, the race of the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 7:1

ruled over it. He undertook

a

terrible and dreadful plan, in

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 7:4

faith, and putting on like

a

strong breast-plate zeal for

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 7:6

the T’etals; the dispatch of

an

enormous multitude of peoples; the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 7:8

were unexpectedly stirred, and in

a

moment of time defeated the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:1

of Persia there took place

a

suppression of all the privileges

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:2

king Peroz sent against him

a

large army of Huns. He

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:3

their assistance. The wind created

an

intense storm of dust around

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:3

with thick darkness at noontime.

A

dreadful slaughter occurred on both

a

massacre. After pursuing the fleeing

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:5

an

opportunity; for news of the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:5

a

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:7

in the east. There was

a

terrible battle. They defeated and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:7

the Persian army, so not

a

single one of them escaped

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:8

all sides. He also made

a

treaty with the Armenians, summoned

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:8

of the Mamikoneans. He received

an

oath of full submission, and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:9

Yard held the office for

a

short time, then died. After

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:11

that time, before this event,

a

certain prince Vahan, prince of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:12

Then the Greek king made

an

oath with the Armenians and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:12

and Constantine. He gave them

an

imperial army in support. When

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:12

the city of Dvin; after

a

siege they destroyed it from

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:13

But suddenly

a

great tumult fell on them

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:13

built near the city, into

a

store-house. They (the Greeks

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:13

fire and burned it. Therefore,

a

great tumult befell them

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:14

and many elephants. There was

a

great battle on the plain

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:14

the elephants. Mihran escaped with

a

few men, and they returned

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:15

Khosrov, came in person with

a

host of fully armed troops

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:17

a

host of locusts; not many

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:18

But the king with

a

few men escaped by the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:20

a

further host of the most

a

lover of peace and promoter

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:1

the grounds that: ’I was

a

father to the whole country

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:1

the whole country and not

a

master, and I cared for

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:3

He built

a

city and named it Veh

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:3

and Kalinikos, and seized in

a

raid the region of Cilicia

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:6

Then after

a

few days he fell asleep

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:7

some fought battles, others gained

a

victory and departed

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:8

in that same year came

a

certain Vardan Vshnasp; but he

of the Huns - and also

a

command from the king to

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:10

Armenia and seized Angł by

a

false oath

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:11

P’ilippos, lord of Siwnike, waged

a

battle at the city and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:12

as I said, and fought

a

great battle at Melitene in

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:13

Kt’ni. In both he won

a

splendid victory. He stayed for

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:14

a

battle in Vanand at the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:15

a

campaign in Shirakawan and was

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:16

were defeated, and then gained

a

victory’. Returning from there he

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:4

happened at that time that

a

certain Vahram Merhewandak, prince of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:6

king through his messengers, and

a

small part of the booty

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:6

plunder of the expedition, as

a

token from these precious things

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:8

Then instead of

a

letter of greeting he ordered

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:8

letter of greeting he ordered

a

letter to be written in

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:8

terms, which he despatched by

a

company of auxiliaries and royal

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:9

as their king. They sealed

an

oath according to their custom

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:9

forces and went off, taking

a

multitude of brave and warlike

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:10

of Persia, Yovhan patrik and

a

Greek army were keeping the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:11

a

little fear enveloped him. Summoning

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:13

a

noble of the house of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:13

Vstam, and Vndoy himself was

a

wise and prudent man valiant

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:14

imprisoned with him. They despatched

a

trusted messenger with very fast

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:16

arrived, like the swoop of

an

eagle. Since Khosrov was a

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:16

an eagle. Since Khosrov was

a

young boy at the time

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 10:18

merciful; and when they take

an

oath they cannot be false

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:0

the senate. Maurice sends Khosrov

an

army in support. Two letters

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:1

fathers and ancestors; send me

an

army in support with which

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:2

Bznunik’ and to Arestawan; and

a

great part of the land

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:2

of Tp’khis. Let us observe

a

pact of peace between us

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:3

the east. He came with

a

large army and seized the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:3

flight and seeks from us

an

army in support, and promises

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:4

to agree, because they are

an

impious nation and altogether deceitful

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:6

P’iłipikos and had him bring

a

favourable response. He received an

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:6

a favourable response. He received

an

oath from him, and gave

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:6

from him, and gave him

a

royal army in support: Yovhan

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:9

and reached Atrpatakan. They encamped

a

little distance from each other

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:10

Then Vahram wrote

a

letter to Musheł and the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:12

for you Armenians who demonstrate

an

unseasonable loyalty, did not that

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:17

Then he wrote again

a

second letter

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:19

armoured elephants, and on them

an

army of armed warriors who

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:20

us. I know you for

a

braggart. You do not have

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:21

on high there will be

a

fearsome crashing and flashing; warriors

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:21

alike. For if God wills,

a

fierce tempest will blow away

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:26

different) directions, phalanx by phalanx,

a

multitude of camels and mules

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:27

the Persian army collected not

a

little of the scattered treasure

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:1

was distant from them by

a

day’s journey, encamped separately with

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:2

there ever have been in

a

royal land someone who was

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:4

escaped and fled. He is

a

brave man and may once

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:5

captured him, but gave him

a

horse and arms and let

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:6

might mean, because he was

a

young lad and immature. Nor

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:7

the same time, he ordered

a

letter to be written, and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:7

’Come promptly,’ he said,

’A

very’ important matter has arisen

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:7

be prepared, because he is

a

valiant man, and perhaps either

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:8

I will have to give

an

account for him to the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:8

the emperor.’ He gave

a

similar command to the door

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:9

So, while Musheł was making

an

accounting and review among his

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:10

said to him: ’Is it

a

greeting of peace?’ The

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:10

The messenger replied: ’It is

a

salutation and peace; and I

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:13

pavilion, he was faced with

an

order not to proceed in

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:13

not to proceed in such

a

great number, but to post

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:13

himself to the king with

a

few men

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:15

king’s presence thus attired.’

A

suspicion fell into his heart

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:16

my ancestors and forefathers as

a

companion to kings; and now

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:20

wishes.’ For he was

a

youth, and the strength of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:23

tent, went outside, and sent

a

leading noble after him. He

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:23

to him salt sealed as

an

oath, and summoned him, saying

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:25

them. Musheł threatened him with

an

oath, that unless he told

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:26

Then, having made him swear

an

oath that he would not

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:28

Then they prepared gifts -

a

large part of the booty

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:28

of their sovereign, crowns and

a

diadem set with emeralds and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:28

set with emeralds and pearls,

a

great quantity of gold and

gifts, they sent them with

a

messenger bringing the news, writing

the news, writing down also

an

accusation against king Khosrov; and

part of the booty as

a

treasure for their king, and

their king, and have written

an

accusation concerning you.’

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:31

about these events and sent

a

very powerful force after them

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:31

them up, they let not

a

single one escape. And word

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:32

received the gifts and sent

a

letter with profound thanks through

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:32

letter with profound thanks through

a

messenger of his. He wrote

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:34

in the Greek sector, and

a

few in the Persian. He

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:34

Persian. He also gave over

a

large part of the land

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 13:1

wives; one of these was

a

very beautiful Christian woman from

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 13:1

the chief wife. She built

a

monastery and a church near

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 13:1

She built a monastery and

a

command, saying: ’Let none of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 13:5

would read the gospel as

an

act of worship. They would

a

bronze container. The Persians called

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 14:3

brought mules for it and

a

royal carriage, took the body

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 14:4

that when they had gone

a

distance of three stades from

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 15:1

of the Greeks, Maurice, ordered

a

letter of accusation to be

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 15:1

and their troops: ’They are

a

perverse and disobedient race, he

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:0

The auditor comes with

a

great treasure to attract the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:4

vindicated. Then king Khosrov ordered

a

letter to be written to

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:4

the emperor; he asked for

an

army in support, and sent

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:5

confirmed this for them by

an

oath: ’You have nothing to

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:5

kings.’ And he swore

an

oath to them in accordance

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:7

the Huns, they then sought

an

oath from the king of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:8

a

few troops and departed: ’Until

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:8

an

order comes for you to

spa to be cured of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 17:1

spa to be cured of

an

illness, near the city of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 17:4

Since they did not find

a

ford, they were intending to

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 17:4

intending to return, when unexpectedly

a

travelling priest encountered them. They

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 17:4

and attacked them. There was

a

dreadful slaughter, but they managed

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 17:6

But Sargis note: ’I am

an

old man and a sinner

Maurice gathers

an

army against the Thracians. He

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 18:0

time they are beaten in

a

great rout. The killing of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 18:1

an

order to assemble all of

a

fierce war over the face

a

messenger bearing news of the

a

great battle. They defeated the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 18:5

Musheł Mamikonean, bound him to

a

very high tree in the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 18:5

the forest, and killed him.

A

great number of Armenian nobles

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 19:1

the Armenian churches fled to

a

foreign land. Many, disregarding the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 20:3

trustworthy messengers he promised with

an

oath to send him back

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 20:5

began to unite, and sought

a

way to extricate themselves from

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 20:8

a

man gigantic in stature and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 20:8

of solid body. He was

a

powerful warrior, who had demonstrated

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 20:9

horse, grasping the branch of

a

tree he would hold it

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 20:11

They released

a

bear against him. Now it

The next time they released

a

bull against him. But he

a

great shout ... and when the

The third time they released

a

lion against him. It happened

a

success from the Lord that

a

short time had passed, not

blessed and select man, full

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:9

Then the Armenian forces sent

a

message to the Tachik troops

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:11

of God for aid and

a

just verdict on themselves and

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:12

They ate

a

small meal to strengthen their

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:16

A

small number of the fugitives

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:18

Ishmaelites, ’Abd al-Malik. As

a

result she received great thanks

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:20

the dignity of curopalates, in

a

royal fashion

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:23

eighty men who fled into

a

church. The Armenians were unable

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:23

forbid that we do such

a

thing to the dwelling place

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:23

God, Who has given such

a

victory to us

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:24

up and expel them. After

a

while, one of the Ishmaelite

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:25

grant us our lives as

a

gift, and take our belongings

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:26

of mercy. You, however, are

a

merciless people, unworthy of mercy

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 9:0

and ordered him to take

a

multitude of soldiers and go

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 9:11

with him as though with

a

living person. He note: “I

a

second time to the land

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 9:15

a

large force, in the eighteenth

Here is

a

description of his deeds. In

a

grudge he held against Curopalate

an

irritant and obstacle to their

emperor sent numerous troops as

an

auxiliary force under the command

a

general. Smbat, uniting his forces

When they had reached

a

certain spot they deployed—front

the unjust order and commanded

a

certain Kasim, who was his

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:7

pretext of recording them in

a

royal military census, giving them

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:11

Now, just as You sent

an

angel to save the three

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:11

a

cemetary for us

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:13

will free you alive. As

a

result, they even made oaths

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:16

the situation resembled that of

a

flock of sheep surrounded by

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:17

and quit the land, requesting

a

city to dwell in from

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:19

The latter immediately dispatched

an

edict summoning Muhammad to return

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:19

and sending as his replacement

a

certain ’Abd al-Aziz, who

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:19

wordly knowledge, as well as

a

narrator of legends and fables

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:20

in his authority, he wrote

an

edict to the Armenian lords

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:20

own land and giving them

a

written oath in accordance with

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:21

them to write anathemas in

a

book. And he ordered that

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:22

an

effect on them and became

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:24

locks, and surrounded it with

a

moat filled with water to

shall rebuild it. I was

twelve-year-old lad then

part of the land of

mighty river, called Botis

end to your kingdom. Do

a

response of this sort: “Could

messenger to Muhammad, saying: “Stay

number corresponding to the number

emperor of the Chinese gave

an

order to attack the Ishmaelite

did survive excepting Muhammad and

a

few men who leaped onto

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 12:0

and then dying. Here follows

an

account of his deeds

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 12:2

the fortress walls, they uncovered

a

large stone in the foundation

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 12:4

Maslama took

a

multitude of troops and crossed

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 12:4

pitched camp close to T’argu,

a

city of the Huns. Now

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 12:5

The latter gathered up

a

host of troops, and all

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 12:8

ordered his troops to kindle

an

enormous fire in the camp

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 12:8

the camp rabble, Maslama cut

a

path through the Caucasus Mountains

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 12:8

clutches of the enemy by

a

hairsbreadth

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:3

This ’Umar wrote

a

letter to the Byzantine emperor

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:5

has often come over me

a

desire to know the teachings

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:5

imaginative religion, and to make

a

profound study of your beliefs

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:7

This provides

a

reason for suspecting that you

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:8

times lost, so that for

a

long time there was nothing

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:8

remaining among them, till at

a

later period some men recomposed

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:12

in the unclean entrails of

a

woman? Why do you adore

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:12

according to the law, as

an

instrument of torture

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:13

riders, mounted, the one on

an

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:13

blasphemy more terrible than considering

a

camel, so why do you

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:2

with stones, those who manifest

a

desire to learn the marvelous

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:7

we are ashamed to profess

a

religion so marvelous as ours

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:8

two men are standing near

a

fire, one of them recognizes

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:8

but the other, driven by

a

spirit of contradiction, says that

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:8

contradiction, says that it is

a

spring of water; then the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:27

of faith than that of

a

dissident or heterodox who, while

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:30

one can base himself on

a

lie, and it is a

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:30

a lie, and it is

a

lie to adopt part of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:30

lie to adopt part of

a

testimony and reject the other

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:34

about the knowledge of God,

an

account of the creation of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:44

yet he announces it in

an

unmistakable manner in [Psalm 136], saying: “By

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:47

not regard your Muhammad as

a

man? Yet, relying on the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:48

that he much rather approaches

a

person who is deprived completely

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:50

did not speak with man

a

single time only, nor through

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:50

single time only, nor through

a

single prophet, as you assume

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:52

to have ordained all by

a

single Prophet, why should He

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:53

God to Moses was only

a

preparation for the instruction of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:53

the instruction of men, not

a

complete instruction, but nevertheless, God

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:55

says): “For in my anger

a

fire is kindled which shall

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:59

tongue, “to render grace” eucharistein,

a

meaning which has no connection

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:60

be forgiven.” [Matt. 12:31]. Can there be

a

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:60

than considering the Holy Spirit

a

person completely ignorant of the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:63

the world shall arrive at

a

most truthful knowledge of God

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:63

idolatry, and shall arrive at

a

certain degree of knowledge under

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:64

has announced to the world

a

fourth period, whether for doctrine

own people, it has been

a

hundred years, more or less

appeared in the midst of

a

single nation speaking a single

of a single nation speaking

a

single language. Yet this religion

so young, and professed by

a

single nation, already presents numerous

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:67

a

few of which have come

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:68

by exterminating those who differ

a

little from your opinions, you

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:68

your opinions, you are committing

a

crime against God

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:69

form one single people speaking

a

single language, and having at

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:69

and having at your head

a

single person, who is at

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:71

but whose faith is only

a

blasphemy, and their baptism only

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:71

blasphemy, and their baptism only

a

desecration. When lapsed manifest their

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:72

far from us and speak

a

tongue other than ours; above

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:73

not been able to acquire

a

closer acquaintance with the traditions

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:74

spread abroad, let me indicate

a

few of them: First our

especially in the case of

a

certain Hajjaj, named by you

by far to undertake among

a

people speaking a single language

undertake among a people speaking

a

single language, a task which

people speaking a single language,

a

task which was indeed achieved

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:76

Nevertheless,

a

few of the works of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:76

make them disappear completely. Such

a

thing as this would have

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:76

to even dare undertaking such

an

audacious enterprise. Secondly, because even

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:83

mixture of the sexes, such

a

person would not be deceiving

to us to proceed from

a

birth so pure, what will

will be (the purity) of

a

divine birth, which proceeds from

divine birth, which proceeds from

a

spontaneous, an ever sufficient light

which proceeds from a spontaneous,

an

ever sufficient light whose splendor

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:87

quality and which nothing dims,

a

ray which is not originated

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:87

the sun, but is of

a

quality so eminent as to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:89

to bow down before Adam,

a

fact unknown to the Holy

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:89

the Holy Scriptures. Adam was

a

man, (and in rendering him

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:91

the Creator, and being now

a

despised creature because of his

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:91

ingratitude, he abandoned himself to

a

life of most profane debauchery

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:91

came to present nothing but

a

pattern of hatred, plunder, murder

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:93

Prophets, His ministers, like by

a

light which shines in the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:96

appearance of the Word in

a

human form: “The Lord your

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:96

your God will raise up

a

prophet from among your brethren

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:97

single prophet, there have appeared

a

great number. Nevertheless, this passage

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:98

I shall cite for you

a

series of passages from the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:98

you, God willing, as by

a

stairway, even to the presence

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:98

and note: “But I am

a

worm, and no man; scorned

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:105

another, or your advantages to

an

alien people

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:107

from receiving yet another, by

a

stranger, in spite of his

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:107

your encampments, O Israel.” [Numbers 24:5]. And

a

little further on (he adds

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:107

little further on (he adds:) “

A

scepter shall come forth from

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:108

behold him, but not nigh:

a

star shall come forth out

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:108

forth out of Jacob, and

a

scepter shall rise out of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:108

prophecy speaks of Him as

a

man, yet you see well

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:112

A

little further on (the Prophet

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:113

attribute them without fear to

an

ordinary man, a descendant of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:113

fear to an ordinary man,

a

descendant of David, and not

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:115

ancient days.” [Micah 5:2]. The issue of

a

simple man to be dated

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:118

Israel should remain to be

a

clairvoyant (people), listen to what

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:118

to say: “For to us

a

child is born. . . and the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:120

this has no reference to

a

contemporary throne, but to that

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:121

to His human nature was

a

son of David, of whom

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:122

to what Isaiah (prophesied): “Behold,

a

virgin shall conceive and bear

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:122

virgin shall conceive and bear

a

son and shall call his

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:127

grew up before him like

a

young plant), and like a

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:127

a young plant), and like

a

root out of dry ground

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:127

despised and rejected by men;

a

man of sorrows, and acquainted

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:129

opened not his mouth; like

a

lamb that is led to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:130

with the wicked and with

a

rich man in his death

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:131

dare you utter so evident

a

blasphemy, relying solely on the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:132

two generations? If you had

a

countenance that was sensitive and

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:133

irrelevant, and offer nothing but

a

multitude of gross and inadmissible

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:133

to dry them up with

a

little effort on the part

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:134

origin. Suppose we admit for

a

moment that ours have been

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:135

the Gospel we possess, in

an

attempt to produce some quotations

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:141

His disciples that He was

a

mere man, such an apparition

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:141

was a mere man, such

an

apparition making them realize that

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:141

respects above the state of

a

mere man; if, I repeat

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:144

me.” [John 12:45,48]. He was sent as

a

man, and He sent (His

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:144

He would have not said

a

little later on, “I and

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:145

Had He been merely

a

Prophet, He must have only

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:145

became perfect man, by assuming

a

human nature

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:146

the Scriptures), as applying to

a

man, just as the glorious

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:146

the glorious expressions apply to

a

true God, as I have

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:147

and approached the Lord as

a

mere man. In His human

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:148

temptations useless and retired for

a

while at which time angels

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:148

not worship (the Lord) as

a

mere man. It seems that

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:148

God, confessing Him always as

a

mere man, comparing Him to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:149

ask you), if (Jesus) were

a

mere man, according to your

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:149

to your supposition, is it

an

incredible thing that a man

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:149

it an incredible thing that

a

man should be able to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:154

Lord, when I will make

a

new covenant with the house

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:156

destruction by the blood of

an

unreasonable lamb, could not we

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:159

You are also ignorant of

a

further instance, that Abraham, before

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:159

that it might serve as

a

sign of nothing other than

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:160

God, announcing the introduction of

a

new covenant. Indeed, if Christ

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:161

fact that at so modern

a

time as ours, when God

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:163

I have given you as

a

light to the nations” and

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:163

sat in darkness have seen

a

great light

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:165

the Creator for so great

a

mystery. This is the day

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:167

yourselves. For I am doing

a

work in your days that

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:168

dwell in the womb of

a

woman, in the midst of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:169

that you know there is

a

multitude of creatures God has

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:169

the animals, it appears occupy

a

superior place in your mind

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:170

however, considered by you as

an

impure being, was nevertheless created

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:170

was nevertheless created not by

a

simple command, but by the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:170

resemblance to Him, cannot be

an

impure thing in His sight

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:175

considered of greater value than

a

bush and all other created

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:176

ever-living to have been

a

living temple I submit to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:178

broken, yet we know that

a

great number of saints’ bones

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:180

prophet, how could those of

a

simple dead man be able

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:181

dwelling in the tomb of

a

dead person, for that which

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:182

the straying habit worthy of

a

pagan, exercise such cruelties towards

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:183

immolate the profane sacrifice of

a

camel, at the same time

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:183

the same time had decapitated

a

number of Christian servants of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:184

thereon, as we learned from

a

commandment given by God to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:184

holy having the form of

a

living being

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:186

comes.” [Wisdom 14:7]. Again, “She (wisdom) is

a

tree of life to those

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:188

Likewise we, animated by

a

sincere love for the disciples

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:188

Lord Himself, have always felt

a

desire to conserve their images

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:188

appeared in the world in

a

similar figure, and who has

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:189

Abraham as you say. As

a

matter of fact Abraham never

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:190

and was the object of

a

cult among your people, while

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:193

you as by fire in

a

single day. As it is

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:194

will allow myself to say

a

word about the abominable authorization

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:194

by your legislator to have

an

affair with your wives which

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:194

women, as if it were

a

matter of tilling fields. Nor

sense of equanimity in all

take care of wordly necessities,

a

task which was entrusted to

secession of king Smbat as

a

very wicked act. Weighing his

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:1

his side and make him

an

ally, just as he had

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:2

back (on the caliph), gathered

a

large force. Then he set

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:3

of this, he sent forward

a

large force and occupied the

one of his venerable secretaries,

a

man of Syriac origin and

man of Syriac origin and

a

Christian by faith. By means

the king (the idea of

a)

treaty. He also removed from

peaceful coexistence with Yusuf

that he would agree to

a

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:13

and tassels, as well as

a

crown made out of gold

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:13

sapphire, and over which was

a

diadem studded with rows of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:14

of the king he designated

a

new kind of distinction, by

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:14

of distinction, by sending him

a

steed swift like the wind

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:14

For his waist he provided

a

girdle studded with gems, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:15

ostikan with robes suitable for

a

man in my position, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:15

in my position, and received

a

mule richly adorned with gold

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:16

kirmiz, cups and musical instruments,

a

belt made out of pure

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:18

from thorns, and reaped fruits

a

hundredfold. At the time of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:21

grace, granted to everyone abundantly

a

blissful state full of fruitful

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:21

state full of fruitful results.

A

fountain of goodness came forth

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:22

the Romans did not display

a

lesser degree of kindness toward

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:22

with Smbat were bound by

an

indissoluble pact of friendship, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 40:23

more august than himself and

a

real father

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:1

of Egrisi, conducted himself in

a

whimsical and arrogant manner, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:2

king of Iberia, immediately wrote

a

letter to the king of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:3

Smbat marched against him with

a

large force, and also taking

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:4

withstand them, he retreated to

a

certain stronghold taking refuge there

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:5

and drove him forth like

a

kid, the very same man

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:5

out of his den like

a

lion threatening to tear to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:6

benevolence of his heart assigned

an

allowance for his needs

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:7

kept Constantine in custody for

a

period of only four months

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:10

robes, placed on his head

a

golden crown studded with pearls

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:10

and girdled his waist with

a

golden belt set with gems

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 41:11

and putting under his command

an

army, sent him to his

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:2

secretaries to king Smbat with

a

strict decree, (demanding) that he

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:2

venture to set forth with

a

large army in order to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:2

and promising him to forego

a

year’s tribute to the court

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:4

the secretary, the king sent

a

confidential letter to the ostikan

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:5

toward to evil, and like

an

ancient python returning to its

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:6

in response to the letter

an

answer, which appeared to carry

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:13

naxarars, whose name was Hasan—

a

prince in charge (hramanatar) of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:13

domain of the king, and

a

man against whom no one

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:14

He brought about

a

breach between the king and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:16

Then they sent

a

certain man of the Hawuni

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:16

hiding their dark plot under

a

bushel, waited for the opportune

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:17

the district of Shirak with

a

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:21

together as one, unified into

a

single soldiery clad in the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:23

every man prepared to die

a

martyr’s death like David. They

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 42:23

flung stones not merely at

a

single mound of flesh, but

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:1

the loss of the city

a

personal grief

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:2

previously given the city as

a

gift to prince Smbat of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:4

with joy, and gave him

a

royal crown, as well as

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:5

prince Gagik, bearing something like

a

crown, returned to his domain

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:8

I also took with me

an

additional gift that I could

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:10

me and confined me in

a

dark dungeon, which was surrounded

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:11

thus against me, suddenly, like

a

flying bird there arrived Gurgen

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:11

prostrating himself before him in

a

cleverly calculated manner, he offered

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:12

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:13

a

few months, in accordance with

Gagik did not realize that

a

blazing fire would spread in

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:15

winter, the ostikan drew up

a

large army, and with irreconcilable

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:16

Naxjawan, he remained there for

a

few days, until Gagik and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:22

capital city of Dvin from

a

northeasterly direction

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 44:1

The ostikan Yusuf roared liked

a

wild lion throughout the entire

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 44:4

of the symbolic grain as

a

precaution against the severe famine

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 44:6

because he could not find

a

way of disengaging himself (from

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:2

warmer, the ostikan drew up

a

great number of troops to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:2

the conspirators against him in

an

underhanded manner

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:4

Gagik, had pitched camp on

a

level plain in a valley

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:4

on a level plain in

a

valley at the foot of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:5

enemy encountered them in such

a

way that against their wishes

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:5

forced to make preparations for

an

attack without realizing the treachery

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:10

prince (Mushegh), and held many

a

feast for his troops

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:14

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:14

a

tempest, the deathly Ishmaelite winds

homes, disappeared whirling away like

a

dust storm. With the fierceness

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:19

In

a

third passage he (Isaiah) says

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:21

And, indeed, such

a

deathly and acrid stench rose

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:1

words into laments, and with

a

sad heart shall not hesitate

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:3

I will meet them (...] like

a

panther, and those that are

service. The latter gave him

a

deathly poison to drink, as

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:6

deathly poison to drink, as

a

result of which the prince

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:10

Subsequently, they killed in

a

similar manner certain azats, about

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:10

brothers. Being terrified of such

an

unbearable death, they submitted to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:12

headlong to the ground, traversed

a

considerable distance, and suspending himself

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:13

guards could be heard and

a

force could be gathered to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:14

in the land withdrew in

a

state of terror to the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:18

those who could not have

a

taste of this life

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:1

if they possibly could find

a

way of escaping these afflictions

wish not to go to

a

foreign land, until the wrath

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:2

swift oars as if in

an

ark, and found asylum on

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:2

and their mother, who was

a

devout Christian and an ascetic

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:2

was a devout Christian and

an

ascetic, and the azat troops

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:4

might possibly drive them to

a

state of desperation, so that

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:4

that being unable to find

a

place of refuge because of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:5

whatever was left, and took

a

considerable amount of booty which

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:7

sister of king Smbat, and

a

woman renowned among the ascetics

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:7

holy manner of life, died.

A

few years later, after they

body and buried her in

a

grave near the church built

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:8

stand against him, he sent

a

detachment of wicked brigands throughout

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 47:9

together with his naxarars and

a

large army to the fortress

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:6

entreaties, because it was in

a

state of confusion at that

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:9

intrigues of the Hagarite, in

a

manner similar to that which

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:12

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:12

a

period of one year, the

many people to perish with

a

horrible tumult which resembled the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:13

men in the fortress were

a

select lot, who skilfully calculated

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:15

with valor to life with

a

stricken conscience

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:16

having asked the ostikan for

a

solemn oath, he descended to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:18

the king might possibly have

a

treasure stored away, and by

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:18

he could please him like

a

fruitful tree, and deceive him

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:20

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:20

a

short while Yusuf put a

a short while Yusuf put

a

stop to his vengeful and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 48:21

prudent Gagik was stricken with

a

sense of shame because of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:1

at all. Subsequently, he made

a

conspiracy to put him to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:1

They had prepared for him

a

hellish prison, where, in accordance

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:2

torments was continued for approximately

an

entire year

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:3

After this, agitated like

a

boiling cauldron by the thoughts

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:5

ostikan wanted Smbat to have

a

violent death and gradually began

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:7

spared by them even to

a

small degree. Whenever he had

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:7

eucharist at the hands of

a

certain overseer (bishop?) of the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:10

if to the press of

a

carpenter, and piled many pieces

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:12

torments, they decapitated him with

a

sword. He departed from this

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:12

departed from this life after

a

reign of twenty-two years

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:13

They stretched his cadaver on

a

pole, and crucified him in

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:13

the fortitude of dying like

a

martyr, in return for which

king had been crucified on

a

tall beam, some believers, as

believers, claimed to have seen

a

brilliant light gleaming like a

a brilliant light gleaming like

a

lamp with a radiant glitter

gleaming like a lamp with

a

radiant glitter far above the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 50:5

of the king and bearing

a

resemblance to him. Those who

prison, they made preparations for

a

strong defense

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 50:9

father suffered the death of

a

martyr, Ashot, like an eagle

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 50:9

of a martyr, Ashot, like

an

eagle soaring through the sky

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 50:9

our land. At first, in

a

short period, he reconquered and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 50:15

Then unexpectedly—as if in

an

ambush—he came upon the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 50:19

him prosperous, they came to

an

agreement with him, and being

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 50:19

the position of honor of

a

monarch and entrusted the future

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:13

they cut them open with

a

sword from the chest down

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:15

then, with the stroke of

a

double-edged sword at the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:16

direction of the head stooped

a

little over the cleavage at

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:26

deem the judges worthy of

an

answer, but conversed only with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:28

the sabre-bearing executioners like

a

wall, and thus had the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:29

present there, took notice of

a

comely and handsome youth by

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:31

presented himself to Christ as

a

reasonable sacrifice together with all

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:38

hope, and offer yourself as

a

reasonable sacrifice and votive immolation

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:39

not considering the agony of

an

intolerable death, willingly went toward

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:40

and crowned by Christ with

an

unfading wreath

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:41

the older brother also following

a

victorious war, and after fulfilling

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:44

their labor gave birth to

a

soul that was redeemed. Their

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:50

I wrote

an

account of these as a

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:50

an account of these as

a

warning for all those who

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:1

compelled to utter words of

a

sorrowful nature, for the neighboring

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:1

cities, awans and villages in

a

prosperous state, and for this

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:2

calamities, which left them in

a

state of waste, desolation and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:3

untrodden and barren, almost like

a

land through which men had

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:4

of booty, each one carried

a

proportional amount to his respective

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:7

make the attempt to find

a

solution to this misfortune, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:7

misfortune, and befittingly unite in

a

common brotherhood with one spirit

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:9

foot and became arrogant in

a

great rebellion

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:16

present disorder: “Before him is

a

garden of delight, and behind

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:16

of delight, and behind him

a

plain of desolation

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:12

continued (to scourge us) for

a

period of seven years. For

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:16

children to the enemy for

a

small amount of allowance, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:19

passers-by to extend them

a

piece of bread, and perished

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:20

they turned against them in

a

merciless and harsh manner, because

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:26

their mothers. Children begged for

a

piece of dry bread and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:27

destroyed in the twinkling of

an

eye

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:31

one could bury them in

a

grave

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:33

Thus death spread in

a

matter of few days, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:34

of these afflictions I was

an

expatriate dwelling in Gugark’ and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:34

his guest and arranged for

a

generous allowance, yet, as my

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:4

of us, who are at

a

great distance from you, have

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:4

said in consolation for such

a

wickedness? How could righteousness follow

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:16

Armenia and Iberia, by making

a

solemn oath in regard to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:18

the heathens. I also was

a

witness to the wailing, lamenting

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:18

spread over my heart like

a

net, and having recovered by

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:23

the sparapet by means of

a

clever declaration succumbed in every

a

letter to the Emperor Constantine

a

waterless desert, in the manner

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:27

desert, in the manner of

a

mother deprived of her children

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:32

have received for your benevolence

a

gift which is worthy of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:33

am forced to speak in

an

unusual manner concerning the afflictions

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:37

of its might, and like

an

adulterer with dissolute passion, it

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:38

acknowledged fear of you as

a

protective bastion against the enemies

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:38

imperial majesties, as if in

an orchard-guard’s hut; like

a

forest, they hewed down her

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:44

their fear of death. Like

a

twig that is shaken by

all the evil turmoils to

a

state of spiritual richness with

has become desolate, and like

a

widow she is left unattended

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:55

What account should I, Yovhannes,

a

most humble man, give of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:56

in dark dungeons, cast into

a

muddy cell, and chained with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:57

Although I am

a

tormented man, our Hope Christ

a

tranquil state

I am not asking for

a

domicile and quarters that my

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:72

wished very much to pay

a

visit to you. Yet, until

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:73

provide my own people with

a

restful living quarter and a

a restful living quarter and

peaceful life within your august

people of the Lord, and

a

humble pastor of my flock

a

perfect state of peace. Exult

Him, who crowned you with

a

magnificently glittering diadem decked with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:2

king. He treated Ashot almost

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:6

the title “the son of

a

martyr”, and “my beloved son

Derjan, where I remained for

a

period of one month. Although

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:12

Also I saw there

a

small cavity dug in the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:12

dug in the depths of

a

cavern, which was difficult of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:12

to Christ, had set up

a

divine altar for their votive

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:14

place, I also, who am

a

wretch, with the help of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:15

shepherds, and on which site

a

church had been built earlier

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:19

glittered in luminous lustre with

an

unquenchable light and radiated the

a

twig from the ash tree

the Lord, and raised not

a

small amount of uproar as

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:25

he had always spurned as

a

dishonorable and despicable person, he

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:30

almost as if demented by

a

certain depredation due to frantic

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:33

a

generous allowance, gave presents and

with his brother Gurgen many

a

time met the requirements of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 56:3

under his sway, and like

a

newly arrived guest expected to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 56:6

gird up his loins with

a

sword, whereafter he sent him

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 56:10

given the same honors in

a

befitting manner

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 57:3

And as there was

thousand foes with one hand

a

huge outroar, and armed with

them. At the twinkling of

an

eye they quickly cut through

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 57:9

Vasak, who took refuge with

a

few of his men in

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 57:13

hands of their captors after

a

period of two years, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 58:2

between themselves and getting ready

a

great mob composed of numerous

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 58:6

poverty for themselves. Thus, for

a

period of two years they

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 58:7

my greetings, because I was

a

peace-maker, and whenever I

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 58:8

the ostikan Yusuf sent Ashot

a

royal crown and valuable ornaments

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 58:8

valuable weapons and armor, and

an

Ishmaelite cavalry detachment to assist

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 58:13

Gurgen, and receiving from him

a

great number of soldiers, arrived

a

son, his heir, still under

assistance of the king with

a

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:3

en masse, he also gathered

a

large melange of daring but

wings, and setting out like

a

company of brigands, soon reached

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:6

fell upon the foe with

a

great uproar and struck them

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:8

to be able to find

a

way out of his problems

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:16

hostilities commenced between them as

a

result of the preconceived wickedness

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:17

of the king, asked for

a

solemn oath, so that he

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:18

same mind as well as

a

beloved brother

father-in-law Gurgen through

a

messenger, and that these were

had delayed the matter for

a

few days, he consented to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:21

king might be possessed by

a

wild desire, and having broken

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:1

to Armenia as governor (ostikan)

a

certain Hagarite by the name

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:2

he sent to the caliph

a

large amount of gold and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:2

the rest was offered as

a

gift

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:4

the king, as if against

a

foreign enemy

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:6

they induced them to make

a

treaty of peace between themselves

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:6

father-in-law exchanged many

a

solemn oath in writing, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:8

The tyrant, however, considering this

a

gift from the royal court

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:10

of the Hagarites had raised

an

outcry almost at the point

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:13

the aid of) Gurgen with

a

multitude, yet, they could not

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:15

coming to terms of peace,

a

messenger suddenly came to king

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:18

king might struggle to find

a

foothold there

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:19

camp in the glens of

a

hill on the western side

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:20

There, having found

a

mound which was surrounded by

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:21

one of the bishops as

an

envoy to prince Sahak with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:22

us, just like that between

a

real father and his beloved

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:23

it perhaps not worthy of

an

answer, and becoming ever more

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:23

with my sword and give

an

immediate answer to his demands

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:24

so that the semblance of

an

impregnable bastion might be created

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:29

his two hundred soldiers raised

a

loud cry in unison and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:29

made their horses run at

a

gallop

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:30

in the arena, and like

a

tempest having dispersed the enemy

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:30

enemy in the twinkling of

an

eye, he drove every one

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:32

Subsequently, struck with

a

vain fear of death, the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:33

Overwhelmed by such

a

mindless apprehension, he blinded both

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:33

would not let him suffer

a

second time the distress caused

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:34

The accomplishment of such

a

wicked deed made everyone lose

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:1

A

short time before this, the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:1

ministers (naxarar) against him with

a

great force. Although Yusuf was

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:3

his (Yusuf’s) most venerable servants,

a

man by the name of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:3

domain by force, and after

a

short time was designated by

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:4

latter, rather than Yusuf, made

a

treaty of peaceful coexistence with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:5

king Gagik, marshalled his forces

a

few days later, and sent

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:9

Thereupon, he sent

a

certain Georg Hawnuni, a man

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:9

sent a certain Georg Hawnuni,

a

man of clerical rank, to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:9

accepted the gifts and made

a

solemn oath to cease holding

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 61:10

domain of king Gagik enjoyed

a

life of peace and tranquillity

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 62:1

Ashot uncovered the layers of

a

rebellion organized by the Canaanite

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 62:2

of Vasak, and sent him

a

solemn oath bearing his seal

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 62:13

cried out to them in

a

loud voice and note: “If

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 62:13

may enter and easily putting

an

end to the contest give

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 62:14

taken into custody, and after

a

few days deprived all of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:2

from where he immediately sent

an

advance dispatch to the other

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:2

of the moral obligations of

a

common ancestry, and on behalf

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:2

and bushes, or turned into

a

refuge of brigands

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:3

He also made

a

solemn oath before me, so

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:5

all matters, they came to

a

complete understanding, which they confirmed

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:5

understanding, which they confirmed by

an

oath

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:6

of Dvin, where they put

an

end to the aberration of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:8

enter the service of Gurgen,

a

foreigner (anbnikn) who was the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:10

would help him except for

a

very small number of unimportant

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:13

might be able to find

an

immediate solution to the problem

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:15

into the narrow defile of

a

fortress, where there was no

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:5

their homes, as if in

a

peaceful haven. In accordance with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:6

the caliph, was confronted by

a

great confusion, for rebellious adversaries

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:8

agitators also appeared and raised

an

uproar. After this every one

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:8

his side, and they shed

a

great amount of one another’s

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:9

At this time,

a

certain adviser at the royal

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:9

because, he argued, Yusuf was

an

ingenious man, a mighty warrior

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:9

Yusuf was an ingenious man,

a

mighty warrior, one who was

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:10

the man who could put

a

stop to the attacks and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:11

Yusuf, and sent him with

a

detachment of forces to his

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:12

Yusuf, however, like

a

whirlwind hurried out impetuously and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:13

by catastrophies, yet, there is

a

chance that the people of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:16

the confines of Korduk’ for

a

few days, the ostikan Yusuf

a

serpent that releases its venom

mind) for king Gagik, like

an

Indian divesting himself of the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:19

envoys to the king for

an

immediate and compassionate reconciliation

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:22

of wars was death, and

an

invitation to death meant the

a

certain man by the name

A

short time before the events

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:1

Naxjawan, where he remained for

a

number of days, as his

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:2

might be able, by making

a

covenant with death, to acquire

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:3

the lord of Siwnik’ in

a

sympathetic spirit of friendship

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:4

Responding as if to

an

invitation from the royal court

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:4

gifts. Seemingly benumbed and in

a

certain state of lethargy, he

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:4

state of lethargy, he made

a

treaty with hell ignoring the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:5

But Nasr conceived

a

plot, and having allied himself

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:13

suddenly, at the twinkling of

an

eye, the darkness of night

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:14

was not the time for

an

eclipse of the sun, we

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:14

sun, we acknowledged this as

an

authentic sign manifested to us

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:16

ravines of Mount Gegh, in

a

small glen, we ascended directly

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:17

We remained in Sewan for

a

period of four days with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:18

out like hidden treasures from

a

depository, so that we could

a

church constructed with solid polished

had founded this place as

a

monastery for celibate priests

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:21

reached Biwrakan, I immediately sent

a

letter to Nasr, and reminded

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:22

should he assure me with

a

solemn oath (of my safety

a

tribute for my well-being

my letter, Nasr immediately sent

a

solemn oath in accordance with

even greater extent by means

extent, that due to their

and death, and sent out

a

large number of forces to

a

camp, and having gathered numerous

As

a

general rule, one soldier would

rule, one soldier would address

a

comrade in the following manner

Subsequently, like

impetuous tempest the Ishmaelite forces

an

impious and terrible uproar and

a

barbaric manner enforced their wicked

plans on the people. In

a

mad frenzy of wickedness they

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:39

as one would chop down

a

tree with the sharp strokes

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:39

with the sharp strokes of

an

axe. Then, they severed his

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:39

head (from his body) with

a

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:43

afflicted with grief, nor as

a

result of his youth did

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:49

saved from the horrors of

a

fearful death. However, the latter

a

miraculous manner he lived in

he lived in flesh like

an

A

short time later I ransomed

a

great number of forces, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 67:7

Then, at

a

gallop he fell bravely and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 67:7

headlong to the ground. Although

a

few of his men also

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 67:10

for many days, he led

a

large force, twice as great

a

small number of men, came

a

genuine feeling of spiritual friendship

With this, which is like

thrown into the shade in

a

crevice of the rock and

long time later that Ninos

As

a

better-known example I can

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:14

that he had come as

a

foreigner to enter the kingdom

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:15

on the model of Babylon,

a

river running through the middle

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:16

Adramelēk’ and Sanasar came with

a

strong force to the mountain

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:20

of years, which is not

a

convincing demonstration following one mode

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:21

zealous concerns were (merely) with

a

view to information from what

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:21

had said previously, and not

a

personal effort to invent writing

Phoenician

a

little pause in our narrative

the east”—that is, in

a

country in the East about

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:23

it, rather than speaking of

a

western paradise or of it

a

term of life whose many

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:24

many years were as but

a

day. It had no need

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:24

It had no need of

a

foreign source of light whereby

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:25

the incorruptible; it was but

a

very little below the angels

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:25

this modest service made like

an

offering he might thereby be

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:25

might thereby be raised to

an

even higher station according to

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:27

He who sees all at

a

glance descended to seek out

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:27

his approach, calling out in

a

friendly voice: “Where are you

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:29

of the snake in finding

a

source of blame for the

a

single honourable aspect does he

an

irremedial and pitiful exchange. Made

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:31

as inheritance for his sons

a

life of labour with death

God”; but (he was) not

a

worthy heir. She bore again

sevenfold vengeance,” is there really

a

sevenfold debt of sin? If

to anyone. For did by

a

series of seven evils this

or will it seem of

a

single kind? First of all

the saying: “If you offer (

a

sacrifice) but do not divide

Fourthly, because (it was)

a

brother and not some stranger

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:41

with pointless effort he built

a

city, not considered among the

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:43

of God.” He was given

a

command not to mingle with

a

model of righteousness and patience

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:45

saints received as it were

a

paternal inheritance, like fathers to

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:52

But they had been given

a

command to keep away from

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:55

to construct the ark as

an

indication of the obliteration of

a

hundred years in his mercy

a

sinner but that he may

a

single one seems ever to

life of spiritual prophecy. After

For if the course of

a

single thunderbolt and the crack

hundred years, he was commanded

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:62

a

flood of waters over the

a

daughter of Noah and the

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:65

by custom up until today

a

woman reigns over the land

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:67

about eight persons,” that is

an

expression of incertitude. Of these

a

little later (when treating) of

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:70

breathing and living creature; for

a

whole year the earth remained

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:71

punishment on men and established

an

eternal covenant: “I shall place

follower of the holy apostles

a

city of the same name

a

thousand years

A

little later he says: “I

there are other fables, that

a

book was written by him

Others say that

a

certain Chronos was father of

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 2:3

an

account of his earlier deeds

deeds and placed it in

a

bronze vessel fastened with lead

a

statue) made by mortal hands

an

exposition of those times that

the confusion of languages caused

a

new fable about himself in

baneful disease. In frightened terror

from the same book. After

a

little he says: “Frequently my

days. Then we arrived at

a

spot by the sea. Placing

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:27

we embarked and sailed to

an

island in the sea, not

a

crab came out and dragged

a

female ass which had a

a

foal. We immediately attached her

alert, yet invisible, guards like

a

very secure fence that would

care, that might stand outside

fortified royal garden. Such seemed

saying it is part of

a

god, how is it that

weak one is worshipped like

a

god? But how are they

that fire is part of

god? For sparks of it

that it is moved by

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 4:38

called Nerełibd and who was

a

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 4:39

of his reign, Senek’erim gathered

a

numerous army against him, captured

Then, after receiving

a

message from Tigran, Sanasar and

host of numerous troops in

army in support. In rapid

powerful generals of Alexander for

a

long time, amazing their armies

a

reputation for victory and even

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 6:32

the distinguishing feature of possessing

an

aquiline nose. But I do

So it is

a

great pleasure for me, and

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:22

that his mission was from

an

angel and not from a

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:22

an angel and not from

a

man, he was very vexed

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:23

regions of Persia who had

a

pupil called Sałman. At the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:24

of the Scriptures, though not

a

perfect one. When Mahmet saw

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:24

and ordered him to write

a

book of laws for his

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:25

for him and set down

a

composite book, some of it

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:25

But Mahmet himself, moved by

a

raving spirit, had him write

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:26

of Isaiah: “riding one on

a

donkey, and the other on

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:26

donkey, and the other on

a

camel.” All this he applied

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:31

never leave you forever. Like

a

potter’s furnace will you burn

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:33

out the Greeks, and gathering

a

great army attacked the enfeebled

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:35

Mawi, [20] years and [3] months and

a

few days. There was a

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:35

a few days. There was

a

fierce war between Ali, son

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:35

Mruan, [21] years. And there was

a

great opposition and war (between

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:36

planned even more evil. By

a

deceitful trick he trapped the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:37

of them all. He wrote

a

letter on the faith to

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:37

of the Greeks; and receiving

a

response from him expunged many

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:39

Yezit, for [6] years. He was

a

pestilential man. Moved by a

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:39

a pestilential man. Moved by

a

rabid spirit he inflicted many

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:41

he himself was strangled by

a

demon and perished

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:56

alone over everyone and built

a

city and royal palace for

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:58

he inflicted on Armenia over

a

long period of time; and

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 5:0

reckoning of the Armenian calendar;

a

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 5:1

A

certain man, Jap’r, insolent and

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 5:1

and torment those who wished

a

peaceful life; for confusion and

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 5:2

with cancerous mien, raging like

a

wild beast, he began to

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 5:2

of their wily race, with

an

amiable countenance he tried to

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 5:3

Ashot of the Artsruni house,

a

most renowned man and very

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 5:6

the borders of Armenia with

a

numerous army, coming close to

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 5:11

and the royal taxes to

a

certain Muse, son of a

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 5:11

a certain Muse, son of

a

Hagarite Zōrahay, who then ruled

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:1

At that time there was

a

great disturbance between Bagarat and

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:3

own troops, he hastily sent

a

begging letter to the valiant

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:3

rapidly in person and with

an

army and arms

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:10

Akēats’i, Vardan Gabayełen, Smbat Marats’ean,

a

lesser noble Sahak, the patrik

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:12

our valiant Ashot arrived. In

a

dauntless assault they fell on

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:13

troops being struck. Roaring like

a

lion, he rushed on the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:14

who could resist them, not

a

single person. Those who survived

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:16

So, the Armenian troops put

an

end to the warfare, returning

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:18

in silence and forgetfulness such

a

great victory won by the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:19

met coming from the court

a

certain vizier (in charge) of

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:21

Ali also made

a

raid in the direction of

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:22

The prince sent him

a

message as follows: “You have

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:22

taxes. Do you also have

a

command from court to capture

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:23

message, deeming it unworthy of

a

response, and in the same

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:25

the battle. Bravely attacking with

a

valiant shout, he rushed on

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:26

Vahan Havnuni fought bravely, gaining

a

notable victory and putting the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:26

killed. Ali himself, escaping with

a

few men, fled in the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:26

of the Armenian troops (only)

a

few insignificant men were killed

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:28

But because of these events

a

violent war was fomented by

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:28

had hidden much treasure in

a

barrel in the ground below

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:32

that day there will be

a

voice from the gate of

royal gate, he roared like

a

lion or like a disturbed

like a lion or like

a

disturbed bear. He flamed like

disturbed bear. He flamed like

a

fiery furnace, and foamed like

with purple blood. He uttered

a

great cry like infernal rumbling

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:34

boiled around his heart in

a

fiery glow. Carried away by

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:34

great anxiety as he sought

a

solution to the events that

they began to act in

a

filthy fashion until they brought

dwellings. 36 For it is written: “

A

just king sets his country

country aright; the ruin of

a

country is an impious king

ruin of a country is

an

impious king.” Continuously he urged

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:37

Ezekiel says: “Your father was

a

Canaanite and your mother a

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:37

a Canaanite and your mother

a

Hittite

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:38

mindful of the oversight of

a

different land he repeated the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:43

Immediately gathering

an

army and forming a force

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:43

gathering an army and forming

a

force of elite cavalry, with

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:43

generals, he entrusted it to

a

certain Yovsep’, son of Apusēt’

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:46

and pile up for himself

a

vast amount of booty

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:48

to the general. He wrote

a

letter in these terms

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:51

prince of Tarōn, who was

a

woman wise in words and

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:51

Yovsep’, requesting him to establish

a

treaty and peace with her

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:52

the land of Vaspurakan with

a

minimum of damage, taking the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:54

the divinely inspired Scriptures with

a

host of ministers of the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 7:1

the Muslims was encamped, like

a

hibernating bear who has gone

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 7:4

of Khoyt’ gathered together as

a

crowd to consider their strategems

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 7:6

marzpan fled for refuge to

a

very tall church which had

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 7:6

last and was buried like

a

donkey

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 7:9

men were to shout from

a

very high place he would

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 7:9

anywhere; you would think it

a

mere echo from the rocks

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 7:9

and their mutual speech is

a

patchwork of borrowed words

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 7:11

wool. For footwear they use

a

form of boot made from

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:4

pieces all the limbs of

a

body until the form of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:4

limbs is lost, it is

an

accidental deprivation but the (whole

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:11

said to the caliph: “Gather

an

army, assemble a force, march

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:11

caliph: “Gather an army, assemble

a

force, march into the land

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:12

to strike our feet against

a

rock. The day of destruction

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:16

lamentation, and mourning not for

a

single clan or a single

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:16

for a single clan or

a

single area but for all

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:19

will be your land as

an

inheritance for you and your

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:25

general he appointed over them

a

man called Bugha, a Turk

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:25

them a man called Bugha,

a

Turk by race, and he

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:27

and haughty, he roared like

a

dragon, striking terror into those

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:30

undone. For I shall work

a

deed in your days, a

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:30

a deed in your days,

a

deed you would not believe

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:3

Then he entrusted

a

part of his army to

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:3

part of his army to

a

general named Zhirak and sent

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:4

us by night and cause

a

great disaster

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:6

and farms they made it

a

desert devoid of men and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:9

brother aided by brother like

a

secure and strong city,” or

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:9

or according to Isaiah: “At

a

single voice thousands will perish

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:10

A

priest called Shapuh and one

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:10

the force. Supported also by

a

shepherd, they hurled stones with

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:10

numerous. Their memory will be

a

source of courage and bravery

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:11

nobility of the Vahevuni family,

a

certain Apusahak, brother of Sahak

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:14

arrows of his quiver with

a

sponge, he directed his destructive

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:15

for I shall give you

a

mouth and wisdom to which

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:18

spirit”; and: “Do not let

a

seven-branch candlestick hide the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:18

shining of its light under

a

bushel, but let it be

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:22

earthly contest would come to

an

end. Kneeling down, he prayed

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:23

One of them took

a

sword, struck the blessed one

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:25

had heard of it from

a

certain Persian from the valley

a

way out of the danger

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:30

besieged the castle, making it

an

inescapable cage

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:33

Then, after

a

few days, (Bugha) armed his

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:37

it soaks it up like

a

sponge. Putting this on themselves

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:39

abdomen in the form of

a

shield, indicating the artistry of

a

cuirass and on their heads

cuirass and on their heads

a

helmet; on their hands they

their shoes like slippers, put

a

shield on their backs, gird

their backs, gird themselves with

a

sword, take a lance in

judicial interrogation and examination of

themselves with a sword, take

a

lance in their hand, and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:42

order. This Isaiah described in

a

phrase: “The Elamites took up

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:43

and even greater than this—

an

array of armed preparedness, in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:44

and ostentatious fashion, striding like

a

lion cub, quite unconcerned and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:47

there at counsel decided on

an

evil plan; feigning friendship as

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:48

Vahram, they had him take

a

letter to the general, full

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:49

tortures rebels and opponents in

a

manner worthy of their villainy

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:49

the country discord and from

a

peaceful land turmoil, as is

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:52

of the Artsruni family, and

a

great number of nobles and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:52

head, perhaps under cover of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:52

come upon you and inflict

a

terrible disaster on you and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:53

For he is

a

valiant man and a warrior

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:53

is a valiant man and

a

warrior, and the troops with

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:54

plans, and inflict on you

a

shameful and humiliating defeat—as

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:54

to resist them, not even

a

hundred men against ten Armenian

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:55

also in the form of

a

letter. Confirming it with an

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:55

a letter. Confirming it with

an

oath, he note: “Whatever you

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:58

their charge of your being

a

rebel against the caliph be

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:60

with you falsely, give now

a

response before my face and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:61

cared for you tenderly like

a

father, or as a hen

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:61

like a father, or as

a

hen gathering her chicks under

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:61

in watchful security as in

a

fortified city, living without worries

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:62

as compensation for that: ’Set

a

sinner over them; let Satan

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:64

you not reflect on even

a

single one of the benefits

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:69

that the country may see

an

end to the ravages of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:71

God he prayed; he ate

a

little bread and wine, gave

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:76

Then the general promised with

an

oath to give him whatever

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:81

He shall send to them

a

man who will save them

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:82

joy and cheerful rejoicing, making

an

appointment for him to return

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 3:1

in bonds, he (Bugha) formed

a

detachment of soldiers and elite

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 3:3

tribunal and bring them to

a

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:5

But reaching

a

noble decision, they preferred a

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:5

a noble decision, they preferred

a

valiant death to life with

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:6

He spoke with them in

a

severe fashion, but of that

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:8

a

thrice-blessed young man, himself

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:8

thrice-blessed young man, himself

a

Muslim and a Persian by

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:8

man, himself a Muslim and

a

Persian by race who pursued

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:9

himself to the sword as

a

living sacrifice to the Son

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:10

But he shouted: “I am

a

Christian.” But (Vahram) persisted and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:10

Do not die, you are

a

Muslim.” But he even more

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:10

out, weeping tears: “I am

a

Christian, and I die for

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:13

his hands, saying: “I am

a

Christian, I am a Christian

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:13

am a Christian, I am

a

Christian,” until the executioners, enraged

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:14

Then behold

a

bright light descended from heaven

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:16

separates me from his people.”

A

little later he says: “As

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:16

my house shall be called

a

house of prayer for all

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:19

for his saying: “I am

a

Christian” according to the Scripture

A

new name shall be given

a

memorial for the saint. After

a

host of nobles and magnates

a

great lake there near the

an

immense multitude swarming around the

of the sea. As in

a

few men, more or less

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:31

a

distance of about two miles

hour of the day, on

a

Sunday, behold, detachments of cavalry

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:33

the mountain was filled with

a

multitude of soldiers; and the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:35

as the whole host raised

a

shout, as if the mountain

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:36

an

awesome thundering, shocks, and echoes

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:37

of the day came to

an

end, the priests read the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:39

and realised that it was

a

messenger of grievous news; “for

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:39

grievous news; “for he has

a

naked sword in his hand

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:41

a

solid compact mass, a single

forming a solid compact mass,

a

single man as it were

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:41

man as it were, or

a

high rock. They stood firm

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:42

a

wall of adamant, so they

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:42

fugitives, ready to die like

a

brave shepherd for his sheep

but that they had given

a

general order to go out

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:44

prepare, to form ranks and

a

line against the Muslims. He

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:45

out to oppose them like

an

indestructible rock, in order of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:58

a

resolute assault they joined battle

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:61

the battle, for it was

a

spiritual battle and not a

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:61

a spiritual battle and not

a

physical one; they were fighting

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:63

A

certain Ashkhē who had come

lines faced each other, suddenly

a

man in the likeness of

ranks. He wore around himself

a

garment of blazing light, shining

his right hand he had

a

sword and in his left

sword and in his left

a

censer full of incense

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:65

He was mounted on

a

white horse and fanned the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:65

towards the enemy. There was

a

sweet smell as he wafted

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:65

when it lessened they had

a

little respite from the enemy

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:2

killed clearly and openly: that

a

mere nine hundred men had

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:4

A

command was sent throughout the

foreign land to live in

Het’m of the royal army,

a

Turk by race, accompanied by

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:6

a

greater state of readiness than

than the former (army), with

a

letter written and sealed but

he charge him with being

a

rebel. Rather he had the

standards and flags unfurled, placed

a

princely crown on his head

his person, girded him with

a

sword, and set him on

sword, and set him on

a

finely adorned mule

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:10

an

escort in front and behind

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:10

instruments echoing around them, with

a

host of armed soldiers on

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:10

push aside the pressing throng,

a

herald cried out:“The principality

few words the history of

a

pure confession and keep our

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:8

For if the sail of

not deployed on both sides,

straight course cannot be steered

a

people with impure lips

a

small matter, how much more

As Paul, lamenting, says as

a

threat: “Think what severe punishment

Just as

man give for his soul

the tyrant, despising him as

a

worthless child or crazy old

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:16

his mind became foolish like

a

drunkard insensible from drink. He

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:16

nor did he give them

an

opportunity to respond, but ordered

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:17

the place of execution, like

a

young groom to the wedding

a

husband joining the bride. They

horrible death

a

silver censer, worked in choice

Right beneath Amrakan, in

a

hollow spot diagonally to the

a

church, constructed in wonderful fashion

built on the same foundation (

a

chapel) dedicated to the crucifixion

stronghold impregnable to mounted raiders

a

church (dedicated) to the upper

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:31

a

church in commemoration of the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:31

a

church (dedicated) to the Ascension

a

staircase cut in the rock

construction that was built like

a

city, improving on the construction

splendid place of pleasure, surrounding

pleasure, surrounding with palatial buildings

a

hill from which one could

a

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:36

rooms, sufficient for his needs,

a

little below the place called

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:37

He found there

a

strong rocky place secure from

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:37

a

splendid palace, beautifully adorned for

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:38

life for his sheep like

a

good shepherd, raising a lofty

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:38

like a good shepherd, raising

a

high embankment at the village

a

certain priest named Yovhannēs from

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:44

Here he organised

a

settlement of monks and entrusted

above-mentioned priest, who was

a

gentle man, humble and honourable

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:45

a

splendid and glorious church dedicated

loss spread over Armenia like

a

heavy thundercloud filled with wrath

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:39

land of Armenia remains without

a

dark-coloured covering for her

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:48

who waged great battles without

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:48

without an effort and gained

a

glorious name for himself and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:51

day not befall us in

a

great battle among the jostling

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:51

among the jostling spears of

an

army, (when) we might have

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:53

us success in bringing to

a

final conclusion the extensive story

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:1

he ruled his principality like

a

man with the help of

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:5

this, King Ashot lived for

a

year and a half before

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:5

lived for a year and

a

half before leaving the world

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:6

Their relatives found this

a

suitable occasion to begin seizing

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:7

Then Apumruan came forward with

a

plan, for he wished to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:7

shall rule the country as

a

substitute in the name of

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:9

Then, when there were

a

few days of leisure, he

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:11

he had tricked Ashot like

a

young child by giving him

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:12

fraud by saying: “I am

a

man without heirs, save only

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:13

and he was waiting (for

an

occasion) to kill him secretly

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:1

the blessed youth Gagik as

a

chosen vessel worthy of his

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:1

that he would become such

a

person, he bestowed on him

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:1

been said by the prophet: “

A

just king reestablishes the land

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:3

Even from

a

youthful age he was a

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:3

a youthful age he was

a

budding source of virtue

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:4

Hence the youth is

a

great source of amazement to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:4

land always treated him in

a

friendly way. For wisdom flowed

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:5

he made the decision of

a

true warrior to kill Apumruan

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:6

death by the sword in

a

park of the town of

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:10

Because for

a

nation that was in darkness

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:10

was in darkness he placed

a

shining torch on the highest

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:10

on the highest point of

a

castle that was fortified around

a

tall tower built with strong

stones bonded in lead, like

a

wall of bronze, firmly nailed

the enemy; likewise, similar to

an

iron pillar on secure bases

the sublime principality of Armenia;

a

place of refuge to which

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:12

a

rational sword, blazing with the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:12

into them, he brought to

a

halt those who waxed insolent

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:13

From

a

youthful and inexperienced age he

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:13

age he rose up like

a

lion cub delightful in his

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:15

saying of the wise man: “

A

brother helped by a brother

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:15

man: “A brother helped by

a

brother will become like a

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:15

a brother will become like

a

strong city.” He began to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:20

Ap’shin came to Armenia with

a

numberless armed force and attacked

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:23

the king of Armenia, sent

a

messenger to ask Ap’shin for

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:28

the land of Vaspurakan with

a

numberless host

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:32

a

eunuch named Yiwsr with a

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:32

a eunuch named Yiwsr with

a

large army to wage battle

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:35

When spring arrived,

a

eunuch whom he had appointed

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:35

the city of Partaw gathered

an

army, rebelled against Ap’shin, and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:37

him, but smote him with

a

painful ulcer through a holy

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:37

with a painful ulcer through

a

holy angel—as once (he

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:40

So he despatched

a

force to besiege the castle

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:42

the (saying) of the sage: “

A

man will not succeed by

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:43

bandit Hasan. The roof of

a

house weakened and collapsed, and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:43

the ceiling fell in, making

an

inescapable trap for him and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:44

messengers. They besieged it for

a

few days, then put out

a

monk, and lived a holy

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:45

became a monk, and lived

a

holy life until the day

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:49

prince of Vaspurakan, intervened with

a

few troops, and with much

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:49

help from on high, inflicted

a

great defeat on the enemy

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:49

control. But falling prey to

a

mortal illness, he departed this

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:2

brightness, in the twinkling of

an

eye robes itself in powerful

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:4

son of Maymanik, who by

a

deceitful ruse had seized the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:4

insolence, supposing himself to be

a

great personage

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:6

accomplices were placed. Suddenly, like

a

fruit that falls of its

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:8

in his province, he despatched

an

army against them. Having captured

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:8

before him. And they raised

a

cry, pouring forth tears and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:9

afraid of them. Just as

a

lion sated from the hunt

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:11

For he loved him with

a

very affectionate and joyous heart

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:11

in his thoughtful oversight as

a

father to a son, and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:11

oversight as a father to

a

son, and openly aided him

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:12

the land. For he was

a

harsh man, brave and very

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:13

prosperity of the land by

a

mutual exchange of provinces and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:18

two difficult obstacles and winning

a

brave victory. In the first

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:18

was completely frozen over with

a

covering of snow

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:19

mountains as if marching on

a

flat road. The lords and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:21

a

long time past the Muslims

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:23

Amiuk with its province remained

a

great unhealed wound in the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:23

of former (princes) had made

an

impression. This state of affairs

turn) afflicted them. So conceiving

a

grand plan, he stole on

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:31

prince Gagik had also appointed

a

general to command the province

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:31

the house of the Akēats’ik’,

a

loyal and brave-hearted man

war, and shone out as

a

glorious and famous soldier in

came to him, saying: “Behold,

a

force of Muslims crossed into

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:34

set off in pursuit with

a

few troops, and came upon

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:37

this (at the hands) of

a

few, how shall we be

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:37

Struck with fear, they beat

a

retreat, and their evil plans

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:38

Smbat, king of Armenia, developed

a

grudge and tried to arouse

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:38

tried to arouse the Muslims

a

second time against the prince

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:41

more severe. By royal command

a

certain great ostikan gained the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:41

named Yusup’, son of Apusach,

a

proud and notable man, more

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:42

back the royal tribute. Not

a

few envoys with messages passed

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:43

Gagik, he had desired for

a

long time to see him

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:46

to mankind, becoming for him

a

mother of understanding and a

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:46

a mother of understanding and

a

nurse of wisdom

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:47

the Persian ruler Yusup’ was

a

man of powerful mind, but

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:47

splendid and blessed prince to

an

arduous investigation. Raising his eyes

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:48

and deeds, asking him for

a

solution; and he was assisted

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:51

him. He found him like

a

high mountain, immovable by the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:53

prince of Vaspurakan, had made

an

alliance with the Persian ruler

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:55

angered, and attacked Armenia with

an

enormous armed host. He inflicted

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:56

besieged the castle, and after

a

few days captured him like

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:56

few days captured him like

a

weak child

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:58

On his head he placed

a

crown of pure gold, artfully

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:59

He clothed him in

a

robe embroidered with gold, a

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:59

a robe embroidered with gold,

a

girdle and sword shining with

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:60

He set him on

a

horse splendidly caparisoned with a

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:60

a horse splendidly caparisoned with

a

golden harness, shining like the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:63

a

crown and wonderfully decorated robes

with the dignity of wearing

a

crown, especially a Christian and

of wearing a crown, especially

a

Christian and orthodox believer and

orthodox believer and son of

a

king, the hereditary and legitimate

it too audacious to repeat

a

second time that the tyrant

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:67

brought for the second time

a

crown and splendid garments from

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:67

and honoured King Gagik with

a

second glory even greater than

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:69

With the award of such

a

large number of cities and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:69

that land). He also sent

a

crown and splendid garments to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:71

wise man: “The mourning of

a

wise man lasts seven days

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:71

seven days, but that of

a

fool all his life.” He

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:71

life that soon comes to

an

end; he raised the eyes

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:72

the flesh for our sake,

a

pleasing gift was offered to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:72

offered to the Father in

a

sweet odour

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:75

peace in flowing torrents like

a

river or sea, which our

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 5:2

and having made (with him)

a

peace treaty, he went to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 5:3

he was planning to enjoy

a

peaceful existence, suddenly royal messengers

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 5:4

He set off with

a

numberless host of troops, leaving

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 5:4

defeated and he himself captured.

A

little later he was killed

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 6:2

king is the son of

a

maidservant

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 6:3

Again elsewhere he says: “

A

land is shaken by three

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 6:3

cannot resist the fourth. If

a

slave rules, he shakes the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:1

for me here to undertake

a

most splendid task, leaving it

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:1

splendid task, leaving it as

a

memorial to those who will

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:1

this land of Armenia as

a

father and guardian. In his

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:3

to all who love reading: “

An

avaricious man considers it preferable

a

fine.” And if he sees

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:3

me?” And if he sees

a

spring of crystal-pure water

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:4

But the character of

a

king who is not avaricious

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:4

free and unsullied by such

a

fearful affliction; he cares not

king undertook to build there

a

palace and pavilions and splendid

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:9

stones, placing the foundation at

a

fearful depth. And on top

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:9

facing the sea, he built

a

pavilion for gatherings which was

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:0

and those who constructed there

a

few buildings unworthy of mention

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:3

and recognising that it was

a

refuge from enemy raids, he

to build on it in

a

fearsome and amazing fashion

a

time, the great king astonishingly

a

stone embankment raised five cubits

a

line and raised a fortified

heroic and distinguished house

a

fortified wall around (the island

the wall he led into

a

narrow cavern difficult of access

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:6

on the island side, making

a

wonderfully calm and secure harbour

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:6

secure harbour for many ships—

a

construction superior to the city

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:7

that the place should become

a

refuge from all the raids

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:9

trees, which were watered from

a

sweet and never-failing spring

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:10

ordered one of these men,

a

wise and skillful architect, to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:10

and skillful architect, to construct

a

square palace, forty cubits wide

a

mass of pure mortar and

fusion of lead and bronze

a

bird in flight, without the

a

king first he must remove

to the imagination that if

an

intelligent man were to examine

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:14

minstrels and girls dancing in

an

admirable manner. There are bands

a

great labour for himself and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:15

are closed, they appear as

a

single piece

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:16

A

trustworthy official, one of the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:16

sides of the province as

a

great hill in the middle

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:19

great benefactor and ancestor of

a

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:0

distant lands. We shall give

a

faithful picture of it and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:1

bravery. Restraining their cheeks in

a

bridle, as it were, he

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:4

near the gates of Asorestan

a

fortress in the principality of

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:4

the principality of Ałdznik’ in

a

village called Kotom, which was

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:4

holy church, forming (with them)

a

temple of glory in place

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:6

Manuēl, whom we mentioned above,

a

man full of wisdom and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:6

skillfully built the church as

a

marvellous and wonderful construction. To

the sculptural relief (depicting) in

a

true likeness (the figures) beginning

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:7

and sides of the church

a

splendid frieze arranged in detailed

on flesh and appeared as

a

man. In a true likeness

appeared as a man. In

a

true likeness he arranged opposite

church on his arms like

a

gold vessel full of manna

a

golden box filled with perfume

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:11

of the church is set

a

gallery with a vaulted staircase

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:11

is set a gallery with

a

vaulted staircase going down from

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:11

to bottom, to act as

a

place of prayer for the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:14

Truly this was once

a

thirsty desert, but is now

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:15

bishops and princes, he celebrated

a

great and joyous festival with

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 10:2

a

certain man, Arab by race

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 10:3

So gathering

an

army, he unexpectedly and rapidly

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 10:4

of related blood, came with

a

numerous force to seek vengeance

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 10:6

warfare, fell upon him with

a

few troops and put him

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 10:11

Then the impious man gathered

an

army of some thirteen thousand

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 10:13

his armour and putting on

a

valiant mien, took the troops

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 10:15

Striking those impious ones like

a

spark among reeds, he routed

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 10:15

the plain, like sheaves in

a

full field in the days

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 11:1

In those days

a

group of Delmik troops advanced

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 11:2

to their own abodes after

a

great victory

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:1

that he would become such

a

man, from his mother’s womb

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:2

he also bestowed on him

a

luminous visage and glorious stature

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:2

and curly, carefully arranged above

a

dazzling white forehead in very

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:2

that shaded the eyes like

a

lily flowering in valleys, spreading

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:3

believe good news, shone with

a

luminous colour

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:4

His lips were like

a

red line; his teeth were

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:6

he reigned like Josiah over

a

new Israel, but (in a

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:6

a new Israel, but (in

a

way) superior to him perfected

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:7

of Easter, he arose like

a

groom from the wedding chamber

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:10

a

firebrand to brigands and repelled

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:14

an

inescapable trap for rebels

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:16

gifts unfailing. He was also

a

sweet-smelling garden, filled with

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:17

his own house he was

a

verdant plant with golden leaves

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:18

To his sons he was

a

school of virtue and an

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:18

a school of virtue and

an

ever-flowing source of wisdom

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:19

was open, and he was

an

unerring model

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:20

their fearsome winds he was

a

high mountain and unshakeable rock

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:21

a

consuming fire for the knavish

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:22

and barbarian tyrants he was

a

burning, perpetually turning nail

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:24

grand in his majesty like

a

powerful lion, and heightened in

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:25

night to gilded chambers like

a

dragon. The awe of his

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:25

the whole of Armenia; like

an

impregnable wall of bronze he

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 12:26

and his subjects he was

a

shade of secure defense, and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:1

My peoples will wander without

a

lord.” The race of Hagar

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:2

any hope or expectation; only

a

few remained of the Armenian

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:3

and there remained not even

a

cave which God did not

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:4

any young person. They are

a

nation wicked and cruel, a

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:4

a nation wicked and cruel,

a

nation that has not directed

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:6

At that time (there lived)

a

certain renowned man, related to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:9

rocky summit and settled in

a

hollow on the same mountain

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:10

province of Vaspurakan, which became

a

place of security for refugees

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:13

of Constantinople were held by

a

God-loving and pious man

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:14

emperor of the Greeks as

a

son to his father. The

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:17

was called Sultan Tułlup, launched

a

cavalry attack like an eagle

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:17

launched a cavalry attack like

an

eagle swooping on flocks of

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:18

In similar fashion,

night-watch, they entered. Putting

work, they mercilessly killed everybody,

a

history meriting much lamentation. It

a

spectacle most pitiable, capable of

as (easily as) reapers working

a

field

a

countless number, had assembled there

a

beautiful picture, whose ringlets of

a

densely populated city, became an

a

simple matter for God. As

very frightful thing, which, it

a

brigade of Byzantine cavalrymen guarding

remembrance forever of the unbelievable

Now this village had

me add to this narration

a

wondrous account which will strike

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:16

In

a

section of Paxra mountain which

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:16

is called Gaylaxazut, there was

an

ancient awan named Bazmaghbiwr (Many

a

resplendently stunning Cross had been

thought. The evening that this

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:20

arrived at the spot with

a

great multitude. Gathering up the

eternally that would serve as

a

notice to them, clear and

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:23

arrived, the (Byzantine) emperor sent

a

judge, whose name was Eghia

a

multitude of people assembled in

a

body to the confluence of

a

boat, were hastening to take
