a

result, he specified a time

As a result, he specified

a

time for the joyous wedding

Then there occurred

a

fearfully loud thundering from heaven

a

voice which said to them

wild pig and, like one

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 20:8

Then it came about that

a

vision from God was visited

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 20:9

describing the vision and saying: “

A

vision appeared to me this

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 20:9

appeared to me this evening.

A

man in the form of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 20:14

Then they quickly sent there

a

certain senior [naxarar] lord whose name

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 20:21

The naxarar Otay shouted in

a

loud voice, calling out: “Gregorios

a

distance that Gregory was coming

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 20:30

the ground, saying: “I am

a

man like you, and have

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 20:30

man like you, and have

a

body like yours. But you

might be converted and find

a

way to repentance

the grandee nobility together with

a

great mob of people, came

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 21:11

nor did many tribulations make

a

single one of them lose

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 21:18

became weakened in front of

a

single girl. For the power

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 21:22

earlier about your error that

a

fog of thick and murky

They made their death

a

faithful and firm seal of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 21:35

Or how could

a

man live for a single

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 21:35

could a man live for

a

single day in that terribly

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:5

And all the populace raised

a

cry and the king wept

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:5

separated from him even for

a

moment because of the terrible

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:6

ever went away from him

a

little, then the demons pounced

a

man endure so many tortures

hour the mere sight of

a

snake from afar, let alone

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:7

dwell in the midst of

a

mass of snakes for fifteen

Was it really possible for

a

single young girl to resist

giant, as you saw with

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:12

a

share of the crown of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 1:12

mercy will be for you

a

strong fortress and mighty tower

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 2:3

Like

a

wise doctor he tried to

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 2:3

as patients, and he like

a

skilled physician might heal their

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 2:6

They were gathered together in

a

numberless assemblage of men, jostling

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 2:6

other and sitting as at

a

banquet, to give their attention

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 3:1

they had been struck in

a

just judgment by the rod

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 3:2

changed into the form of

a

wallowing pig. For his whole

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 3:5

swinish form, cried out in

a

loud voice, he called out

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 3:5

and in the likeness of

a

four-footed beast ran from

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 3:6

But blessed Gregory prayed for

a

brief while, begging from the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 3:12

But he related to them

a

vision as follows

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

was an awesome vision of

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

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

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:18

of this edifice I saw

a

wonderful and divine throne of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:20

There was made

a

vast bluish sea, and the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:21

And I saw

a

numberless multitude of fiery altars

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:21

multitude of fiery altars, and

a

column on each altar, and

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:21

column on each altar, and

a

cross on each column. And

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:27

And there arose

a

torrent of fire which bore

a

road for these Northern regions

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:37

sweet odor [cf. II Cor. 2.15], like that of

a

rose-colored flower, of the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:44

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

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:70

preaching will be increased for

a

long time, and new, renewed

a

task has been put upon

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 6:1

And he ordered that

a

repository should be made for

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 6:9

baptism? Still, your willingness is

a

good sign for your salvation

a

shepherd and teacher by God’s

entirely in the form of

a

pig, except that he could

a

human. The claws of his

feet were like those of

a

pig; his face was like

a

snout; he had big tusks

a

huge boar, and his body

over with thick bristles like

a

hog

his face and head, wearing

a

hairshirt he had donned - and

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 7:2

had donned - and presenting quite

a

sight to behold

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 7:5

so that he might have

a

small share in the blessed

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 8:4

the city, King Trdat prepared

a

place there for the blessed

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 8:6

leave from saint Gregory for

a

seven-day journey so that

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 8:7

which no individual or even

a

multitude of men could move

a

giant’s strength, like Hayk

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 8:8

boulders he set up as

a

threshold, as though in exchange

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 8:9

of his own hands, as

a

crown of victory

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 8:20

honorably enclosed the place with

a

high wall and with doors

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 9:3

a

pig, suddenly trembled and the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 9:4

a

newly-born infant. He was

general peace. They agreed to

a

goal: “That united we may

the Diwan secretary of Ormazd -

a

temple of learned instruction. They

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 10:6

had taken the forms of

a

multitude of cavalry and a

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 10:6

a multitude of cavalry and

a

brigade of infantry armed with

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 10:6

with spears and flags. With

a

great cry they fled into

daughter of man, has forced

a

copy of the all-saving

a

loud voice in front of

a

teacher of the law by

it happened after this, that

a

marvelous vision from God appeared

God appeared to Gregory in

a

vision, so that he would

one’s wisdom - with how great

a

love they loved their Lord

that our king even became

a

pig and pastured with the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 14:12

a

martyr and an even greater

With great honor and

a

few days

church to Christ

canon to their pupils, taking

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 25:1

Like Moses, who suddenly became

a

teacher of the law to

province and chose for himself

a

spot for repose in desert

him down. He had made

a

rule for himself that all

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

a

vegetarian life, being shut up

shut up without light, wearing

a

hairshirt, and sleeping on the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 26:1

retreat of his own. However

bishop his son, Aristakes, whom

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- 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- 29:3

the assembly, leaving on earth

a

name for righteousness and establishing

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

elsewhere: “Write this vision on

a

tablet and establish it in

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 31:12

a

perfect man. He truly became

true man

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

a

part of our history which

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 1:3

a

part which is the ending

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

Vrtanes was going about with

a

few attendants to perform the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 3:14

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

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- 5:8

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- 5:17

was no longer tricked as

a

lad might be, but having

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

and changed his mind. Taking

a

wild horse, they bound the

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

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:4

some notable spot and held

a

review by brigade, banner, and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:4

ordered that each man carry

a

stone, bring it and place

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 7:4

and place it to make

a

mound. However, many stones were

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

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- 7:15

places would serve them as

a

refuge. There was an extremely

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- 8:17

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- 9:9

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- 10:9

to have been split from

a

large piece of wood by

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

was visited upon all species,

a

symbol of their fathers’ deeds

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- 10:42

robe, the emperor was wearing

a

hair-cloth for the love

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

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- 14:18

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

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- 14:58

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- 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

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

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 19:6

appeared in the form of

a

bolt of lightning, striking the

a

son called Vrik

a

period of peace, he was

In the land of Atrpatakan

a

high-ranking individual named Shapuh

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:3

agitation was stirred up as

a

result of some insignificant matter

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:3

of some insignificant matter by

a

certain vile man who was

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:3

who was not less than

a

demon [dew] in frenzy named Pisak

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:4

the land of Atrpatakan as

a

border-guard

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:5

that time king Tiran possessed

a

horse which everyone greatly marvelled

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:7

he had become friendly. Taking

a

letter from him, he brought

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:9

two kings, Tiran sought out

a

horse possessing the same color

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:9

he could not find such

a

large horse anywhere. He found

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:9

large horse anywhere. He found

a

horse of the same roan

a

single hide, he concealed it

a

letter of accusation against the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:21

rich in game, nor make

a

great slaughter of game for

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:25

a

few days they made merry

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:28

Tiran was alone except for

a

few attendants, keepers of the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:29

Iranian general had arrived with

a

dense brigade - he had some

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:31

Iranians invited the king to

a

clear sign in memory of

Although they assembled and organized

a

brigade, ready to pursue Varaz

But they took

a

part of the land of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 20:43

a

ruin

Բուզանդ/Buzand 3- 21:0

and escaped to Iran by

a

fugitive, thanks to a swift

out to meet them, in

a

shiny robe, from which rays

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 10:9

Then the saints entered into

a

conversation and note: “Those saints

a

difficult situation: some are in

The officials gave him

a

three-day deadline, and three

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 11:6

a

document of displeasure and accusation

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 11:10

how he dared to detain

a

man such as Nerses, great

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 11:12

Vasak, his general, to assemble

a

force, to organize brigades, and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 12:1

This man, Xad, was

a

native of the Karin district

a

royal mansion there

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 12:19

As

a

result of this, the blessed

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 12:21

He note: “I am

a

locum tenens, and have no

a

vow that he would never

Now the mardpet Hayr was

a

man more wicked and morally

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:7

to pray and to receive

a

greeting from the holy archbishop

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:8

blessed patriarch Nerses ordered that

a

a

walk from the episcopal residence

a

valley dense with forests of

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- 14:23

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- 15:26

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- 15:48

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- 15:60

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

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- 16:2

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- 17:0

Shapuh, king of Iran, initiated

a

persecution against those of the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 17:1

a

great persecution of members of

a

Christian shall be removed and

a

Christian

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 18:1

the Mamikonean tohm, came on

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

brigade and prepare troops

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:10

King Arshak with

a

multitude of naxarars went through

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:12

already arrived and encamped in

a

multitude as dense as the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:17

they were impatient waiting in

a

foreign land and considered it

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:21

so much so that not

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:25

Armenia, for having accomplished such

a

deed, displaying such bravery, attacking

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:25

such an enemy, waging such

a

battle and winning it as

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:25

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

and a great tun, such

a

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- 20:44

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- 21:8

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- 22:4

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

the land of Iran on

a

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 22:19

one of the battles, not

a

single one of the Armenians

a

believer in God, but he

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 23:3

Then he made

a

vow with Shapuh, king of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 23:3

build an atrushan, that is,

a

temple for worshipping the fire

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 23:12

After freeing

a

countless, immeasurable host, all who

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 24:0

a

leader for the Iranian king

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 24:3

as their leader, came through

a

different area and raided Armenia

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 24:4

about with his multitudes like

a

flood

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 24:6

a

multitude of men were trampled

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 24:6

were trampled by elephants and

a

countless number of tender children

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 24:11

because the malefactor Meruzhan devised

a

strategem against this secure fortress

a

foreign land

a

secure spot somewhere in the

a

place difficult of access

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 25:1

mustered troops, surrounding himself with

a

host as incalculable as the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 25:5

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

guide the notorious Meruzhan of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 31:7

a

guide

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 34:2

a

single one of them

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 36:5

But Meruzhan survived,

a

fugitive

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 37:1

as the king of Armenia,

a

relative, came on king Shapuh’s

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 38:1

Then Aghanayozan who was

a

Pahlaw from the Arsacid tohm

a

target and shot it full

A

certain one of the Iranian

A

certain one of the Iranian

he seeks men for abomination,

a

practise he has fallen into

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 45:5

Only Meruzhan Arcruni survived, as

a

fugitive

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, he wanted to

They made a wall in

a

place called Joray, they put

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 50:14

him his sister Ormizduxt for

a

wife. He bestowed upon him

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 51:16

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

hrovartak in humility to Shapuh

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- 53:4

him salt, to seal with

a

signet-ring bearing a wild

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 53:4

with a signet-ring bearing

a

wild boar, and he sent

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 53:9

Arshak and threatened him as

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

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:3

oath. Like a father to

a

son, I thought to do

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:6

a

ditch and their co-religionists

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:15

two loads of soil and

a

pitcher of water

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:18

Now, should he speak with

a

rough manner while walking over

In

a

few days they brought what

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:23

loved you like you were

a

son, I wanted to marry

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:26

Behold, I am

a

servant in your hand. Do

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:33

the Iranian king. There was

a

custom that the Armenian king

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:36

a

moment he remained seated there

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:38

I will kill you with

As

There the Armenians would rest

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- 1:18

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

a

servant turn against his master

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 2:38

armed and helmeted, girt with

a

sword and shield in hand

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- 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- 8:187

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

understanding with them and make

a

pact that the alliance would

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:200

not hesitate to enter into

a

pact with an oath in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:200

own religion; they also took

a

Christian oath to keep a

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 8:200

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- 9:220

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- 10:248

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

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

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:21

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 4- 1:24

entered the fortified places. Opening

a

breach, he snatched away and

lesser noble of the Amatunik

a

priest called Zangak, a priest

Zangak, a priest called Peter,

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 2:39

who had stumbled and made

a

force of many soldiers. He

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 2:41

them; it was addressed to

a

man called Vasak, one of

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 2:50

Huns with whom they had

a

treaty

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 3:55

distributing gifts to others in

a

friendly way

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 3:60

covenant of virtue. He wrote

a

report about them to the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:0

CHAPTER FIVE - For

a

Second Time the Armenians Oppose

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:2

the love of God for

a

weapon shrank at nothing in

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:6

his soldiers, for he had

a

firm hold on the royal

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:10

the plain of Artaz for

a

muster of sixty-six thousand

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:12

be in no way for

a

material cause but for spiritual

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:15

fought at the command of

a

temporal king

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:16

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- 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- 2:38

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

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- 3:65

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- 3:75

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- 4:98

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

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- 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

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 1:23

Every man was

a

church for himself, was himself

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 1:23

church for himself, was himself

a

priest. Each one’s body was

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 1:23

priest. Each one’s body was

a

holy altar, and their souls

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 2:35

yet because of their oaths

a

priest, whose name was Arshen

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

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 3:64

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- 3:75

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- 4:92

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- 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- 6:127

nobles to be invited to

a

banquet

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:130

up in his finery with

a

numerous entourage, they began to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:130

transitory—and even that in

a

few days you will lose

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:134

the title for himself as

a

reward at court

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:138

him in the garb of

a

condemned man

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:139

hand and foot, set like

a

woman on a mare, led

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 6:139

set like a woman on

a

mare, led off, and delivered

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 6- 7:164

tomb, for he died like

a

dog and was thrown out

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 1:4

A

certain Hun of royal descent

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 1:7

the suspicion he might be

a

spy enter his heart

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 1:8

For he had learned

a

little earlier, and Bel as

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 1:10

hard that, overcoming them with

a

small number of troops, he

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 1:11

ignominy, he moderated his pride

a

little and realized that all

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 1:17

little more knowledgeable

a

command with regard to the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 1:21

Furthermore—what they consider

a

great glory in their erring

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 1:22

magism. But beyond these is

a

further sixth, which they call

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 1:25

them and cast them into

a

damp and gloomy dungeon

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:26

that two barley loaves and

a

jar and one-half of

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:29

prayers they would rest for

a

while in joyful gratitude, with

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:32

It is

a

long time that the guarding

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:32

remember any prisoner living for

a

month in this dungeon

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:33

you: If you have received

a

command for their death and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:38

them, it is impossible for

a

mere man to be clothed

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:42

he had not seen in

a

confused way, but the illumination

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:45

and take the prisoners to

a

really dry upper-room and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:47

he said, “to move to

a

dry upper-room. Arise quickly

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:48

Joseph began to speak in

a

gentle way to the executioner

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 2:50

even consider it to be

a

perfect favor so that we

of mankind and put on

a

passing body, accomplished the whole

died and was placed in

a

tomb, rose by his divine

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 3:58

prison, he looked in through

a

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

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 3:75

groups he saw: one was

a

thousand, another thirty-six, another

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 7- 4:77

these tokens of honor as

a

pledge

a

large portion of your inexhaustible

such fashion they prayed for

a

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

price was paid by the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 15:1

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 15:12

a

short time later, resisted by

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 15:9

the naxarars of Armenia requested

a

kat’oghikos from the court, and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 15:9

and king Vahram gave them

a

certain Syrian named Brk’isho. He

Unable to long endure such

a

foul and unworthy arrangement, they

Give us another man as

native order, who will be

a

supervisor, and firmly keep the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 15:14

a

short while (Shamuel] died in

ranks of ministers, seated in

a

heavy drowse from the intensity

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:5

the celebrants catch their breath

a

bit and conduct the canon

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:11

heavens opened, through which shone

a

great light that filled the

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- 17:16

table were Communion bread and

a

cluster of grapes according to

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

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:21

breeze, I caught sight of

a

large salver on the throne

of the salver there was

a

folded silk cope, and beside

silk cope, and beside it

a

golden globe and a piece

it a golden globe and

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- 17:43

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

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:50

of the world, three and

a

half decades will be decreed

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:50

fruits of the three and

a

half branches

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:53

Upon this was

a

salver made of silver, for

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:53

pure like silver tried in (

a

furnace of) the earth [Psalm 11:6 LXX].” When

a

few lines in gold leaf

for the other line and

a

half that appeared to you

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:61

the abomination that causes desolation,

a

king from the Arsacid line

a

patriarch from the line of

and bearing bitter torments for

a

long time will he then

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 17:63

he then be sentenced to

a

accept and consent to such

a

trunk, (each body) being clearly

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 57:29

as though in writing. Such

a

sweet fragrance wafted from the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 57:30

bodies in linen cloth in

a

fitting manner, they buried them

rage, and wanted to give

a

severe order

suddenly he stopped himself for

a

moment and was quiet. Then

a

long time he had longed

light the like of which

false and fraudulent men on

a

road they did not know

be unable to arrest such

mass of cavalry. No, you

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 78:5

cavalrymen of Armenia saw such

a

multitude of Iranian troops which

Valiantly taking

part of the Iranian brigade

a

hrovartak which king Peroz had

brigade there in the land

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

other parasites around you, taking

a

heap of ashes and giving

a

moment we might enjoy the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 80:14

women, we will give you

a

sign; test and examine it

Thus, having sent such

a

message to Hazarawuxt, the two

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 81:1

killed when other Iranians, becoming

a

mob, suffocated them

a

nearby village under the authority

torrent which was near a

while, at a place where

a

place where reapers of the

a

haystack to evade his (would

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

were not those worthy of

a

clean soul, the impure (spirit

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:7

accompany his troops); rather, in

a

rage, he himself went after

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:7

after (Vahan). He encamped in

a

certain spot near where he

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 82:7

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- 83:3

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

a

single arrow I will scatter

unconcernedly as though he were

a

wing of the Iranian force

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- 85:0

the district of Basean, to

a

village called Aluar

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

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

fight with me. We stipulated

a

boundary over which we would

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:1

deeds are not those of

a

man of this period such

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- 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

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:11

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- 89:8

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

to him willingly and with

a

joyful heart

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

sad face and his gaze

some hours. At last with

groan he began to reveal

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:6

an unknown land near to

a

mountain that rose high from

As I gazed for

like the sun we made

These came into being from

a

terrible earthquake, as say those

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 31:9

They say that Argavan made

a

feast in honor of Artashēs

To give

and his various deeds is

a

task dear to me as

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 32:2

task dear to me as

a

historian in my narrative concerning

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 32:5

or more called Aramazd is

a

certain bald Aramazd

participation of our Zarmayr with

a

small Ethiopian army, and his

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:6

your desire goes beyond such

a

divine limit, so that everything

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:9

we are here acting like

a

wise or like an unskilled

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:11

the Assyrians helped Priam with

a

small Ethiopian army, was there

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:3

then how

a

certain Hrudēn bound him with

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:4

up and led him to

a

cave in the mountain and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:12

anyone be another self to

a

friend? There is no such

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:13

by my own hand, giving

a

meaning to their irrationality. And

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

few days in the region

a

great pit of sulfur

Macedonian army, but in the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 2:10

winter season, confronted him in

a

narrow spot and perished with

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 2:10

army. And Arshak ruled over

a

third of this world, as

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 3:3

in our first book, was

a

valiant and prudent man. He

a

beginning to his benevolent actions

long thrower, and he cast

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 5:4

and he cast his javelins

a

great distance like swift-winged

To this land he gave

a

prettier form, reducing the mountainous

a

rule among the Arsacids that

that these miracles are not

a

mere man’s but God’s

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:29

But because the Romans have

a

custom not to recognize a

Therefore he, Smbat, wandered for

a

long time on foot over

And because Smbat was

A

king to give him as

a

gift whatever he might ask

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 43:5

this and gave to Smbat

a

part of the Assyrian army

a

pact with Eruand to kill

a

saber, scattering his brains over

a

blow he died, having held

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 47:4

a

crown decorated with sapphires, rings

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 52:4

someone else was ruling as

a

tyrant over the land of

Therefore as

a

just reward for his sendees

a

boastful man, expert in hunting

and Christians, whose bishop was

At that time he sent

a

powerful army to the regions

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

his days, they say, lived

a

young man of the Andzavats’i

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 62:11

they saw that he was

a

select man and moderate in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 62:12

a

Persian friend of his who

one years and died on

a

journey, overwhelmed by northern snow

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:2

married his daughter Eraneak to

a

certain Trdat of the Bagratuni

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:2

daughter of the valiant Smbat,

a

spirited and powerful man, short

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:3

and complaining, lamenting that she,

a

beautiful woman, lived with an

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:3

noble family she lived with

a

man of ignoble origin

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 63:6

of Siunik’, invited him to

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- 63:9

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

king of Persia. He enjoyed

a

long life of forty-two

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:2

that he was captured by

a

Greek maiden at the time

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:4

And he was captured by

a

princess who ruled those lands

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:5

in marriage the maiden Ṙop’i,

a

relative of his. But when

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:11

whole great reliable labor into

a

purposeless and superfluous work, for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:1

surrounding of Nor K’aḷak’ with

a

wall, the war against the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:3

birth on the road into

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

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:9

the leadership of their king,

a

certain Vnasep Surhap, they crossed

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:10

Vaḷarsh opposed them with

a

great force of warlike soldiers

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:10

the plain. Pursuing them for

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

own authority he set up

a

stele with an inscription in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 66:3

for he became famous as

a

historian in the days of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 66:3

Antoninus. At first, he was

a

disciple of the sect of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 66:4

was bold enough to write

a

letter to Antoninus, and he

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 66:7

Here later Vaḷarsh established

a

popular festival at the beginning

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 67:3

and his relatives and gives

a

summary account of the death

a

brief account of these events

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 67:8

from the beginning and giving

a

true account in full detail

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 68:8

Arshavir had three sons and

a

daughter, as I said earlier

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 68:10

And Abgar established between them

a

covenant and treaty that Artashēs

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 70:2

the Greek language and wrote

a

history of the deeds of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 70:3

He also translated

a

book “the History of the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 70:3

the first kings,” composed by

a

fellow captive of his, Barsuma

helped him by means of

a

letter ordering that he be

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 72:5

Having acquired such

a

multitude of troops he marched

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 72:5

a

royal residence

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 73:2

save for one youth whom

a

brief period: the emperors Decius

a

fugitive to Assyria. They drove

a

plain where the relics of

a

story of the wonderful old

a

marvelous scholar who in his

antiquarians, we have given you

a

faithful account

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 76:4

a

wilderness

a

certain noble called Awtay from

a

tranquil lair

Artashir organized Armenia in

a

splendid fashion and reestablished its

certain Tachat, who was from

descended from Gushar Haykazn, abducted

And wishing to drive

a

chariot in the races of

a

great famine. Finding no stores

However, he gave his entourage

a

place in which to settle

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 81:15

in which to settle and

a

stipend for food; he changed

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 82:2

without chronology, therefore we made

a

detailed investigation and found that

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 82:2

that he came here with

a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 82:4

with great constancy. He was

a

just and persevering man, reliable

a

modest maiden, like a nun

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 82:5

a

great number of children in

great number of children in

a

basin and to wash himself

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 83:13

his recompense from God: in

a

vision he received a command

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 83:13

in a vision he received

a

command from the apostles to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 84:2

advance on Armenia, he appointed

a

time for his own arrival

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 84:10

and he received him with

a

sworn oath. But he did

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 84:11

him that he was truly

a

sincere ally until he ordered

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 84:15

promised, and he made him

a

prince in the place of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 85:2

into two, assailing them like

a

giant

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 85:3

rolled in the dust. Like

a

net full of fish emptied

Drawing from his horse’s armor

a

strap of sinew wound around

a

violent pull. He agilely wielded

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 85:6

cut in half by such

a

fearsome arm, turned in flight

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 86:2

A

certain woman called Nunē, one

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 86:6

enveloped, which became for him

a

cause of eternal light. In

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 86:9

She received

a

command to destroy the idols

a

very small river

to the hill and saw

a

piece of hewn wood, no

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 86:13

work of craftsmen, more than

a

few despised it on the

their stumbling, sent from heaven

a

pillar of cloud, and the

the mountain was filled with

a

sweet odor, and there was

was heard the sound of

a

host singing psalms exceedingly sweetly

sweetly, and there shone out

a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 86:16

a

cross, the same in shape

around without pomp or excess,

a

stranger to the world and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 86:16

truly, crucified, making this world

a

practice for death, by her

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 86:16

for death, by her words

like uncivilized barbarians but like

a

well-mannered civilized nation

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 21:2

banditry, and he burned alive

a

certain Rodanus, the majordomo; for

Rodanus had not restored to

a

widow the property he had

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 21:4

Theodosius should attack Armenia with

a

strong army

reconciliation

fierce battle, and many Persians

So Shapuh advanced, after writing

a

letter to them in the

Arshak even more presumptuously undertook

a

senseless project

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 27:3

of Mount Masis he built

a

town as a gathering place

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 27:3

a

very successful war against the

But Arshak, coming with

a

Georgian force, gathered his few

A

fierce battle took place, and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 29:11

all the other nobles established

a

covenant that thenceforth the king

the grounds that he had

a

quarrel with his uncle Nerseh

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 31:9

had no success save in

a

single respect, for he was

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 31:9

fastidious in his dress and

a

lover of horses. For this

a relative of Arshak’s, with

a

powerful force

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 34:4

anxious by this, Arshak sent

a

message to the leader of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 34:5

me to hide somewhere for

a

brief while until I catch

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 34:5

blessings from me as from

a

close relative

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 35:8

the same time there arrived

a

command from King Shapuh that

a

large army under Mehrujan and

a

large army for him under

a

storm blows the leaves from

could see as it were

a

wall: most of them, dressed

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 37:12

compare to nothing other than

a

mountain of adamant descending to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 37:13

one could see them like

a

powerful river spreading out to

in avarice but lived in

a

liberal fashion

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 38:5

because he was debauched with

a

shameful passion for which he

a

wicked plot. He was unable

a

member of the family and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 39:3

over quarters, which led to

a

battle; the emperor was victorious

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 39:4

this, he thought that such

a

disturbance would last a long

such a disturbance would last

a

And by

a

stroke of luck he unexpectedly

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 39:6

fought fiercely and put up

a

brave resistance. But the victorious

There one could see

a

new Achilles jumping over the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:2

Shapuh realized that Arcadius was

a

deceitful man, he made overtures

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:3

Arcadius agreed to make

a

treaty, especially at the urging

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:4

divide Mesopotamia and Armenia by

a

new boundary

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:5

was better to rule over

a

smaller region and serve a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:5

a smaller region and serve

a

Christian king than to control

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:8

not bear to live under

a

Persian ruler, they followed me

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:9

Shapuh heard this he made

a

certain Khosrov from the same

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:12

without shepherds or shepherds without

a

good overseer, we have therefore

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:12

therefore made as your king

a

certain Khosrov of your own

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 43:2

heard that Shapuh had appointed

a

Christian Arsacid king and when

suggested that he, Sahak had

and over; nowhere was there

a

foothold

having informed Arshak, he ordered

a

box bound with iron to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 46:6

a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:12

with the great emperor like

a

truly dear brother

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:17

for your preparing for us

a

refuge. Therefore, I inform you

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

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:29

in Armenia to serve as

a

refuge for yourselves and our

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:30

of your son-in-law,

a

general and have inscribed Mesrop

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:35

your good renown among such

a

barbarous nation. Yet we do

spot, as if invited by

a

divine summons. These they immediately

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 58:5

hold the country, had proposed

a

treaty through Smbat the aspet

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 58:7

enemies from enemies and by

a

just death the unjust death

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 58:9

of Armenia to him without

a

Persian governor. He reigned for

provinces, he decided to build

a

city in the province of

in the province of Karin,

a

fertile land, rich in water

their gentle course grow into

a

sea with the appearance of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 59:3

sea with the appearance of

a

marsh. In it are innumerable

the marsh are canes and

a

multitude of reeds; the plains

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 59:4

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- 59:10

the city with arms and

a

garrison and named it Theodosiopolis

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 60:8

his disciples. At that time

a

certain Ardzil was king of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 61:2

as being the mother of

a

man and not the mother

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 61:3

a

beginning he claimed, but was

Sons, whereby the Trinity became

a

Quaternity

a

very healthy climate

to Attica, where we stayed

a

while in Athens

own king, and in bringing

a

Persian as lord of this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:5

So we must endure for

a

while the man’s faults until

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

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:9

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

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:9

impure of life, but not

a

fire worshipper. He is weak

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:10

exchange my sick sheep for

a

healthy wild beast whose health

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:12

king of Persia, Vṙam, with

a

certain Surmak of Artskē, an

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 64:2

princes sought from the latter

a

denunciation of Artashir, but he

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 64:4

So he adopted

a

seductive tone and note: “Since

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 64:4

a

rank and dignity equal to

a

murderous sword

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 64:9

he sent them off with

a

Persian Marzban whose name was

a

year before Surmak was expelled

a

Syrian, Brkisho

For three years he led

a

dissolute and prodigal life, seizing

a

vicar: Vachē, lord of the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 65:4

a

rival and antipatriarch to Sahak

he set free, leaving him

a

few villages from the same

the Great stood up, adopting

a

modest and grave demeanor as

for an oration, and with

a

diffident expression and an even

deeds; he added to this

a

refutation of the senseless blasphemies

their religion and finished with

a

marvelous exposition of the faith

spoke so freely before such

a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 65:10

let him be counted in

a

lower rank among the other

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 65:11

try to soften Vṙam like

a

persuasive charmer

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 65:14

I consider you to be

a

man with compassion equal to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 66:3

despised. For although they endured

a

thousand evils from him, they

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 66:8

appeared in sleep to him

a

long time before as a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 66:8

a long time before as

a

revelation of the future

a

mortal illness befell Sahak the

a

place very familiar to him

Although he was born

a

mortal, he left an immortal

life; and he led such

a

life that there was no

a

eulogy worthy of this holy

Then there arose

a

tumult in the crowd that

He took Mesrop’s body with

a

worthy escort to his own

a

bad example in mocking us

Jeremiah, awake and lament like

a

prophet over the miseries we

a

terrible and dreadful plan, in

faith, and putting on like

a

strong breast-plate zeal for

a

moment of time defeated the

a

suppression of all the privileges

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:2

king Peroz sent against him

a

large army of Huns. He

A

dreadful slaughter occurred on both

a

massacre. After pursuing the fleeing

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- 8:9

a

short time, then died. After

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:11

that time, before this event,

certain prince Vahan, prince of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:12

a

siege they destroyed it from

But suddenly

a

great tumult fell on them

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:13

built near the city, into

a

store-house. They (the Greeks

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

Khosrov, came in person with

a

host of fully armed troops

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 8:17

the multitude of fugitives like

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

father to the whole country

He built

a

city and named it Veh

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:3

a

raid the region of Cilicia

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 9:6

Then after

a

few days he fell asleep

in that same year came

a

certain Vardan Vshnasp; but he

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

a

splendid victory. He stayed for

a

battle in Vanand at the

a

campaign in Shirakawan and was

a

victory’. Returning from there he

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

forces and went off, taking

a

multitude of brave and warlike

a

trusted messenger with very fast

a

large army and seized the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 11:6

a

favourable response. He received an

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- 11:17

Then he wrote again

a

second letter

a

royal land someone who was

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:4

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

a

letter to be written, and

a

plot of his own step

Daniel had earlier prophesied such

a

disaster which befell the land

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 44:9

as on the feet of

a

man, and the heart of

He arose and went with

and wrong to do such

a

thing in this place.’

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 44:14

attacked him and struck him

a

personal favour to have mercy

a

friendly way and with the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 44:20

He appointed for him

a

stipend and sustenance from the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 44:22

the Greeks, but thought of

a

trick. He requested permission from

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 44:23

the royal permit. He boarded

a

ship and crossed the sea

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 44:23

the sea. Travelling rapidly like

a

bird he quickly reached Tayk’

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 44:27

curopalates and to be given

a

crown of that rank and

day of the month, on

a

Sunday at dawn, the Ismaelites

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:1

at dawn, the Ismaelites raised

a

yell in the fortress from

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:2

troops, and none survived save

a

few who escaped on foot

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:2

and he crushed Ismael with

a

great slaughter. Two princes of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:2

a

great victory for the Armenian

the battle [100] select horses as

a

gift. When the king received

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:5

to be prepared. He boarded

a

ship and undertook an attack

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:8

St Gregory. There he built

a

church in the name of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:8

Angels, who had appeared as

a

multitude of heavenly hosts in

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:9

He built the church as

a

tall edifice, incomparably wonderful, worthy

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:9

it. He brought water, directed (

a

channel) of the river, and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:9

and surrounded his residence with

a

high wall, beautifully constructed, to

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:11

So, they wrote

a

complaint to Constans, the Greek

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:11

king, with the patriarch, gave

a

command, and they wrote an

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:11

Armenians that they should effect

a

union of faith with Rome

further numberless multitude of wonderful

a

man there from the province

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:13

They all decided to make

a

response to the letter

We have

a

commandment from the inspired prophets

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:10

profusion of sects. Furthermore, the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:16

Persian king. Hence, he commanded

a

disputation to be held, and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:21

The king commanded

a

search to be made in

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:22

doctor. Then king Khosrov ordered

a

copy of the orthodox faith

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:29

begotten, God and man, like

a

lamp. (Paul) of Tarsus declares

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:29

there is no mediator of

a

single person’, because the unity

a

distinct and unconfused union, ineffable

a

solid foundation in the holy

However, he was confuted by

a

certain bishop in front of

a

declaration); he had anathematized the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 49:8

a

complaint against that bishop: ’He

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 7:7

and so they treacherously planned

a

fatal ruination for them

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 7:8

A

brigade of the infidels went

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 7:8

servants and threw him into

a

ditch. When morning had dawned

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 7:10

Then they initiated

a

search and found the dead

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 7:12

their satanic father, who was

a

murderer from the very start

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 7:17

eternal life on them through

a

transitory death

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:3

separated and departed, going to

a

plain called Ar’estakoghm on the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:3

on the Vaspurakan border where

a

certain monk resided, in order

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:3

matters. For the monk was

a

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

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 9:11

by reading your letter. Like

a

brave shepherd concerned about his

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 9:13

laid it to rest in

a

grave in glory

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 9:15

a

second time to the land

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 9:15

land of the Armenians with

a

large force, in the eighteenth

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:1

Here is

a

description of his deeds. In

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:1

a

grudge he held against Curopalate

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

name is glorified has become

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

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

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- 10:24

locks, and surrounded it with

a

moat filled with water to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:24

shall rebuild it. I was

a

twelve-year-old lad then

red apron

part of the land of

mighty river, called Botis

a

response of this sort: “Could

number corresponding to the number

a

few men who leaped onto

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

the camp rabble, Maslama cut

a

path through the Caucasus Mountains

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- 13:13

ass and the other on

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- 14:47

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- 14:83

mixture of the sexes, such

a

person would not be deceiving

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:84

to us to proceed from

a

birth so pure, what will

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:84

will be (the purity) of

a

divine birth, which proceeds from

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:84

divine birth, which proceeds from

a

spontaneous, an ever sufficient light

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- 14:107

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

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- 14:141

His disciples that He was

a

mere man, such an apparition

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

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- 14:159

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

was nevertheless created not by

a

simple command, but by the

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

women, as if it were

a

matter of tilling fields. Nor

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:195

Is there indeed

a

worse blasphemy than that of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:195

known that therein he committed

a

sin before God, for which

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:200

In

a

speaking of Satan and the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:206

the vision of Isaiah, whereby

a

rider appears to him mounted

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:206

mounted on an ass and

a

camel. The meaning of the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:207

A

little later on the Prophet

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:207

Prophet says: “I saw riders,

a

pair of horsemen one on

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:207

ass and the other on

a

camel.” [Isa. 21:7]. Those two riders are

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:216

ourselves the name of ’saints’,

a

name precious and incomparable, as

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:216

You shall be called by

a

new name which the mouth

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:219

was the reason for such

a

reign? God alone knows; but

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 15:1

As

a

result of this letter (‘Umar

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 16:0

After (‘Umar)

a

certain Yazid (Yazkert) (Yazid) [II, 720-724] ruled

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 16:0

for six years. He was

a

filthy man who wrought acts

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 16:3

And thus did he receive

a

shackles and threw him into

a

prison of unbearable narrowness and

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 32:6

died there in tribulation, like

period—not even one full

a

sword. He departed from this

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

the fortitude of dying like

a

martyr, in return for which

king had been crucified on

a

tall beam, some believers, as

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

father suffered the death of

a

martyr, Ashot, like an eagle

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 50:9

our land. At first, in

a

short period, he reconquered and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 50:19

the position of honor of

a

monarch and entrusted the future

a

sword from the chest down

then, with the stroke of

a

double-edged sword at the

direction of the head stooped

a

little over the cleavage at

presented himself to Christ as

a

reasonable sacrifice together with all

soul that was redeemed. Their

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

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

a

period of seven years. For

small amount of allowance, and

Thus death spread in

matter of few days, and

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

clever declaration succumbed in every

desert, in the manner of

mother deprived of her children

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:32

a

gift which is worthy of

acknowledged fear of you as

a

protective bastion against the enemies

imperial majesties, as if in

a

beautiful city, the nuptial veil

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:40

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

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:53

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

majesties, and reach God in

a

tranquil state

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:69

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

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:73

a restful living quarter and

a

peaceful life within your august

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:74

by turning them first into

a

people of the Lord, and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:75

majesties; should I, who am

a

humble pastor of my flock

in wonderful tranquility and in

a

perfect state of peace. Exult

Him, who crowned you with

a

magnificently glittering diadem decked with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:2

worthy of the lot of

a

martyr, thereupon immediately sent a

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:2

a martyr, thereupon immediately sent

a

certain T’eodoros Vaslikos in search

to make haste to pay

a

visit to him in order

than his gaherec’ princes with

a

proper throne, and unlike the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:5

distinction befitting the progeny of

a

king. He treated Ashot almost

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:6

the title “the son of

a

martyr”, and “my beloved son

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:6

a

girdle studded with gems for

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:9

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

the Lord, and cut off

a

twig from the ash tree

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:24

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

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:33

a

few days Yusuf urgently summoned

received him with honor, set

a

generous allowance, gave presents and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:38

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

very small amount of provisions

the Lord, Who could pursue

a

thousand foes with one hand

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 57:7

their lines of battle with

a

huge outroar, and armed with

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- 58:13

Gurgen, and receiving from him

a

great number of soldiers, arrived

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 58:14

died. He was survived by

a

son, his heir, still under

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:2

assistance of the king with

a

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:3

en masse, he also gathered

a

large melange of daring but

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:6

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

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:19

father-in-law Gurgen through

a

messenger, and that these were

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:20

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- 60:13

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- 60:22

us, just like that between

a

real father and his beloved

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- 60:32

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- 62:14

taken into custody, and after

a

few days deprived all of

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- 63:8

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- 63:15

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

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

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

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:16

in that place, but like

a

serpent that releases its venom

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:24

is in Persia, he sent

a

certain man by the name

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:27

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

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- 65:16

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

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:20

ganjagin. Here I had built

a

church constructed with solid polished

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:20

had founded this place as

a

monastery for celibate priests

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:21

reached Biwrakan, I immediately sent

As

Then, at

a

gallop he fell bravely and

headlong to the ground. Although

thrown into the shade in

a

crevice of the rock and

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

a

strong force to the mountain

a

convincing demonstration following one mode

a

view to information from what

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:21

had said previously, and not

personal effort to invent writing

little pause in our narrative

country in the East about

term of life whose many

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:24

many years were as but

a

day. It had no need

It had no need of

a

very little below the angels

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

of the snake in finding

Fourthly, because (it was)

a

command to keep away from

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- 4:38

called Nerełibd and who was

a

of his reign, Senek’erim gathered

a

numerous army against him, captured

liberal stipend arranged for him

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- 6:10

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- 6:18

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

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:36

they began to act in

a

filthy fashion until they brought

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:36

dwellings. 36 For it is written: “

A

just king sets his country

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:36

country aright; the ruin of

a

country is an impious king

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

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- 1:11

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- 1:25

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

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

a

seven-branch candlestick hide the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:18

shining of its light under

a

bushel, but let it be

One of them took

a

sword, struck the blessed one

a

certain Persian from the valley

a

way out of the danger

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

sword, take a lance in

themselves with a sword, take

a

lance in their hand, and

order. This Isaiah described in

a

phrase: “The Elamites took up

and ostentatious fashion, striding like

a

lion cub, quite unconcerned and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:48

Vahram, they had him take

a

letter to the general, full

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

For he is

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- 2:58

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- 2:71

God he prayed; he ate

a

little bread and wine, gave

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:81

He shall send to them

a

man who will save them

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

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:19

a

memorial for the saint. After

a

host of nobles and magnates

a

great lake there near the

of the sea. As in

certain Abdlay who was known

a

few men, more or less

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:31

generals but was still at

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- 4:39

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

gathered in one spot, forming

a

solid compact mass, a single

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:41

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

Like

a

wall of adamant, so they

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:42

fugitives, ready to die like

a

brave shepherd for his sheep

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:43

to beg for peace until

a

response from the general-in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:44

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- 4:58

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

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:4

from his own dwelling to

a

foreign land to live in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:6

Het’m of the royal army,

a

Turk by race, accompanied by

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:6

cavalry fully armed and in

a

greater state of readiness than

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:6

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

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

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:11

days had passed they had

a

letter taken to Gurgēn; it

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:16

Lord Grigor Artsruni who rendered

a

fine confession in Christ before

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:19

saying might be fulfilled: “Raise

a

sword against the shepherd and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:20

there remained no one in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:23

The land was first like

a

delightful garden, but later (became

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:23

delightful garden, but later (became)

a

plain of destruction. And as

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:3

short. I shall summarize in

a

few words the history of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:4

later, (and trust me) as

a

truthful and honest historian

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:5

suddenly the trumpets sounded with

a

strident blast to inform the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:6

All the magnates with

a

mass of common people rushed

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:7

with great effort and over

a

long time, incessantly by day

a

deceitful trap through the astute

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:10

sat in the tribunal on

a

high dais in the midst

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:11

captives like the venom of

a

snake, indiscriminately scattering and spreading

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:21

written that the witness of

a

single person is not veracious

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:22

Mahumat’; for there is hardly

a

single person who bears witness

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:23

one’s time, as if from

a

single mouth, apart from the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:28

became insolent, and roaring like

a

bloodthirsty wild beast, ordered them

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:31

came forth the smoke of

a

fiery furnace,” as it is

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:35

Satan had formed him into

a

tool useful for every art

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:35

art of deceitful knowledge, as

a

convenient snare with poisonous arrows

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:40

arms he was wounded; without

a

storm he was shipwrecked; in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:41

than to enjoy (life) for

a

while in sin

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:46

but rebounded upon himself like

a

missile from a wall as

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:46

himself like a missile from

a

wall as strong as adamant

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:47

they too armed themselves for

a

lasting confrontation. With ceaseless psalm

the word of Christ as

a

sword, which is sharper than

their heart unsullied faith as

a

shield. They raised their hands

their hands to heaven like

a

strong bow; the force of

arrow at the target from

a

wide-arced bow; decapitating Satan

Satan they struck him as

a

corpse to the ground

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:56

the saying of the prophet: “

A

young child shall plunge his

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:56

shall plunge his hands into

a

hole of serpents, yet they

the ascetic priest, and with

a

good confession, in the month

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:59

fifth day of the month,

a

Friday, fell asleep in Christ

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:60

Gregory had fallen asleep with

a

good confession, they offered thanks

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:2

It did indeed appear as

a

bitter root, and many were

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:3

come, let us set forth

a

brief refutation of them from

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:4

a

priest Novatian in Rome despatched

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:7

purify our lips by uttering

a

pure confession and keep our

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:7

two do not act with

a

single piety, then there is

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:8

For if the sail of

a

ship is not deployed on

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:8

not deployed on both sides,

a

straight course cannot be steered

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:9

If

a

bird does not fly with

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:11

deny with the lips, since: “

A

good tree cannot produce bad

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:11

produce bad fruit, nor can

a

bad tree produce good fruit

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:14

blessed Isaiah says: “I am

a

man and I have impure

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:14

impure lips; I dwell amidst

a

people with impure lips

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:15

accused himself so much for

a

small matter, how much more

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:16

As Paul, lamenting, says as

a

threat: “Think what severe punishment

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:22

the heart, since thought is

a

conception of the mind and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:25

concerning me, let us keep

a

good confession (of faith) and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:0

the city of Dvin; and

a

memorial of the martyrs

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:1

Just as

a

little above we described the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:6

from the caliph’s presence with

a

numerous and mighty army and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:6

attacking them, he devoured like

a

dragon those he was able

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:7

have drawn the example of

a

dragon rising from the sea

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:14

And: “What will it profit

a

man if he gain the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:14

soul?” Or: “What ransom will

a

man give for his soul

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:15

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- 8:17

the place of execution, like

a

young groom to the wedding

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:17

wedding and as happy as

a

husband joining the bride. They

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:18

Instead of

by Ahmat’s commanders; he was

a

brave and famous man, renowned

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:12

him, and tried to find

a

solution without disturbing the peace

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:12

But the alternative intentions of

a

majority were carried through for

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:12

majority were carried through for

a

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:13

brought his Persian dynasty to

a

high point by notable victories

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:15

advance on your land with

a

powerful army, and let the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:17

of Yisē rather than winning

a

victory. Eventually the castle’s supplies

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:19

planning to seize for himself

a

part of the country, especially

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:21

the spot (called) Karkineank’ with

a

numerous army. Gurgēn spoke openly

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:22

Although Ashot had

a

smaller force with him, he

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:22

own castle of Kanguar, and

a

few days later his life

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:22

life came to an end.

A

mettlesome horse threw and killed

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:24

mutual confidence and trust like

a

strong city or rampart of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:24

without mistrust; while he found

a

suitable occasion to seize them

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:25

Kanguar in order to find

a

solution: Yisē lord of Trunik’

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:28

because they had often acquired

a

victorious reputation

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 23:7

in martial opposition and incited

a

clash. The valiant warriors of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 24:3

the king had gone away

distance of two days’ journey

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 24:5

body and placed it in

a

tomb in the place called

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:1

Awshin, son of Apusech, was

a

man who loved turmoil and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:1

he valued the ruin of

a

country more highly than its

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:2

and stayed there for about

a

whole year. Awshin, that hater

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:5

Awshin entrusted the country to

a

certain minion Sap’i, a eunuch

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:5

to a certain minion Sap’i,

a

eunuch, from among the Greek

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:6

fear, exacting tribute through officials.

A

strong force remained in the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:6

three valiant brothers arrived with

a

small band of nobles in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:6

and struck down more than

a

few with the sword

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:8

In this fashion they inflicted

a

cruel death on all the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:9

Only

a

certain Arshak from the family

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 26:5

his compassion in his anger.

A

man named Yovsēp of Greek

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 26:5

origin had entered Awshin’s service;

a

eunuch, he abandoned the Christian

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 26:5

faith of Mahumat’. He was

a

ferocious man, savage, unsparing in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 26:10

suffered dreadful torments; having tasted (

a

cup) more bitter than viper’s

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 26:16

and scholarly discipline, he was

a

man of sweet temperament and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:1

I have undertaken to give

a

true account of the marvellous

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:1

Gagik was general. But not

few regrets have fallen on

a

certain skilled craftsman, and a

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:2

a certain skilled craftsman, and

a

silversmith had enclosed the wood

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:3

A

new Nabuzardan or Zamri from

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:3

the heresy of Nestorius appeared,

a

thrice-miserable and wicked wretch

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:4

shore of the lake in

a

cave in the rock. But

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:4

roll down the mountain in

a

long fall as far as

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:7

He ordered

a

goldsmith to be brought, and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:10

witnesses. Of how much greater

a

punishment will we think that

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 28:0

of the Muslims called Kaysikk’

a

and of the prince of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 28:8

attacked as one man. In

a

resolute charge they fell on

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 28:16

The king himself gathered

a

large army of more than

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:8

day of the month, on

a

Monday at the ninth hour

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:10

mind is inadequate to compose

a

proper lament, let that now

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:12

his life prematurely, he acquired

a

surplus by exchanging the certain

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:14

priests, before whom he delivered

a

full confession of faith: the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:15

enumerating the greatest (examples) in

a

short time: the adulteress, the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:21

state of the country into

a

course of calm and peace

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:26

had been detached from Vaspurakan

a

long time before, [211] years in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:26

and the Armenian troops suffered

a

horrible death

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:29

He built

a

church in the rocky cave

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:29

it with similar embellishment, with

a

silver censer, worked in choice

Right beneath Amrakan, in

a

hollow spot diagonally to the

to the north, he built

a

church, constructed in wonderful fashion

built on the same foundation (

a

chapel) dedicated to the crucifixion

stronghold impregnable to mounted raiders

Golgotha. Above it he constructed

a

church (dedicated) to the upper

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:31

of the altar he built

a

church in commemoration of the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:31

hell. Above that he built

a

church (dedicated) to the Ascension

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:33

the southern side he provided

a

staircase cut in the rock

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:34

his seemly wisdom he prepared

a

water tunnel underground, cutting channels

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:34

construction that was built like

a

city, improving on the construction

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:35

city of Getk’, he constructed

a

splendid place of pleasure, surrounding

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:35

pleasure, surrounding with palatial buildings

a

hill from which one could

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:36

the river Araxes, he built

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

with ramparts. He established there

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

lofty and grand memorial, an

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:39

that was crowned by Christ,

a

pedestal for God’s feet, in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:40

into sweet-smelling wood, leaving

a

part open from the golden

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:40

and on its front (fitted)

a

square cross-shaped wooden casket

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:43

begun his constructions. He built

a

high embankment at the village

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:43

Hayk. He appointed as abbot

a

certain priest named Yovhannēs from

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:44

Here he organised

a

settlement of monks and entrusted

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:44

above-mentioned priest, who was

a

gentle man, humble and honourable

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:45

There he built

a

splendid and glorious church dedicated

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:46

flesh from the Virgin as

a

house and tabernacle, and that

The stones were hewn at

a

good distance—about three stadia

far and near. He made

a

vociferous proclamation, as though he

proclamation, as though he meant

a

verbal warning, and had a

a verbal warning, and had

a

clear announcement broadcast to inform

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:54

Prince Gagik had formed

a

navigable route over the waves

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:62

with Satanic mischief, they raised

a

cry to all cities, and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:62

to all cities, and created

a

tumult in their wild raving

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:65

was lying in wait like

a

lion cub in its den

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:65

had befallen them. He returned

a

response full of encouraging advice

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:65

exhortation to the hope of

a

martyr’s crown: if in that

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:66

left his fortified position with

a

small force, the garrison of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:66

village of P’aytakshtan. There, from

a

slightly higher position, they rushed

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:66

position, they rushed down like

a

torrent to attack them, taking

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:69

inhabitants of Parskahayk’, marching in

a

confused rabble, secretly passed by

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:71

But he was wounded by

a

sword, and died a martyr’s

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:71

by a sword, and died

a

martyr’s death in the village

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:73

arrival, the Muslims fled to

a

distance and occupied the strongholds

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:74

and equipped, and marched by

a

circuitous route in order to

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:74

at the ninth hour on

a

Friday, he passed by the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:75

the camp, put more than

a

few to the sword, and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:75

to the sword, and reached

a

hollow at the village of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:76

suddenly they were attacked by

a

band of raging infidels including

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:77

The Armenian force suffered

a

terrible disaster, only a few

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:77

suffered a terrible disaster, only

a

few from the large number

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:80

presenting what had happened as

a

misfortune and accident, and (begging

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:3

race of Ismaelites had seized

a

long time before. His ancestors

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:12

prince) saw this, he undertook

a

sublime plan. In order to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:13

him in the castle in

a

friendly and peaceful manner

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:14

Finding

a

suitable opportunity, Hasan seized the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:16

way openly, they turned to

a

man who was very dear

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:17

Just as fire thrives on

a

large supply of wood, so

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:21

former, alleging that this was

a

violation of his pact of

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:21

see his glorious face. Taking

a

deadly present, he came to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:23

two) men were separated by

a

noisy rushing stream that was

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:30

saying: “Who made my head

a

reservoir of water, and my

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:31

with him go up to

a

high watchtower to cry out

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:36

loss spread over Armenia like

a

heavy thundercloud filled with wrath

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:39

land of Armenia remains without

a

lord

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:40

cock, or trap him in

a

snare, without himself being torn

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:43

herself in black, and prepared

a

dark-coloured covering for her

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- 1:53

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- 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

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:11

a

tall tower built with strong

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:11

stones bonded in lead, like

a

wall of bronze, firmly nailed

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:11

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- 3:37

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- 3:44

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- 4:4

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

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

Amiuk with its province remained

a

great unhealed wound in the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:24

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

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:31

war, and shone out as

a

glorious and famous soldier in

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:33

came to him, saying: “Behold,

a

force of Muslims crossed into

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- 4:48

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- 4:56

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

the next year, they assembled

a

countless host of troops of

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:16

It is

a

history for us to lament

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:16

of the prophet—and he

a

foreigner who had entered their

for it was there that

a

countless multitude of fugitives had

a

pitiful spectacle, and one worthy

But they left behind them

a

scene more pitiful and lamentable

a

mountain. Rather, you were a

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:32

a mountain. Rather, you were

a

mud pit in which the

a

city (as Arcn), charming and

a

city perched upon a mountain

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:0

like a city perched upon

a

mountain, with both sea and

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:1

when it was crowned with

a

plentitude of good things, and

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:1

would wish. Then it resembled

a

newly-wed woman who, with

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:3

peoples. Our city was like

a

precious gem shimmering with resplendent

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:9

a

human into a dew and

it turns a human into

a

dew and subjects (humans) to

a

golden belt there will be

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:11

of rope, and instead of

a

rich robe, a girdling of

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:11

instead of a rich robe,

a

girdling of sackcloth” [Isaiah 3.24], for when

field, they reaped with their

burned them down, considering this

a

benevolent act, just as the

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:21

One could see there

a

pitiful and terrifying spectacle in

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 13:4

diseased Saul who ran to

a

wizard, or the Jews who

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 13:4

camels and took them to

a

people from whom there was

a

sword and taking (Liparit) himself

a

pious man, called upon omnipotent

a

simple matter for God. As

consternation and danger, (God) caused

a

wonderful idea to be implanted

prince who was one of

a

very frightful thing, which, it

rock which violently struck the

a

secure, impregnable fortress near it

But those bloody beasts found

a

shallow way through the waters

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 16:53

a

little, nonetheless, he returned to

lad and exceedingly good looking

a

real one. As the prophet

in Byzantium. (It once had)

a

patriarchate, great and envied by

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:18

Our churches resembled

a

new bride, adorned with all

foreign land as a slave

a

prophet? Today it sits ingloriously

stripped of all beauty, resembling

a

childless widow, stripped of adornments

a

pledge, and no adversary can

a

lion’s frenzy was roaring in

king. By God’s laws such

a

one is deserving of the

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:1

said, I am sufficient as

a

substitute.” When the princes heard

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:2

Sultan as though he were

a

famished beast, giving him such

famished beast, giving him such

a

plethora of gifts that he

very martial man. However, neither

good deal of fodder for

and horses, (taking) goods and

a

small number of useful items

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:8

wreaked on that place? As

a

result, the entire countryside became

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:16

resembled the handsome face of

a

person in the flower of

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:18

resembling a guardian took on

a

beautiful appearance because of them

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:19

we see just the opposite:

a

country laid waste and empty

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:20

and loud chirpings, which, like

a

goad would rouse the farmer

a

lamentable spectacle of agitation was

His hand is raised, with

a

cup of pure wine to

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:35

to make us drunk, in

a

foul drunkenness

No longer shall you be

village called Blurs, Since the

a

raging torrent and struck against

moment, but quickly collapsed. Its

thought (the city) would be

a

place of salvation and refuge

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:39

salvation and refuge, it became

a

pit of ruin. For all

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:41

not after the fashion of

a

war, but as though they

a

yard. Some (the Seljuks) seized

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:42

They died

a

double death. More bitter than

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 19:1

a

cistern full of blood

that had come before, or

a

new one, I do not

it at night. There was

a

brigade of Byzantine cavalrymen guarding

of life. (The Seljuks) left

a

remembrance forever of the unbelievable

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:23

run ahead unimpeded, thus opening

a

path. Then the captives and

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:24

Now this village had

a

fortress, and for that reason

cavalry force within the fortress

shield before him speaking harsh

a

Byzantine army came up from

a

certain Hrahat, one of the

gorgeous style to the glory

But this was all

a

sham, not the true state

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 22:2

as the Lord said. In

a

similar vein the Apostle wrote

Should (the enemy) be from

a

people which speaks a foreign

carnage of bloodshed

a

way, sowed weeds among the

falsely-good reputation had grown — (

a

renown) which stupid people noised

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 22:14

with his oratory. On such

a

foundation he thought he could

certain cleric from the Karin

fox, he loudly preached: “Whoever

and which we spoke of

a

little earlier, namely, Kashe and

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:15

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

named Bazmaghbiwr (Many Fountains) wherein

a

resplendently stunning Cross had been

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:19

God’s ineffable wisdom, they had

a

thought. The evening that this

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:20

arrived at the spot with

a

great multitude. Gathering up the

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:21

branded with the sign of

a

fox, so that eternally that

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:21

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

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:25

informed through God’s providence—immediately

a

multitude of people assembled in

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:25

record it. They went in

a

body to the confluence of

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:26

fully. The soldiers, having brought

a

boat, were hastening to take

a

drum (which is correctness of

a

miracle” [Psalms 97.1], etc. Praying to God

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:33

When day dawned, it was

a

Sunday. The judge went to

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:33

the bishopric, named P’rris, seeking

a

just trial and entrusted the

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:34

There is

a

creature known as the cuttle

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:35

a

Roman (Chalcedonian), and, bribing a

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:35

a Roman (Chalcedonian), and, bribing

a

bishop named Episarhat, he agreed

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 23:39

aches of his body were

a

constant reminder of Gehena where

a

distance learn from them and

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 24:14

bodies of the slain) became

a

road. From the countless multitude

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:0

no one has imposed such

a

task upon us nor demanded

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:1

the capable to undertake (such

a

task). However, since omission of

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:1

would damage (this history) not

a

little, we regard it as

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:1

necessary to dispense with such

a

great event (even if only

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:2

of Persia had taken not

a

small part of his kingdom

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:2

a

bad impression of himself

Halting in Biwt’ania, he assembled

a

countless host, for yet did

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:3

for yet did he possess

a

broad and extensive kingdom whose

Seeing such

a

multitude of troops assembled in

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:5

a

different road, while he himself

road, while he himself with

a

great host travelled East until

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:10

the defeated side, then suddenly

a

great brigade devoid of piety

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:11

As

a

result, many soldiers were killed

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:12

after death they would leave

a

good name of loyal bravery

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:13

dressed and armed himself like

a

warrior and reached the field

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:13

the field of battle like

a

streak of lightning

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 25:14

nor was He for us

a

horn of salvation and hope

that world-ruling lord of

a

great throne—and stood him

Persia as though he were

a

frightened, guilty slave, hand-cuffed

Rather, He pardons us after

a

little temptation so that we
