Behold, he has come to help you, and 02Agat1    17:26 | Now saint Gayane had said all this in the 02Agat1    17:27 | heard and understood everything which had been said in the language 02Agat1    17:33 | Even though Rhipsime’s own clothes had been torn to shreds by 02Agat1    17:36 | press where their former retreat had been, and told the glad 02Agat1    17:37 | you for the blessings which have been granted us by you 02Agat1    17:37 | us by you? For you have kept firm the hope we 02Agat1    17:37 | kept firm the hope we had in you, and you have 02Agat1    17:37 | had in you, and you have saved us from the filthy 02Agat1    17:37 | the wild beast who would have ravaged us 02Agat1    17:38 | for your salvation.

Because I had regard for and faith in 02Agat1    17:46 | glad at this struggle, which has overtaken us, to fight by 02Agat1    17:46 | love. Because your victorious power has won, and given us the 02Agat1    17:47 | these months in which we have seen torments 02Agat1    18:7 | saints, men and women, who had come with them, more than 02Agat1    18:8 | These said as follows: “We have loved you, Lord, that you 02Agat1    18:11 | in the vat-store, which had been their lodging-place, who 02Agat1    19:1 | humiliation, of which he should have been ashamed, he who was 02Agat1    19:1 | in the Greek Olympics he had seemed as strong as a 02Agat1    19:1 | many deeds of prowess.

He had the prisoners removed in chains 02Agat1    19:15 | accustomed to kill all who had been condemned to death, a 02Agat1    19:18 | impatient to join those who have loved you; and I am 02Agat1    19:19 | name’s sake die daily; we have been considered as a lamb 02Agat1    19:23 | Now those who had once come with them from 02Agat1    19:23 | land of the Romans and had arrived together in this land 02Agat1    20:1 | decided to go hunting. He had all his troops gather the 02Agat1    20:2 | However, when the king had mounted his cart and wanted 02Agat1    20:5 | power of the demons who had taken him over 02Agat1    20:6 | people in the city, similarly, had gone crazy through demonic possession 02Agat1    20:9 | will cure the injuries which have come upon you unless you 02Agat1    20:10 | her, saying: “Then you, too, have gone crazy.

For 03Buz4    54:23 | you became my foe. It has been thirty years that you 03Buz4    54:23 | been thirty years that you have been warring with me 03Buz4    54:27 | floor where the Armenian soil had been spread 03Buz4    54:28 | me, evil-doing servant who has become master of your former 03Buz4    54:29 | For now, you the servants have taken the station of us 03Buz4    54:30 | Then Arsak lamented what he had said, bowed, grabbed Shapuh’s feet 03Buz4    54:30 | expiation apologized for what he had said 03Buz4    54:35 | After everyone had been seated according to his 03Buz4    54:42 | was upon us, and God had not forsaken us. While we 03Buz4    54:42 | counsel, be aware, we could have taught you a lesson. But 03Buz4    55:3 | of the king of Iran had come and filled up the 03Buz4    55:8 | the land of Armenia, but had gone to see the emperor 03Buz4    55:21 | land, besides. He note: “What has already befallen you was just 03Buz4    55:28 | took [9000] households of Jews who had been brought into captivity from 03Buz4    55:30 | When they had assembled all the captives taken 03Buz4    55:47 | ruled to assemble and to have the tikin of Armenia in 03Buz4    56:1 | when all the Armenian captives had been taken to the country 03Buz4    56:13 | And you have honored me, an unworthy one 03Buz4    56:13 | to become your servant, you have given me, a sufferer, the 03Buz4    56:16 | When he had said all this, the crowded 03Buz4    56:16 | this, the crowded crowd that had gathered note: Amen 03Buz4    56:17 | executioners were angry that they had allowed him to talk for 03Buz4    57:1 | troops under his authority. He had as guides Vahan, from the 03Buz4    57:4 | women whom the Armenian naxarars had left when they fled, and 03Buz4    57:5 | the city of Zarehawan which had been ruined previously by the 03Buz4    57:8 | For he had pitched a tent near the 03Buz4    57:12 | fortress-keepers with whom they had been left 03Buz4    58:1 | two abominable and impious men, had rebelled from the oath of 03Buz4    58:3 | women whom the fugitive naxarars had left and abandoned should be 03Buz4    58:6 | Now Vahan had a half-sister of the 03Buz4    58:7 | When Shapuh, king of Iran, had come to the country of 03Buz4    58:10 | She had a white body and a 03Buz4    58:14 | their own sephakan property and had their children and relatives’ study 03Buz5    1:2 | all the calamitous events which had befallen the Armenians, and he 03Buz5    1:12 | troops of the brigade. He had [10000] men available 03Buz5    1:19 | secure fortresses which the Iranians had seized, including the Daroynk fortress 03Buz5    1:20 | The fortress-keepers had remained loyal. For from the 03Buz5    1:20 | country of Armenia; the treasure had been preserved and went to 03Buz5    1:24 | the king of Iran. Mushegh had them arrested and had them 03Buz5    1:24 | Mushegh had them arrested and had them flayed, stuffed with hay 03Buz5    1:27 | most goodly religion, as it had been in the days of 03Buz5    2:6 | and stuffed with hay. He had this brought to Pap, the 03Buz5    2:8 | Shapuh of Iran. Rather he had palanquins prepared for all of 03Buz5    2:10 | bravery and freedom that he had not perpetrated any insults on 03Buz5    2:11 | At that time Mushegh had a white horse. So, when 03Buz5    2:12 | He had a picture of Mushegh on 03Buz5    2:13 | for those Armenian troops who had remained with king Pap, a 03Buz5    2:13 | enormous amount of loot they had taken 03Buz5    3:1 | about the way Hayr mardpet had insulted king Pap’s mother tikin 03Buz5    3:1 | in the fortress. For Hayr had entered the fortress secretly and 03Buz5    3:3 | As soon as Mushegh had this order in hand he 03Buz5    3:6 | they noticed that his brain had oozed out of his nose 03Buz5    3:7 | certain man named Dgghak, who, had been involved in the work 03Buz5    4:9 | replied to Urhnayr, saying: “You have promised a lot, but there 03Buz5    4:10 | Aghuania, Urhnayr, with great boasting has requested fighting you as a 03Buz5    4:11 | were coming against the Armenians, having Urhnayr, king of Aghuania, along 03Buz5    4:11 | remember later on. When you have arrested the Byzantine troops, allow 03Buz5    4:19 | and camp soldiers? And I have also heard that Mushegh speaks 03Buz5    4:31 | His holy Church, which He had received through His venerable blood 03Buz5    4:33 | into battle. Now, lo, he had joined the Iranian troops and 03Buz5    4:38 | all judgments? And now he has also put east and west 03Buz5    4:39 | it is not people who have come out against each other 03Buz5    4:39 | but the judge of judges has risen up to judge the 03Buz5    4:41 | anything, but must say: you have done justly with us in 03Buz5    4:43 | You have brought true judgments upon us 03Buz5    4:43 | us in all that You have brought upon us, for in 03Buz5    4:43 | truth and in judgment you have brought all these things upon 03Buz5    4:44 | For we have sinned and acted lawlessly, having 03Buz5    4:44 | have sinned and acted lawlessly, having departed from you, and have 03Buz5    4:44 | having departed from you, and have sinned in everything, we have 03Buz5    4:44 | have sinned in everything, we have not listened to your commandments 03Buz5    4:45 | We have not kept them and have 03Buz5    4:45 | have not kept them and have not done as you commanded 03Buz5    4:45 | you. And all that you have brought upon us, and all 03Buz5    4:45 | us, and all that you have done to us, you have 03Buz5    4:45 | have done to us, you have done according to the true 03Buz5    4:55 | During the battle, God’s aid had come to the Byzantines, and 03Buz5    4:59 | you are a king and have a crown. I will not 03Buz5    4:64 | always releasing your enemies. He has laid hands on many of 03Buz5    4:64 | adversary of yours whom he had seized, and allowed him to 03Buz5    4:66 | do you kill yours. I have never, do not, and will 03Buz5    4:67 | fall into my clutches as has happened many times, I will 03Buz5    4:69 | died for my father. He has loyally labored to the point 03Buz5    4:69 | point of death. Often God has given us victory through the 03Buz5    5:1 | to Mushegh via messenger: “I have great thanks for you for 03Buz5    5:15 | As soon as they had rested a little, they would 03Buz5    5:19 | When king Shapuh had returned to his land, he 03Buz5    5:19 | the fighting brigade which he had encountered, and he note: “I 03Buz5    5:19 | From my childhood onward, I have always been fighting. In the 03Buz5    5:19 | since I became king, I have not spent a single year 03Buz5    5:21 | emerge to fight, until they had wiped out the Aryan troops 03Buz5    5:23 | despite the many years which have passed since their lord Arshak 03Buz5    5:26 | So much time has passed since they lost their 03Buz5    6:7 | Shapuh of Iran.

They led 03Buz5    6:16 | the folds of his garments had buried them 03Buz5    7:6 | He had, during the years of Tiran 03Buz5    7:7 | whose occupant was called [hayr] (father) had been entrusted to eunuchs from 03Buz5    7:7 | the prince of Angegh tun had been taken captive to the 03Buz5    7:7 | that king Arshak of Armenia had been seized 03Buz5    7:13 | was named Anyush, no one has dared to remind the kings 03Buz5    7:13 | kings about people whom they have put there. No one has 03Buz5    7:13 | have put there. No one has recalled a prisoner there, to 03Buz5    7:13 | now my bound adversary. You have taken your life into your 03Buz5    7:13 | mentioning Anyush. Such a thing has not happened from the beginning 03Buz5    7:14 | me were great, what you have requested will be given to 03Buz5    7:14 | you. Go, but you should have asked for something to benefit 03Buz5    7:16 | for the bound Arshak who had formerly been the king of 03Buz5    7:21 | But when Arshak had drunk the wine and become 03Buz5    7:21 | is Arshak. Look what I have fallen to, and what has 03Buz5    7:21 | have fallen to, and what has happened to me 03Buz5    8:0 | began fighting against those who had rebelled against the king of 03Buz5    8:1 | to strike at those who had rebelled from the Arsacid kingdom 03Buz5    9:1 | the rebellious Noshirakan land, which had rebelled from the king of 03Buz5    10:1 | Korduk, Kordik and Tmorik, which had rebelled from the king of 03Buz5    11:1 | the Mark areas, since they had rebelled from the king of 03Buz5    13:2 | districts from them, which they had taken from the Armenians: Uti 03Buz5    13:3 | Aghuania and themselves, as it had been previously. He killed many 03Buz5    14:1 | city of Paytakaran, since they had revolted and betrayed the king 03Buz5    15:2 | bdeashx of Gugark who previously had served the king of Armenia 03Buz5    15:2 | the king of Armenia but had rebelled. He destroyed the males 03Buz5    15:3 | naxarars in those parts who had rebelled from the king of 03Buz5    16:1 | great blows, for they too had rebelled from the king of 03Buz5    17:1 | invaded Greater Copk, since they had rebelled 03Buz5    19:1 | surrounding it. For they too had rebelled from the Arsacid kingdom 03Buz5    22:5 | Many dews had put their nest in him 03Buz5    24:3 | he falsely pretended that he had come to the correct way 03Buz5    24:5 | Now when Pap had seated Nerses in the foremost 03Buz5    24:5 | for that meal. But he had mixed poison into the drinking 03Buz5    24:6 | cup, he immediately sensed what had happened, and began to say 03Buz5    24:6 | achieving the death which I had wanted from my childhood, for 03Buz5    24:9 | them this deed which they have done to me; accept the 03Buz5    24:14 | for that is what I had been longing for. In goodness 03Buz5    24:19 | and even those whom he had never known 03Buz5    24:21 | Having said this, his soul was 03Buz5    24:22 | of Xax, where the deed had been committed, to his own 03Buz5    24:24 | was not, as though he had not committed that deed 03Buz5    25:1 | of Anahit. Both of them had been students of the beloved 03Buz5    25:2 | realized that the holy Nerses had died and that it was 03Buz5    25:2 | it was his spirit which had appeared to him. Epipan, on 03Buz5    25:2 | other hand, thought that Nerses had been taken corporally 03Buz5    25:3 | before the people what they had seen 03Buz5    26:5 | pulled out the reed that had settled in the wound, spat 03Buz5    26:14 | to his request, as he had requested 03Buz5    26:16 | find it anywhere, because he had asked God for it in 03Buz5    27:13 | it is clear that you have unclean thoughts 03Buz5    28:1 | Saint Epiphan, having retired from Gavar Tsopk, from 03Buz5    28:8 | You have sent prophets, you have revealed 03Buz5    28:8 | You have sent prophets, you have revealed various miraculous powers and 03Buz5    28:8 | hands of your saints, who have become your saints among different 03Buz5    28:8 | saints among different peoples; you have given laws to help, you 03Buz5    28:8 | given laws to help, you have sent angels to supervise 03Buz5    28:11 | of our righteousness, for we have not done any good in 03Buz5    28:11 | mercy and compassion, which you have spread out on us, we 03Buz5    28:15 | Having said, “Our Father, who art 03Buz5    28:19 | And the priest, having risen (from prayer), finished the 03Buz5    28:21 | told the great miracle he had seen 03Buz5    29:2 | place of the man he had killed.

For you have ignorantly gone astray from our 04Yegh2    11:258 | from our true religion and have dishonored the gods; you have 04Yegh2    11:258 | have dishonored the gods; you have killed fire and defiled water 04Yegh2    11:258 | fire and defiled water; you have buried the dead in the 04Yegh2    11:258 | approach your wives.

You had put on Christ from your 04Yegh3    1:13 | heirs of the kingdom; you have now made yourselves heirs to 04Yegh3    1:14 | with the unquenchable fire; why have you been burned and seared 04Yegh3    1:14 | being fattened; but now you have fattened your own bodies as 04Yegh3    1:15 | They long since had become blind; why will you 04Yegh3    1:16 | They had dug the pit; why did 04Yegh3    1:18 | Lightened of heavy burdens, you have taken up of your own 04Yegh3    1:18 | burden; freed from servitude, you have perversely entered into inescapable bondage 04Yegh3    1:20 | The angels above have become angered with you, and 04Yegh3    1:20 | and from earth the martyrs have become furious at you 04Yegh3    1:22 | For if a man had saved you from servitude, and 04Yegh3    1:24 | But now that great fortress has been destroyed to its foundations 04Yegh3    2:27 | You will have to give a reckoning before 04Yegh3    2:38 | When this had been so confirmed and established 04Yegh3    2:50 | the matter for which he had come he pressed them, saying 04Yegh3    2:50 | established in Armenia, as I have tested the unity of the 04Yegh3    3:52 | are not afraid of tortures, have no reverence for wealth, and 04Yegh3    3:53 | I had heard from our ancestors that 04Yegh3    3:58 | We had no idea of the causes 04Yegh3    3:65 | of our land the West had been even more stirred up 04Yegh3    3:65 | stirred up and all Tachkastan had been disturbed with them 04Yegh3    3:66 | by report. But what I have seen with my own eyes 04Yegh3    3:68 | If we had not hastened to take flight 04Yegh3    3:68 | take flight, they would not have allowed a single one of 04Yegh3    3:72 | all the nobles and he had entrusted this whole country to 04Yegh3    3:75 | it may be seen to have fulfilled the king’s command willingly 04Yegh3    4:78 | words of advice which you have spoken are true. What at 04Yegh3    4:83 | quarters in Armenia. When we have them to hand there is 04Yegh3    4:85 | But the marzpan had no desire to heed him 04Yegh3    4:85 | to heed him, for he had sincerely accepted the Persian religion 04Yegh3    4:88 | He had brought from the treasury a 04Yegh3    4:90 | the impious prince of Siunik had inflicted mortal wounds on his 04Yegh3    4:91 | his mind, and that he had not in the least failed 04Yegh3    4:93 | the same union; those who had not broken away from the 04Yegh3    4:95 | But the latter had so demented and dulled the 04Yegh3    5:101 | the hearts of all, you have no need of witness from 04Yegh3    5:101 | witness from men; if we have intentionally strayed from you, you 04Yegh3    5:103 | When they had said this, they all put 04Yegh3    5:113 | Those who had come to plunder the holy 04Yegh3    5:114 | Having succeeded by the power of 04Yegh3    6:137 | the land of the Huns has returned and reached our land 04Yegh3    6:137 | more cavalry from the court have also arrived 04Yegh3    6:138 | addition to all this, they have brought with them another three 04Yegh3    6:138 | hundred magi as teachers; they have created discord in the country 04Yegh3    6:138 | discord in the country and have brought some over to themselves 04Yegh3    6:138 | not do this willingly, we have a command to build fire 04Yegh3    6:142 | own brave valor, which they had proved by deeds—by trampling 04Yegh3    6:144 | records concerning your courageous ancestors, having occupied Europe they crossed over 04Yegh3    6:146 | from his murderous uncles who had assassinated his father, he lived 04Yegh3    6:146 | over his ancestral land. Likewise, having received faith in Christ from 04Yegh3    6:147 | some of their commands we have opposed and many more we 04Yegh3    6:148 | We have chosen death in piety rather 04Yegh3    6:148 | help to us, we will have gained a second life and 04Yegh3    6:150 | After they had come into the presence of 04Yegh3    6:150 | of the great king and had read the supplication of Armenia 04Yegh3    7:155 | When this had been so concluded and hope 04Yegh3    7:155 | and hope of human help had vanished, the holy bishops began 04Yegh3    7:157 | Although they did not have a king as leader nor 04Yegh3    7:160 | the marzpan of Chor, who had come to destroy the churches 04Yegh3    7:161 | who in his innermost heart had not abandoned his covenant with 04Yegh3    7:172 | the Persian army: “Behold I have broken the unity of the 04Yegh3    7:172 | of the Armenians’ covenant and have split their army over three 04Yegh3    7:173 | The first section I have sent far off to the 04Yegh3    7:174 | men in the country I have dispersed and scattered throughout all 04Yegh3    8:185 | they closed ranks and attacked. Having broken the right wing, they 04Yegh3    8:191 | remnants of the army who had fled into the great capital 04Yegh3    8:192 | Then the Armenian troops, having won a great victory, turned 04Yegh3    8:193 | the sword numerous magi who had come ready to bring ruin 04Yegh3    8:195 | the sake of God’s name had scattered and spread out among 04Yegh3    8:195 | of the enterprise which God had effected through the Armenian army 04Yegh3    8:198 | the man to whom they had entrusted the pass they sent 04Yegh3    8:199 | these nations heard all that had occurred, they immediately rushed to 04Yegh3    8:199 | own eyes the victory that had been won 04Yegh3    9:201 | When this had been completed and mutually confirmed 04Yegh3    9:201 | of the rebellious Vasak: “He has abandoned the Christian covenant and 04Yegh3    9:201 | was the army’s quarters. He has also seized, destroyed, and set 04Yegh3    9:201 | towns in its neighborhood. He has put to flight all of 04Yegh3    9:202 | He has also laid hands on the 04Yegh3    9:202 | the holy altar vessels. He has led away captive priests’ families 04Yegh3    9:202 | them and imprisoned them. He has extended his ravaging and ruin 04Yegh3    9:204 | while the army which had remained there fled from the 04Yegh3    9:205 | those with him, a few have fled to their own places 04Yegh3    9:205 | their own places, but most have followed after his impiety 04Yegh3    9:206 | his mercy is eternal. He has struck great nations and slain 04Yegh3    9:210 | captives and plunder that he had brought from the province of 04Yegh3    9:211 | Because wintertime had arrived and the enemy troops 04Yegh3    9:211 | arrived and the enemy troops had seized the provisions, he, Vardan 04Yegh3    9:216 | Since the fearers of God had gained such success, all the 04Yegh3    9:217 | these visitations of God, which had been splendidly made manifest on 04Yegh3    9:217 | bishops set in writing and had sent to the land of 04Yegh3    9:217 | conclude our enterprise as we have begun it 04Yegh3    9:218 | indicated all the damage that had been done: the destruction of 04Yegh3    9:219 | and unjustly he (the king) had constrained them to abandon their 04Yegh3    9:219 | the rebel Vasak: how he had deceived the king by speaking 04Yegh3    9:219 | magism; for although no one had made an agreement with him 04Yegh3    9:219 | an agreement with him he had made false insinuations on his 04Yegh3    9:220 | When they had made all this completely clear 04Yegh3    9:221 | messengers of the impious Vasak had previously reached Persia with the 04Yegh3    9:221 | terrible disaster that he (Vardan) had brought upon the royal army 04Yegh3    9:222 | is impossible for those who have entered a covenant in love 04Yegh3    9:223 | his strength, especially because he had returned from the war in 04Yegh3    9:224 | When he had received accurate confirmation from this 04Yegh3    9:224 | from this last messenger who had come to him, he threw 04Yegh3    9:225 | of his evil advisers, who had been urging him unceasingly to 04Yegh3    9:225 | him unceasingly to cruel acts, had been silenced 04Yegh3    10:227 | He who had loudly thundered and by even 04Yegh3    10:227 | by even more fearful commands had made those far and near 04Yegh3    10:228 | What harm have I done, and what crime 04Yegh3    10:228 | I done, and what crime have I committed against any nation 04Yegh3    10:229 | each one openly performed? Who has ever forced or compelled anyone 04Yegh3    10:229 | Christian religion, just as they have been firm and true to 04Yegh3    10:229 | own religion, in such measure have they seemed to us superior 04Yegh3    10:231 | and scrutinize all creeds and had understood them well, he found 04Yegh3    10:235 | See—you have made me do what I 04Yegh3    10:235 | not wish, and great damage has occurred on the borders between 04Yegh3    10:236 | a distant campaign, before we had brought any military operation to 04Yegh3    10:239 | it is just as you have said. But now you can 04Yegh3    10:239 | your will, for the gods have granted you power to do 04Yegh3    10:242 | observed Christianity and whom he had forcibly prevented from daring to 04Yegh3    10:243 | For those who had opposed him, he had tortured 04Yegh3    10:243 | who had opposed him, he had tortured and prevented from open 04Yegh3    10:243 | open worship; and some he had made worship the sun against 04Yegh3    10:247 | The allowances that had been cut off he restored 04Yegh3    10:247 | seats at the table that had been denied them he ordered 04Yegh3    10:249 | When he had completed all these arrangements, in 04Yegh3    10:250 | be released. If anyone’s possessions have been usurped, they are to 04Yegh3    11:251 | gifted, or purchased, that anyone has seized, we have ordered to 04Yegh3    11:251 | that anyone has seized, we have ordered to be returned 04Yegh3    11:252 | When he had informed them of all this 04Yegh3    11:255 | When he had verified that the Romans had 04Yegh3    11:255 | had verified that the Romans had refused to help the Christians 04Yegh3    11:257 | But although the Armenians had received the king’s deceitfully flattering 04Yegh3    11:259 | his inconsistent order?

The food 04Yegh3    11:271 | much slaughter. The food he had craved since childhood was the 04Yegh3    11:276 | his command; and now he had undertaken the latter’s sinister schemes 04Yegh4    1:1 | Up to this point I have not at all hesitated to 04Yegh4    1:2 | Although some secretly had deceitful vacillations, yet to the 04Yegh4    1:8 | which they opened God alone has the power to close. That 04Yegh4    1:10 | As he had earlier broken away from and 04Yegh4    1:11 | told of things the Armenians had not done, wishing to insinuate 04Yegh4    1:14 | When Vasak had agreed to everything including following 04Yegh4    1:14 | was benumbed and deranged and had broken away from the firm 04Yegh4    1:15 | that Vasak on his own had separated and cut himself off 04Yegh4    1:15 | from the holy church and had removed and estranged himself from 04Yegh4    1:16 | For he had forgotten the coming of the 04Yegh4    1:17 | He renounced the font which had conceived him, nor did he 04Yegh4    1:17 | the receptive Holy Spirit which had begotten him 04Yegh4    1:18 | honorable body by which he had been sanctified, and he trampled 04Yegh4    1:18 | living blood by which he had been redeemed from sin 04Yegh4    2:39 | He brought together all who had stumbled and made a force 04Yegh4    2:39 | his brave valor, how he had instructed them in deceitful error 04Yegh4    2:40 | Having been successful in all these 04Yegh4    2:45 | The furtive Vasak had this letter taken to the 04Yegh4    2:46 | they were honest men. He had the Gospel and cross brought 04Yegh4    2:50 | those Huns with whom they had a treaty 04Yegh4    3:56 | Having summoned Vasak to his presence 04Yegh4    3:70 | After he had been informed by him about 04Yegh4    3:72 | deceitful subterfuge, namely, how he had wished to hide his original 04Yegh4    3:72 | his original impiety because he had broken and divided the Armenian 04Yegh5    1:2 | satisfying than all apparent greatness, having chosen thus in their hearts 04Yegh5    1:6 | encouraged his soldiers, for he had a firm hold on the 04Yegh5    1:6 | union with the nobles who had not abandoned the holy covenant 04Yegh5    1:7 | in place of those who had deserted and followed the prince 04Yegh5    1:8 | preparedness, these and all who had remained loyal 04Yegh5    1:12 | For these too had no hesitation in coming with 04Yegh5    1:14 | You and I have participated in many battles. Sometimes 04Yegh5    1:14 | in many battles. Sometimes we have valiantly beaten the enemy, and 04Yegh5    1:14 | the enemy, and sometimes they have defeated us. More often, though 04Yegh5    1:14 | us. More often, though, we have been the victors than the 04Yegh5    1:17 | So now we have many wounds and scars on 04Yegh5    1:17 | and many acts of valor have been performed for which we 04Yegh5    1:20 | age, yet we would still have to leave the body to 04Yegh5    1:21 | especially because many of you have surpassed me in valor and 04Yegh5    1:21 | your own free will you have appointed me your leader and 04Yegh5    1:22 | exalted. And if the time has come to end our lives 04Yegh5    2:26 | Now the Lord himself has helped us with his great 04Yegh5    2:33 | a great thing that God has worked through us, in which 04Yegh5    2:34 | of the divine religion we have gained glory for ourselves, and 04Yegh5    2:35 | by the benevolent Lord, this has befallen us not from any 04Yegh5    2:39 | Distant people who had heard the repute of our 04Yegh5    2:41 | Behold the time has come for us to cast 04Yegh5    2:45 | arms to the one who had no arms; he clothed the 04Yegh5    2:47 | valiant men, for he himself had been learned in the Holy 04Yegh5    2:49 | For although they had been martyred in that battle 04Yegh5    2:49 | the fame of their valor has survived to this very day 04Yegh5    2:50 | how the relatives of Mattathias had split away from the union 04Yegh5    2:50 | impure sacrifices, abandoned God, and had received the punishment of death 04Yegh5    2:50 | But Mattathias and his companions had not weakened or slackened; rather 04Yegh5    3:58 | once more the apostate Vasak had recourse to subterfuge in accordance 04Yegh5    3:59 | the church, which the soldiers had not abandoned 04Yegh5    3:62 | sins of transgression which we had unworthily committed in our desire 04Yegh5    3:65 | own hands the gifts he had received from him. Therefore, God 04Yegh5    3:67 | the great Moses’ before he had reached manhood the mystery of 04Yegh5    3:70 | but also his kin, who had exchanged God for the calf 04Yegh5    3:74 | tinder for the unquenchable fire.

The 04Yegh5    5:104 | the true light. The blind have been deprived of life, but 04Yegh5    5:106 | world. It seemed that he had died, but he then bore 04Yegh5    5:107 | went out to war you had the custom that priests would 04Yegh5    5:109 | It is as if they had gained double vision: with the 04Yegh5    5:110 | Moreover, we see that you have this double vision.

When they 04Yegh6    1:7 | no provisions inside. When they had unwillingly gone down and presented 04Yegh6    1:8 | still unbroken and undefiled, you have made us worthy of your 04Yegh6    1:10 | Having said this the two hundred 04Yegh6    1:11 | words as the two hundred had spoken 04Yegh6    1:12 | For the blessed ones had no expectation at all of 04Yegh6    1:14 | under strict guard because they had addressed a complaint to the 04Yegh6    1:15 | of the malevolent apostate Vasak, had no faith in the false 04Yegh6    1:15 | one another, saying: “What need have we of life in this 04Yegh6    1:16 | all our delicate Armenian women have fallen prey to dangerous afflictions 04Yegh6    1:24 | them despairingly mourned those who had fallen by the sword;

For as has been said above, God was 05Parp3    55:6 | Having brought the blessed champions to 05Parp3    55:6 | Vehdenshapuh said to them: “You have worked numerous, countless evils, and 05Parp3    55:7 | death, the king of kings has done you a great kindness 05Parp3    55:9 | all the blood which you have shed and will shed 05Parp3    55:17 | We all have the same responses and wishes 05Parp3    55:17 | and wishes as then and have not altered them, as though 05Parp3    55:17 | foolishly said them and now, having become well, seek asylum as 05Parp3    55:18 | this sole plan and matter has grown in our hearts day 05Parp3    55:18 | we accomplished than yesterday? We have resolved to live or die 05Parp3    55:18 | the same faith we now have 05Parp3    55:20 | because of that message you have brought us by the king’s 05Parp3    55:22 | When the blessed kat’oghikos Yovsep’ had said this, Vehdenshapuh and the 05Parp3    55:22 | sought for yourselves you now have obtained, and that it is 05Parp3    56:2 | and worship the sun, he has ordered that your guilt is 05Parp3    56:3 | man of God, Ghewond: “We have heard that no one is 05Parp3    56:3 | amount of guilt which you have, and to acquaint you with 05Parp3    56:7 | them, ’As for what you have heard about me, that I 05Parp3    56:7 | faith (it is true), I have been the teacher of many 05Parp3    56:8 | for your statement that I have good learning, as you yourselves 05Parp3    56:8 | as you yourselves testify, I have learned (all) from God and 05Parp3    56:12 | blessed man of God, Ghewond, had finished his reply, the holy 05Parp3    56:12 | lord Yovsep’ and lord Ghewond have said, is also our will 05Parp3    56:14 | accomplices: “To now, although I have agreed to familiarize you with 05Parp3    56:14 | and to translate what you have said to the saints, I 05Parp3    56:15 | for rational men who still have their senses to hear your 05Parp3    57:0 | more of what the saints had to say, as though they 05Parp3    57:3 | your rest, for the Lord has favored you.” He was thus 05Parp3    57:5 | Vardan’s actions and deeds which had been done in the land 05Parp3    57:7 | remaining where the other saints had been killed, and there they 05Parp3    57:7 | to reach this hour. You have made me worthy of the 05Parp3    57:10 | pressing him warmly, and we have truthfully written what he heard 05Parp3    57:11 | with him quit that place. Having selected nine men, they left 05Parp3    57:11 | the venerable Xuzhik, whom Vehdenshapuh had selected and left there, beseeching 05Parp3    57:12 | this before the royal caravan has passed. For perhaps, (Vehdenshapuh) said 05Parp3    57:12 | said, one of the Christians, having been informed by someone, will 05Parp3    57:16 | his comrade was. Those who had tumbled to the ground were 05Parp3    57:17 | now all the requests he had made for such a long 05Parp3    57:18 | until the hour of sunrise had passed in fear, the sounds 05Parp3    57:18 | of lightning ceased. This (earthquake) had taken place in an area 05Parp3    57:19 | Now when the guards had somewhat recovered from the awful 05Parp3    57:19 | awful alarm of numbness, they had a mind to flee from 05Parp3    57:23 | all the disastrous events which had happened to them during the 05Parp3    57:26 | venerable Xuzhik realized that God had reduced suspicions all around. Furthermore 05Parp3    57:27 | Having approached the site, they missed 05Parp3    57:33 | and thereupon realized that God had visited them, and that at 05Parp3    57:33 | man of God, Ghewond, who had counseled them of the grace 05Parp3    57:33 | the words of the saint had been fulfilled in their time 05Parp3    57:34 | naxarars of Armenia. No one had bothered to relate this miraculous 05Parp3    57:34 | to us, but the Omniscent has recorded it and is keeping 05Parp3    57:35 | and aid which the Almighty had bestowed upon him. He related 05Parp3    57:35 | related how in Vardges, Christ had revealed the king’s plan to 05Parp3    57:35 | king’s plan to him and had accompanied and encouraged him with 05Parp3    57:36 | them. And now, behold, he has made me worthy of finding 05Parp3    58:5 | no one reveals damage they have done, and there is no 05Parp3    58:10 | Having cut off the priests’ ears 05Parp3    58:10 | off the priests’ ears, they had the priests taken to Asorestan 05Parp3    58:11 | what equippage and goods he had and laid them at the 05Parp3    58:14 | After the venerable priest Xoren had lived some years, he died 05Parp3    58:15 | believers of the land (who had written to the court pledging 05Parp3    58:15 | death and courageously fulfilling what had been stipulated for him) the 05Parp3    59:1 | the treacherous prince of Siwnik’, had taken from their dayeaks as 05Parp3    59:1 | people condemned to death and had taken to court to be 05Parp3    59:5 | Ashusha replied: “Benevolent king, you have bestowed upon me a new 05Parp3    59:5 | my comrades who serve you have ever received. Therefore, it is 05Parp3    59:5 | type of reverence, something you have never seen from your other 05Parp4    60:3 | saying: “The king of kings has forgiven your death-penalty, and 05Parp4    60:3 | forgiven your death-penalty, and has ordered you freed from your 05Parp4    60:3 | freed from your shackles. He has stipulated stipends for you at 05Parp4    60:3 | in your own land. He has ordered you to do work 05Parp4    61:0 | the words of the Savior, having forgotten the beam in their 05Parp4    61:1 | Having heard this, I tremble with 05Parp4    61:2 | with myriads of evils, who have not once recalled or even 05Parp4    61:3 | as was note: “I alone have overcome the world 05Parp4    61:6 | sleepless (during vigils). One should have seen all of them, these 05Parp4    61:10 | the priests of God who had been martyred, and generously bestowed 05Parp4    61:11 | year of Peroz’ reign [A.D. 464/65], and having lived the life stipulated for 05Parp4    62:2 | The wives of men who had been martyred or were in 05Parp4    62:2 | sons of the men who had been martyred with Vardan, be 05Parp4    62:4 | whom the Iberian bdeshx Ashusha had requested and received from the 05Parp4    62:6 | But they also had yet another younger brother, named 05Parp4    63:0 | One should have seen those senseless, harmful, useless 05Parp4    63:0 | their own houses, like thieves, having purchased (their) tanuterut’iwn from the 05Parp4    63:2 | One then could have seen goodness having left the 05Parp4    63:2 | then could have seen goodness having left the land of Armenia 05Parp4    63:2 | useful and the worst brigade has been the Syrian, but the 05Parp4    63:5 | were the first to slaughter, having dexterity in both hands, correct 05Parp4    63:5 | graceful in everything. Those who had many servants were importuning them 05Parp4    63:11 | and ancestors, and how they had frequently troubled them with resistance 05Parp4    63:13 | and others like them (who had fled) from the soul-killing 05Parp4    63:13 | princes of the time and had concealed themselves in the caverns 05Parp4    63:16 | They had assembled by the blessed patriarch 05Parp4    64:3 | For many people have come to me and consented 05Parp4    64:11 | Giwt note: “Everything that Maxaz has told you about me is 05Parp4    64:12 | not something new which I have chosen to do at present 05Parp4    64:12 | at present, but something I have done from my childhood on 05Parp4    64:12 | strays from the truth. I have attempted without cease to dissuade 05Parp4    64:12 | not to do so) and have tried to convince them by 05Parp4    64:13 | As for what they have told you, regarding his comings 05Parp4    64:13 | that is false. Rather, we have received our schooling in knowledge 05Parp4    64:13 | land of Byzantium and I have many acquaintances and classmates there 05Parp4    64:15 | When the messenger had taken all of these words 05Parp4    64:15 | sensible, and that whatever Maxaz had said about him had been 05Parp4    64:15 | Maxaz had said about him had been false and the result 05Parp4    64:16 | pleasure with the blessed man, had made the king heed his 05Parp4    64:17 | Giwt: “To the present, you have held your authority without my 05Parp4    64:17 | a great occupation, though you have no assurance from me 05Parp4    64:18 | that no Armenian will ever have its equal in honor or 05Parp4    64:21 | replied to the saint: “Kings have the license to say what 05Parp4    64:22 | take it from me. For, having lived with the cares of 05Parp4    64:25 | were right, because no one has ever delivered such insolent words 05Parp4    64:29 | and to relate everything he had heard. So, one by one 05Parp4    64:31 | For I have heard regarding their worship that 05Parp4    64:34 | rejoiced upon hearing that he had been removed from office, to 05Parp4    64:34 | he heard that the king had ordered for him neither shackles 05Parp4    64:34 | for a long time he had longed to be worthy of 05Parp4    64:38 | Having lived with greater glory than 05Parp4    65:0 | groups of apostates. Although they had apostasized for the transitory gloomy 05Parp4    65:3 | one, (asking) which of them had not disturbed the Aryan world 05Parp4    65:3 | not disturbed the Aryan world, had not wrought very great damage 05Parp4    65:5 | Vahan, seeing that his detractors had stirred up such a storm 05Parp4    65:9 | Vahan had an associate whose name was 05Parp4    65:9 | the work of gold-mining. Having taken to himself all of 05Parp4    65:11 | Peroz, hearing how quickly Vahan had arrived, was astonished, and note 05Parp4    65:11 | was saying, especially since (Vahan) has brought something along in addition 05Parp4    65:12 | Vahan) informed Peroz that he had indeed brought something with him 05Parp4    65:12 | large amount of gold he had brought, he was greatly delighted 05Parp4    65:13 | Then (Peroz) had Vriw say in Vahan’s presence 05Parp4    65:13 | in Vahan’s presence what he had said before, about him 05Parp4    65:14 | I am stupid, as Vriw has demonstrated for you. But I 05Parp4    65:14 | am not blind, for I have seen the might of the 05Parp4    65:14 | of the Aryans. That might has struck severe terror into many 05Parp4    65:14 | into many rebellious peoples, and, having subdued them, now holds them 05Parp4    65:21 | and even more that he had returned from court in splendor 05Parp4    65:21 | from court in splendor. He had doubts within himself that perhaps 05Parp4    66:0 | Iberia (Georgia), for (king) Vaxt’ang [fl. ca. 446-522] had slain the impious bdeshx Vazgen 05Parp4    66:2 | princes (who at this time had grown boastfully arrogant through their 05Parp4    66:4 | For they had received news that the king 05Parp4    66:4 | that the king of Iberia had note: “I will not permit 05Parp4    66:6 | who knew that Vahan Mamikonean had been saddened and confused for 05Parp4    66:9 | know how dangerously tormented I have been every hour because of 05Parp4    66:10 | I wish—and it would have been preferable to me—that 05Parp4    66:11 | unite with the plan you have thought up, and tell you 05Parp4    66:18 | and realize that my turn has been made with my entire 05Parp4    66:19 | Having said this all of them 05Parp4    66:20 | prominent village called Bjni, and had been with them in the 05Parp4    66:20 | him before His Father and have him inherit heavenly goodness 05Parp4    66:22 | Thus, having vowed that night, having confirmed 05Parp4    66:22 | Thus, having vowed that night, having confirmed their faith in Christ 05Parp4    67:2 | left the place where they had been and went and encamped 05Parp4    67:5 | they took along with them.

Furthermore, the 05Parp4    67:8 | to the Armenians, but it has not arrived yet. They themselves 05Parp4    67:8 | a very great deed, and having received a good name, both 05Parp4    68:0 | Vahan, the general of Armenia, had appointed him the marzpan of 05Parp4    68:11 | that half of the brigade has crossed the river, we can 05Parp4    68:12 | learned that the Iranian brigades had all crossed the river, and 05Parp4    68:17 | words to Atrvshnasp, saying: “I have a message for the Armenians 05Parp4    68:18 | inside, thinking that (the rebels) had certainly been vanquished, nonetheless he 05Parp4    68:19 | Vasak, knew that his cavalrymen had escaped unharmed, and that there 05Parp4    68:19 | he replied to those who had come from Atrvshnasp, saying: “To 05Parp4    68:19 | Atrvshnasp, saying: “To now we have done nothing bad nor harmed 05Parp4    68:20 | Having released the messengers, and having 05Parp4    68:20 | Having released the messengers, and having himself mounted his horse, (Vasak 05Parp4    68:20 | bad and useless men.

Truly the word 05Parp4    69:18 | Satan, saw that the affair had ended so gloriously (for the 05Parp4    69:18 | deep depression.

Before this news had spread to Duin (so that 05Parp4    69:22 | power of the holy Cross has triumphed, and always will triumph 05Parp4    69:25 | venerable Yohan, kat’oghikos of Armenia had ( a passage read) from the 05Parp4    69:28 | Completing the mass, they had an Easter of joy. First 05Parp4    69:29 | victory of God’s power which had favored them with the name 05Parp4    70:1 | Armenia. Barely one winter month had passed when he quickly recalled 05Parp4    70:3 | informing them of how God had helped those who placed their 05Parp4    70:3 | learn it from anyone. You have also seen how the error 05Parp4    70:3 | mages, burning like a furnace has ignited and scorched the souls 05Parp4    70:4 | hour of Christ’s just mshak has arrived, who takes the hay 05Parp4    70:8 | enemies of the Church, which has been the object of the 05Parp4    70:12 | Having assembled and having set out 05Parp4    70:12 | Having assembled and having set out on the journey 05Parp4    70:14 | This man (Yohan Mokk’) had once said boastfully regarding Yohan 05Parp4    70:14 | cow, and needs only to have a collar put on his 05Parp4    70:19 | arrived (at their destination). God had worked signs and powers through 05Parp4    70:19 | and acceptable services. For God had granted them the victory and 05Parp4    71:0 | bitterly cold days of winter had passed and the mild days 05Parp4    71:0 | the mild days of spring had arrived, they heard that many 05Parp4    71:2 | patriarch of Armenia, lord Yohan ( having faith in the man’s prayers 05Parp4    71:2 | Perhaps the multitude of Iranians has not yet crossed into the 05Parp4    71:6 | disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts’ 05Parp4    71:10 | When everyone had said “Amen,” they prepared for 05Parp4    71:13 | mightiest men, about whom we have been informed earlier—Iranian men 05Parp4    71:14 | section, and they did not have time. Clashing with the section 05Parp4    71:20 | and the other Armenians who had fled saw that the might 05Parp4    71:20 | might of the Iranian brigade had been shattered, and that (the 05Parp4    71:20 | pursuing many others whom they had before them 05Parp4    71:21 | brigade exceded the number who had escaped. And the number of 05Parp4    71:23 | with you. For though victory has caused me to rejoice, I 05Parp4    72:0 | joyful hearts (since the battle had been resolved by divine influence 05Parp4    72:1 | through the power of God had safely escaped from bondage and 05Parp4    72:1 | safely escaped from bondage and had arrived (in Armenia).

He note: “Indeed God has recognized the long-standing grief 05Parp4    73:0 | Now after many days had passed, wise and learned people 05Parp4    73:0 | was approaching. The holy Vasak had asked God to allow him 05Parp4    73:3 | Vaxt’ang, saying: “An enormous brigade has reached the country of Iberia 05Parp4    73:4 | The emissary had a letter supposedly written by 05Parp4    73:4 | by Vaxt’ang which note: “I have commanded a brigade of Huns 05Parp4    73:4 | Huns to come, but they have not arrived yet.

God had betrayed the prince of Siwnik’ 05Parp4    83:23 | Vahan Mamikonean with his colleagues had completed this deed of bravery 05Parp4    83:24 | Because God had so inspired them with fear 05Parp4    84:3 | what assurance can we (who have become few) resist such brave 05Parp4    84:8 | am not so old, I have never even heard from the 05Parp4    84:8 | warriors in centuries past, nor have I witnessed in my own 05Parp4    85:1 | his relatives and friends who had escaped countless severe defeats from 05Parp4    85:4 | an end and destruction should have been visited upon the land 05Parp4    85:8 | and besiegement which (the Hepthalites) had put the lord of the 05Parp4    85:10 | personally and all the Aryans had experienced from the Hepthalites 05Parp4    85:12 | also state that when they had approached, the Hepthalite (leader) sent 05Parp4    85:12 | sent to Peroz, saying: ’You have an oath with me— sworn 05Parp4    85:18 | The few men who had escaped from the carnage reached 05Parp4    86:0 | away from the work we have been engaged in 05Parp4    86:1 | For the rebel Vahan has so stupefied and terrified, so 05Parp4    86:1 | this period such as we have seen or know about, but 05Parp4    86:1 | in romances and which we have heard 05Parp4    86:2 | I and other noble folk have seen him and the men 05Parp4    86:2 | see, but also (we then had with us) the brigade of 05Parp4    86:4 | for the heavy destruction which has come over the Aryan world 05Parp4    86:5 | Shapuh Mihranean and the emissary had spoken, they ordered the troops 05Parp4    86:8 | structure founded by his ancestors had become old 05Parp4    87:1 | the brother of another—whoever had managed to survive at the 05Parp4    87:3 | When everyone had assembled near Vagharsh, Hazarawuxt began 05Parp4    87:6 | Now all of us have enthusiastically chosen you as an 05Parp4    87:8 | Having said all of this and 05Parp4    88:1 | major, not minor way they have damaged the land of the 05Parp4    88:2 | world. I think that you have heard and are informed about 05Parp4    88:4 | thoughts and strength, and how has he been able to resist 05Parp4    88:13 | Gdihon, lord of Siwnik’. I had thought that only Gdihon with 05Parp4    88:17 | they all praised what Mihran had said as true indeed 05Parp4    88:21 | he and those with him have not accomplished such feats merely 05Parp4    88:23 | Vagharsh, and all the nobility had said these things to Nixor 05Parp4    89:1 | I have a hrovartak for you from 05Parp4    89:2 | Vahan Mamikonean ordered those who had come from Nixor to say 05Parp4    89:3 | When Vahan Mamikonean had all the mass of the 05Parp4    89:4 | fatal act to which we have dedicated our lives—that it 05Parp4    89:6 | dedicated ourselves to death. Everyone had previously resolved upon these three 05Parp4    89:10 | When all of this has been implemented, all the affairs 05Parp4    90:0 | When Vahan Mamikonean had said all these words to 05Parp4    90:3 | Nixor saw the Armenians, who had come to him from Vahan 05Parp4    90:5 | Then came the messengers who had been sent by Nixor to 05Parp4    90:8 | To this day I have not been consoled over the 05Parp4    90:9 | But this news has joyfully consoled me today. May 05Parp4    90:9 | see the day when Vahan has been reconciled to me and 05Parp4    90:10 | and the other men who had come from Vahan Mamikonean heard 05Parp4    90:10 | He wills it, so He has them speak 05Parp4    90:12 | I have heard all your words from 05Parp4    90:12 | I sent to you. I have repeated your words in this 05Parp4    90:12 | you know that indeed they have relayed all of it to 05Parp4    90:13 | all the demands which you have sent to me via these 05Parp4    90:14 | Nixor, having affectionately received and honored the 05Parp4    90:14 | and honored the naxarars who had come from Vahan Mamikonean, sent 05Parp4    90:15 | those God-denying cheaters who had allied with the Iranians saw 05Parp4    90:15 | saw how the rebels who had come from Armenia were honored 05Parp4    90:17 | spoke to us affectionately that has caused such a dark cloud 05Parp4    90:18 | When the man had said this, they went to 05Parp4    90:19 | When Nixor’s messengers had reached Vahan Mamikonean and delivered 05Parp4    90:19 | what was written that Nixor had been informed by the messengers 05Parp4    90:19 | messengers of all that he had sent him and that there 05Parp4    90:19 | Vahan Mamikonean’s statements that Nixor had ignored 05Parp4    90:20 | the messengers about how Nixor had so delightedly and affectionately received 05Parp4    91:0 | others, and an organized brigade. Having heard of Nixor’s sworn thesis 05Parp4    91:2 | to come and see you, have some senior Aryans and people 05Parp4    91:3 | of Vahan Mamikonean, he immediately had ( these men) sent to Nerseh 05Parp4    91:6 | force thought that Vahan Mamikonean had come deceitfully to hurt them 05Parp4    91:7 | in advance of him and had them say to Vahan Mamikonean 05Parp4    91:7 | is a new thing you have fashioned. From now on it 05Parp4    91:8 | am so forgetful, since it has not been so many years 05Parp4    91:10 | each of the naxarars who had come with Vahan Mamikonean, welcoming 05Parp4    91:14 | a usual neighbor, nonetheless I have seen you many times at 05Parp4    91:15 | wisdom—maybe more so. You have made the entire Aryan world 05Parp4    91:18 | in you, how would you have been able to resist such 05Parp4    91:23 | about any good servant he had 05Parp4    91:24 | you did, no one could have dreamed of or attempted. But 05Parp4    91:26 | ways of the man who had no parallel among men, but 05Parp4    91:28 | Armenia and the king will have ( this agreement) sealed and sent 05Parp4    92:2 | For, although I have not yet seen the lord 05Parp4    92:4 | Peroz’ behavior and self-indulgence— having servants with uncritical minds, his 05Parp4    92:7 | others’ houses, lives and greatness. Having eluded you a little, you 05Parp4    92:9 | intelligence, bravery, nobility and justice have departed from and ruined the 05Parp4    92:12 | inherit the bad name which has been given to us as 05Parp4    92:14 | Had we been able to remain 05Parp4    92:14 | been able to remain united, had we not split and argued 05Parp4    92:14 | split and argued, we would have shown those coming against us 05Parp4    92:15 | in Peroz’ reign, who now have station and honor, are princes 05Parp4    92:15 | men whom you know we have, who lack house, servant, brigade 05Parp4    93:0 | about (his willingness to) submit has removed all the great sorrow 05Parp4    93:0 | and the dark cloud which has come upon my heart, (Vahan’s 05Parp4    93:0 | upon my heart, (Vahan’s words) have consoled and gladdened me 05Parp4    93:3 | and the entire brigade he had. But all the oath-breaking 05Parp4    93:5 | gather in assembly, and he had Vahan Mamikonean brought to his 05Parp4    93:7 | Nixor ordered all who had come with Vahan Mamikonean, naxarars 05Parp4    93:8 | permit those (oath-breakers) who had made themselves loyal to the 05Parp4    93:8 | are no good for anything having to do with wise words 05Parp4    93:12 | church rhetorician said, their color had languished and waned and they 05Parp4    93:16 | to hear what the princes had to say 05Parp4    93:18 | When Vahan Mamikonean had repeated in the atean the 05Parp4    93:18 | atean the same things (he had said before), he started to 05Parp4    94:0 | When Vahan Mamikonean had said all this, Nixor heard 05Parp4    94:1 | Zareh, resisting what the Aryans have done, has yet organized a 05Parp4    94:1 | what the Aryans have done, has yet organized a brigade, to 05Parp4    94:1 | go to court you will have shown a great deed of 05Parp4    94:2 | For the king has also ordered me to quickly 05Parp4    94:5 | bridge of Artashat ruined. This had happened partly from the recourse 05Parp4    95:4 | Vahan Mamikonean, as follows: “We have fully heard about all the 05Parp4    95:4 | did you err in what had been said 05Parp4    95:5 | For had you alone been lost to 05Parp4    95:5 | and arrogance, the damage would have been light. When one servant 05Parp4    95:6 | Now had you been the cause of 05Parp4    95:7 | died), while those who lived have done so even more bravely 05Parp4    95:10 | and all the court nobility have been shown through Nixor’s written 05Parp4    95:16 | of your Aryan military commanders have been in diverse places, and 05Parp4    95:16 | say what prominent accomplishment they have done which was seen by 05Parp4    95:20 | But the last have been made first, the bad 05Parp4    95:23 | When Vahan Mamikonean had spoken all these words before 05Parp4    95:25 | keeping naxarars: “Everything which you have thought about and revealed which 05Parp4    96:2 | responded, saying: “I do not have the authority to resist your 05Parp4    96:2 | your wishes and what you have done for me is very 05Parp4    96:6 | Vagharsh and all the nobility had received all of them full 05Parp4    96:8 | king Vagharsh: “Whatever benevolence you have done for me could only 05Parp4    96:8 | done for me could only have been done by God Who 05Parp4    96:8 | all people.

But I have a small and pleasant city 06Khor2    31:8 | some of the Gentiles who had come to him; therefore, those 06Khor2    32:2 | who believes in me without having seen me. For thus it 06Khor2    32:4 | And when I have completed this, then I shall 06Khor2    32:4 | who sent me. When I have ascended, I shall send one 06Khor2    32:5 | Savior’s portrait from life, which has remained in the city of 06Khor2    33:3 | of the Bagratuni family.

And 06Khor2    33:43 | fire and water. And he has been sent to Armenia, having 06Khor2    33:43 | has been sent to Armenia, having drawn that lot 06Khor2    33:44 | principal companions, Simon by name, has been sent to Persia. If 06Khor2    33:49 | know that by now you have heard about Jesus Christ, the 06Khor2    33:53 | And before he had received replies to these letters 06Khor2    33:53 | to these letters Abgar died, having reigned for thirty-eight years 06Khor2    34:3 | Whatever occurred in their time has been previously described by others 06Khor2    34:4 | All this, as we have said, others have related before 06Khor2    34:4 | as we have said, others have related before us, so we 06Khor2    34:5 | the hands of Abgar’s son has been described by others before 06Khor2    34:11 | We have recorded this very briefly as 06Khor2    34:11 | this very briefly as it has been related by others before 06Khor2    34:14 | do not know. But I have merely noted this so that 06Khor2    34:14 | you may know that I have spared no efforts in telling 06Khor2    35:4 | For he had a marble pillar set up 06Khor2    35:7 | for the benefits that he had gained from Abgar through her 06Khor2    35:8 | during the famine that Agabus had predicted. Spending all her treasures 06Khor2    36:2 | various acts of Sanatruk we have considered nothing worthy of recording 06Khor2    36:3 | Because it had been destroyed by an earthquake 06Khor2    37:10 | But when Eruand became king, having suspicions of the sons of 06Khor2    37:12 | name, whom his wet nurse had taken, escaped to the regions 06Khor2    38:6 | so much futile trouble? You have been deceived by that wet 06Khor2    38:8 | Then Eruand sent and had killed the brave men in 06Khor2    39:2 | Armavir, for the River Araxes had shifted to a distance, and 06Khor2    40:2 | When Eruand had built his own city he 06Khor2    40:2 | that is, in it he had set up the complex of 06Khor2    40:3 | And having built temples he appointed his 06Khor2    42:10 | Eruand that through magic he had the evil eye. So, the 06Khor2    42:10 | who attended him at daybreak had the habit of placing hard 06Khor2    42:11 | a fable or else he had some demonic power in himself 06Khor2    43:2 | and after his tutor Smbat had shown many brave acts of 06Khor2    43:4 | Artashēs son of Sanatruk who has been banished from his own 06Khor2    44:2 | Uti that the Persian king had gathered a great force under 06Khor2    44:5 | For Eruand had restored to him the second 06Khor2    44:5 | the second rank, which Tigran had taken from him and given 06Khor2    44:5 | but after Mihrdat’s death it had not been given to anyone 06Khor2    45:3 | also the princes whom Eruand had left behind 06Khor2    45:4 | saw that the Roman army had not come to his support 06Khor2    46:6 | leave him with whatever he had obtained from Eruand and would 06Khor2    46:12 | the cost of their lives had made a pact with Eruand 06Khor2    46:13 | foot and slew them, thereby having half of his face cut 06Khor2    46:19 | called the meadow where he had camped over the corpses Marats’ 06Khor2    46:20 | amat,” which means “the Mede has come,” to remind him of 06Khor2    46:20 | of the insult when Eruand had sent to the Persian king 06Khor2    46:22 | But Smbat, who had pursued Eruand at night with 06Khor2    46:24 | such a blow he died, having held the throne for twenty 06Khor2    46:25 | But Artashēs remembered that Eruand had some Arsacid blood and ordered 06Khor2    47:3 | Having gained the throne, Artashēs gave 06Khor2    47:4 | the second rank that he had promised, a crown decorated with 06Khor2    47:4 | one foot, the right to have a golden spoon and fork 06Khor2    47:6 | his father. For as we have said, half of his face 06Khor2    47:7 | the informing that their father had done from the king’s house 06Khor2    47:7 | and for that reason he had been put to death by 06Khor2    48:7 | slaves of Eruaz whom he had taken captive in Bagaran and 06Khor2    48:9 | But when Smbat had gone to Persia, the emperor’s 06Khor2    48:10 | many other deeds that we have to relate and to which 06Khor2    49:6 | capital the Jewish captives who had been transferred there from Armavir 06Khor2    49:7 | Eruand’s capital that the latter had brought from Armavir, plus those 06Khor2    49:7 | Armavir, plus those that he had constructed there, Artashēs transferred to 06Khor2    50:2 | At that time the Alans, having united with all the mountain 06Khor2    50:2 | all the mountain peoples and having brought over to their side 06Khor2    50:5 | But because the Armenian army had captured the son of the 06Khor2    50:5 | of the Alan king and had brought him to Artashēs, the 06Khor2    50:6 | you, valiant Artashēs, that you have conquered the brave nation of 06Khor2    50:16 | For our kings had the custom of going to 06Khor2    52:2 | beauty of his hair. He had a small blood mark in 06Khor2    52:2 | prudent in all things and had a gift for success in 06Khor2    52:4 | For Sat’inik’s father had died and someone else was 06Khor2    52:4 | land of the Alans and had expelled Sat’inik’s brother. But Smbat 06Khor2    52:5 | province of Shavarshan, though it has kept in addition its original 06Khor2    53:9 | In his old age he had married an Assyrian from near 06Khor2    55:2 | emperor of the Romans, and having pacified all the east he 06Khor2    55:2 | on the Egyptians and Palestinians. Having subjected them to his authority 06Khor2    55:3 | tribute of the previous years. Having obtained pardon from him, he 06Khor2    55:4 | passed on into Persia, and having accomplished all his desires returned 06Khor2    55:6 | Smbat’s behalf, for the latter had raised him. Likewise, he planned 06Khor2    56:2 | to be distinguished. For he had increased the population of Armenia 06Khor2    56:3 | the earth. Over them he had fitted four-sided obelisks, a 06Khor2    58:2 | related to Sat’inik and who had come with her, were established 06Khor2    58:2 | the colony of Basiḷk’ that had come to Armenia 06Khor2    59:2 | days of Artashēs, therefore we have divided them into many chapters 06Khor2    59:2 | the account. This last chapter has the purpose of recording still 06Khor2    60:3 | At the time the Jews had revolted against Hadrian, the Roman 06Khor2    60:3 | Hadrian, the Roman emperor, and had made war with the eparch 06Khor2    60:3 | he greatly boasted that he had sprung from heaven as their 06Khor2    60:4 | tribute to the Romans. It had also been heard that leprosy 06Khor2    60:4 | also been heard that leprosy had afflicted Hadrian 06Khor2    60:7 | he built up Jerusalem, which had been destroyed by Vespasian and 06Khor2    60:11 | He had not returned when Artashēs died 06Khor2    61:2 | Tiran his successor, for he had no son 06Khor2    61:9 | of the descendants of Azhdahak had set a spell upon him 06Khor2    62:4 | He had two horses that were swifter 06Khor2    62:5 | it is cramped, since we have multiplied greatly 06Khor2    62:7 | among them what they did have 06Khor2    62:9 | of Artavazd’s wives, whom he had brought from Greece 06Khor2    62:10 | And because Artavazd had no child, the king left 06Khor2    62:12 | Persian friend of his who had become related by marriage to 06Khor2    62:12 | Vaspurakan and to whom he had given the town of Tateawn 06Khor2    63:5 | regions of Media. After he had arrived in the land of 06Khor2    63:6 | to a banquet. When they had become merry with wine, Trdat 06Khor2    64:6 | they were personally renowned and had fought the Greeks for his 06Khor2    64:8 | the last Tigran, although you have frequently begged us to do 06Khor2    64:9 | far as was possible we have avoided superfluous and elaborate accounts 06Khor2    65:5 | was descended from Hayk; Vardgēs, having married his sister, built this 06Khor2    65:7 | Having ruled for twenty years he 06Khor2    66:5 | the fortress of Ani; and having read the temple history, which 06Khor2    66:5 | kings, he himself added whatever had happened in his own time 06Khor2    66:8 | from this history that we have taken our account and repeated 06Khor2    67:8 | Now although Agathangelos has thus given a brief account 06Khor2    67:8 | of these events, nonetheless I have decided to rehearse the history 06Khor2    68:8 | Arshavir had three sons and a daughter 06Khor2    68:11 | When Artashēs had obtained this from them, he 06Khor2    68:13 | superfluous work in that we have again said what has already 06Khor2    68:13 | we have again said what has already been told. But know 06Khor2    69:6 | kingdom until its demise, they had relations with the Romans, sometimes 06Khor2    70:2 | royal officers with Jovian and, having been converted to our faith 06Khor2    70:3 | the Persians called Rastsohun. We have based our account on this 06Khor2    70:5 | the single combat, and whatever has the character of allegory 06Khor2    71:2 | After Artashir, son of Sasan, had killed Artavan and gained the 06Khor2    72:5 | Having acquired such a multitude of 06Khor2    72:5 | the other lands where he had a royal residence 06Khor2    72:8 | of his own messengers who had gone to the more illustrious 06Khor2    72:8 | branch of the Karēn Pahlav had not given obeisance to Artashir 06Khor2    73:2 | himself with his united forces had caught up with them and 06Khor2    73:2 | his house, Burz by name, had taken in flight to the 06Khor2    73:2 | him from his kin who had rallied together, even when he 06Khor2    73:3 | For this reason the Persians have composed myriad fables about him 06Khor2    73:5 | slow in seeking. Although Philip had died and the Roman empire 06Khor2    73:5 | army and other friends who had rallied to him and with 06Khor2    74:9 | old man, who note: “I have from my ancestors the tradition 06Khor2    74:11 | of that same apostle, and having been begotten beside his grave 06Khor2    74:12 | After two years had passed since Anak’s arrival in 06Khor2    74:12 | third he killed Khosrov, who had reigned forty-eight years 06Khor2    75:2 | scholar who in his youth had gone to study with Origen 06Khor2    75:6 | names nor the places, we have not considered them important enough 06Khor2    75:9 | Trdat and after him, we have not erred through laziness or 06Khor2    75:9 | through laziness or negligence, nor have we set down anything in 06Khor2    75:10 | So having accurately gained our information in 06Khor2    75:10 | wise men and antiquarians, we have given you a faithful account 06Khor2    76:4 | Goths, crossing the River Danube, had taken many provinces captive and 06Khor2    76:4 | taken many provinces captive and had plundered the Cyclades Islands, for 06Khor2    77:3 | nobility, brought back those who had emigrated, and destroyed their fortified 06Khor2    77:3 | the daughter of Khosrov. He had ensconced himself in the fortress 06Khor2    77:5 | Likewise the Arsacids, who had been deprived of the crown 06Khor2    77:7 | But the statues that Vaḷarshak had set up as the images 06Khor2    77:7 | moon at Armavir, and which had been transferred from Armavir to 06Khor2    78:2 | Artashir had heard that one of the 06Khor2    78:2 | one of the Armenian princes had fled with one of Khosrov’s 06Khor2    78:3 | Having investigated who that might be 06Khor2    78:4 | When the Armenians had fled from Artashir, these too 06Khor2    78:4 | fled from Artashir, these too had fled with the families of 06Khor2    78:4 | other princes.

They had inflicted many wounds on his 06Khor2    83:5 | Constantius, the Roman emperor, who had not been born from Maximian’s 06Khor2    83:8 | when in great distress he had fallen asleep, there appeared to 06Khor2    83:12 | wailing of their mothers, he had pity and spared them, preferring 06Khor2    83:13 | on being persecuted by him had hidden in the mountain of 06Khor2    84:3 | of the Amatuni family and had been the guardian of Khosrovidukht 06Khor2    84:4 | arrived from the west, and having learned about all this and 06Khor2    84:4 | learned about all this and having discovered that Shapuh had not 06Khor2    84:4 | and having discovered that Shapuh had not arrived at the appointed 06Khor2    84:5 | was called Oḷakan, where he had as refuge the inhabitants of 06Khor2    84:9 | execute whatever we wish. I have decided to ally myself with 06Khor2    84:9 | because of the insults I have suffered from the king 06Khor2    84:15 | edict that he was to have authority over all the lands 06Khor2    84:15 | all the lands that he had promised, and he made him 06Khor2    85:4 | right armpit, for he, Trdat had raised his arm to strike 06Khor2    85:7 | And although no small losses had befallen his own army and 06Khor2    85:7 | and many of the nobles had fallen - among whom the commander 06Khor2    85:9 | But now we have to tell of the conversion 06Khor2    86:2 | companions of Saint Rhipsimē who had fled to Georgia, to Mtskheta 06Khor2    86:2 | extremely ascetic life. Thus, she had cured many afflicted people, most 06Khor2    86:4 | him of the miracles that had been worked in Armenia for 06Khor2    86:6 | fear he remembered what he had heard about Trdat: that when 06Khor2    86:6 | about Trdat: that when he had set out intending to go 06Khor2    86:6 | hunting, torments from the Lord had fallen upon him. He reckoned 06Khor2    86:8 | then on, for the Georgians had happily accepted the preaching of 06Khor2    86:9 | the idols, just as he had done himself, and to set 06Khor2    86:10 | the powerful river Kura.

Behold, our 08Ghev1    8:9 | to listen, since their hearts had been hardened by the Lord 08Ghev1    8:11 | day broke, when morning matins had ended, they celebrated the divine 08Ghev1    8:14 | from unleashing their might.

You say that we have found in the Psalms of 08Ghev1    14:11 | not the first time we have searched for and found such 08Ghev1    14:11 | will of God that Christianity has been preached, after it was 08Ghev1    14:12 | all you write that we have contended ourselves with these words 08Ghev1    14:12 | ourselves with these words and had faith in them, without paying 08Ghev1    14:12 | due attention to what Jesus has said about His own person 08Ghev1    14:13 | following your own words, to have had faith in the infallible 08Ghev1    14:13 | your own words, to have had faith in the infallible and 08Ghev1    14:14 | not oppose Him, as they have done 08Ghev1    14:15 | the Lord, in the Gospels, has borne testimony to His Person 08Ghev1    14:15 | testimony to His Person, and having become incarnate, cited in the 08Ghev1    14:15 | the testimonies which the Prophets had given of Him before His 08Ghev1    14:17 | Secondly, you have written that “Jesus indeed merits 08Ghev1    14:17 | better than all those who have written about Him, and whose 08Ghev1    14:17 | about Him, and whose writings have been falsified by people whom 08Ghev1    14:21 | head of your religion who has taught you this, he has 08Ghev1    14:21 | has taught you this, he has forgotten himself, and if it 08Ghev1    14:21 | it is some other, he has only lied the worse.

You would rather have us declare that it was 08Ghev1    14:56 | composed that, even though you have deceitfully publicized that God sent 08Ghev1    14:57 | that, since that time, falsifications have been introduced into the Gospel 08Ghev1    14:57 | or by others? What could have hindered us from removing from 08Ghev1    14:58 | know this also, that God has not willed to instruct the 08Ghev1    14:58 | angels to meet people. He has chosen the way of sending 08Ghev1    14:58 | this reason that the Lord, having finished all those things that 08Ghev1    14:58 | all those things that He had decided on be-forehand, and 08Ghev1    14:58 | decided on be-forehand, and having announced them before the incarnation 08Ghev1    14:59 | them of all that He had said, all that He had 08Ghev1    14:59 | had said, all that He had done before their eyes, all 08Ghev1    14:59 | grace” eucharistein, a meaning which has no connection with the word 08Ghev1    14:61 | As to what the Lord has said concerning the Holy Spirit 08Ghev1    14:61 | your remembrance all that I have said to you.” [John 14:26]. He also 08Ghev1    14:62 | As I have already said earlier, our Creator 08Ghev1    14:63 | of the Prophet Daniel, God has revealed to us the three 08Ghev1    14:64 | None of the Prophets has announced to the world a 08Ghev1    14:65 | You have further stated that, after the 08Ghev1    14:66 | to your own people, it has been a hundred years, more 08Ghev1    14:67 | a few of which have come to our attention as 08Ghev1    14:68 | among you. As for yourself, have you not thought that by 08Ghev1    14:69 | speaking a single language, and having at your head a single 08Ghev1    14:70 | Christ appeared, and His Gospel has been spread from one end 08Ghev1    14:71 | I have said minor, because there has 08Ghev1    14:71 | have said minor, because there has never been that bitter hostility 08Ghev1    14:71 | among the seventy-two, you have included all the voluptuous, impure 08Ghev1    14:71 | as with pagans, indeed, God has long since made them disappear 08Ghev1    14:72 | Christians as seventy races, which have all received holy baptism, the 08Ghev1    14:72 | ours; above all those who have fallen under your tyranny, yet 08Ghev1    14:72 | none the less Christians, these have no need to be baptized 08Ghev1    14:73 | live as foreigners afar off, have not been able to acquire 08Ghev1    14:73 | such as they ought to have. Yet the Scripture are the 08Ghev1    14:74 | and salvific knowledge of God has been spread abroad, let me 08Ghev1    14:75 | or two of these people have introduced changes in the books 08Ghev1    14:75 | You yourself, on the contrary, have already shown the habit of 08Ghev1    14:76 | a thing as this would have been impossible among us. First 08Ghev1    14:76 | First of all, because God has given us the strictest order 08Ghev1    14:76 | to act so, it would have been impossible for him to 08Ghev1    14:76 | bring together skilled interpreters, and have them examine the books and 08Ghev1    14:77 | opinions. Yet no such thing has taken place, neither amongst those 08Ghev1    14:81 | books of Moses which you have not read, neither you nor 08Ghev1    14:87 | which, as long as it has not proceeded from our mouths 08Ghev1    14:87 | and as soon as it has gone out, decomposes and dissipates 08Ghev1    14:89 | rendering him such homage) you have well evidenced your pride, so 08Ghev1    14:89 | ought to occupy, as you have said 08Ghev1    14:93 | subsequent misery into which man had fallen in doing that which 08Ghev1    14:94 | little by little, as I have noted above, until the right 08Ghev1    14:95 | attribute to Him all that has been said as to His 08Ghev1    14:95 | the other hand, all that has been said as to His 08Ghev1    14:97 | of one single prophet, there have appeared a great number. Nevertheless 08Ghev1    14:100 | are my son, today I have begotten you’.” [Psalm 2:7]. To indicate the 08Ghev1    14:101 | beauty of your saints I have begotten you from the womb 08Ghev1    14:102 | mouth.” [Psalm 33:5-6]. Isaiah (says): “The Lord has sent me and his Spirit 08Ghev1    14:106 | Listen to what has been said. Here the Prophet 08Ghev1    14:110 | is that whatever Agag may have been, he was but temporal 08Ghev1    14:111 | David, terrestrial king, as we have often told you 08Ghev1    14:112 | throughout all generations. May he have dominion from sea to sea 08Ghev1    14:113 | him blessed.” [Psalm 72:5, 8, 11,15b, 17]. Can one, after having heard such expressions, attribute them 08Ghev1    14:116 | in the earth, for they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain 08Ghev1    14:117 | obstinate Jews, but those who have seen the Word of God 08Ghev1    14:117 | the Word of God, and have believed that He was God 08Ghev1    14:118 | people), listen to what Isaiah had to say: “For to us 08Ghev1    14:120 | reign over Israel, because this has no reference to a contemporary 08Ghev1    14:120 | to that of which God has spoken to David in these 08Ghev1    14:123 | on this subject) but I have preferred to limit them for 08Ghev1    14:125 | death, as the holy Gospels have told us, which you may 08Ghev1    14:125 | find it such as we have presented it to you 08Ghev1    14:126 | He who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me 08Ghev1    14:126 | of him; for that which has not been told them they 08Ghev1    14:126 | see, and that which they have not heard they shall understand 08Ghev1    14:127 | Lord, who has believed what we have heard 08Ghev1    14:127 | who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has 08Ghev1    14:127 | have heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord 08Ghev1    14:127 | out of dry ground; he had no form or comeliness that 08Ghev1    14:128 | Surely he has borne our griefs and carried 08Ghev1    14:129 | All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned 08Ghev1    14:129 | sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own 08Ghev1    14:129 | own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity 08Ghev1    14:130 | in his death), although he had done no violence, and there 08Ghev1    14:132 | Is it that you have forgotten, though may be you 08Ghev1    14:132 | thirty-two generations? If you had a countenance that was sensitive 08Ghev1    14:132 | of stone, truly you would have blushed at such impostures absolutely 08Ghev1    14:134 | that the Hebrews and we have altered them, though you recognize 08Ghev1    14:134 | for a moment that ours have been falsified and corrupted, where 08Ghev1    14:135 | the very least, you will have to admit that even you 08Ghev1    14:135 | to admit that even you have never seen them, and we 08Ghev1    14:135 | you still pretend that we have falsified them? At least quote 08Ghev1    14:136 | other faith nor commandment that has been given men by God 08Ghev1    14:137 | tell us nothing about Abraham having gone to the place which 08Ghev1    14:137 | of the Communion you will have my response in its proper 08Ghev1    14:138 | them properly. Jesus, as God, had no need of prayers, but 08Ghev1    14:140 | eminent and the most humiliating. Had those who preceded us been 08Ghev1    14:140 | able, or if we ourselves had thought of introducing some changes 08Ghev1    14:140 | would not these humiliating traits have been suppressed? (Jesus) note: “The 08Ghev1    14:141 | sweat, and of which He had said before His incarnation: “In 08Ghev1    14:141 | also believe in what He has said in the same book 08Ghev1    14:141 | of my own accord. I have power to lay it down 08Ghev1    14:141 | lay it down, and I have power to take it again 08Ghev1    14:142 | came from the Father, and have come into the world; again 08Ghev1    14:144 | nature, for otherwise He would have not said a little later 08Ghev1    14:144 | and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.” [John 17:3]. In this passage Jesus 08Ghev1    14:144 | In this passage Jesus Christ has been honored by the very 08Ghev1    14:145 | Had He been merely a Prophet 08Ghev1    14:145 | merely a Prophet, He must have only said that they may 08Ghev1    14:146 | a true God, as I have mentioned several times. Under the 08Ghev1    14:148 | But why have you not read what follows 08Ghev1    14:148 | created immediately by God, without having parents 08Ghev1    14:149 | giving death, of which you have heard, you insist on saying 08Ghev1    14:150 | who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does 08Ghev1    14:152 | The Word of God himself, having come into the world in 08Ghev1    14:152 | into the world in flesh, has note: “He who has seen 08Ghev1    14:152 | flesh, has note: “He who has seen me has seen the 08Ghev1    14:152 | He who has seen me has seen the Father” [John 14:9], “as the 08Ghev1    14:152 | the Father” [John 10:15], “the Father who has sent me is with me 08Ghev1    14:153 | His human nature, which He has in common with us. (Jesus 08Ghev1    14:153 | His disciples): “As the Father has sent me, even so I 08Ghev1    14:154 | sacrifice, you pretend that we have changed them at will, altering 08Ghev1    14:154 | of bread and cup. We have not modified anything; it was 08Ghev1    14:155 | the Passover, and which He had given to be kept in 08Ghev1    14:157 | brethren, Eldest among the dead. Had I recognized you as one 08Ghev1    14:157 | who seeks justice, nothing would have hindered me from giving exposition 08Ghev1    14:158 | circumcision, you pretend that we have replaced it by baptism. The 08Ghev1    14:160 | As for us, we have not received any command to 08Ghev1    14:160 | Master of the true Law, had not eliminated circumcision, as well 08Ghev1    14:161 | time as ours, when God has delivered the human race by 08Ghev1    14:163 | the Prophet’s prediction that “I have given you as a light 08Ghev1    14:163 | people who sat in darkness have seen a great light 08Ghev1    14:164 | Nor have we substituted Sunday for the 08Ghev1    14:164 | pretend unwisely. Among yourselves, Friday has been set as the day 08Ghev1    14:165 | of the Lord, who thereby has promised us resurrection, to say 08Ghev1    14:166 | We have neither received command to refrain 08Ghev1    14:166 | therein, following the Jews, nor have we stayed away from preparing 08Ghev1    14:168 | Nor have I forgotten the objection raised 08Ghev1    14:169 | a multitude of creatures God has brought into being by His 08Ghev1    14:171 | eyes nothing of all that has been created by Him is 08Ghev1    14:172 | God then, who has so honored man by creating 08Ghev1    14:172 | save him, since, as I have said, there is nothing unclean 08Ghev1    14:173 | unclean in our human nature have been organized so by God 08Ghev1    14:176 | befits the ever-living to have been a living temple I 08Ghev1    14:177 | His saints, of whom He has spoken many times in such 08Ghev1    14:177 | above all, of those who have suffered death in His cause 08Ghev1    14:178 | great number of saints’ bones have been ground to powder or 08Ghev1    14:179 | the foolish they seemed to have died, but they are at 08Ghev1    14:180 | of the prophet Elisha and had touched his bones, came back 08Ghev1    14:182 | under eternal death, as it has been predicted by our Lord 08Ghev1    14:183 | camel, at the same time had decapitated a number of Christian 08Ghev1    14:183 | remains of the martyrs who have shown the profession of their 08Ghev1    14:184 | Aaron) was clean and holy having the form of a living 08Ghev1    14:187 | pay them like respect, not having received any commandment to that 08Ghev1    14:187 | in the Holy Scriptures. We have, however, in the Old Testament 08Ghev1    14:187 | command which authorized Moses to have the figures of the Cherubim 08Ghev1    14:188 | for the incarnate Lord Himself, have always felt a desire to 08Ghev1    14:188 | to conserve their images, which have come down to us from 08Ghev1    14:188 | times as their living representation. Having them (their images) in front 08Ghev1    14:188 | we joyfully glorify God who has saved us by the intercession 08Ghev1    14:188 | a similar figure, and who has glorified His saints. But as 08Ghev1    14:189 | do not feel ashamed to have venerated that house of yours 08Ghev1    14:192 | they are forbid-den to have such intercourse according to the 08Ghev1    14:193 | or were able, they would have destroyed you as by fire 08Ghev1    14:193 | the stones cast; the flight; having your head shaven, and the 08Ghev1    14:194 | you by your legislator to have an affair with your wives 08Ghev1    14:194 | with your wives which he has compared, I am ashamed to 08Ghev1    14:194 | you acquired the habit of having affair with women, as if 08Ghev1    14:194 | all these unclean acts, which has doubtless been the cause of 08Ghev1    14:196 | pardon. In the Gospel God has commanded the husband not to 08Ghev1    14:198 | is said that the serpent has intimate relations with the murines 08Ghev1    14:200 | just, you pretend that we have represented the former as the 08Ghev1    14:204 | human race whose nature He had taken upon Himself and met 08Ghev1    14:205 | will of God. So he has nothing to expect but the 08Ghev1    14:206 | want to forget what you had said about the vision of 08Ghev1    14:208 | the Jewish people who, although have read the Law and the 08Ghev1    14:208 | by the teaching of Satan, have refused to submit and accept 08Ghev1    14:209 | pretext of conserving the Law, has made you also fail into 08Ghev1    14:209 | also fail into idolatry. I have said above that the two 08Ghev1    14:210 | refuge other than your desert, has led the two horses of 08Ghev1    14:211 | It is thus that he has led you to circumcise yourselves 08Ghev1    14:212 | You have the same faith in them 08Ghev1    14:213 | the celestial kingdom, since we have obeyed the doctrines of the 08Ghev1    14:213 | such that “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, what 08Ghev1    14:213 | nor ear heard, what God has prepared for those who love 08Ghev1    14:213 | remain forever virgin, and to have children by them, for we 08Ghev1    14:215 | to carnal vices, and who have never put limit to your 08Ghev1    14:216 | unshakable and imperishable faith, we have endured at your hands and 08Ghev1    14:217 | again, “In the world you have tribulation.” [John 16:33]. (Jesus Christ) in His 08Ghev1    14:217 | to the Father, note: “ (I have manifested thy name to the 08Ghev1    14:220 | world with all those who have loved to see the coming 08Ghev1    16:1 | dominical crosses of Christ which had been erected in many places 08Ghev1    16:2 | Having reached the apex of his 08Ghev1    17:1 | caliph) ’Umar, as though he had inappropriately spent the treasures which 08Ghev1    17:1 | inappropriately spent the treasures which had been accumulated by the caliphs 08Ghev1    18:0 | who was styled the Khaqan, had died 08Ghev1    18:2 | equippage and those whom they had enslaved by their swords near 08Ghev1    18:3 | them and took those they had enslaved 08Ghev1    18:4 | heard about the evils which had befallen them, they left that 08Ghev1    18:4 | went against the brigand who had attacked their camp 08Ghev1    18:5 | statue which the Harashi brigade have with them to this day 08Ghev1    18:7 | there he found that he had not come in time to 08Ghev1    18:7 | in the warfare, since Sa’id had already secured the victory. And 08Ghev1    18:7 | order because (al-Harashi’s) clansmen had arisen and were creating an 08Ghev1    19:4 | take care as the emperor had ordered. For he had heard 08Ghev1    19:4 | emperor had ordered. For he had heard that the Ishmaelite general 08Ghev1    19:4 | heard that the Ishmaelite general had called upon his troops to 08Ghev1    19:5 | Now when (the Byzantine troops) had arisen and were approaching the 08Ghev1    19:5 | pursuit since (the Byzantine army had stirred up and was) accompanied 08Ghev1    19:8 | blessed the triumph which he had achieved 08Ghev1    20:1 | return to him until he had implemented his will, for he 08Ghev1    20:1 | implemented his will, for he had vowed that he would destroy 08Ghev1    20:1 | cathedral of) St. Sophia, which had been built with heavenly wisdom 08Ghev1    20:3 | Why this stubborness, and why have you not come forth to 08Ghev1    20:4 | Could it be that you have not heard about the evils 08Ghev1    20:4 | our sovereignty, kingdoms which we have smashed and pulverized like clay 08Ghev1    20:4 | pots? All the world’s wealth has become ours because the Lord’s 08Ghev1    20:4 | made) to our father Ishmael has been fulfilled. And indeed, we 08Ghev1    20:4 | been fulfilled. And indeed, we have conquered every kingdom 08Ghev1    20:5 | Or perhaps you have not observed how many calamities 08Ghev1    20:5 | not observed how many calamities have been visited upon your country 08Ghev1    20:5 | With my own hand I have ruined many of your cities 08Ghev1    20:5 | with my own sword I have slain multitudes of your troops 08Ghev1    20:6 | do not become tributary I have sworn an oath that I 08Ghev1    20:6 | of my birth until I have eliminated your kingdom and wrecked 08Ghev1    20:7 | Leo), as soon as he had read the mocking letter ordered 08Ghev1    20:8 | Savior who from the start had reserved mercy for those dear 08Ghev1    20:10 | which says: “How the enemy have corrupted Your holy place and 08Ghev1    20:10 | holy place and Your enemies have boasted of their wealth. They 08Ghev1    20:14 | the way you do. It has never entered your mind that 08Ghev1    20:17 | of Christ which today you have insulted 08Ghev1    20:18 | and deliver us those who have troubled us, with their heads 08Ghev1    20:20 | at once, since the ships had been in readiness for many 08Ghev1    20:24 | God, saviour of the world.” Having broadcast these words to the 08Ghev1    20:25 | sea just as Pharaoh’s troops had borne (divine) wrath from the 08Ghev1    20:26 | men. As for those who had escaped the disaster and were 08Ghev1    20:27 | descended upon those troops which had already devoured their own horses 08Ghev1    20:27 | entreaties to Emperor Leo to have mercy on them and give 08Ghev1    20:28 | Leo, considering that the Lord had exacted revenge upon the enemy 08Ghev1    20:29 | of life. Indeed, the Lord has judged my case and turned 08Ghev1    20:29 | powers of God which you have witnessed 08Ghev1    20:30 | life. The crimes which I have committed against your country are 08Ghev1    20:30 | not few in number. You have displayed great mercy to me 08Ghev1    20:30 | my own errors. Since it has entered your heart to have 08Ghev1    20:30 | has entered your heart to have mercy on me, release me 08Ghev1    21:1 | When Marwan had reached the city of Dwin 08Ghev1    21:2 | honor given to Ashot, who had been exalted by Hisham and 08Ghev1    21:5 | authority of the patrician Ashot had been established (Ashot [III] Bagratuni, presiding 08Ghev1    21:5 | years the stipend (which should have been paid) to the Armenian 08Ghev1    21:5 | lords and to their cavalry had been withheld.

We are brothers 08Ghev1    24:4 | Despite having said this, the next day 08Ghev1    24:5 | those sons of Ishmael who had been steadfastly resisting, were (captured 08Ghev1    24:5 | tied to four posts and had their faces scraped off with 08Ghev1    24:7 | revoke the punishment, because they have threshed the women with child 08Ghev1    25:5 | destroyed his foes for they had heard the news of his 08Ghev1    25:5 | the Patrician of the Armenians had come to (the caliph’s) assistance 08Ghev1    25:8 | and what Grigor’s brother Dawit’ had done to him, sent an 08Ghev1    25:11 | When these wicked deeds had been done, Marwan once more 08Ghev1    26:2 | by this hopeless idea—he had his doubts. He summoned his 08Ghev1    26:6 | Once they had ratified this agreement, they withdrew 08Ghev1    26:7 | with the rebels’ brigade. They had neither fear of God nor 08Ghev1    26:10 | Grigor had for some time wanted to 08Ghev1    26:12 | Subsequently they realized (what they had wrought) but were unable to 08Ghev1    26:12 | cry. For the splendid crown had fallen from their heads and 08Ghev1    26:15 | Ashot, who had held authority for [17] years with 08Ghev1    27:2 | observed the unbearable danger which had increased amongst them, they tried 08Ghev1    27:8 | blood of the kinsfolk he had shed 08Ghev1    28:4 | mouth of that dragon which had attacked to wreck the country 08Ghev1    28:5 | When they had satisfied his wicked appetite, he 08Ghev1    28:9 | of silver, which until then had come from the (caliph’s) court 08Ghev1    28:9 | come from the (caliph’s) court, had been terminated. Moreover (the Arabs 08Ghev1    30:6 | lords with them learned (what had happened). They went to the 08Ghev1    30:7 | by the same route (they had come by). Afterwards some of 08Ghev1    31:7 | shadow (of the Khazars) which had darkened the country of the 08Ghev1    32:0 | Saleh (al-Kindi) whom Abdullah had initially sent to the land 08Ghev1    32:5 | from him the silver he had demanded as tax from the 08Ghev1    34:6 | that the sons of Hmayeak had worked these criminal acts. Hasan 08Ghev1    34:8 | since the discovery of silver had completely ended in the land 08Ghev1    34:10 | in his own home. They had come to demand from him 08Ghev1    34:10 | bloodprice for those clanmates who had been killed. (Mushegh) put them 08Ghev1    34:13 | heavily armed sons of Ishmael had arrived from the city of 08Ghev1    34:14 | of Xars where (the Arabs) had encamped their forces in the 08Ghev1    34:22 | the time of your salvation has arrived, for soon the royal 08Ghev1    34:31 | dragon; and furthermore (their leader) has a limitless host at his 08Ghev1    34:41 | Abdullah (Caliph al-Mansur) himself had built, that city, securely fortified 08Ghev1    34:43 | without moustaches or seasoned fighters. Having been informed about all this 08Ghev1    34:49 | of the sons of Ishmael had arrived and were awaiting them 08Ghev1    34:57 | besieging the city of Karin had brought it close to the 08Ghev1    34:57 | to the breaking point. Famine had become very severe there and 08Ghev1    34:58 | of the city. They could have left for Byzantine parts and 08Ghev1    34:59 | Having so resolved, despite the fact 08Ghev1    34:62 | them. For many of them had fallen (and their corpses) covered 08Ghev1    34:64 | enemy’s sword confront us and have their way with us. Let 08Ghev1    34:65 | the hour of our death has arrived 08Ghev1    34:67 | They also confirmed that they had seen clerics and priests with 08Ghev1    34:73 | the dead openly and to have funeral meals in their homes 08Ghev1    35:1 | symbol of Christ’s Cross which had been erected at the entrances 08Ghev1    35:1 | and protection for those who had come to worship the consubstantial 08Ghev1    35:2 | the leaders of those who had died in the battle. 2 From 08Ghev1    35:2 | booty. Once the infidel troops had loaded up with this spoil 08Ghev1    35:2 | conquered the strongholds where people had taken refuge, summoning them to 08Ghev1    35:3 | the Armenians as though he had enjoyed some wonderful and valiant 08Ghev1    36:1 | Abdullah (Abu Jafar al-Manur), having worked all the malice his 08Ghev1    36:2 | certain priest. For (this priest) had a vision a few days 08Ghev1    37:1 | which the impious al-Mansur had kept closed, and distributed gifts 08Ghev1    37:4 | year that Abdullah (al-Mansur) had perished, Emperor Constantine [V] also died 08Ghev1    38:1 | my countless troops?

He 09Draskh1    36:4 | as the great patriarch Georg had departed from this world, the 09Draskh1    36:7 | suffering any agony, after he had occupied the patriarchal see for 09Draskh1    36:10 | Although I had been a disciple of the 09Draskh1    36:11 | to the present (office), and had as my only guiding hope 09Draskh1    36:12 | construction of the church which had been founded by king Smbat 09Draskh1    37:1 | of Shirak. Since his mind had turned to its former aberration 09Draskh1    37:3 | deceive the king—for he had made the attempt more than 09Draskh1    37:3 | and made believe that he had come to visit the king 09Draskh1    37:6 | with the gifts that she had brought with her, and falling 09Draskh1    37:6 | return her son Smbat, who had been taken hostage by him 09Draskh1    37:9 | much so, that he admitted having seen no one like him 09Draskh1    37:10 | in word and deed, and having received many gifts and honors 09Draskh1    37:17 | of his brother Mushegh who had been taken captive in the 09Draskh1    37:20 | of the wickedness that he had received from his eunuch.

Thus, having persuaded the latter, they induced 09Draskh1    60:8 | district at her foot, which had been given to the tyrant 09Draskh1    60:10 | After the battle lines had been arrayed, the two sides 09Draskh1    60:10 | the forces of the Hagarites had raised an outcry almost at 09Draskh1    60:12 | After king Ashot had forced the city of Dvin 09Draskh1    60:13 | of Ashot son of Smbat, had come to (the aid of 09Draskh1    60:14 | destruction and devastation that they had caused to the land, they 09Draskh1    60:16 | the task with which he had been occupied at the moment 09Draskh1    60:17 | that the fortress of Kayean had been seized by prince Sahak 09Draskh1    60:17 | Siwnik’, who was imprisoned there, had been set free and sent 09Draskh1    60:18 | Then in great haste he had also seized the other fortress 09Draskh1    60:18 | which was near Kayean, and having put the guards to the 09Draskh1    60:18 | the guards to the sword, had forced the inhabitants of the 09Draskh1    60:18 | the time of harvest, he had ordered the harvest prematurely reaped 09Draskh1    60:18 | prematurely reaped with scythes, and had given it to the raging 09Draskh1    60:19 | distress and the confusion that had been brought upon his land 09Draskh1    60:19 | to meet them. The foe had pitched camp in the glens 09Draskh1    60:20 | There, having found a mound which was 09Draskh1    60:20 | to the top, where he had pitched his camp that whole 09Draskh1    60:21 | severe disaster, such as I have witnessed? Didn’t the solemn oath 09Draskh1    60:22 | and vicious snares that you have concealed to good use. Return 09Draskh1    60:22 | the two fortresses that you have seized, and restore the captives 09Draskh1    60:24 | Having said this, he marshalled all 09Draskh1    60:27 | the hundreds of men who had been exhausted because of the 09Draskh1    60:27 | of the long journey, and having descended from the mound with 09Draskh1    60:28 | said to himself: “If I have been in any kind of 09Draskh1    60:28 | of error, or if I have broken this oath, make amends 09Draskh1    60:28 | the iniquitous death which they have prepared 09Draskh1    60:30 | arena, and like a tempest having dispersed the enemy in the 09Draskh1    61:3 | the name of Subuki, who had been set up as prince 09Draskh1    61:5 | the ostikan Subuki, who still had not forgotten in his heart 09Draskh1    61:6 | the inhabitants of the district had been previously aware of the 09Draskh1    61:6 | incursion of the enemy, they had been unable to migrate totally 09Draskh1    61:7 | women and young children, who had been unable to make haste 09Draskh1    62:1 | and the treason that he had devised came to naught. (Thereupon 09Draskh1    62:3 | As Vasak’s brother Ashot had been killed by the armed 09Draskh1    62:4 | As soon as he had met prince Gurgen, the latter 09Draskh1    62:5 | hand it over until he had restored Vasak to them 09Draskh1    62:7 | even to Ashot, before he had restored Vasak to them. At 09Draskh1    62:9 | and as soon as they had arrived, the guards opened before 09Draskh1    62:11 | the men of the fortress had turned against each other. Thereupon 09Draskh1    62:14 | and as soon as he had entered, he had all the 09Draskh1    62:14 | as he had entered, he had all the forces of Gurgen 09Draskh1    63:1 | After the above events had taken place, the shahanshah arrived 09Draskh1    63:1 | harsh words those whom he had subordinated. If there were people 09Draskh1    63:7 | was Amram, but the people had nicknamed him C’lik (‘Little Bull’ 09Draskh1    63:7 | physique, and whom the shahanshah had placed in charge of the 09Draskh1    63:7 | of his wicked thoughts, and having revealed his true colors, renounced 09Draskh1    63:8 | After having deserted and disgraced his own 09Draskh1    63:10 | the majority of the people had abandoned and turned their backs 09Draskh1    63:12 | gave Ashot much assistance, and having gathered numerous forces with winged 09Draskh1    63:15 | and difficult passage that they had taken, because precipices covered with 09Draskh1    64:1 | At this time, king Gagik, having come to his sense by 09Draskh1    64:2 | neighbors and relatives, whom he had bound to himself in friendship 09Draskh1    64:2 | his relatives and people who had been honored by him, displayed 09Draskh1    64:3 | the hearts of some, who had been pleased by means of 09Draskh1    64:3 | with great forces, until he had brought them to submission 09Draskh1    64:4 | to please the tyrant. Danger had taught him how to save 09Draskh1    64:6 | for the distress that he had caused them 09Draskh1    64:9 | and Albania, whom he himself had seized and brought to the 09Draskh1    64:9 | was feared by those who had either heard or seen him 09Draskh1    64:10 | He also maintained that Yusuf had been set right by his 09Draskh1    64:13 | But as king Gagik had been informed of his coming 09Draskh1    64:14 | Thus, having placed the caravan of the 09Draskh1    64:16 | After having stopped within the confines of 09Draskh1    64:16 | marched down from there and having reached the province of Andzewac’ik’ 09Draskh1    64:18 | Having taken these, he marched in 09Draskh1    64:19 | the wicked plans which he had devised (in his mind) for 09Draskh1    64:19 | color of his complexion, and having covered the true color of 09Draskh1    64:23 | disposal his own possessions, and having gathered from all of his 09Draskh1    64:24 | Having accepted these presents with much 09Draskh1    64:24 | remained (in Rotakk’), until he had set up ostikans, deputies and 09Draskh1    64:26 | the toilsome and unrewarding route. Having taken great amounts of money 09Draskh1    65:1 | flatteringly nicknamed Subuki, and who had been sent to Armenia by 09Draskh1    65:3 | rob both of them who had been deceived. Subsequently, Nasr also 09Draskh1    65:5 | Nasr conceived a plot, and having allied himself with both of 09Draskh1    65:7 | realized that ready-made success had come to him, he set 09Draskh1    65:7 | at the place where he had spent the night 09Draskh1    65:9 | As soon as he had entered the city, he put 09Draskh1    65:9 | both Sahak and Babgen, who had been seized together, and putting 09Draskh1    65:10 | Having heard of the severity of 09Draskh1    65:14 | we noticed that the sun had been eclipsed at the morning 09Draskh1    65:19 | and the livestock which we had abandoned much against our will 09Draskh1    65:20 | my own dzerakert which I had acquired through ganjagin. Here I 09Draskh1    65:20 | acquired through ganjagin. Here I had built a church constructed with 09Draskh1    65:20 | and adorned with paintings. I had founded this place as a 09Draskh1    65:21 | As soon as we had reached Biwrakan, I immediately sent 09Draskh1    65:21 | the horrible afflictions that he had inflicted on certain others, namely 09Draskh1    65:22 | I stated that I had fled fearing such agonies, and 09Draskh1    66:4 | in fetters before you and having ransacked all the possessions of 09Draskh1    66:6 | unexpectedly entered the cave, and having seized the monks that were 09Draskh1    66:6 | them the possessions that they had hidden. They tortured them to 09Draskh1    66:7 | numerous swarms of bees, and having burnt the beautiful structures that 09Draskh1    66:8 | and told him what they had accomplished, the result was that 09Draskh1    66:9 | However, as I had learned of their shadowy and 09Draskh1    66:9 | dark plots sometime earlier, and had pondered on the matter as 09Draskh1    66:11 | and His foreknowledge of that had brought them close to the 09Draskh1    66:12 | firing of their secret darts had not remained unknown to me 09Draskh1    66:12 | me, and their clandestine snares had been uncovered, and when they 09Draskh1    66:12 | they found out that I had escaped, they stopped to pitch 09Draskh1    66:12 | to pitch a camp, and having gathered numerous forces, made preparations 09Draskh1    66:13 | cellars in accordance with what had been written, and shut their 09Draskh1    66:15 | Among those who had entered the fortress were certain 09Draskh1    66:15 | world. As soon as they had heard whispers concerning the wicked 09Draskh1    66:16 | of Christ and His faithful.” Having thus defied death, they wished 09Draskh1    66:17 | with the armed cavalry that had come to join them, they 09Draskh1    66:18 | that day the two sides had scarcely met one another, when 09Draskh1    66:20 | the truth of which he had penetrated. He entreated the clerics 09Draskh1    66:22 | encircles this world, and which has become thick around us. Let 09Draskh1    66:24 | Subsequently, having offered the awesome sacrifice to 09Draskh1    66:26 | people of the fortress who had crowded on top of the 09Draskh1    66:31 | peril of this ailment, which has afflicted us, hasten to inflict 09Draskh1    66:33 | dismal intent of exacting vengeance, had made frequent assaults for a 09Draskh1    66:34 | of life-bearing Hope, and having renounced mercy as well as 09Draskh1    66:39 | church all at once, and having divested them of their scanty 09Draskh1    66:42 | for prior to that he had been wounded by the arrows 09Draskh1    66:46 | Thee in our hearts. Thou hast made us worthy of attaining 09Draskh1    66:52 | land of Sagastan, and who had led a life of rigid 09Draskh1    66:53 | except for a few who had departed from there prior to 09Draskh1    66:56 | and wives of those that had been killed, and having mounted 09Draskh1    66:56 | that had been killed, and having mounted the venerable heads of 09Draskh1    66:58 | woes in their hearts, they had no other consolation than the 09Draskh1    66:59 | captives the Ishmaelite forces also had at their disposal two men 09Draskh1    66:59 | layman, and both of them had the same name, Kiwrakos 09Draskh1    66:60 | prayers of the blessed who had been killed were remembered before 09Draskh1    66:60 | before God, and His Providence had them mercifully redeemed in the 09Draskh1    66:62 | the two namesakes, whom they had brought along with the captives 09Draskh1    66:64 | Having realized that the porters’ minds 09Draskh1    66:65 | with the captives they also had brought with them the soldiers 09Draskh1    66:65 | with them the soldiers who had betrayed the fortress into the 09Draskh1    67:2 | the city of Dvin, and having turned over to him the 09Draskh1    67:3 | But Bishr, whom he had left behind him, gathered a 09Draskh1    67:3 | that the so called shahanshah had not submitted to them 09Draskh1    67:4 | But as the latter had taken refuge in the impregnable 09Draskh1    67:4 | the very few people that had remained, ravaging (their possessions), and 09Draskh1    67:4 | land was in ruins and had been stripped of its population 09Draskh1    67:6 | men with him, whereas Bishr had about one thousand soldiers. Yet 09Draskh1    67:9 | innocent people to death, and having beheaded them, he brought their 09Draskh1    67:9 | his escape as if he had attained victory by personal valor 09Draskh1    67:10 | great as the former, and having supplied them with horses and 09Draskh1    67:14 | he noticed the multitude that had reached the gate of the 09Draskh1    67:14 | out against the enemy. Thus, having joined battle with the cavalry 09Draskh1    67:15 | the assistance of Georg, and having slain great numbers of the 09Draskh1    67:16 | numerous threats. At first I had gone to Ashot, the scion 09Draskh1    67:18 | its villages and estates (gerdastan) had been entirely seized by Nasr 09Draskh1    67:18 | seized by Nasr, and we had been left without a residence 09Draskh1    67:18 | total number of the warriors had greatly diminished and declined 09Draskh1    67:23 | when he noticed that Smbat had taken extreme measures of precaution 09Draskh1    67:23 | conditions of peace. After he had received many gifts from prince 09Draskh1    67:24 | As soon as he had received the discharge of the 09Draskh1    67:24 | his brother Sahak until he had received the promised payment in 09Draskh1    67:25 | remembered the threats that he had made, and struck with terror 09Draskh1    67:26 | Subsequently, having mindlessly been seized by such 09Draskh1    67:27 | ostikan learned that the fortress had been evacuated by its inhabitants 09Draskh1    67:28 | the course that the Creator had designed for us we had 09Draskh1    67:28 | had designed for us we had directed our glance to the 09Draskh1    67:28 | to be sure, we would have been saved by means of 09Draskh1    67:28 | Lord, and would no longer have fallen into the hands of 09Draskh1    67:28 | But rather, we also would have slain our adversaries, who would 09Draskh1    67:28 | weakness, and many people would have called us “blessed on the 09Draskh1    67:29 | Lord says, “If my people had listened to me, or if 09Draskh1    67:29 | to me, or if Israel had walked in my ways, I 09Draskh1    67:29 | in my ways, I would have put down their enemies very 09Draskh1    67:29 | enemies very quickly, and would have laid my hand upon those 09Draskh1    67:30 | But as we have become dull like cattle and 09Draskh1    68:1 | like a reflecting mirror, I have invited you (to come) to 09Draskh1    68:1 | the huge foaming waves that have risen, swollen and fallen upon 09Draskh1    68:3 | come here and hastened to have this history prepared 09Draskh1    68:6 | generations will see from what has been said here in particular 09Draskh1    68:7 | place of torments where we have now become universally lethargic in 10Tovma1    1:0 | in eloquent words. Great labour have I expended in the search 10Tovma1    1:0 | many historical accounts; and I have written down whatever I was 10Tovma1    1:1 | of the sons of Noah, has been set down in order 10Tovma1    1:5 | the earth. But because Babylon had fallen to Sem’s lot, Nebrot’ 10Tovma1    1:8 | For, as has been written, Asur, descendant of 10Tovma1    1:13 | Although Joseph had no share in the birth 10Tovma1    1:14 | husband Ninos over Assyria legitimately, having rebelled against Ninos on the 10Tovma1    1:14 | on the grounds that he had come as a foreigner to 10Tovma1    1:15 | palpitated with lasciviousness. But as has been explained, Shamiram of the 10Tovma1    1:16 | the mountain Sim, which mountain had been so named after their 10Tovma1    1:17 | But because Nebrot had destroyed Nineveh when he overthrew 10Tovma1    1:18 | removing those nations’ legitimacy. I have set down this brief account 10Tovma1    1:19 | the order of my narrative has brought us to this question 10Tovma1    1:21 | writings are unreliable, yet they have alluded to many things rightly 10Tovma1    1:21 | to boast of Ptolemy for having at some time collected all 10Tovma1    1:21 | books of every nation and having them translated into Greek. But 10Tovma1    1:21 | to information from what others had said previously, and not a 10Tovma1    1:21 | also do not appear to have preceded him. For the Greek 10Tovma1    1:23 | of the abundant source, which having irrigated paradise sinks into the 10Tovma1    1:24 | as but a day. It had no need of a foreign 10Tovma1    1:25 | small matter,” and not merely have dominion over the planted (garden 10Tovma1    1:29 | single honourable aspect does he have— if one were to speak 10Tovma1    1:30 | occasion of this transgression he had the most wisdom of all 10Tovma1    1:31 | the earth from which he had been taken. So what shall 10Tovma1    1:34 | not divide it aright, you have sinned 10Tovma1    1:42 | multiplication of humanity. For Adam had many other sons and daughters 10Tovma1    1:43 | he begat Enos. The latter had hope to call on the 10Tovma1    1:43 | honour of God’s care, and had hope even more ardently to 10Tovma1    1:44 | the first father Adam died, having lived for [930] years.

The servant had the evil intention of killing 10Tovma3    14:38 | you, greetings to you. I have gone off to the territory 10Tovma3    14:39 | by fear, note: “My father, have mercy on me,” and was 10Tovma3    14:40 | the sad news that (Gurgēn) had died; he was a mad 10Tovma3    14:40 | folly, (who did) what he had not been ordered to do 10Tovma3    14:41 | the bonds in which he had fettered him, as compensation for 10Tovma3    14:42 | blessed Zak’aria heard that Gurgēn had been seized, he made haste 10Tovma3    14:45 | since the oversight of Armenia had been entrusted to Ashot, who 10Tovma3    14:47 | of Derenik and how he had been seized, he marched rapidly 10Tovma3    14:48 | any useless plans he might have. “ Otherwise, he said, I shall 10Tovma3    14:50 | And because Derenik’s wife had just died, Gurgēn wrote to 10Tovma3    15:2 | from the prison where they had been thrown.

He mounted a 10Tovma3    20:20 | the same way as he had come 10Tovma3    20:26 | For the prince of Tarōn had great reverence for the office 10Tovma3    20:27 | land. “Often,” he said, “I have verified this from his trusted 10Tovma3    20:28 | impregnable, and no little treasure had been accumulated in it over 10Tovma3    20:29 | act openly, for it would have been unbecoming to form an 10Tovma3    20:31 | in the supposition that he had succumbed to a severe illness 10Tovma3    20:32 | outer door where the prince had withdrawn; they seized him and 10Tovma3    20:33 | and informed him of what had occurred 10Tovma3    20:37 | curopalates (to do) what Hasan had fruitlessly done.

For I have not the strength to sing 10Tovma3    20:48 | of so many calamities that have befallen 10Tovma3    20:49 | Therefore, I have withdrawn from running a race 10Tovma3    20:51 | to prevent him. For they had heard through the circular letter 10Tovma3    20:51 | that Ashot prince of princes had laid an ambush for him 10Tovma3    20:53 | help of the Persian army had been waiting for many days 10Tovma3    20:56 | hastened to report: “Behold, he has left his army in order 10Tovma3    20:56 | to meet him, for God has delivered him into your hands 10Tovma3    20:59 | The emir had given a signal, like that 10Tovma3    20:61 | aid.

Having seized the region of Tarōn 10Tovma3    23:1 | mentioned above concerning Ahmat’, he had seized the land of Tarōn 10Tovma3    23:8 | king learned that the armies had joined combat, he hoped still 10Tovma3    24:1 | Gagik, son of Derenik, unfettered, having extricated him from bonds and 10Tovma3    24:3 | When the king had gone away a distance of 10Tovma3    24:6 | When news of what had been done reached the king 10Tovma3    24:7 | in his own lands, he had gifts and honours taken to 10Tovma3    25:3 | from the Amatuni family, who had been an accomplice of Gagik’s 10Tovma3    25:5 | among the Greek captives; he had abandoned the Christian faith and 10Tovma3    25:6 | the episcopal see of Mardpetakan had then been transferred from the 10Tovma3    25:9 | whom Awshin at that time had impiously married.

Immediately the prince 10Tovma4    1:15 | whose accomplice this rebel Gagik had been, were continually plotting to 10Tovma4    1:20 | At that time he had been preceded by the impious 10Tovma4    1:23 | For the prince had gone out hunting unaccompanied by 10Tovma4    1:25 | the mighty prince in person, having been previously advised by his 10Tovma4    1:25 | previously advised by his accomplices, had taken with him some strong 10Tovma4    1:28 | Ashot, Gagik, and Gurgēn, who had not yet reached maturity, therefore 10Tovma4    1:32 | For the helper has left, the defender has become 10Tovma4    1:32 | helper has left, the defender has become silent, the great leader 10Tovma4    1:32 | leader with his princely splendour has today been taken away from 10Tovma4    1:32 | be contorted, among us who have deserved to see and endure 10Tovma4    1:34 | his bodyguard, whom the prince had raised and on whom he 10Tovma4    1:35 | that fell to the ground had dried in the heat of 10Tovma4    1:37 | children with their accustomed milk, having time only for voicing their 10Tovma4    1:40 | The princess, who had trusted in the invincible power 10Tovma4    1:40 | for what reason did you have the arrogance to do this 10Tovma4    1:40 | no enemies anywhere; no war has engulfed (us) from anywhere. Who 10Tovma4    1:42 | When the event had been confirmed and the news 10Tovma4    1:43 | in groups Jewish singers, and had them chant the laments of 10Tovma4    1:46 | were informed by those who had witnessed the events and who 10Tovma4    1:48 | Where,” they said, “ have we lost the honourable pearl 10Tovma4    1:51 | an army, (when) we might have lost our lives 10Tovma4    2:8 | submissive to Apumruan, for he had become his son-in-law 10Tovma4    2:10 | the castle called Nkan, and had them imprisoned and guarded with 10Tovma4    2:11 | castle of Shamiram.

God did 10Tovma4    3:37 | Thecla, as the historian Biwzand has accurately expounded to us. Here 10Tovma4    3:39 | son of Vasak the apostate, had rendered the emir Ap’shin 10Tovma4    3:40 | which Gagik, son of Vahan, had seized and then given over 10Tovma4    3:44 | his brothers hastily preceded him, having been informed by messengers. They 10Tovma4    3:45 | Gagik, the prince’s brother, had intervened and made many efforts 10Tovma4    3:49 | city of Nakhchavan which he had put under his own control 10Tovma4    4:4 | who by a deceitful ruse had seized the castle of Agarak 10Tovma4    4:5 | of Vasak, known as Apuhamza, had rebelled in similar fashion and 10Tovma4    4:8 | despatched an army against them. Having captured him, they brought him 10Tovma4    4:9 | deer, likewise the mighty warrior had pity on them: first because 10Tovma4    4:9 | enemies, and second because he had taken the daughter of Apuhamza 10Tovma4    4:9 | So he spared them, and having destroyed the structure of the 10Tovma4    4:11 | After the land had been pacified, with compassionate and 10Tovma4    4:11 | in raiding and recovering what had been captured by the race 10Tovma4    4:20 | Having plundered the land, he returned 10Tovma4    4:21 | long time past the Muslims had seized the province on the 10Tovma4    4:21 | situated.
