For some were orthodox in faith by the record and 07Seb1    46:13 | council of Nicaea took place in the time of Constantine; that 07Seb1    46:13 | of Constantine; that of Constantinople in the time of Theodosius the 07Seb1    46:13 | the Great; that of Ephesus in the time of Theodosius the 07Seb1    46:13 | Less; and that of Chalcedon in the time of Martine.’ 07Seb1    46:18 | Godhead, if it is not in every place and cannot be 07Seb1    46:19 | aside from God, then he in anger would not have turned 07Seb1    46:19 | aside from us. But now in fear of God we shall 07Seb1    46:20 | is that which they declared in Nicaea in the time of 07Seb1    46:20 | which they declared in Nicaea in the time of the blessed 07Seb1    46:20 | time of the blessed Constantine. In agreement with that were (the 07Seb1    46:20 | councils) of Constantinople and Ephesus. In conformity with these is the 07Seb1    46:20 | declared at Chalcedon is not in agreement with them, as Your 07Seb1    46:21 | a search to be made in the treasury. They found the 07Seb1    46:21 | of the faith of Armenia. In this regard king Khosrov ordered 07Seb1    46:22 | to the faith of Armenia in the regions of Asorestan were 07Seb1    46:22 | his own ring and deposited in the royal treasury 07Seb1    46:23 | and land. Although you are in the body from the human 07Seb1    46:25 | and blessed his beneficence. Now in the following fashion we have 07Seb1    46:25 | faith. The evangelist John says: ’In the beginning was the Word 07Seb1    46:26 | And the same again in his catholic (epistle) says: ’Who 07Seb1    46:27 | The same John says in his gospel: ’No one has 07Seb1    46:28 | ’Who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in awesome and unapproachable light’. Whereas 07Seb1    46:28 | invisible did not appear, but in the visible we saw the 07Seb1    46:28 | we saw the invisible; since in the visible (was) the divine 07Seb1    46:29 | united to the human nature in an immutable union. One form 07Seb1    46:30 | wounds we were all healed’. In this fashion too the blessed 07Seb1    46:30 | blessed John declares the union in his catholic (epistle), saying: ’It 07Seb1    46:31 | ’He is my beloved Son in whom I am pleased. Heed 07Seb1    46:34 | Furthermore: ’God sent his Son in the likeness of a body 07Seb1    46:34 | sin; and he condemned sin in the body.’ 07Seb1    46:37 | And they in turn transmitted the same to 07Seb1    46:37 | furthermore confirmed that same tradition in writing. Many of the apostles 07Seb1    46:37 | like Justin, Enanklitos, and Clement in Rome; Ananias in Alexandria; Simon 07Seb1    46:37 | and Clement in Rome; Ananias in Alexandria; Simon Cleophas in Jerusalem 07Seb1    46:37 | Ananias in Alexandria; Simon Cleophas in Jerusalem; Dionysius the Areopagite in 07Seb1    46:37 | in Jerusalem; Dionysius the Areopagite in Athens; and the other Dionysius 07Seb1    46:37 | Athens; and the other Dionysius in Corinth; and the other Timothy 07Seb1    46:37 | Corinth; and the other Timothy in Ephesus; and Titus in Crete 07Seb1    46:37 | Timothy in Ephesus; and Titus in Crete; and Polycarp in Smyrna 07Seb1    46:37 | Titus in Crete; and Polycarp in Smyrna of Asia; and Euodia 07Seb1    46:37 | and Euodia, that is Peter, in Antioch; and Irenaeus of Gaul 07Seb1    46:37 | of Gaul, disciple of Polycarp, in the church of Lyons 07Seb1    46:38 | of the church, who sealed in writing the true faith of 07Seb1    46:38 | true faith of the church in their respective churches with the 07Seb1    46:39 | through whom everything was created in heaven and on earth; who 07Seb1    46:39 | taught to us: ’Who believed in the body, to them he 07Seb1    46:40 | For he was incarnate in one nature, and he joined 07Seb1    46:44 | the feet of St. Gregory in order to be blessed by 07Seb1    46:45 | accepted as intermediary the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. And 07Seb1    46:45 | the holy spirit had founded in us 07Seb1    46:46 | of the church who excelled in philosophical skill and comprehended the 07Seb1    46:47 | Catholicos Gregory, raised and educated in Caesarea of Cappadocia, taught us 07Seb1    46:47 | Cappadocia, taught us this doctrine, in which we have remained immovable 07Seb1    46:47 | have remained immovable until now. In addition to him we have 07Seb1    46:47 | numberless other pastors of orthodoxy in harmony with these, whose lives 07Seb1    46:48 | of books and literature. But in so far as there have 07Seb1    46:48 | far as there have remained in various places instructive histories, they 07Seb1    46:48 | the truths of the faith in the same way - the light 07Seb1    46:48 | St Gregory, promptly assented. And in the following way the declaration 07Seb1    46:50 | ’We believe in one God, almighty Father, creator 07Seb1    46:50 | things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, Son 07Seb1    46:50 | visible and invisible was made in heaven and earth 07Seb1    46:52 | with the same body and in the glory of the Father 07Seb1    46:52 | no end.

Like-wise David glories in the Cross of his son 07Seb1    46:62 | and the Lord among them in holy Sinai. He ascended to 07Seb1    46:63 | ’And the Lord among them in holy Sinai’. Amongst whom then 07Seb1    46:63 | then is ’among them’? Clearly, in the heights to which the 07Seb1    46:64 | as virgins may freely participate in the Lord’s body according to 07Seb1    46:65 | years, and then to participate in the sacrament.

Rather 08Ghev1    10:1 | a description of his deeds. In the first year of his 08Ghev1    10:2 | While this wickedness was incubating in their hearts, the aforementioned Smbat 08Ghev1    10:3 | to the village called Drashpet in the district of Vanand, and 08Ghev1    10:3 | preparation and went against them in battle 08Ghev1    10:4 | war and fled, taking refuge in fortresses 08Ghev1    10:7 | Kasim, who was his commander in the Naxchawan area, to summon 08Ghev1    10:7 | the pretext of recording them in a royal military census, giving 08Ghev1    10:9 | to those who remainded trapped in the sanctuary 08Ghev1    10:10 | one and all took refuge in God, looking solely to Him 08Ghev1    10:10 | persecuted, the helper of those in danger, comforter of the weary 08Ghev1    10:11 | from the furnace of Babylon, in Your mercy do not abandon 08Ghev1    10:11 | Your sweet love for humanity. In mercy, remember Your servants. For 08Ghev1    10:12 | and awesome name, we place in Your hands our souls, our 08Ghev1    10:13 | the noble lords into prison in fetters and subjected them to 08Ghev1    10:13 | unendurable torture, demanding much weight in gold and silver. And they 08Ghev1    10:13 | convince the lords to believe in their false promises 08Ghev1    10:14 | treasures which they had placed in hiding under water to keep 08Ghev1    10:16 | In this period, with the land 08Ghev1    10:16 | the land of the Armenians in perpetual and disastrous crises. Plagued 08Ghev1    10:17 | requesting a city to dwell in from the Byzantine emperor and 08Ghev1    10:17 | the city named Poti (P’oyt’) in the territory of the land 08Ghev1    10:18 | evils, the protest which arose in the land reached the ears 08Ghev1    10:20 | Once he had been confirmed in his authority, he wrote an 08Ghev1    10:20 | giving them a written oath in accordance with their custom. When 08Ghev1    10:20 | the city they were dwelling in and its treasures, ravished the 08Ghev1    10:21 | ordered them to write anathemas in a book. And he ordered 08Ghev1    10:25 | on top of the wall. In my own language I loudly 08Ghev1    10:25 | to our troops, which resulted in the weakening and flight of 08Ghev1    11:2 | tremble with fear of us?

Because 08Ghev1    11:6 | that there are no cemetaries in Damascus for your bodies 08Ghev1    11:7 | go back to your place in peace 08Ghev1    11:8 | and I will leave you in peace, otherwise I will come 08Ghev1    11:8 | I will come against you in battle.” So the king of 08Ghev1    11:8 | saying: “Stay where you are in your army until I implement 08Ghev1    11:9 | some carts and to conceal in them his heavily armed choice 08Ghev1    11:9 | his heavily armed choice cavalry, in place of the requested girls 08Ghev1    11:9 | place of the requested girls. In this way he would catch 08Ghev1    11:9 | way he would catch them in his trap 08Ghev1    11:10 | encamped opposite them. Seated (hidden) in the carts were more than 08Ghev1    11:12 | the two sides had clashed in battle, those soldiers who were 08Ghev1    11:12 | The Chinese trapped the Arabs in their midst and put their 08Ghev1    11:13 | jumped into the river, trusting in the bravery of their horses 08Ghev1    11:14 | Thus in deep shame did they return 08Ghev1    12:1 | In the second year of his 08Ghev1    12:1 | the Huns (Khazars) who were in the city of Darband (Derbend 08Ghev1    12:2 | they uncovered a large stone in the foundation which bore this 08Ghev1    12:2 | with funds from his treasury. In later times the sons of 08Ghev1    12:8 | to kindle an enormous fire in the camp. Then, leaving behind 08Ghev1    12:9 | Huns, with his head bowed in disgrace. After all these events 08Ghev1    13:3 | our faith, which was composed in the form of various questions 08Ghev1    13:4 | Umar, in the name of Allah, Caliph 08Ghev1    13:5 | able to realize my intentions in this regard 08Ghev1    13:6 | the Prophets and the Psalms, in order to find there testimonies 08Ghev1    13:7 | the Prophets have said, whereas in truth, Jesus Himself is the 08Ghev1    13:7 | than mere men, whose writings, in any case, have been falsified 08Ghev1    13:7 | same Scriptures, and follow them in what suits your intentions 08Ghev1    13:9 | Why is it, that in the Mosaic Code one finds 08Ghev1    13:10 | not true that Jesus, speaking in the Gospel about the coming 08Ghev1    13:12 | that God could have dwelt in flesh and blood, and in 08Ghev1    13:12 | in flesh and blood, and in the unclean entrails of a 08Ghev1    13:13 | of Jesus, when he speaks in his vision, of two riders 08Ghev1    13:13 | why do you not believe in that 08Ghev1    13:15 | to the Emperor Leo, who, in his turn, felt himself obliged 08Ghev1    14:2 | truth. But as your letter, in its opening did not reveal 08Ghev1    14:3 | You have said in your letter that “we have 08Ghev1    14:3 | that you have not succeeded in being able to study its 08Ghev1    14:4 | Neither of these in fact is accurate because nothing 08Ghev1    14:6 | for us to involve you ( in the subject of your religion 08Ghev1    14:7 | if it please you, and in hearkening to me, you will 08Ghev1    14:8 | thinks only of obstinately persisting in it. Let me explain it 08Ghev1    14:9 | that our Lord has said in the Gospel that “naked you 08Ghev1    14:9 | whereas we do not find in the gospels any such statement 08Ghev1    14:10 | catch hold of some word in the Scriptures which appears favorable 08Ghev1    14:10 | your opinions, and employ it in your defense 08Ghev1    14:11 | Haughty as you are in your despotism, nevertheless listen to 08Ghev1    14:11 | say that we have found in the Psalms of David and 08Ghev1    14:11 | the Psalms of David and in the books of the Prophets 08Ghev1    14:12 | these words and had faith in them, without paying due attention 08Ghev1    14:13 | words, to have had faith in the infallible and positive statements 08Ghev1    14:13 | of the Gospel, rather than in any other. The truth is 08Ghev1    14:14 | declarations, parables and clear predictions in the mouths of the Prophets 08Ghev1    14:14 | His people should be instructed in advance and prepared to receive 08Ghev1    14:15 | In the same way, the Lord 08Ghev1    14:15 | the same way, the Lord, in the Gospels, has borne testimony 08Ghev1    14:15 | and having become incarnate, cited in the most express fashion all 08Ghev1    14:16 | of God, point by point, in my present letter, attributing the 08Ghev1    14:20 | and the New Testaments is in fact the reason that no 08Ghev1    14:20 | that no contradiction is found in them 08Ghev1    14:26 | one hundred and eleven persons in all in the Old and 08Ghev1    14:26 | and eleven persons in all in the Old and New Testaments 08Ghev1    14:26 | the Word of God manifest in the flesh 08Ghev1    14:27 | Now I ask you in brief, tell me please: Is 08Ghev1    14:27 | the truth by lies. Muhammad, in speaking of the abovementioned holy 08Ghev1    14:29 | their hateful spirit resemble him”. In reply, I am much astonished 08Ghev1    14:29 | but also at the manner in which, unashamedly, you expose ideas 08Ghev1    14:29 | which, unashamedly, you expose ideas in writing which render you ridiculous 08Ghev1    14:30 | But if you believe in our opinions you must believe 08Ghev1    14:30 | our opinions you must believe in them all, because no one 08Ghev1    14:31 | Hebrews who composed the Scripts in the sanctuary, we do not 08Ghev1    14:38 | of which being our belief in Jesus as the Christ, the 08Ghev1    14:38 | recognize the Son of God in the person of Christ 08Ghev1    14:40 | before the coming of Christ in the flesh, so how could 08Ghev1    14:40 | ceremonies, one after the other, in accordance with the Gospels 08Ghev1    14:42 | major part of His testimonies in preaching to the hardened Jews 08Ghev1    14:42 | be dispersed as we see in our own days; God established 08Ghev1    14:42 | God established the entire nation in the land which He had 08Ghev1    14:43 | cast into the fiery furnace in Babylon. Moreover, the eminent Daniel 08Ghev1    14:43 | Moreover, the eminent Daniel prophesied in Babylon, for it was there 08Ghev1    14:44 | Spirit says through the Prophet in the Psalms relative to this 08Ghev1    14:44 | place, yet he announces it in an unmistakable manner in [Psalm 136], saying 08Ghev1    14:44 | it in an unmistakable manner in [Psalm 136], saying: “By the waters of 08Ghev1    14:45 | the latter was found completely in conformity with the former 08Ghev1    14:46 | You further said that “ in their quality as men, the 08Ghev1    14:46 | every man is always feeble in every respect, is imperfect and 08Ghev1    14:49 | In saying that “there cannot be 08Ghev1    14:49 | hell, to judgment and resurrection in the Law of Moses”, you 08Ghev1    14:49 | understand the knowledge of God in the measure whereby God would 08Ghev1    14:50 | single prophet, as you assume in supposing that God would institute 08Ghev1    14:50 | and all the other Prophets, in each epoch, He did not 08Ghev1    14:53 | but nevertheless, God does mention in the Law the resurrection, judgment 08Ghev1    14:55 | regards hell (He says): “For in my anger a fire is 08Ghev1    14:58 | the Comforter, to comfort them in the distress and sorrow they 08Ghev1    14:59 | means “to give thanks”, or in our own tongue, “to render 08Ghev1    14:60 | This blasphemy, in fact, is unpardonable, as the 08Ghev1    14:60 | unpardonable, as the Lord says in the Gospels: “Blasphemy against the 08Ghev1    14:61 | whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach 08Ghev1    14:61 | Whom the Father will send in my name”, whereas your Muhammad 08Ghev1    14:61 | your Muhammad did not come in the name of our Lord 08Ghev1    14:61 | name of our Lord, but in his own name. Jesus promised 08Ghev1    14:61 | His disciples, not to men in general, and you know well 08Ghev1    14:65 | is based on our error. In fact, the blame is applicable 08Ghev1    14:65 | fact, the blame is applicable in your very case, whereby your 08Ghev1    14:66 | less, since your religion appeared in the midst of a single 08Ghev1    14:73 | In any case it is nothing 08Ghev1    14:73 | are the same, conserved intact in each language. The Gospel is 08Ghev1    14:74 | Without mentioning the various languages in which the wonderous and salvific 08Ghev1    14:75 | these people have introduced changes in the books in their respective 08Ghev1    14:75 | introduced changes in the books in their respective languages. How can 08Ghev1    14:75 | are to be found also in the books of other people 08Ghev1    14:75 | and differing from us both in their language and their habits 08Ghev1    14:75 | of committing such falsifications, especially in the case of a certain 08Ghev1    14:75 | his taste, and spread everywhere in your nation. This was easier 08Ghev1    14:76 | audacious enterprise. Secondly, because even in spite of God’s prohibition, if 08Ghev1    14:76 | all the books spread out in so many different languages, find 08Ghev1    14:77 | not nations should introduce changes in the Book according to their 08Ghev1    14:77 | the little truth there is in what you say 08Ghev1    14:78 | men according to their ideas. In order to support your inconsistent 08Ghev1    14:79 | you are carrying on research in the interests of truth, you 08Ghev1    14:79 | exactly as they are found in the books, without modifying them 08Ghev1    14:79 | the books, without modifying them in the way you do 08Ghev1    14:81 | Jacob” [Exodus 3:15]; “Let us make man in our own image, after our 08Ghev1    14:83 | would not be deceiving himself. In effect, though the sun is 08Ghev1    14:85 | make use of this example in order to convince you, because 08Ghev1    14:85 | to what God orders us in the Holy Scriptures; as it 08Ghev1    14:85 | or delete what is not in accordance with your views 08Ghev1    14:89 | man, as you yourself confess ( in mentioning) that the angels were 08Ghev1    14:89 | Adam was a man, (and in rendering him such homage) you 08Ghev1    14:90 | evident that Adam was created in the image of God, but 08Ghev1    14:90 | of infirmities which God created in His image? Never. On the 08Ghev1    14:90 | and word which God created in the image of His Spirit 08Ghev1    14:90 | His Word. Man, being created in this manner and receiving free 08Ghev1    14:91 | the honor which was vested in him by the Creator, and 08Ghev1    14:91 | ashamed to speak of here. ( In this aberration) they worshiped not 08Ghev1    14:92 | Thus did the Tempter succeed in turning humanity worshippers of himself 08Ghev1    14:92 | rejoice at seeing himself adored in the form of the idols 08Ghev1    14:92 | of the idols of paganism in whose worship he encouraged them 08Ghev1    14:93 | into which man had fallen in doing that which was pleasing 08Ghev1    14:93 | by a light which shines in the midst of the darkness 08Ghev1    14:94 | to instruct men, promising them in advance, through the Prophets, the 08Ghev1    14:95 | to descend lower than He in humiliation, we attribute to Him 08Ghev1    14:96 | the appearance of the Word in a human form: “The Lord 08Ghev1    14:98 | will welcome such with pleasure. In this manner, I hope that 08Ghev1    14:98 | hope that I shall succeed in elevating you, God willing, as 08Ghev1    14:99 | rescue him, for he delights in him’.” [Psalm 22:6-7]. This prophecy was not 08Ghev1    14:100 | who speaks of Him (Christ) in eminent terms: “The Lord said 08Ghev1    14:102 | unity of the divine nature in heaven: “The earth is full 08Ghev1    14:105 | In this passage the Prophet indicates 08Ghev1    14:107 | yet another, by a stranger, in spite of his will, and 08Ghev1    14:107 | will, and mentioned by Moses in his book: “How fair are 08Ghev1    14:108 | yet you see well how, in precise fashion, it indicates the 08Ghev1    14:109 | that all peoples must believe in Him, as you see for 08Ghev1    14:113 | and not to Him who, in His human nature is son 08Ghev1    14:113 | is son of David, but in His divine nature is Son 08Ghev1    14:113 | Word of God; and who in the end must reign, not 08Ghev1    14:114 | is indicated still more clearly in the following Psalm: “In his 08Ghev1    14:114 | clearly in the following Psalm: “ In his days may righteousness flourish 08Ghev1    14:116 | from thee shall be written in the earth, for they have 08Ghev1    14:117 | was God from God, because in the Hebrew language the word 08Ghev1    14:120 | God has spoken to David in these words: “I will establish 08Ghev1    14:122 | eternal and inaccessible kingdom higher in the heavens. You must pay 08Ghev1    14:123 | citations regarding His ineffable humiliation in the sufferings which He voluntarily 08Ghev1    14:123 | which He voluntarily went through in accordance with the previous indication 08Ghev1    14:125 | all the others, was fulfilled in the person of the Savior 08Ghev1    14:130 | and with a rich man in his death), although he had 08Ghev1    14:130 | and there was no deceit in his mouth 08Ghev1    14:134 | and corrupted, where are yours in which you place credence? Show 08Ghev1    14:135 | But you, who takes pleasure in looking into the Gospel we 08Ghev1    14:135 | into the Gospel we possess, in an attempt to produce some 08Ghev1    14:137 | you will have my response in its proper place 08Ghev1    14:138 | but as man He prayed in order to teach us how 08Ghev1    14:139 | But in praying He said nothing of 08Ghev1    14:140 | by conserving intact the traits in ( Jesus) which are the most 08Ghev1    14:140 | thought of introducing some changes in the Gospels, would not these 08Ghev1    14:140 | but the Father who dwells in me does his work.” [John 5:19; 14:10]. If 08Ghev1    14:140 | his work.” [John 5:19; 14:10]. If you believe in the words “I can do 08Ghev1    14:140 | own”, you must also believe in the words that “the Father 08Ghev1    14:140 | that “the Father who dwells in me does his works 08Ghev1    14:141 | Similarly, if you believe in the fear which came over 08Ghev1    14:141 | had said before His incarnation: “ In the sweat of your face 08Ghev1    14:141 | eat bread” [Genesis 3:19]. If you believe in the assistance given Him by 08Ghev1    14:141 | them realize that He was in many respects above the state 08Ghev1    14:141 | this, you must also believe in what He has said in 08Ghev1    14:141 | in what He has said in the same book: “I lay 08Ghev1    14:142 | the Father.” [John 16:28]. As for you, in the passages just quoted, whenever 08Ghev1    14:143 | though you put no faith in it. That passage is this 08Ghev1    14:143 | is this: “He who believes in me, believes not in me 08Ghev1    14:143 | believes in me, believes not in me but in him who 08Ghev1    14:143 | believes not in me but in him who sent me.” [John 12:44]. The 08Ghev1    14:143 | is that it is not in His human and visible nature 08Ghev1    14:143 | nature (that one believes), but in His divine nature, inasmuch as 08Ghev1    14:144 | and my Father are one.” [John 10:30]. In His prayer, as you yourself 08Ghev1    14:144 | Christ whom Thou hast sent.” [John 17:3]. In this passage Jesus Christ has 08Ghev1    14:147 | Lord as a mere man. In His human nature (the Lord 08Ghev1    14:149 | accept all the humiliating traits ( in the life) of our Lord 08Ghev1    14:150 | Listen now to the Gospels in regard to this matter. Indeed 08Ghev1    14:150 | does John the Evangelist refer in saying: “He who believes in 08Ghev1    14:150 | in saying: “He who believes in the Son has eternal life 08Ghev1    14:151 | his Gospel with these words: “ In the beginning was the Word 08Ghev1    14:151 | Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all 08Ghev1    14:152 | having come into the world in flesh, has note: “He who 08Ghev1    14:153 | who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power 08Ghev1    14:153 | human nature, which He has in common with us. (Jesus) was 08Ghev1    14:153 | with us. (Jesus) was sent in His quality as man, and 08Ghev1    14:153 | His quality as man, and in His being as God, He 08Ghev1    14:153 | passages of the Gospels are in accord on these points 08Ghev1    14:154 | was the Lord Himself who, in accordance with the prediction of 08Ghev1    14:154 | the type as laid down in the Old Testament and established 08Ghev1    14:155 | He make with their fathers in the land of Egypt, if 08Ghev1    14:155 | had given to be kept in the midst of their people 08Ghev1    14:156 | that we take and drink in remembrance of Him, announcing thereby 08Ghev1    14:158 | desired to treat His covenant in this secret member and not 08Ghev1    14:158 | this secret member and not in others more visible and glorious 08Ghev1    14:160 | heart, through the Spirit, as in the above cited promises of 08Ghev1    14:161 | ridiculing it to the end. In the ancient law God ordered 08Ghev1    14:162 | beforehand, through the Prophet Ezekiel, in these words: “I will sprinkle 08Ghev1    14:163 | Lord commanded this same baptism in His Gospel, saying: “Go therefore 08Ghev1    14:163 | of ail nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father 08Ghev1    14:163 | and “the people who sat in darkness have seen a great 08Ghev1    14:165 | only-begotten Son of God in His human body 08Ghev1    14:167 | I am doing a work in your days that you would 08Ghev1    14:168 | the objection raised by you in these terms: “How is it 08Ghev1    14:168 | possible for God to dwell in the womb of a woman 08Ghev1    14:168 | the womb of a woman, in the midst of blood and 08Ghev1    14:169 | appears occupy a superior place in your mind, and seem purer 08Ghev1    14:170 | cannot be an impure thing in His sight 08Ghev1    14:171 | insults to the good Creator, in whose eyes nothing of all 08Ghev1    14:171 | was not created by Him in man, but was not even 08Ghev1    14:171 | but was not even ordained.

In this way he made the 09Draskh1    66:2 | Christians, who are degenerates, and in particular with the lawgiver of 09Draskh1    66:4 | numerous legions to go immediately in quest of the leader of 09Draskh1    66:4 | Christian aberration, and bring him in fetters before you and having 09Draskh1    66:5 | celibate priests which is located in a cave to the northeast 09Draskh1    66:6 | to great beating and torments in demanding from them the possessions 09Draskh1    66:7 | the beautiful structures that were in that monastery, they departed 09Draskh1    66:9 | occasion, I fled the evil in order to fulfill the command 09Draskh1    66:11 | But Sahak, our blessed bishop- in- residence, together with two particular 09Draskh1    66:12 | gathered numerous forces, made preparations in order to be ready, and 09Draskh1    66:13 | turn to, they took shelter in their cellars in accordance with 09Draskh1    66:13 | took shelter in their cellars in accordance with what had been 09Draskh1    66:14 | tribulation, and put their hope in the succor of God Almighty 09Draskh1    66:15 | were certain soldiers who were in the service of the princes 09Draskh1    66:15 | the fortress from various places in order to lend assistance to 09Draskh1    66:16 | soldier would address a comrade in the following manner: “Until now 09Draskh1    66:18 | another, when the night set in and the day came to 09Draskh1    66:20 | to lift up their hearts in meditation without any grievances, and 09Draskh1    66:20 | the confirmation of their faith in Christ, “lest your hearts be 09Draskh1    66:21 | endeavor to implant your feet in this temporary life, as if 09Draskh1    66:21 | himself will come to you in his flesh and blood, which 09Draskh1    66:22 | with which you clad yourselves in Christ (covering yourselves) from the 09Draskh1    66:23 | them to raise their voices in praise of the God of 09Draskh1    66:24 | and all of all ages, in accordance with the sacramental tradition 09Draskh1    66:26 | turned their eyes to God in the hope that he might 09Draskh1    66:29 | He also exhorted the people in every way, “Not to be 09Draskh1    66:29 | passion and imitate His faith in God 09Draskh1    66:30 | men, offered them much advice in the following manner, “Although people 09Draskh1    66:31 | but let yourselves become stout in spirit and join the battle 09Draskh1    66:32 | no longer did they indulge in the physical comforts of life 09Draskh1    66:32 | the physical comforts of life in any way whatsoever. On the 09Draskh1    66:34 | one of the numerous soldiers in the fortress gave up the 09Draskh1    66:35 | pleased at this, and rejoicing in their hearts, the latter immediately 09Draskh1    66:36 | revealed their hidden plots, and in a barbaric manner enforced their 09Draskh1    66:36 | wicked plans on the people. In a mad frenzy of wickedness 09Draskh1    66:37 | In the meantime, the blessed bishop 09Draskh1    66:37 | church offered prayers to God in daily vigils with extended arms 09Draskh1    66:37 | saints was resplendent and exalted in every respect 09Draskh1    66:38 | arrived, and found them engaged in prayer in the holy church 09Draskh1    66:38 | found them engaged in prayer in the holy church, they tried 09Draskh1    66:41 | all of them, seemingly clad in full armor, shielded themselves with 09Draskh1    66:41 | became worthy of clothing themselves in the ornamentation of the light 09Draskh1    66:43 | behead him, yet, he was in no way afflicted with grief 09Draskh1    66:43 | did he break into tears in distress, but rather willingly and 09Draskh1    66:45 | the rest of the people in the fortress to the place 09Draskh1    66:45 | They beheaded all of them in order to take the heads 09Draskh1    66:46 | patience to suffer (the hardships) in this trial. For we did 09Draskh1    66:46 | Thine covenant, or betray Thee in our hearts. Thou hast made 09Draskh1    66:47 | Now, accept our congregation in peace, and save the children 09Draskh1    66:48 | above happenings, they all gathered in one place, and called on 09Draskh1    66:48 | called on to the enemy in their own tongue: “like you 09Draskh1    66:49 | come and mingle with them in order to be saved from 09Draskh1    66:49 | make even one person waver in his love of Christ 09Draskh1    66:50 | Christ as a perfect sacrifice in sweet savor, namely, the blessed 09Draskh1    66:52 | In like manner they also beheaded 09Draskh1    66:52 | of rigid austerity among us; in a miraculous manner he lived 09Draskh1    66:52 | a miraculous manner he lived in flesh like an incorporeal being 09Draskh1    66:52 | T’eodoros, about whom we spoke in advance, and who was reckoned 09Draskh1    66:53 | hundred. Their names are inscribed in the Register of Life. Almost 09Draskh1    66:53 | the harvest of the sword in order to tend to their 09Draskh1    66:55 | of these events took place in the [372nd] year of the Armenian 09Draskh1    66:56 | The wicked Ishmaelite forces gathered in one place all the spoils 09Draskh1    66:57 | In this way they took everything 09Draskh1    66:58 | In view of the many woes 09Draskh1    66:58 | view of the many woes in their hearts, they had no 09Draskh1    66:58 | husbands’, and children’s blood, shed in vain, was offerd to Christ 09Draskh1    66:59 | impious conquerors, captors, and spoke in this manner: “Let not the 09Draskh1    66:60 | Providence had them mercifully redeemed in the presence of their captors 09Draskh1    66:61 | people, still young, about ten in number, were kept by the 09Draskh1    66:63 | with a gleam of joy in their eyes, and determination in 09Draskh1    66:63 | in their eyes, and determination in their hearts to go to 09Draskh1    66:63 | We are ready to die in the name of Christ, and 09Draskh1    66:64 | purified, and tested like silver in the flaming furnace of death 09Draskh1    66:66 | they expected to receive rewards in recompensation for their services, but 09Draskh1    66:66 | put to the sword. Thus, in accordance with what they deserved 09Draskh1    66:66 | what they deserved they died in agony, and all hope for 09Draskh1    67:1 | slaughter them by the sword in battle 09Draskh1    67:2 | that they might be retained in confinement and in fetters until 09Draskh1    67:2 | be retained in confinement and in fetters until his return from 09Draskh1    67:2 | there, he himself set out in compliance with the orders of 09Draskh1    67:4 | the latter had taken refuge in the impregnable fortress on the 09Draskh1    67:4 | for the entire land was in ruins and had been stripped 09Draskh1    67:5 | one of the venerable men ( in the service) of the so 09Draskh1    67:6 | soldiers. Yet, placing his trust in God, he applied himself to 09Draskh1    67:8 | fury the latter clad themselves in the mist of nocturnal darkness 09Draskh1    67:10 | be able to entrap him in the snares of death, or 09Draskh1    67:11 | bent bows, and well-versed in archery, so much so that 09Draskh1    67:12 | them, and they set sail in order to meet the enemy 09Draskh1    67:12 | Putting to use their skill in archery, they maimed the eyesight 09Draskh1    67:14 | aforementioned Georg, about whose bravery in war we spoke earlier, by 09Draskh1    67:14 | by chance happened to be in the fortress. When he noticed 09Draskh1    67:15 | the many others (as shown) in the statement “David is more 09Draskh1    67:16 | entered the city of Dvin in such disgrace, and tried to 09Draskh1    67:17 | the king of Armenia Gagik in response to his frequent invitations 09Draskh1    67:20 | our place of residence, and in particular would be mindful of 09Draskh1    67:21 | Nasr set out from Atrpatakan in Persia, and came to the 09Draskh1    67:22 | prince of Siwnik’ was staying in Vayoc’ Dzor, which was his 09Draskh1    67:22 | a multitude of armed men in order to enslave and ransack 09Draskh1    67:24 | discharge of the unfair debt in dahekans from his younger brother 09Draskh1    67:24 | to prince Smbat, but retained in prison his brother Sahak until 09Draskh1    67:24 | had received the promised payment in dahekans. Then, he would release 09Draskh1    67:25 | struck with terror, they thought in their uncertainty that should the 09Draskh1    67:27 | the villages, awans, and agaraks in its vicinity 09Draskh1    67:28 | with shadowy siege, for if in accordance with the course that 09Draskh1    67:28 | and if we conducted ourselves in the image of the Creator 09Draskh1    67:29 | or if Israel had walked in my ways, I would have 09Draskh1    67:30 | the swine that are nourished in the woods, and by those 09Draskh1    68:4 | not to waver at all in this matter 09Draskh1    68:6 | what has been said here in particular the veracity of each 09Draskh1    68:7 | have now become universally lethargic in the smoke of sinners 09Draskh1    68:9 | of the underworld (sandaramet), dying in vain like the men of 09Draskh1    68:9 | restrained life you are gathered in the royal fisheries by means 09Draskh1    68:11 | a multitude of brigands waits in ambush on both sides (of 09Draskh1    68:12 | sun of righteousness may rise in your hearts with divine love 09Draskh1    68:13 | nor become the trampled mire in the ways like the salt 09Draskh1    68:13 | unspoiled by the slanderous violator in order to reach with joy 09Draskh1    68:14 | Do not consider pride in ancestral virtues sufficient for you 09Draskh1    68:14 | for you lest by confiding in it you might become negligent 09Draskh1    68:14 | the sons as they perish in a shipwreck? For this reason 09Draskh1    68:15 | that luminous and redeeming garment in which you were properly clad 09Draskh1    68:16 | Do not speak lies, considering in vain what was taken as 09Draskh1    68:20 | but with wings that travel in clouds you shall soar up 09Draskh1    68:20 | be thrown into the shade in a crevice of the rock 09Draskh1    68:22 | my name worthy of remembrance in your holy and pious prayers 10Tovma1    1:0 | and the disappearance of archives in Armenia. But the pressing command 10Tovma1    1:0 | search and to set down in proper style and to register 10Tovma1    1:0 | proper style and to register in this book your desire in 10Tovma1    1:0 | in this book your desire in eloquent words. Great labour have 10Tovma1    1:0 | Great labour have I expended in the search for what is 10Tovma1    1:1 | ten nations is accurately written in all accounts, the next task 10Tovma1    1:1 | us is to set down in order the divisions of the 10Tovma1    1:1 | Noah, has been set down in order in all books, there 10Tovma1    1:1 | been set down in order in all books, there is no 10Tovma1    1:6 | as far as King Senek’erim in the time of Hezekiah, leader 10Tovma1    1:7 | Rather we should) expound it in toto and write down the 10Tovma1    1:10 | by his mother, like Moses in Egypt much later. Thus no 10Tovma1    1:10 | after her grandfather Sem—which in the Armenian language is pronounced 10Tovma1    1:11 | wife, for Shamiram was ensconced in their native city Nineveh. So 10Tovma1    1:11 | female line to be included in the genealogy of kings and 10Tovma1    1:11 | requirement of chronology—like Got’ołia in Israel, and Cleopatra daughter of 10Tovma1    1:11 | Cleopatra daughter of Ptolemy Dionysius in Egypt 10Tovma1    1:12 | Jesus Christ. Explaining his genealogy in the flesh, the evangelist Matthew 10Tovma1    1:13 | Although Joseph had no share in the birth of Christ, he 10Tovma1    1:13 | of Christ, he is included in the genealogy instead of his 10Tovma1    1:13 | not the custom to mention in the genealogy the list of 10Tovma1    1:15 | of Asur from Sem reigned in her own right over Assyria 10Tovma1    1:15 | middle, as I shall describe in detail below 10Tovma1    1:16 | their grandfather Sem—just as in Persian they call Zaruand after 10Tovma1    1:17 | of Sem and built Babylon in its place, when Ninos became 10Tovma1    1:17 | ruled separately. You will find in the canon table (of Eusebius 10Tovma1    1:17 | dynasty of Egypt, and also in the fourth book of Julian 10Tovma1    1:17 | of Julian of Halicarnassos, as in the fourth book of Moses 10Tovma1    1:19 | number of patriarchs as ten in accordance with Divine Scripture, yet 10Tovma1    1:22 | here make a little pause in our narrative so that we 10Tovma1    1:23 | God planted paradise,” says (Scripture), “ in Eden to the east”—that 10Tovma1    1:23 | to the east”—that is, in a country in the East 10Tovma1    1:23 | that is, in a country in the East about which there 10Tovma1    1:23 | more to say than that in the East men inhabited it 10Tovma1    1:23 | paradise or of it somewhere in between. Its unlimited size is 10Tovma1    1:25 | to the saying: “being faithful in this small matter,” and not 10Tovma1    1:26 | of the rebellious serpent, who in his deceitful wickedness liberally poured 10Tovma1    1:26 | for himself and his offspring, in his enchantment to abstain from 10Tovma1    1:26 | glory —to seize for himself in his effrontery even the honour 10Tovma1    1:26 | the honour of the Creator; in which attempt his deceiver the 10Tovma1    1:27 | wife, the first to taste ( in her desire) to precede her 10Tovma1    1:27 | desire) to precede her husband in divine honour. Alas for this 10Tovma1    1:27 | him his approach, calling out in a friendly voice: “Where are 10Tovma1    1:29 | of all evils who nestled in the snake was not cursed 10Tovma1    1:29 | the guilt of the snake in finding a source of blame 10Tovma1    1:29 | To which we respond that in every way he is incurable 10Tovma1    1:29 | curses. Likewise, the vital aspect in him is not inclined to 10Tovma1    1:31 | matters (save) burst into sighs in our lament that the divinely 10Tovma1    1:31 | irremedial and pitiful exchange. Made in the image of God, he 10Tovma1    1:31 | he was brought low; sharer in immortal life, through the curse 10Tovma1    1:31 | he was made dust; established in lord-ship, he was laid 10Tovma1    1:31 | labour with death and childbearing in grief 10Tovma1    1:32 | the prophet’s saying: “Man was in honour and did not understand 10Tovma1    1:33 | of death and himself mirrored in his son killed by Cain 10Tovma1    1:36 | his (offering) was not regarded in the same fashion by God 10Tovma1    1:37 | his barbarous deceit, that he in despair led him aside from 10Tovma1    1:40 | because he masked his soul in the darkness of evil, even 10Tovma1    1:41 | Lord, he did not turn in terror with tears to efface 10Tovma1    1:42 | old he begat Seth, which in the original language is translated 10Tovma1    1:42 | up for me another son in place of Abel whom Cain 10Tovma1    1:44 | old he begat Malaliel. And in the latter’s [135th] year the first 10Tovma1    1:44 | cause of the original fall, in that by foolish supposition (Adam 10Tovma1    1:45 | has been preserved for us in successive descent. There are very 10Tovma1    1:46 | God’s grace: he was inscribed in the ranks of the immortals 10Tovma1    1:46 | the exterminating anger of God in destroying the race and sons 10Tovma1    1:48 | he reckoned the just Abel in the same list. But why 10Tovma1    1:48 | why (he is not counted) in the genealogy is because Abel 10Tovma1    1:49 | begat Mathusala, and he lived in the latter’s lifetime another [200] years 10Tovma1    1:49 | before being transferred to immortality in the thirty-third year of 10Tovma1    1:50 | begat Noah, and he lived in the latter’s lifetime another [565] years 10Tovma1    1:52 | that whereas he had shown in them his honourable love by 10Tovma1    1:53 | and everyone assiduously plotted evil in his heart 10Tovma1    1:54 | but wandering like wild herds in disorder and all kinds of 10Tovma1    1:54 | kinds of dissoluteness, taking refuge in ( their) strength of limb and 10Tovma1    1:54 | strength of limb and unbridled in boasting of the strength of 10Tovma1    1:55 | He reflected in his heart, he who knows 10Tovma1    1:56 | punishment for a hundred years in his mercy 10Tovma1    1:57 | chopping of groups (of workmen) in hewing the wood rang like 10Tovma1    1:57 | like the thundering of clouds in the ears of everyone near 10Tovma1    1:58 | being naturally good, he remained in his unchanging nature and delayed 10Tovma1    1:59 | ark was built at Laodicaea in Phrygia, which of the three 10Tovma1    1:59 | been said to have dwelled in Asia Minor 10Tovma1    1:60 | the garden, fasting and mourning in penitence, lamenting the fault of 10Tovma1    1:60 | abstaining from meat and wine in a life of spiritual prophecy 10Tovma1    1:60 | and because he was inexperienced in the matter, he became drunk 10Tovma1    1:61 | spirit. The just patriarchs remained in the same place, and there 10Tovma1    1:62 | of your sons. For behold in seven more days I shall 10Tovma1    1:62 | the earth to destroy everything in which there is living breath 10Tovma1    1:66 | as for those who joined in building the ark, if it 10Tovma1    1:66 | took refuge with him believed in his words and obeyed with 10Tovma1    1:68 | of all, and placed them in the ark—which I shall 10Tovma1    1:70 | to fuse heaven and earth in one uninterrupted sea. The spreading 10Tovma1    1:70 | whole year the earth remained in complete devastation. After the fulfilment 10Tovma1    1:71 | I shall place my arc in the clouds,” which is the 10Tovma1    1:72 | visible also at night. But in reality, it is rays of 10Tovma1    1:72 | Since it did not occur in the beginning, it is said 10Tovma1    1:72 | said to have come about in the time of Noah 10Tovma1    1:73 | as the great Epiphanius expounds in order. But we said we 10Tovma1    1:74 | In the Explanation of the Hebrew 10Tovma1    1:74 | stable,” which was somewhat distorted in the Hebrew language, seeming to 10Tovma1    1:75 | Now the tomb in which the first father’s bones 10Tovma1    1:75 | same is “summit” and “Golgotha” in Hebrew, with a double name 10Tovma1    1:75 | name. Therefore, the divine (command) in the time of Moses ordered 10Tovma1    1:77 | mankind from the first patriarchs in brief, because our especial concern 10Tovma1    1:77 | before them, son from father in succession down to King Senek’erim 10Tovma1    1:77 | down to King Senek’erim, who in the time of Hezekiah, king 10Tovma1    2:2 | Belos, father of Dios, called in Armenian Aramazd, who lived [215] myriad 10Tovma1    2:2 | him and guarded very carefully in Babylon—which book we know 10Tovma1    2:3 | was father of Aramazd, closer in time, who warned Ksisutra about 10Tovma1    2:3 | earlier deeds and placed it in a bronze vessel fastened with 10Tovma1    2:3 | fastened with lead for safekeeping in the city of the Siparats’ik’ 10Tovma1    2:3 | the Siparats’ik’. And others haver in many various ramblings about times 10Tovma1    2:3 | not think appropriate to put in writing in order to explain 10Tovma1    2:3 | appropriate to put in writing in order to explain the fables 10Tovma1    2:5 | He was arrogant and confident in the strength of his arm 10Tovma1    2:6 | be provided by the king, in accordance with his uncontrollable force 10Tovma1    2:6 | god Heracles deflowered fifty virgins in one night, calling valour things 10Tovma1    2:6 | claimed marvels for Bel: that in one night he ate twelve 10Tovma1    2:7 | unless you have anything else in mind good to say, why 10Tovma1    2:8 | inventions penetrated into the world in former times: rebellion against God 10Tovma1    2:8 | for the servants of God in days to come. So it 10Tovma1    2:9 | shall seek vengeance from Bel in Babylon, and I shall take 10Tovma1    2:10 | himself a god and reigned in Babylon with mighty power. He 10Tovma1    2:10 | nations under heaven. He commanded in a fearsome fashion every one 10Tovma1    2:11 | died before their fathers, and in their merciful compassion their fathers 10Tovma1    2:12 | one into setting up images in honour of giants and heroes 10Tovma1    2:12 | heroes and barbarian kings. And in his time they became addicted 10Tovma1    2:12 | to the example of Bel. In his raging pride he gave 10Tovma1    2:15 | father of the world Noah, in his saying: “God will increase 10Tovma1    2:15 | and cause him to dwell in the house of Sem.” For 10Tovma1    2:16 | to the province of Hark’, in the sight of many.

They loudly cried out in Greek: ’Why do you tread 10Tovma1    3:30 | birds.” It is most appropriate in this regard to call them 10Tovma1    3:32 | stories according to their merits in order to refute them, which 10Tovma1    3:32 | hand down to their believers in Zradasht and Manit’op 10Tovma1    3:33 | they say Hephaistos was lame in both feet, and has glowing 10Tovma1    3:33 | feet, and has glowing embers in his hand (and) tongs and 10Tovma1    3:35 | clean clear glass and placed in the heat of the sun 10Tovma1    3:36 | and their hearts were darkened in ( their) folly.

I shall summarize in a few words the history 10Tovma3    6:3 | is impossible to pass over in silence or to hide the 10Tovma3    6:4 | details of the events accomplished in their time and later, (and 10Tovma3    6:5 | others not related were still in prison, that suddenly the trumpets 10Tovma3    6:5 | king had taken his seat in the tribunal.

For you have done 10Tovma3    6:18 | me, yet here you stand in the tribunal before me with 10Tovma3    6:19 | vain and erring cult, which in your great folly you have 10Tovma3    6:20 | and take up your abode in hell 10Tovma3    6:21 | the great princes of Armenia: “ In the religion of your royal 10Tovma3    6:23 | accurate testimony of Christ’s divinity in each one’s time, as if 10Tovma3    6:24 | We have received and believe in the truth; we cannot exchange 10Tovma3    6:25 | In whatever fashion your desire commands 10Tovma3    6:26 | they put forward for faith in Christ 10Tovma3    6:27 | the time set them down in writing, as is the custom 10Tovma3    6:29 | because I spoke to you in flattering terms, perhaps you were 10Tovma3    6:29 | that, were deceived and confirmed in your folly 10Tovma3    6:31 | had not intended to turn in the slightest from the worship 10Tovma3    6:31 | the holy apostles was implanted in their hearts, yet because it 10Tovma3    6:31 | furnace,” as it is written in Job 10Tovma3    6:33 | they would preserve their confession in Christ.

He 10Tovma3    6:34 | Israel transgress, as is written in the Book of Kings of 10Tovma3    6:35 | their arrest and had apostatised. In him Satan had taken root 10Tovma3    6:35 | poisonous arrows to be loosed in the darkness at benighted souls 10Tovma3    6:38 | the tyrant. But he, both in his going and his returning 10Tovma3    6:39 | and not their faces.” And in accordance with his perverse depravity 10Tovma3    6:40 | a storm he was shipwrecked; in his self-willed obsession he 10Tovma3    6:41 | Lord Grigor Artsruni, taking courage in God, stood up in the 10Tovma3    6:41 | courage in God, stood up in the tribunal—the great arena 10Tovma3    6:41 | spiritual warfare—with fearless audacity. In brief but eloquent terms they 10Tovma3    6:41 | divinely inspired Scriptures concerning faith in Christ. They rebuked their erring 10Tovma3    6:41 | enjoy (life) for a while in sin 10Tovma3    6:42 | ordered them to be bound in iron bonds and placed in 10Tovma3    6:42 | in iron bonds and placed in prison 10Tovma3    6:44 | endure being plunged into darkness in the deep, gloomy pit in 10Tovma3    6:44 | in the deep, gloomy pit in bonds. It was very befitting 10Tovma3    6:44 | two or three are gathered in my name, there am I 10Tovma3    6:47 | on high, looking for victory in the great battle from the 10Tovma3    6:50 | In that combat not only the 10Tovma3    6:51 | remained imprisoned for three years in the underground dungeon 10Tovma3    6:52 | fill out this temporal time in secure and firm faith; full 10Tovma3    6:54 | But in the fourth year that evil 10Tovma3    6:54 | pure and refined gold attests in itself the image of the 10Tovma3    6:56 | Lord Grigor dwelt among beasts in human form, in the company 10Tovma3    6:56 | among beasts in human form, in the company of ferocious barbarians 10Tovma3    6:57 | Easter. And the champions rejoiced in the days of Pentecost; they 10Tovma3    6:59 | and with a good confession, in the month of Hori, on 10Tovma3    6:59 | month, a Friday, fell asleep in Christ Jesus our Lord—to 10Tovma3    6:61 | wrapped it and buried it in the tomb. All Asorestan celebrated 10Tovma3    6:61 | saint’s death with great rejoicing in Christ Jesus our Lord—to 10Tovma3    7:0 | the destruction of many; refutation in brief 10Tovma3    7:1 | harm if one secretly keeps in one’s heart the confession of 10Tovma3    7:2 | holy teachers whom God placed in the church. It did indeed 10Tovma3    7:3 | the thought that if anyone in danger of suffering turned to 10Tovma3    7:4 | that time a priest Novatian in Rome despatched (people) to refute 10Tovma3    7:6 | fault, although they went astray in the cause of piety 10Tovma3    7:7 | and keep our minds unsullied in the true faith. For if 10Tovma3    7:10 | cannot follow the true confession in Father and Son and Holy 10Tovma3    7:10 | with the heart we believe in righteousness, and with the mouth 10Tovma3    7:10 | with the lips and disdain in their hearts. For “this people 10Tovma3    7:11 | before my Father who is in heaven. And who will confess 10Tovma3    7:11 | before my Father who is in heaven 10Tovma3    7:13 | law: “The word is near in your mouth and in your 10Tovma3    7:13 | near in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the 10Tovma3    7:19 | What (did) Anania and Saphira in the matter of the estate 10Tovma3    7:24 | above: “The word is near in your mouth and in your 10Tovma3    7:24 | near in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the 10Tovma3    7:24 | we preach.” And David says: “ In what I believed, the same 10Tovma3    7:24 | the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God arose 10Tovma3    7:24 | with the heart we believe in righteousness and with the mouth 10Tovma3    7:26 | this refutation we fall behind in the composition that lies before 10Tovma3    8:0 | What Bugha did after this in the city of Dvin; and 10Tovma3    8:2 | When the creatures that live in the fathomless depths feel the 10Tovma3    8:3 | And it happens that collapsing in narrow and shallow places in 10Tovma3    8:3 | in narrow and shallow places in the water one may remain 10Tovma3    8:4 | wind fades, the sun declines in its course, and the winter 10Tovma3    8:5 | three summer and winter abodes in order to survive.

Thus he became haughty in the false presumption of his 10Tovma3    8:13 | However, not even in the slightest were they deflected 10Tovma3    8:13 | love him and who endure in the true faith are eternal 10Tovma3    8:15 | such (sayings) that are written in the holy gospel, they laughed 10Tovma3    8:15 | child or crazy old man in his dotage who cannot say 10Tovma3    8:16 | and will accomplish nothing”—then in his great presumption and fierce 10Tovma3    8:17 | They left the tribunal in great joy, very happy that 10Tovma3    8:17 | joining the bride. They stripped in the midst of the crowd 10Tovma3    8:19 | sword like someone cutting wood in the deep forest with a 10Tovma3    8:20 | to die for his name; in unison they raised the cry 10Tovma3    8:22 | others whose names are written in heaven 10Tovma3    8:26 | their death. They were seven in number, and the holy martyrs 10Tovma3    8:26 | the holy martyrs were killed in the [302] year 10Tovma3    9:0 | What occurred in the second year of Bugha’s 10Tovma3    9:1 | the flowering meadows, and everyone in his own way made haste 10Tovma3    9:2 | respite or pause, he foamed in his plots like the sea 10Tovma3    9:4 | forces they had previously had in each clan with their troops 10Tovma3    9:4 | and inhabitants of their lands in full readiness 10Tovma3    9:6 | had acted as his guide in the warfare and on his 10Tovma3    9:8 | think it superfluous to expound in writing the individual iniquities of 10Tovma3    9:9 | city. No one was killed ( in the crossing) except a single 10Tovma3    9:9 | Ashkhēt’, a distinguished man, renowned in the valiant army, who had 10Tovma3    9:10 | the river bank, someone hiding in ambush drew a longbow and 10Tovma3    9:10 | they caused Ashkhēt’ to drown in the river. To those who 10Tovma3    9:12 | the castle of Shamshvilde, dressed in sable and bearing a rod 10Tovma3    9:12 | sable and bearing a rod in his hand. Becoming deranged he 10Tovma3    9:13 | hastened to appear before Bugha in the chance of being able 10Tovma3    9:14 | court, and took the wife in marriage 10Tovma3    9:16 | which I shall briefly demonstrate in its own place 10Tovma3    10:1 | was able to resist him in any of the acts that 10Tovma3    10:1 | perform, he began to subject in order all the lands of 10Tovma3    10:2 | called Tsanak. These people dwell in mountain fastnesses and live in 10Tovma3    10:2 | in mountain fastnesses and live in peace undisturbed by outside enemies 10Tovma3    10:2 | royal taxes and tribute remain in their own hands. They merely 10Tovma3    10:2 | their own will.

Approaching them, they arranged 10Tovma3    10:9 | decisively. So they were placed in a great dilemma: they were 10Tovma3    10:13 | with united hearts take refuge in God’s help. If it happens 10Tovma3    10:18 | frequently waged war with them in previous battles, he had been 10Tovma3    10:18 | fortresses or the brave men in them. So in cajoling terms 10Tovma3    10:18 | brave men in them. So in cajoling terms he summoned him 10Tovma3    10:19 | latter sent back a response in this fashion: “It is customary 10Tovma3    10:20 | I shall not meet you in peaceful friendship, but I shall 10Tovma3    10:21 | passions, and scatter your bones in the desert, and become food 10Tovma3    10:22 | towards you on my part.

They formed in their groups companies of five 10Tovma3    10:30 | There are valiant men knowledgeable in this; those who are occupied 10Tovma3    10:30 | all the arms and treasures in the caliph’s treasury, which they 10Tovma3    10:33 | them; they turned the Muslims in flight back to their camp 10Tovma3    10:34 | anxiety, he was greatly disturbed in his mind and driven frantic 10Tovma3    10:34 | his mind and driven frantic in his search for a solution 10Tovma3    10:34 | solution. He shut himself up in his tent and took no 10Tovma3    10:35 | ten days no one came in to him or went out 10Tovma3    10:37 | the princes of the nations, in one place they grow powerful 10Tovma3    10:43 | of the general, was stationed in the open on a hill 10Tovma3    10:43 | hill, and stood there watching in fearful and tremendous amazement 10Tovma3    10:44 | And since he was versed in the divinely inspired Scriptures and 10Tovma3    10:45 | the army had been assembled in one place to the number 10Tovma3    10:46 | their ground, without anyone stepping in front of his comrade. While 10Tovma3    10:47 | They attacked in four divisions, like the Lord’s 10Tovma3    10:48 | a full year.

He died in the year [339] of the Armenian 10Tovma3    21:1 | year [339] of the Armenian era, in the fifteenth year of the 10Tovma3    21:2 | In his stead ruled Smbat, son 10Tovma3    21:2 | very intelligent man, very energetic in all matters; as concerns things 10Tovma3    22:1 | In the third year of his 10Tovma3    22:1 | together with tremblings and shakings in the abyss like agitated torrents 10Tovma3    22:1 | collapsed and was firmly locked in the region of Sandaramet; fierce 10Tovma3    22:3 | the death of King Ozias in the days of the prophet 10Tovma3    22:4 | Likewise, in the time of Zechariah the 10Tovma3    22:4 | more severe than the one in the years of Zak’aria Catholicos 10Tovma3    22:4 | some of them were buried in that spot by the same 10Tovma3    22:5 | than by the worldwide destruction in the time of Noah, with 10Tovma3    22:5 | of Sodom. Abandoning his residence in Dvin, he went to reside 10Tovma3    22:5 | Dvin, he went to reside in Nor K’ałak’ in the great 10Tovma3    22:5 | to reside in Nor K’ałak’ in the great church which the 10Tovma3    22:5 | Catholicos of Armenia, had built in the name of Saint Gregory 10Tovma3    22:6 | In the second year after this 10Tovma3    22:6 | own will and abandoned it. In the same year the ruling 10Tovma3    22:7 | and Gurgēn, as they grew in body increased in vigour and 10Tovma3    22:7 | they grew in body increased in vigour and stature; they were 10Tovma3    22:7 | endowed with no little intelligence in the concomitant growth of their 10Tovma3    22:7 | joyous enthusiasm they had faith in the Lord’s providential care for 10Tovma3    22:8 | dignity of prince to Ashot. In this unopposed harmony they divided 10Tovma3    22:9 | beginning of Korduk’, and wherever in this area he could control 10Tovma3    22:10 | And in such fashion they (divided the 10Tovma3    22:10 | power: the fortress of Nkan in the province of T’oṙnawan, the 10Tovma3    22:10 | T’oṙnawan, the castle of Kotor in the valley of Ěntsayik’, the 10Tovma3    22:10 | Ěntsayik’, the castle of Sevan in the gully of Lmbay 10Tovma3    22:11 | To the other nobility residing in fortified places he daily distributed 10Tovma3    22:11 | happily spent time with them in order to win them over 10Tovma3    22:13 | to lay hands on Armenia in order to spread farther his 10Tovma3    22:16 | quickly carried out his command in their ambitious desires. Marching on 10Tovma3    22:17 | Akēats’i family—valiant men, versed in military affairs. They waged battle 10Tovma3    22:18 | While peace was thus shattered in the land, news reached Awshin 10Tovma3    22:20 | overflowing with all virtues, acquiesced in the proposal 10Tovma3    22:24 | like raging waves, he persisted in his ambitions. They, having no 10Tovma3    22:24 | together and have them imprisoned in iron bonds in the castles 10Tovma3    22:24 | them imprisoned in iron bonds in the castles of the country 10Tovma3    22:25 | endure what Apumruan had succeeded in doing. They came to Atom 10Tovma3    22:25 | son of the great Gurgēn, in the castle of Kanguar in 10Tovma3    22:25 | in the castle of Kanguar in order to find a solution 10Tovma3    22:25 | their homes and ancestral domains in their sincere devotion to the 10Tovma3    22:26 | reckoned it better to live in foreign exile than to see 10Tovma3    22:26 | the land, imprisoned and held in bonds. From their youth they 10Tovma3    22:26 | had loyally paid due service in accordance with the fitting custom 10Tovma3    22:28 | The nobles of Vaspurakan in opposition went off to the 10Tovma3    23:0 | defeat of Smbat by Ahmat’ in the district of Ałdznik’ on 10Tovma3    23:4 | and prefects, and those who in friendly submission paid him tribute 10Tovma3    23:7 | straightaway, in the twinkling of an eye 10Tovma3    23:7 | armed and prepared, formed ranks in martial opposition and incited a 10Tovma3    23:10 | Abandoning the battle, he turned in flight by way of Hołts’ 10Tovma3    23:11 | In that battle fell Ashot Haykazn 10Tovma3    24:5 | the body and placed it in a tomb in the place 10Tovma3    24:5 | placed it in a tomb in the place called Dzoroy-vank’ 10Tovma3    24:7 | When the king arrived in his own lands, he had 10Tovma3    24:7 | and honours taken to Ashot in accordance with princely custom, raising 10Tovma3    24:8 | with the position of governor in accordance with the highest rank 10Tovma3    25:1 | hated peace, and was insatiable in his thirst for human blood 10Tovma3    25:1 | with all lands, never resting. In his deceitful friendship for the 10Tovma3    25:1 | hasten individually to his presence in order to render vassal service 10Tovma3    25:2 | Gurgēn went to meet him in the city of Partaw, and 10Tovma3    25:2 | and to treat its (inhabitants) in Persian fashion 10Tovma3    25:3 | been an accomplice of Gagik’s in the murder of Apumruan that 10Tovma3    25:4 | the dead. But Awshin, thwarted in his plans, redoubled (his efforts 10Tovma3    25:4 | to accomplish his wicked desires in this fashion. With haughty mien 10Tovma3    25:6 | In this fashion they acted without 10Tovma3    25:6 | officials. A strong force remained in the town of Hamboyrazan in 10Tovma3    25:6 | in the town of Hamboyrazan in the province of Mardastan, to 10Tovma3    25:6 | a small band of nobles in winter time.

In the pale light (of dawn 10Tovma3    25:8 | captives they sent to Awshin in Partaw; they were imprisoned, condemned 10Tovma3    25:8 | and slaughtered by being cut in half. In this fashion they 10Tovma3    25:8 | by being cut in half. In this fashion they inflicted a 10Tovma3    25:8 | the prisoners by cutting them in half, terrifying all who saw 10Tovma3    26:4 | and sons fathers,” as happened in the time of Vespasian. But 10Tovma3    26:4 | was able to oppose him in war. However, he who struck 10Tovma3    26:5 | For while the land was in such distress, they expected God’s 10Tovma3    26:5 | accustomed to remember his compassion in his anger. A man named 10Tovma3    26:5 | a ferocious man, savage, unsparing in the drinking of human blood 10Tovma3    26:5 | blood, but of mighty prowess in deeds of war, who cast 10Tovma3    26:6 | But God, who in his providence alters the hearts 10Tovma3    26:7 | exercising the role of lord in Vaspurakan. Without delay and observing 10Tovma3    26:7 | speed, he went to Awshin in the city of Marakay 10Tovma3    26:8 | In just vengeance did the sword 10Tovma3    26:8 | God dealt them incurable blows in the fashion of Herod’s disease 10Tovma3    26:8 | infected with incurable ulcers, and in the presence of Awshin he 10Tovma3    26:9 | In similar fashion all the soldiers 10Tovma3    26:11 | took breath, and everyone lived in peace according to his rank 10Tovma3    26:11 | thanking the mercies of God. In amazement they considered him (wondering 10Tovma3    26:12 | This happened in [347] of the Armenian era, in 10Tovma3    26:12 | in [347] of the Armenian era, in which year Lord Gēorg, Catholicos 10Tovma3    26:13 | who came from the island in the lake of Gełark’uni. He 10Tovma3    26:14 | But in scholarly learning he was deeply 10Tovma3    26:14 | love for possessions but lively in his generosity 10Tovma3    26:16 | In his stead the blessed lord 10Tovma3    27:0 | the miracle which was revealed in Ostan of Ṙshtunik’ in the 10Tovma3    27:0 | revealed in Ostan of Ṙshtunik’ in the years of Gagik’s generalship 10Tovma3    27:2 | of Christ had been fashioned in wood by a certain skilled 10Tovma3    27:2 | unalloyed silver seven times refined in the furnace—like the altar 10Tovma3    27:3 | the scourge of avarice. Penetrating in the darkness of night, he 10Tovma3    27:4 | the shore of the lake in a cave in the rock 10Tovma3    27:4 | the lake in a cave in the rock. But when he 10Tovma3    27:4 | to roll down the mountain in a long fall as far 10Tovma3    27:5 | known, (people) rushed to search in the city and on the 10Tovma3    27:5 | city and on the roadways in whichever direction anyone might have 10Tovma3    27:7 | again. He rejoined the fragments in each one’s position, and covered 10Tovma3    27:8 | sentence of death, to pay in the world to come the 10Tovma3    28:4 | on the plain of Awshakan in the province of Manazav 10Tovma3    28:7 | encamped without concern (thinking themselves) in safety, when the former drew 10Tovma3    28:8 | very bravely stood their ground. In full armour and on armed 10Tovma3    28:8 | they attacked as one man. In a resolute charge they fell 10Tovma3    28:8 | ranks, defeated their warriors, and in the twinkling of an eye 10Tovma3    28:10 | But those immured in the city sent prayers and 10Tovma3    28:10 | people of Berkri. They returned in great triumph and unlimited joy 10Tovma3    28:11 | This took place in the year [351] of the Armenian 10Tovma3    28:11 | year [351] of the Armenian era, in the fourth year of the 10Tovma3    28:14 | In one letter, recalling what Ashot 10Tovma3    29:0 | of Ashot, prince of Vaspurakan, in the city of Nakhchavan 10Tovma3    29:2 | Infinite sadness springs up in the place of rejoicing; torrents 10Tovma3    29:2 | rejoicing; torrents of tears pour in streams from my eyes in 10Tovma3    29:2 | in streams from my eyes in the place of peals of 10Tovma3    29:5 | as he left his house in the city of Van he 10Tovma3    29:8 | when he departed this world in the month of Areg, the 10Tovma3    29:8 | his body and buried it in Ałbag in the village of 10Tovma3    29:8 | and buried it in Ałbag in the village of Awsi, in 10Tovma3    29:8 | in the village of Awsi, in the monastery of the Holy 10Tovma3    29:11 | by running after spiritual delights in place of physical pleasure 10Tovma3    29:13 | the splendour of the stars in their mutations through the firmament 10Tovma3    29:14 | things he plunged into oblivion in his flight to the heavenly 10Tovma3    29:14 | and the king of heaven.

Having 10Tovma3    29:20 | Senek’erim and David, came together in mutual harmony inspired by affable 10Tovma3    29:20 | folly, and embraced each other in their desire for the good 10Tovma3    29:21 | of the country to live in security, undisturbed by marauders within 10Tovma3    29:24 | These were famous provinces, which in earlier times the father of 10Tovma3    29:26 | a long time before, [211] years in fact, in the year when 10Tovma3    29:26 | time before, [211] years in fact, in the year when the church 10Tovma3    29:27 | the martyrdom of Saint Vahan, in the year [186] of the (Armenian 10Tovma3    29:28 | for orphans and widows, vigilance in charity for the poor and 10Tovma3    29:28 | walls the hill at Ostan in Ṙshtunik’ that had lain in 10Tovma3    29:28 | in Ṙshtunik’ that had lain in ruins for many years; he 10Tovma3    29:28 | it with very valuable vessels.

So the land was in great anguish, filled with terror 10Tovma3    29:64 | whom we mentioned above elsewhere in the great battle on the 10Tovma3    29:64 | confines of Ałdznik’, fortified himself in the castle of Shamiram 10Tovma3    29:65 | He was lying in wait like a lion cub 10Tovma3    29:65 | wait like a lion cub in its den.

In his valour and love for 10Tovma4    7:1 | as a father and guardian. In his benevolent mercy he took 10Tovma4    7:4 | hands of workers and artisans in order to fortify with walls 10Tovma4    7:4 | of hills and impregnable fortresses in the provinces and centre of 10Tovma4    7:5 | Of the many castles fortified in his name, (Gagik) was especially 10Tovma4    7:5 | lake; its name was Ostan in the province of Rshtunik’.

Then the emperor himself, in great triumph, went and entered 12Last1    3:8 | to the emperor Basil, receiving in exchange the city of Sebastia 12Last1    3:8 | these events did not transpire in the distant past, but only 12Last1    3:9 | at that time was united in counsel with the rebels, and 12Last1    3:11 | raised aloft on a pole in view of the entire army 12Last1    3:11 | emperor with their feet, nonetheless, in word and thought they were 12Last1    3:13 | seized P’ers and his son- in- law, Andronicos (Andronike), who was 12Last1    3:14 | gifts received from the emperor in return for (Dawit’s) loyal obedience 12Last1    4:0 | your patrimonial inheritance, and dwell in peace in your sector, and 12Last1    4:0 | inheritance, and dwell in peace in your sector, and do not 12Last1    4:2 | day’s journey when messengers came in haste to the lodging-place 12Last1    4:3 | his place.

When 12Last1    4:14 | When many (people) saw this, in dread they went and submerged 12Last1    4:14 | they went and submerged themselves in dark (underground) chambers 12Last1    4:16 | a certain marvelous sign appeared in the heavens.

He confirmed ( in office) those princes who were 12Last1    5:0 | office) those princes who were in charge of districts, who had 12Last1    5:1 | of Georgi and to rule in the East. When the Cappadocian 12Last1    5:1 | his advisors, and placed them in prison in a fortress, and 12Last1    5:1 | and placed them in prison in a fortress, and then informed 12Last1    5:1 | year until he was more in control 12Last1    5:3 | the emperor’s court. Seeing this, in joy, (the emperor) honored them 12Last1    5:3 | princely station, bestowing upon each in accordance with his worth villages 12Last1    5:4 | the kingdom and was styled in Greek parakoimonemos (parhekimanos), came to 12Last1    6:0 | among kings and always victorious in battle, who had trampled underfoot 12Last1    6:0 | underfoot many lands, had not, in his manly feats of bravery 12Last1    6:1 | gave Zoe, the senior (daughter) in marriage to Romanus (Romanos) [III], (Argyrus 12Last1    6:1 | army, and (Constantine) enthroned him in his stead. Then dying, he 12Last1    6:2 | Romanus, in the first year of his 12Last1    6:2 | while they, with iron hoes in hand, fatiguingly labored to ready 12Last1    6:4 | monks as bowmen for service in my realm.” For (Romanus) greatly 12Last1    6:8 | is better to take refuge in the Lord and the saints’ 12Last1    6:8 | prayers than to put confidence in princes and plentiful treasures” [Psalms 117.9]. For 12Last1    6:8 | princes and plentiful treasures” [Psalms 117.9]. For in no way can they be 12Last1    7:0 | as lord of the city in place of her husband 12Last1    7:1 | the Byzantine district and resided in the city called Samusat (which 12Last1    7:1 | Salamay) princedom and eternal inheritance in the Byzantines’ land (confirmed) by 12Last1    7:4 | citizens went and secured themselves in the cathedral, others (took refuge 12Last1    7:4 | the cathedral, others (took refuge) in secure places or towers. The 12Last1    7:4 | the Lord, and removing everything in great haste, they returned to 12Last1    8:0 | Now as for this emperor, in no wise is he worthy 12Last1    8:0 | until noontime giving royal gifts in accordance with (his) authority.

Now (the apparition 12Last1    9:1 | as indeed we shall see ( in the case) of the present 12Last1    9:2 | he placed the supreme authority in their hands 12Last1    9:3 | named Orht’anorhos, (Michael) set up in the royal city of Constantinople 12Last1    9:4 | certain woman witch, giving himself in service to the father of 12Last1    9:4 | of all evil, just as in ancient times, in the time 12Last1    9:4 | just as in ancient times, in the time of Basil they 12Last1    9:5 | deed had been done, (Michael) in accordance with royal custom was 12Last1    9:5 | fact that) the emperor was in Thessalonica frequently, probably with the 12Last1    9:5 | frequently, probably with the witch. In any case, until his death 12Last1    9:6 | of the Byzantine troops occurred in the fortified city named Berkri 12Last1    9:7 | named Xtrik, being shut up in the fortress, informed the chiefs 12Last1    9:7 | spreading the word around, assembled in one place, came against the 12Last1    9:8 | not arrive to help them ( in Berkri). Then the Persian troops 12Last1    9:9 | was full. Then (Xtrik) got in and bathed in the blood 12Last1    9:9 | Xtrik) got in and bathed in the blood of the slain 12Last1    9:10 | wall. When those who were in the fortress saw that there 12Last1    9:11 | Arac’, on a Friday evening, in the year [482] of our (Armenian 12Last1    9:11 | Indeed, such (disasters) did occur in our day, and this narration 12Last1    9:12 | which the Savior had spoken, in warning: “For in those days 12Last1    9:12 | had spoken, in warning: “For in those days there will be 12Last1    9:12 | A man named Ananias stood in the midst of the city 12Last1    9:12 | Jerusalem crying out this lament in a loud voice: “Alas Jerusalem 12Last1    9:12 | as the great Eusebius indicated in his Ecclesiastical History 12Last1    9:13 | Likewise, here in our times, a man similar 12Last1    9:13 | to the (East), and saying in a loud voice day and 12Last1    9:15 | the Caesar and enthroned him in her husband’s stead. However, (this 12Last1    9:15 | queen to a distant island in exile, so that the authority 12Last1    9:18 | to stop the mob, and ( in this) the sun helped them 12Last1    9:19 | those who thought to rule in perpetuity over land and sea 12Last1    9:19 | perpetuity over land and sea, in one moment had lost their 12Last1    10:0 | In accordance with that apparition of 12Last1    10:0 | part of the crockery. For in the palace his father had 12Last1    10:0 | lioness (the queen) was roaring in her den for a companion 12Last1    10:1 | as she herself had written in her edict that “For the 12Last1    10:2 | In the first year of (Constantine’s 12Last1    10:2 | of Maneak, who held sway in the western part, a brave 12Last1    10:4 | they found (Maneak’s son) fallen in the battle, without having fought 12Last1    10:4 | did this and does this in the wisest fashion. He who 12Last1    10:4 | not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the 12Last1    10:4 | not the mighty man glory in his might, let not the 12Last1    10:4 | not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him 12Last1    10:4 | let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and 12Last1    10:4 | steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth” [I. Kings 2.10 and Jeremiah 9.23-24]. Such (a man 12Last1    10:4 | His horn shall be elevated in glory,” as is written [Psalms 111. 9-10] in 12Last1    10:4 | in glory,” as is written [Psalms 111. 9-10] in Psalms 12Last1    10:7 | by means of the prophet, in anger against the kings of 12Last1    10:11 | blessed David confessed to God in a Psalm: “You knew of 12Last1    10:11 | Apostle wrote to the Hebrews in a similar vein: “And before 12Last1    10:11 | is hidden” [Hebrews 4.13]. And the children in the fiery furnace said in 12Last1    10:11 | in the fiery furnace said in praise of Him: “You Who 12Last1    10:12 | Lord alone will be exalted in that day” [Isaiah 2.11]. Such things occurred 12Last1    10:13 | came to an end. For in one year the two brothers 12Last1    10:14 | patrimonial inheritances and became wanderers in a foreign country; thereupon districts 12Last1    10:16 | he solemn places in the monasteries became (dwelling places 12Last1    10:16 | robbers as did the churches in them. (These churches) with their 12Last1    10:17 | for (the clerics) who dwelled in ( the monasteries), what language is 12Last1    10:18 | devoid of all glories, sacked. In place of those mellifluous songs 12Last1    10:18 | who have become the choirmasters. In place of psalm-singing, the 12Last1    10:19 | time now to move forward in our narration 12Last1    10:22 | speak about all of this in the (proper) place, but now 12Last1    10:22 | but now let us proceed in the order we commenced 12Last1    10:23 | up all the treasures found in the home of king Yovhannes 12Last1    10:26 | that second Agag, seating him in his own carriage. Therefore, like 12Last1    10:27 | In these days Byzantine armies entered 12Last1    10:27 | land of Armenia four times in succession until they had rendered 12Last1    10:28 | before them resembling spring gardens in their blazing colors. And (military 12Last1    10:29 | time too, the elderly sat in the squares resplendent with their 12Last1    10:29 | venerable white hair. Mothers, babies in arm, displaying maternal compassion, and 12Last1    10:29 | shall I say about brides in ( the wedding) chamber about grooms 12Last1    10:31 | gaze. The king also glittered in resplendent clothing and in a 12Last1    10:31 | glittered in resplendent clothing and in a crown adorned with pearls 12Last1    10:32 | of the people which went in advance were like waves of 12Last1    10:32 | land had many such things ( in the past). I have written 12Last1    10:33 | honor, sits like a captive in a distant place. Similarly, the 12Last1    10:33 | about without a lord, some in Persia, some in Greece, some 12Last1    10:33 | lord, some in Persia, some in Greece, some in Georgia 12Last1    10:33 | Persia, some in Greece, some in Georgia 12Last1    10:34 | to be, like lion cubs in their lairs.

I 12Last1    10:34 | the elderly sit in chairs in the squares. I hear no 12Last1    10:35 | the same words) were fulfilled in these (present) days 12Last1    10:36 | one effected by Judas, for in that case, although the seller 12Last1    10:37 | did the great Peter write in his catholic letters: “You know 12Last1    10:38 | But in this case, the seller was 12Last1    10:38 | and the wild boar grazed in it” [Psalms 79.14], as the Davidic psalm 12Last1    10:39 | In the year [494A.E. 1045], Ani was taken 12Last1    10:39 | by the emperor’s order succeeded in convincing Gagik, using an oath 12Last1    10:39 | you your land and city in perpetual inheritance.” As the learned 12Last1    10:40 | of a timid nature, but ( in any case) he gave the 12Last1    10:41 | line, or a bird ensnared in a trap. Now when the 12Last1    10:41 | and I shall give you in exchange (the city of) Melitine 12Last1    10:42 | a sagacious man, so learned in theology that he was without 12Last1    10:42 | dwell including villages and cities in the Mesopotamian borders. (This was 12Last1    10:42 | Mesopotamian borders. (This was given) in writing and stamped with a 12Last1    10:43 | saw that Gagik was confined in Byzantium they thought to give 12Last1    10:44 | Eastern part(s) and resided in the city of Samusat (which 12Last1    10:44 | say was built by Samson, in antiquity). He wrote (as follows 12Last1    10:44 | what he will give us in return if I give up 12Last1    10:44 | the city and other strongholds in this land.” (The Byzantine official 12Last1    10:45 | but) which was greatly inferior in value to Ani or the 12Last1    10:46 | his control, and then went in person with numerous troops against 12Last1    10:47 | Asit remained ( in control) of the lordship of 12Last1    10:47 | did not honor the patriarch in accordance with the previous dignity 12Last1    10:47 | habitation be at Arcn awan in the Karin district.” So, the 12Last1    10:48 | down from the mountains located in the northern part of the 12Last1    10:48 | the crowd and requested baptism in the water. (Petros) inquired of 12Last1    10:49 | near him, took the bottle in his hand, but broke it 12Last1    10:50 | and took (Petros), placing him in the fortress called Xaghtoy Arhich 12Last1    10:50 | named Xach’ik, whom they placed in the fortress called Seaw K’ar 12Last1    10:50 | K’ar (Black Rock). They remained ( in confinement) until it was almost 12Last1    10:50 | and taken before the emperor in Constantinople. Prior to this, Xach’k’s 12Last1    11:0 | In the same year, the gate 12Last1    11:1 | Having arrived in the district of Vaspurakan, they 12Last1    11:2 | their advance. He did this in His fathomless wisdom so that 12Last1    11:5 | had commenced, we stood trembling in shocked, horrified terror. But God 12Last1    11:5 | suspect and were found lacking in our thanks 12Last1    11:7 | and lowered that hand upraised in anger to pardon us. But 12Last1    11:7 | a knowledge of Him dawn in our hearts. To those who 12Last1    11:11 | In the year [497] of our (Armenian 12Last1    11:11 | moved forth from Persia, surging in gigantic waves. They filled up 12Last1    11:11 | four corners of the country; in the west, as far as 12Last1    11:11 | as far as Xaghteac’ district; in the north, as far as 12Last1    11:11 | of Tayk’ and Arsharunik’; while in the south it stretched as 12Last1    11:12 | from that unadulterated wine which in his vision the young Jeremiah 12Last1    11:12 | vision the young Jeremiah gave in a golden goblet as a 12Last1    11:15 | to devour—all you beasts in the forest” [Isaiah 56.9]. Upon arrival of 12Last1    11:15 | as eagles pouncing upon food. In the month of September on 12Last1    11:15 | speedily came to our land in great excitement 12Last1    11:16 | miller sobbed together, everyone dressed in melancholy sack-cloth, everyone stopped 12Last1    11:17 | to ashes. Men were killed in the squares, women taken from 12Last1    11:18 | Women were disgraced in public, youths were stabbed to 12Last1    11:18 | youths were stabbed to death in view of (their) elders, the 12Last1    11:20 | we sinned. Therefore, we roamed in slavery among many peoples and 12Last1    11:20 | to remember to take refuge in You. For You turned Your 12Last1    11:20 | eternally angry at us, and, in time, forget our sins 12Last1    11:22 | had long since been growling in its lairs, as the prophet 12Last1    11:23 | nonetheless this was more so in the Mananaghi district, on the 12Last1    11:24 | wood-cutter, filling the valley in front (of the mountain 12Last1    11:26 | Hymns of the mass ceased in the mouths of the priests 12Last1    11:28 | alive were emitting gurgling sounds in pain. Yet others, who had 12Last1    11:32 | you were a mud pit in which the entire population of 12Last1    11:36 | gather my energies to writing in such a way that I 12Last1    12:1 | So (Arcn) was in times past, when it was 12Last1    12:2 | poor. There was no deception in business transactions, nor treachery in 12Last1    12:2 | in business transactions, nor treachery in exchanges and speculators were deplored 12Last1    12:7 | of the great Isaiah who in angry protest condemned such people 12Last1    12:7 | there is no more room, in order to expel their friends 12Last1    12:7 | the ear of the Lord in all its power” [Isaiah 5. 8-9]. I shall 12Last1    12:8 | through God, forgetting the hymn in Psalms which says “They shall 12Last1    12:9 | What shall I say in condemnation of the women? The 12Last1    12:11 | Listener, behold their recompense: “ In place of golden ornaments for 12Last1    12:11 | cut off to mock them. In place of a golden belt 12Last1    12:13 | We did not surpass them in righteousness, but in sin; therefore 12Last1    12:13 | surpass them in righteousness, but in sin; therefore, what pardon or 12Last1    12:15 | was consumed by fire, yet in our case, instead of that 12Last1    12:16 | Why do You hide Yourself in our times of trouble” [Psalms 10.1]? When 12Last1    12:16 | When the unjust behave impiously in Your sanctuaries when those who 12Last1    12:17 | water, not as it was in the past, around the city 12Last1    12:18 | entered, and like reapers (working) in a field, they reaped with 12Last1    12:20 | smoke rose to the sky in thick billows. The flaming columns 12Last1    12:21 | a pitiful and terrifying spectacle in the extreme, for the entire 12Last1    12:21 | glittering sword, and taken refuge in houses, were immolated, one and 12Last1    12:22 | priests, those whom they caught in the churches, they burned to 12Last1    12:22 | disgrace us, put huge hogs in their arms. The number of 12Last1    12:23 | and glorious elderly folk fallen in the squares, your fresh and 12Last1    12:23 | prosperous virgins and women fallen in disgrace, led away into slavery 12Last1    12:24 | forth. But Christ was late in awakening, and it was not 12Last1    12:25 | learn of our omission look in the ruins. We have written 12Last1    13:1 | Eastern land were not few in number. They say that the 12Last1    13:2 | with firm unity, as victors in the past were wont to 12Last1    13:6 | Liparit and his brave warriors in their midst, killing some of 12Last1    13:7 | troops saw this, they turned in flight. The enemy pursued, killing 12Last1    14:2 | They established in his position his sister’s son 12Last1    14:2 | all his treasures there and in Armenia brought to him. For 12Last1    14:3 | had ordered him to settle in that spot 12Last1    14:4 | reason that he had tarried in Constantinople was this: they wanted 12Last1    14:4 | great Illuminator (St. Gregory) was in no way frightened by their 12Last1    14:5 | they did (what they did) in order to make him emulate 12Last1    14:5 | make him emulate them or in good faith, but they requested 12Last1    14:6 | gold ring indicating what sites in Armenia were theirs, and (giving 12Last1    14:6 | and (giving him) two monasteries in Tarnta 12Last1    15:1 | the Revelation of Our Lord, in the evening, when the ranks 12Last1    15:4 | athletes lay stabbed to death in the streets, and the blood 12Last1    16:1 | near the city called Manazkert in the Apahunik’ district, seizing all 12Last1    16:1 | seizing all the extensive places in the fields ([i.e.], the pasturelands). (The 12Last1    16:3 | of) the furnace of Babylon. In this way they ruined the 12Last1    16:5 | readers lay stabbed to death in the squares, while the books 12Last1    16:5 | The elderly did not sit in chairs in the squares, nor 12Last1    16:5 | did not sit in chairs in the squares, nor did the 12Last1    16:5 | nor did lambs frolic about in the meadows 12Last1    16:9 | of all who are participants in this hellish history? Yet I 12Last1    16:10 | Hanjet’ (districts), and what transpired in them, my breathing becomes choked 12Last1    16:12 | Just as in springtime, from the warmth of 12Last1    16:12 | rise, causing streams to form in the snow, inundating the land 12Last1    16:15 | men and led into slavery. In one single moment the country 12Last1    16:20 | them and wrought great slaughter in that place. But then (additional 12Last1    16:20 | up and caught (the Armenians) in their midst. Because of the 12Last1    16:24 | evils to an agitated sea in which many people, swooning from 12Last1    16:26 | does not deal with us in accordance with our sins) caused 12Last1    16:29 | this, he became yet stronger in the faith 12Last1    16:34 | For while the city stood in such consternation and danger, (God 12Last1    16:34 | wonderful idea to be implanted in the heart of a prince 12Last1    16:34 | the city either orally or in writing what (military) plans he 12Last1    16:35 | arrow, approach the (city) wall in the course of battle, and 12Last1    16:35 | the battle would be fought in such a way, or that 12Last1    16:36 | a prophet during Baghak’s day in order to govern the people 12Last1    16:36 | years by means of crows in the K’eriat’ valley, then why 12Last1    16:38 | Seljuks) would place a rock in the catapult’s sling, and hurl 12Last1    16:39 | a rock weighing sixty liters in the sling, and hurled it 12Last1    16:39 | hurled it at the city. In front of it they set 12Last1    16:41 | man. Coming to the breach ( in the wall) he wanted to 12Last1    16:41 | wall) he wanted to enter in force, but suddenly he himself 12Last1    16:47 | We see this in the case of the children 12Last1    16:47 | the case of the children in the (fiery) furnace. God countenanced 12Last1    16:50 | For He divided the fire in two and it burned those 12Last1    16:51 | is blessed for all eternity.” In this case also, God, by 12Last1    16:52 | a city called Arcke, located in the Sea of Bznunik’ (Lake 12Last1    16:53 | returned to his own land in great sadness, since he had 12Last1    17:0 | this with our own eyes, in the case (of Monomachus). For 12Last1    17:1 | But (Monomachus) did not behave in this fashion. Rather, he was 12Last1    17:1 | could have kept the land in peace, (as did the venerable 12Last1    17:1 | squandered on whores, and was in no way troubled by the 12Last1    17:2 | No, he had women brought in from afar, and occupied himself 12Last1    17:2 | it. And so, it was in ( Monomachus’) time that (enemies) from 12Last1    17:5 | him to Babylonia. This transpired in [504] of our (Armenian) [1055] era 12Last1    17:6 | In the same year Persian troops 12Last1    17:6 | under the Sultan’s name arrived in Armenia. But some say that 12Last1    17:6 | Ganjak and was the son- in- law of Ashot, king of 12Last1    17:8 | In the Taron area the prince 12Last1    17:11 | the town called Mankan Gom in Hark’ (district). The (Seljuks) came 12Last1    17:11 | them, and did the same in the surrounding villages and fields 12Last1    17:12 | and everyone on it fell in 12Last1    17:14 | was the period we lived in. Our life was not a 12Last1    17:14 | real one. As the prophet in lamentation complained against his own 12Last1    17:15 | that proverb which they repeat in Israel, ’The fathers ate sour 12Last1    17:15 | no more be used (solely) in Israel. The Lord says: “Behold 12Last1    17:16 | peoples. The entire world dwells in peace, yet we are slaves 12Last1    17:17 | Curopalate’s principality and what (existed) in Byzantium. (It once had) a 12Last1    17:22 | fallen from honor, sitting unconsolably in tattered clothing. Its chandeliers and 12Last1    17:23 | at the (church) doors, books in hand, singing Davidic psalms, dance 12Last1    17:24 | Heaven and those who are in it and over it; inform 12Last1    17:25 | Prophets did so in their joy. For they would 12Last1    17:25 | comrades, and since they share in our joy, they should partake 12Last1    17:25 | our sorrows, as it was in times past, when they bowed 12Last1    17:25 | they bowed down with us in our day of humiliation and 12Last1    17:26 | and sob and shroud themselves in darkness, in no way does 12Last1    17:26 | and shroud themselves in darkness, in no way does this help 12Last1    17:26 | Jerusalem or Judas? Tell me. In no way. Consequently, realizing this 12Last1    17:27 | not God Himself so state in Deuteronomy, “I shall be the 12Last1    17:28 | Lord’s words, which we find in the book of Isaiah: “Before 12Last1    17:28 | When you raise your hands ( in prayer) I shall turn My 12Last1    17:28 | you” [Isaiah 1.15], for what has light in common with darkness 12Last1    18:0 | a lion’s frenzy was roaring in her lair (resembling) what Daniel 12Last1    18:0 | resembling) what Daniel had seen in his vision, in bygone times 12Last1    18:0 | had seen in his vision, in bygone times.
