It suddenly seemed to him again 03Buz4    10:33 | in relation to the Caesareans, it was ordered to return things 03Buz4    10:37 | make baptismal fonts out of it, and these silver fonts still 03Buz4    11:6 | the emperor’s hrovartak and with it a document of displeasure and 03Buz4    12:9 | of his authority and had it preached in every public place 03Buz4    12:14 | outcry was very great against it, there was no lawsuit, and 03Buz4    12:16 | and became so large that it filled the entire valley 03Buz4    12:29 | blinded and they, without knowing it, gropingly came and brought all 03Buz4    13:11 | the city of Arshakawan, since it had been built with impiety 03Buz4    13:16 | I tell you and do it to try to preserve yourself 03Buz4    13:20 | Arshakawan, I myself will rebuild it with justice, and keep it 03Buz4    13:20 | it with justice, and keep it flourishing before you 03Buz4    13:28 | spared because of the righteous. It is because of the righteous 03Buz4    13:29 | clean grain, grows together with it and is spared so that 03Buz4    13:31 | So, it will continue until harvest time 03Buz4    14:2 | It was he who destroyed all 03Buz4    14:7 | It happened that Hayr mardpet was 03Buz4    14:10 | the beauty of those places, its lofty elevation and the view 03Buz4    14:10 | placed his evil eye on it 03Buz4    15:16 | He has become convinced that it was wrong for him to 03Buz4    15:38 | as the basilisk-snake shut its ears so as not to 03Buz4    15:61 | pretended to do nothing about it 03Buz4    16:4 | Now it happened one day that Arshak 03Buz4    16:7 | his king, many times regarding it better to die than to 03Buz4    16:18 | sincerely, how could he oppose it or flee 03Buz4    18:8 | against his senior brother, saying: “ It was Vardan who betrayed you 03Buz4    18:10 | a grudge against Vardan since it was this Vardan who had 03Buz4    18:11 | brother Vasak went to effect it 03Buz4    18:13 | When Vardan’s people saw that it was Vasak’s brigade, they neither 03Buz4    18:13 | doubt. They reasoned that since it was the force of Vardan’s 03Buz4    18:19 | The child was named after its father, Vardan 03Buz4    20:17 | a foreign land and considered it better to die than to 03Buz4    20:18 | So, king Arshak allowed it, and went against the Byzantines 03Buz4    20:25 | such a battle and winning it as well as receiving such 03Buz4    20:33 | this plan and confirmed that it was fitting to do it 03Buz4    20:33 | it was fitting to do it 03Buz4    20:53 | When it was the hour to bid 03Buz4    20:58 | examine the slander and rebuke it 03Buz4    20:60 | and Shapuh, king of Iran. It continued for more than thirty 03Buz4    21:6 | Now it happened that peace came about 03Buz4    21:8 | sealed such a contract, gave it to the Iranian king, and 03Buz4    22:15 | raised the weapon and stuck it into the elephant’s body. But 03Buz4    24:10 | they were unable to take it because of the security of 03Buz4    24:13 | of king Sanatruk because of its colossal, gigantic firm construction 03Buz4    25:5 | that there was no counting it 03Buz4    28:1 | the country of Armenia to its foundations 03Buz4    28:2 | country of Armenia and all its boundaries 03Buz4    34:1 | After Suren, it was Vsemakan who came, sent 03Buz4    39:3 | the Iranian king, he used it as a target and shot 03Buz4    39:3 | as a target and shot it full of arrows 03Buz4    43:2 | Anticipating it, the general of Armenia, Vasak 03Buz4    44:5 | Now it happened that once his mother 03Buz4    44:11 | dews and she realized that it was they in the appearance 03Buz4    44:11 | and I did not know it 03Buz4    51:2 | You yourself know, lord, that it is now thirty years that 03Buz4    51:3 | We are unable to stand it anymore, nor are we able 03Buz4    51:3 | we able to fight anymore. It is better that we leave 03Buz4    51:11 | But it would be better for you 03Buz4    51:12 | my presence how many years it has been that you have 03Buz4    53:6 | saw this and heard about it, they pressured and forced their 03Buz4    54:5 | justly. But if he violates it, that same Gospel will bring 03Buz4    54:7 | I bound with chains, and it remains in my treasury 03Buz4    54:21 | that water be sprinkled on it, and half the floor be 03Buz4    54:23 | wishes, you became my foe. It has been thirty years that 03Buz4    54:33 | Now it became time for the evening 03Buz4    54:34 | soil on the ground underneath it 03Buz4    54:38 | said to him: “Hey, fox, it was you who obstructed things 03Buz4    54:42 | While God allowed it, I brought you and the 03Buz4    55:0 | overturning of the land to its foundations 03Buz4    55:1 | to dig up and demolish it 03Buz4    55:4 | the fortress, held and besieged it 03Buz4    55:6 | but were unable to take it, for the place was very 03Buz4    55:8 | Now Arshak’s son Pap it happened, was not at that 03Buz4    55:10 | And the delegation went to its crown-prince. While they were 03Buz4    55:11 | the fortress and not surrender it to the Iranians 03Buz4    55:13 | encouragement. The siege stretched into its thirteenth month 03Buz4    55:16 | were in the fortress, and it was punishment from the Lord 03Buz4    55:17 | the next hour, [200] died and it happened that [500] people died on 03Buz4    55:27 | Artashat which they captured, destroying its walls. They took all the 03Buz4    55:29 | stone upon stone. They left it desolated and barren of all 03Buz4    55:32 | flock, take the shepherd. For it is impossible for the shepherd 03Buz4    55:34 | demolished and dug through, overthrowing it to the foundations. From that 03Buz4    55:36 | the city and dug through it 03Buz4    55:37 | in Bagrewand, leading away from it [5000] Armenian households and [8000] Jewish households 03Buz4    55:38 | and destroying the city to its foundations 03Buz4    55:39 | the district of Tozb, burned it, pulled it down to its 03Buz4    55:39 | of Tozb, burned it, pulled it down to its foundations and 03Buz4    55:39 | it, pulled it down to its foundations and leading from it 03Buz4    55:39 | its foundations and leading from it [5000] Armenian households and [18000] Jewish households 03Buz4    55:41 | of this Jewry and settled it in the cities of Armenia 03Buz4    55:43 | They took Naxchawan and demolished it as well. They took thence 03Buz4    55:48 | the woman be affixed to it. Then he subjected the tikin 03Buz4    56:3 | is a man of evil? It is clear from his hair 03Buz4    56:4 | want to do, and do it. But as for the question 03Buz4    56:4 | in turning white first, for it was at least fifteen years 03Buz4    58:10 | there every day to see it, as though it were a 03Buz4    58:10 | to see it, as though it were a miraculous phenomenon 03Buz5    1:6 | land of Armenia, to save it from enemies, and that God 03Buz5    1:18 | seized the country and held it forcibly 03Buz5    1:19 | of Armenia and ruled over it. He took back all the 03Buz5    1:20 | fortress, but could not take it. So, it remained until king 03Buz5    1:20 | could not take it. So, it remained until king Pap came 03Buz5    1:20 | went to king Pap in its entirety when he returned 03Buz5    1:27 | the most goodly religion, as it had been in the days 03Buz5    4:7 | Pap, king of the Armenians. It is appropriate for the Aryan 03Buz5    4:9 | amazement if you can do it 03Buz5    4:38 | For it was he who created everything 03Buz5    4:38 | hands the whole universe with its inhabitants like locusts, he measured 03Buz5    4:39 | blame and judge; for now, it is not people who have 03Buz5    4:45 | you commanded us, so that it would be good for us 03Buz5    4:49 | useful to us, then multiply it, and if mercy pleases you 03Buz5    4:49 | if mercy pleases you, grant it to us 03Buz5    4:50 | Lord in heaven, so be it done, and with what rod 03Buz5    4:63 | There was so much of it that there was no number 03Buz5    4:63 | number or measure for describing it 03Buz5    5:0 | the Armenians enjoyed because of it 03Buz5    5:20 | the Byzantine legion, which opened its shield-barrier as though receiving 03Buz5    5:25 | frenzied brigade, the Mushegheans, for it seemed to me that flame 03Buz5    5:25 | such in the brigade that it seemed as though fire was 03Buz5    6:7 | extremely pleased inside, reasoning: “Now it will be simple for me 03Buz5    6:10 | big that fold over fold it stretched down, to the point 03Buz5    6:14 | lights. They led him through it, where there were shield-bearing 03Buz5    6:19 | the head of the king. It was there that Dghak started 03Buz5    6:19 | am worthy of death, but it befits him to slay me 03Buz5    6:20 | on a spear, and erected it in the court concourse 03Buz5    7:5 | the rest fled, chased out. It happened that the eunuch Drastamat 03Buz5    7:11 | want, and I will grant it, without delay 03Buz5    7:22 | fruit or delicacy, and plunged it into his own heart. He 03Buz5    7:23 | the same knife and thrust it into his side. And he 03Buz5    13:3 | of Aghuania and themselves, as it had been previously. He killed 03Buz5    17:2 | Copk to pillage. He put its azgs to the sword, took 03Buz5    19:1 | the areas of districts surrounding it. For they too had rebelled 03Buz5    24:8 | as for you, oh king, it befits you as a king 03Buz5    24:13 | But he did not want it, and rejected it, saying: “For 03Buz5    24:13 | not want it, and rejected it, saying: “For me it was 03Buz5    24:13 | rejected it, saying: “For me it was a great thing that 03Buz5    24:14 | you I said publicly, so it is fitting to be killed 03Buz5    24:24 | took the body and buried it in the martyrs’ resting place 03Buz5    25:2 | Nerses had died and that it was his spirit which had 03Buz5    25:3 | place where he was buried. It was here that these two 03Buz5    26:5 | tied the lion’s paw with it and cured it 03Buz5    26:5 | paw with it and cured it 03Buz5    26:16 | Shalita, but could not find it anywhere, because he had asked 03Buz5    26:16 | he had asked God for it in advance, and his request 03Buz5    27:6 | caught this fish and used it 03Buz5    27:8 | rancid there, like bile, and it is bitter to this day 03Buz5    27:13 | you look at her face; it is clear that you have 03Buz5    28:4 | of God, but thought that it remained the same wine, so 03Buz5    28:5 | bread and wine and put it on the altar where the 03Buz5    28:5 | liturgy was served so that it would turn into blood, this 03Buz5    28:21 | He brought water, sprinkled it on his lips; when he 03Buz5    28:23 | himself a pit and in it for seven years he repented 03Buz5    32:19 | one could say anything about it. Not a thing 03Buz5    33:3 | Byzantine empire, and do as it says 03Buz5    33:4 | else. Rather, they passed over it in silence 03Buz5    34:6 | the land of Armenia, how it might be kept (made) to 03Buz5    35:7 | Was it not that very Mushegh who 03Buz5    35:8 | Was it not by Mushegh’s order and 03Buz5    35:9 | It is fitting for him to 03Buz5    35:9 | Armenia with cities and make it a military base inhabited by 03Buz5    35:22 | Pap and ask him what it is 03Buz5    35:27 | up his body and took it to his village 03Buz5    36:3 | onto the torso and placed it on the roof of a 03Buz5    37:13 | As they were travelling it happened that Manuel was unable 03Buz5    37:31 | the spear and forcefully thrust it into general Manuel’s mouth 03Buz5    38:6 | of red leather and on it the figure of an eagle 03Buz5    38:19 | I have verified and confirmed it, and it is so 03Buz5    38:19 | verified and confirmed it, and it is so 03Buz5    43:6 | upon them. In this fashion it will be easy to grab 03Buz5    43:10 | of the banak herd because it would bring attention to himself 03Buz5    43:18 | herd. For God so had it that according to the preparedness 03Buz5    43:18 | brigade to go hunting. Consequently, it happened that the whole herd 03Buz5    43:33 | them put their minds to it and looked for Meruzhan. They 03Buz5    43:36 | with his spear by thrusting it into his side, such that 03Buz5    43:46 | shriek loudly, since they thought it was the head of Vahan’s 03Buz5    43:47 | long spike, they realized that it belonged not to Samuel but 03Buz5    44:8 | will not abandon you when it is so 03Buz5    44:14 | For it would have been better if 03Buz5    44:20 | He regarded it a bitter sin to lament 03Buz5    44:20 | no one dared to do it. But after his death, stupid 03Buz5    44:20 | stupid people dared to do it 03Buz6    1:7 | decided upon peace. They thought it would be a good thing 03Buz6    1:8 | It would be good to try 03Buz6    1:8 | our midst. First, we divide it into two, under two Arsacid 03Buz6    6:4 | from the wilderness and buried it at the bun village of 03Buz6    8:1 | former patriarch Parhen - if, indeed, it is proper to style him 03Buz6    8:5 | the horse he was astride, it was large, colored and swift 03Buz6    8:5 | was astonished and he wanted it 03Buz6    8:30 | Taking the water, he poured it on the man’s head, saying 03Buz6    9:10 | It would be good if I 04Yegh1    1:14 | living in their lifetimes as it were in gloomy darkness; their 04Yegh1    1:16 | struck, they do not feel it; if they strike, they are 04Yegh1    1:20 | impiety be hidden? But when it is revealed, look, and you 04Yegh1    1:20 | look, and you will know its final outcome 04Yegh1    1:23 | will be fulfilled; and as it seems to us in our 04Yegh1    2:47 | hid his intention; but, as it appeared to the wise, he 04Yegh2    1:3 | knows death does not fear it 04Yegh2    1:6 | It is better to be blind 04Yegh2    1:11 | body and soul. Just as it is for a man, so 04Yegh2    1:11 | is for a man, so it is for the whole world 04Yegh2    1:23 | before anyone had blown on it, then he began to wound 04Yegh2    2:32 | sun, offering sacrifices and calling it god, and serving the fire 04Yegh2    3:58 | practiced their worship and increased it 04Yegh2    3:59 | consolation to the effect that it was better for a man 04Yegh2    3:73 | For where it was suitable to take up 04Yegh2    4:88 | rule from Arhmn and gave it to Ormizd, saying to him 04Yegh2    5:101 | not like to eat meat. ’It is right to marry,’ 04Yegh2    5:101 | to look at a woman. ’It is a great sin,’ 04Yegh2    6:130 | God, and so that in its extended peace we too may 04Yegh2    6:133 | If you consider it reliable to hear our words 04Yegh2    6:134 | But as for our religion— it is not obscure nor is 04Yegh2    6:134 | is not obscure nor is it preached in some corner of 04Yegh2    6:134 | corner of the land, but it is spread throughout the whole 04Yegh2    6:134 | world is densely filled with it 04Yegh2    6:135 | It does not have its surety 04Yegh2    6:135 | It does not have its surety in a man, to 04Yegh2    6:135 | by a protector but has its confirmation in itself 04Yegh2    6:136 | It does not appear sublime from 04Yegh2    6:136 | others, but from heaven above it derives its infallible charter and 04Yegh2    6:136 | from heaven above it derives its infallible charter and not through 04Yegh2    6:140 | something” and everything else received its being from him 04Yegh2    6:145 | But if it appears to you that anything 04Yegh2    6:148 | good, the same became evil; it has occurred that he again 04Yegh2    6:149 | king’s order is marked on it, whoever tears it receives death 04Yegh2    6:149 | marked on it, whoever tears it receives death as punishment 04Yegh2    6:150 | But is it then right to call the 04Yegh2    6:150 | the king evil? Far from it; I say no. But by 04Yegh2    7:153 | was born from a woman, it was not right for you 04Yegh2    7:157 | pain, thenceforth is compassionate to it like a father 04Yegh2    7:159 | the same nature. And since it was not from the foreign 04Yegh2    7:161 | But it destroyed the creatures of the 04Yegh2    7:162 | If this is so, it is not possible to call 04Yegh2    7:167 | the fine earth and kneads it with the moisture of water 04Yegh2    7:168 | corruptible elements, might understand that its leader alone is incorruptible and 04Yegh2    7:171 | That which is fire, in its being and essence is mixed 04Yegh2    7:171 | in air and water, while it itself never appears alone 04Yegh2    7:172 | of water is separate, yet it also exists in mixtures of 04Yegh2    8:177 | If it is right to believe in 04Yegh2    8:177 | down the law and gave it to him. He made known 04Yegh2    8:177 | him that this earth with its earthly beings and heaven with 04Yegh2    8:190 | an evil one malevolent; for it is often the case that 04Yegh2    8:192 | And if it is the case among men 04Yegh2    9:202 | He did not think it any disgrace to put on 04Yegh2    9:203 | gradually did he bestow on it the honor of immortality, as 04Yegh2    9:203 | soul, and spirit, and united it to his divinity —a unity 04Yegh2    9:215 | if we were immortal and it was possible for us to 04Yegh2    9:215 | for the love of Christ, it would be right to do 04Yegh2    9:217 | indissolubly with God—from whom it is impossible to be divided 04Yegh2    9:218 | they would remain true to it in life and death 04Yegh2    9:219 | were they who on hearing it praised the answer 04Yegh2    9:220 | one another, astonished more at its bold fearlessness than at its 04Yegh2    9:220 | its bold fearlessness than at its eloquence 04Yegh2    10:246 | It was the rule in former 04Yegh2    10:248 | whole worldwide empire as if it would crash and scatter in 04Yegh2    10:248 | would crash and scatter in its entirety over the hills, hollows 04Yegh2    11:258 | side and note: “I consider it harm to receive into the 04Yegh2    11:261 | the latter not god, but it is not even alive as 04Yegh2    11:263 | But it is a gift of grace 04Yegh2    11:263 | all rational peoples whose lot it is to dwell under the 04Yegh2    11:264 | Its foundations have been placed on 04Yegh2    11:264 | rock; powers below cannot shake it or powers above move it 04Yegh2    11:264 | it or powers above move it 04Yegh2    11:270 | the servants of Christ in its details 04Yegh2    12:285 | to the holy church, that it may not be suddenly attacked 04Yegh3    1:14 | It was they who were threatened 04Yegh3    1:14 | own bodies as food for it. The outer darkness is being 04Yegh3    1:16 | pit; why did you fill it in advance 04Yegh3    1:19 | If only you knew and it was clear to you that 04Yegh3    1:24 | fortress has been destroyed to its foundations 04Yegh3    2:29 | or indicate their intention, but it was impossible to remain silent 04Yegh3    2:47 | the earth to open that it might become their tomb 04Yegh3    2:50 | to come to our aid, it would be impossible for the 04Yegh3    3:70 | covenant of this church. For it is one thing what a 04Yegh3    3:73 | were wise, and I knew it; but in this matter you 04Yegh3    3:74 | Otherwise it would be assumed that you 04Yegh3    3:74 | in agreement with them and it was at your advice that 04Yegh3    3:75 | magism and those who accept it may be seen to have 04Yegh3    4:77 | this country is emptied of its population, then on you especially 04Yegh3    4:78 | saw, and now we regret it greatly 04Yegh3    4:79 | do what I say and it will seem good to you 04Yegh3    4:84 | use force against this country it will be destroyed, and we 04Yegh3    5:111 | before them all; he put it in writing, sealed it, and 04Yegh3    5:111 | put it in writing, sealed it, and bound it to the 04Yegh3    5:111 | writing, sealed it, and bound it to the Gospel. He begged 04Yegh3    5:111 | the Gospel. He begged that it be left to God to 04Yegh3    5:111 | and that they not take it upon themselves as men to 04Yegh3    5:122 | may be alive in us; it is for him easy to 04Yegh3    6:126 | the great city Artashat with its villages. They took the following 04Yegh3    6:126 | Tsakhanist, the secure Oḷakan, and its villages with it; Arpaneal, the 04Yegh3    6:126 | Oḷakan, and its villages with it; Arpaneal, the town of Van 04Yegh3    6:126 | the town of Van, and its villages with it; Greal and 04Yegh3    6:126 | Van, and its villages with it; Greal and Kapoyt, Orotn and 04Yegh3    6:133 | the sign of the cross. It even happened that the walls 04Yegh3    7:153 | But this ignoble man thought it better to preserve the pact 04Yegh3    7:156 | to kill and to die. It is easy for God to 04Yegh3    8:184 | love of you; but if it happens that we slaughter them 04Yegh3    8:185 | the right wing, they threw it back onto the left. They 04Yegh3    9:201 | the villages and towns in its neighborhood. He has put to 04Yegh3    9:217 | enterprise as we have begun it 04Yegh3    10:230 | select religion. But I consider it equal and on a par 04Yegh3    10:230 | our Mazdean religion, just as it was respected in the time 04Yegh3    10:239 | as follows: “Yes, noble king, it is just as you have 04Yegh3    10:247 | He reestablished everything according to its former usage 04Yegh3    11:253 | in good faith, henceforth practice it even more so. But only 04Yegh3    11:257 | yet they were amazed at its defective reasoning and said to 04Yegh3    11:262 | our nature, and by uniting it with his indivisible divinity received 04Yegh3    11:266 | Heaven with its angels and earth with its 04Yegh3    11:266 | its angels and earth with its inhabitants bear us witness that 04Yegh4    1:7 | It is unwillingly that I shall 04Yegh4    1:22 | as armor, and became as it were a soldier fulfilling his 04Yegh4    2:41 | falsely confusing matters for them; it was addressed to a man 04Yegh4    2:48 | It pleased the Greek Empire to 04Yegh5    1:22 | holy death, let us accept it with joyful hearts—provided only 04Yegh5    1:25 | unable to help them, let it also be impossible that for 04Yegh5    2:34 | heavenly beings would desire were it possible 04Yegh5    2:48 | of the Maccabees, he read it out to them all, telling 04Yegh5    3:53 | ditches, erected a rampart, surrounded it with a wooden palisade, and 04Yegh5    3:53 | wooden palisade, and vigilantly fortified it like a city 04Yegh5    4:89 | over everyone. With crystal purity it attracts the contemplation of those 04Yegh5    4:89 | and holy sight; penetrating heaven it brings them close to the 04Yegh5    4:89 | the unapproachable vision, and through its power inclines them to the 04Yegh5    4:90 | on high, and seen all its greatness, he alone will inherit 04Yegh5    4:92 | of this earth, we see it filled with all kinds of 04Yegh5    4:94 | death but do not attain it, while there are many who 04Yegh5    4:94 | are delighted when they find it 04Yegh5    4:98 | is but a part of its substance.

For we had always observed 05Parp3    43:6 | For we had always observed its attendants carrying the strewn ashes 05Parp3    43:7 | took the fire and extinguished it with water—it in no 05Parp3    43:7 | and extinguished it with water— it in no way befits your 05Parp3    43:8 | teachers, you have said, and it is true, that water is 05Parp3    43:8 | fire, but we were honoring it, and doing it a good 05Parp3    43:8 | were honoring it, and doing it a good turn 05Parp3    43:9 | any are worthy of death, it is the ones who scorned 05Parp3    43:9 | and not we who took it and gave it to its 05Parp3    43:9 | who took it and gave it to its brother so that 05Parp3    43:9 | it and gave it to its brother so that it would 05Parp3    43:9 | to its brother so that it would be kept affectionately and 05Parp3    43:9 | with much pomp, entrusted to it forever 05Parp3    44:1 | the Aryan world to protect it from bad and damaging things 05Parp3    44:11 | plan; nor do we regret it. Nor do we stand in 05Parp3    44:12 | you mentioned, in our Bible it is said that ’The gods 05Parp3    44:13 | There are materials of which it is composed, and those materials 05Parp3    44:13 | and those materials will extinguish it. Those elements which compose fire 05Parp3    44:13 | which compose fire will cause it to blaze up 05Parp3    44:14 | iron, stone, water, and wood. It is otherwise with the glass 05Parp3    44:15 | puts iron on top of it, it will go out. Similarly 05Parp3    44:15 | iron on top of it, it will go out. Similarly, a 05Parp3    44:15 | stronger with more wood. Thus, it is not the fire, but 05Parp3    44:15 | be styled a god, since it both gives birth to, and 05Parp3    44:16 | Is it not the lowest evil of 05Parp3    44:17 | if (the fire) deals with its brother and parent in a 05Parp3    44:17 | a hostile fashion, how would it know to honor its worshipper 05Parp3    44:17 | would it know to honor its worshipper or to be hostile 05Parp3    44:17 | eats those (materials) which gave it birth 05Parp3    44:18 | half for their dirty work?

Now you see that it has led to the destruction 05Parp3    45:15 | served. We often protested that it was impossible for us to 05Parp3    45:16 | loathsome, and we hated (doing it), but we decided to get 05Parp3    45:16 | our land and to quit it with our wives and children 05Parp3    45:24 | Order to see it 05Parp3    45:29 | of you Aryans is, order it carried out upon us 05Parp3    46:5 | your sons’, until all of it is paid back 05Parp3    46:8 | Iranians, and attempted to demonstrate it then, it was no use 05Parp3    46:8 | attempted to demonstrate it then, it was no use.

Yet such 05Parp3    53:2 | Should it be found (that you have 05Parp3    53:2 | of fear, and see to it that pleasant thanks is our 05Parp3    53:4 | It was as though the great 05Parp3    53:9 | ones did not know that it was precisely (their pending martyrdom 05Parp3    53:9 | were rejoicing insatiably because of it 05Parp3    54:3 | about his well-being. For it was God Who was furthering 05Parp3    54:7 | could establish truth and make it grow 05Parp3    54:10 | but were unable to realize it 05Parp3    55:0 | first Vehdenshapuh did not consider it proper to reveal to the 05Parp3    55:3 | there was no road to it 05Parp3    55:6 | of this, and all of it was done by you and 05Parp3    55:9 | But should you not accept it, and persist in the same 05Parp3    55:12 | as soon as they hear it, they will all deride both 05Parp3    55:19 | not gods at all. Let it not happen that through our 05Parp3    55:20 | Too bad it is not possible for you 05Parp3    55:22 | now have obtained, and that it is impossible for you to 05Parp3    56:7 | am knowledgeable about our faith ( it is true), I have been 05Parp3    56:15 | men could put up with it? On the contrary, (such talk 05Parp3    57:25 | neither small nor insignificant. Rather, it is certain that the power 05Parp3    57:25 | lost and do not realize it 05Parp3    57:29 | from the saints’ bodies that it delighted everyone’s senses 05Parp3    57:32 | to return each (body) to its own land, to benefit the 05Parp3    57:33 | given great treasure and presented it to the captive Armenian naxarars 05Parp3    57:34 | as I am wearying of it) related (events) one by one 05Parp3    57:34 | but the Omniscent has recorded it and is keeping it for 05Parp3    57:34 | recorded it and is keeping it for the day of the 05Parp3    57:41 | the marvellous Kamsarakan, and wrote it down with enthusiastic concern. For 05Parp3    58:2 | stringent guard until now. Should it be that you sent them 05Parp3    58:6 | and Abraham who, upon hearing it, responded as though in unison 05Parp3    59:5 | you have ever received. Therefore, it is fitting that I adore 05Parp4    61:7 | words are insufficient to describe it, one may definitely say that 05Parp4    61:11 | in peace, as God willed it, all of them blessed by 05Parp4    63:8 | good things, and enthusiastically encouraged it 05Parp4    63:9 | though he did not want it 05Parp4    63:14 | They considered it better to die with forbearance 05Parp4    63:15 | of the Bible, they considered it better to be insulted because 05Parp4    63:15 | was no one to extinguish it 05Parp4    64:2 | to accept your faith, like it, and want to implement the 05Parp4    64:3 | that faith) and to ridicule it. Furthermore, he hates and reviles 05Parp4    64:13 | we purchase there, for as it is available in no other 05Parp4    64:13 | of the times to buy it there 05Parp4    64:16 | his words. However, so that it would not appear to the 05Parp4    64:18 | no Armenian will ever have its equal in honor or splendor 05Parp4    64:22 | of the servants who gave it to me might take it 05Parp4    64:22 | it to me might take it from me. For, having lived 05Parp4    64:23 | me, only death can take it. ( The king) does not dare 05Parp4    64:23 | dare, because he cannot do it. I in no way fear 05Parp4    64:23 | honor to me or take it away 05Parp4    64:27 | you heard from me. For it is impossible for me to 05Parp4    64:30 | to speak and note: “No. It is not possible. Otherwise he 05Parp4    64:33 | the office of the kat’oghikosate. It is no longer yours’ 05Parp4    64:37 | So, it was, thusly honored by all 05Parp4    65:3 | damage and death. Just as it was in the past, they 05Parp4    65:8 | allow anyone else to do it or profit from it 05Parp4    65:8 | do it or profit from it 05Parp4    66:6 | and for us. For him, it would save him from his 05Parp4    66:6 | his pangs of conscience, while it would free us from the 05Parp4    66:9 | Vahan Mamikonean. When he heard it, he said to them all 05Parp4    66:10 | Then I wish—and it would have been preferable to 05Parp4    66:15 | own deaths, for we consider it better to die in one 05Parp4    66:17 | word that you can do it 05Parp4    66:20 | Gospel, all of them hailed it. Placing their hands upon it 05Parp4    66:20 | it. Placing their hands upon it, each of them note: “Whoever 05Parp4    67:8 | brigade to the Armenians, but it has not arrived yet. They 05Parp4    67:9 | will be exhausted and regret it 05Parp4    68:17 | and those with you hear it, you will certainly regard such 05Parp4    68:19 | there was no doubt of it, he replied to those who 05Parp4    68:19 | to state the message, hear it, and decide what is fitting 05Parp4    68:19 | and necessary to do about it 05Parp4    68:23 | are strengthened and beat them, it is fine and good. But 05Parp4    69:7 | It was then that Garjoyl Maxaz 05Parp4    69:9 | It was there that the marzpan 05Parp4    69:11 | But it was Hrahat, son of the 05Parp4    70:3 | well, and need not learn it from anyone. You have also 05Parp4    70:4 | Cleaning the grain, he puts it in the heavenly grainaries, and 05Parp4    70:15 | bring the collar; you fasten it around his neck 05Parp4    71:14 | Bashgh Vahewuni was, they put it to flight 05Parp4    72:1 | this unbelievable vision they doubted its substance and thought it was 05Parp4    72:1 | doubted its substance and thought it was not real 05Parp4    72:5 | It was then that the God 05Parp4    72:6 | Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in 05Parp4    73:3 | that I could not resist it, I fled to the Armenian 05Parp4    73:5 | Huns shall destroy them. But it seems to me that when 05Parp4    73:9 | of the plains and made it appear that the lights of 05Parp4    73:10 | But if we see that it is indeed the case, then 05Parp4    73:12 | The Armenian brigade, since it had made an oath with 05Parp4    73:12 | out everything he said (be it true or false) because of 05Parp4    73:20 | and sepuhs of Armenia, saying: “ It is good that we are 05Parp4    73:20 | if we had to postpone it by yet another day, the 05Parp4    75:2 | about two hrasax distant from it at a village named Mkarhinch’ 05Parp4    75:9 | and throw their exerement on it, and they revile both the 05Parp4    75:14 | nationality. But as you know, it was only the Armenians who 05Parp4    75:14 | Aryans saw and heard about. It was accomplished not with many 05Parp4    75:15 | of any superior bravery. Rather, it was that we were troubled 05Parp4    75:16 | if I had control of it, as my ancestors did, and 05Parp4    75:22 | if I found no favor, it was important to me that 05Parp4    75:23 | wanted to kill myself. Unfortunately, it is impossible to kill only 05Parp4    75:27 | and indeed you can do it— first and foremost let him 05Parp4    75:28 | licentious talk. You should have it put in writing and sealed 05Parp4    75:28 | audacity,” and you should pardon it. You should keep the highborn 05Parp4    75:29 | rebelled are ready to do it again. For we knew that 05Parp4    76:16 | I be able to buy it and live, because of the 05Parp4    76:16 | poverty, and purchase (life). But it would be extremely stupid to 05Parp4    76:17 | I now hold, and regard it as good and honorable. I 05Parp4    77:18 | his crown before he received it. And before the end I 05Parp4    77:20 | It appears that others saw the 05Parp4    77:22 | will return ashamed and regretting it 05Parp4    78:0 | When it was the blooming time of 05Parp4    78:7 | dread in the brigade regarding its future hostile operations. What had 05Parp4    80:13 | heap of ashes and giving it to one of our maid 05Parp4    80:14 | a sign; test and examine it well. For if we bear 05Parp4    83:4 | hits the mark both times, it is laudable and honorable. However 05Parp4    83:6 | For it was the holy Spirit which 05Parp4    83:7 | no more than [4,000], to judge it by sight 05Parp4    83:8 | God’s name and always confess it, for eternity 05Parp4    83:12 | In other words, (he thought) it was possible to give way 05Parp4    83:17 | entire Iranian brigade as though it was merely a torrential rain 05Parp4    84:4 | Thinking it over, I fear that in 05Parp4    84:6 | Gods’ assistance settled his affairs, it is time to return to 05Parp4    85:4 | sort of a death was it 05Parp4    85:5 | useful information from emissaries. However, it is very difficult for me 05Parp4    85:6 | brings death and destruction, nonetheless, it is necessary to say what 05Parp4    86:4 | Now, was it not Peroz’ unseeing and contemptuous 05Parp4    88:6 | replied: “Brave of the Aryans, it seems that Vahan was triumphant 05Parp4    88:9 | and now are here testify) it is very difficult to say 05Parp4    88:10 | who upon hearing can believe it 05Parp4    88:11 | deed that all who observed it recall it today and probably 05Parp4    88:11 | all who observed it recall it today and probably fear of 05Parp4    88:11 | today and probably fear of it will not depart 05Parp4    88:12 | and scythes chopping grass, putting it in many heaps close to 05Parp4    88:14 | to look at them. For it seemed to all of us 05Parp4    88:22 | But it seems that Vahan would not 05Parp4    89:4 | have dedicated our lives—that it is impossible to deal with 05Parp4    89:7 | they do not agree to it, and become (more) severe, we 05Parp4    89:8 | fearlessly. This is good, and it is our first demand 05Parp4    89:10 | correct. But if you like it otherwise, as is the case 05Parp4    89:13 | and neither the land nor its inhabitants can remain stable and 05Parp4    89:17 | three demands, and know that it is impossible, then just as 05Parp4    90:10 | princes, and as He wills it, so He has them speak 05Parp4    90:12 | they have relayed all of it to me, and that I 05Parp4    90:17 | keepers said to them: “If it is only the fact that 05Parp4    91:7 | have fashioned. From now on it is very necessary for you 05Parp4    91:8 | servant, and then, without learning it from you, it seems I 05Parp4    91:8 | without learning it from you, it seems I (will) know the 05Parp4    91:8 | I am so forgetful, since it has not been so many 05Parp4    91:20 | how you dared to plot it, let alone effect it, you 05Parp4    91:20 | plot it, let alone effect it, you reply that you were 05Parp4    91:21 | For a brave man it is better that he live 05Parp4    92:0 | naxarars with him, and replied: “ It is easy for forward-looking 05Parp4    92:1 | over the land and renew it as is happening now, it 05Parp4    92:1 | it as is happening now, it seems to me and everyone 05Parp4    92:4 | from stupid, deserving from undeserving, it was sufficient and full 05Parp4    92:8 | It is known by everyone and 05Parp4    92:8 | their craft and benefit from it, want to teach the same 05Parp4    92:9 | of that, not recognizing that it was your instruction that created 05Parp4    92:15 | give you a sign—test it. Command those people who through 05Parp4    92:17 | quick mind with verbosity, nonetheless it is impossible not to mention 05Parp4    93:15 | ones. Now they wanted, if it were possible, to purchase even 05Parp4    93:15 | the name of rebellion, but it was not given to them 05Parp4    93:17 | It was then at the atean 05Parp4    93:17 | in the Gospel were realized: “ It is not you speaking, but 05Parp4    93:20 | Without this it is impossible for us to 05Parp4    93:20 | and essential to us; confirm it with the king’s seal. It 05Parp4    93:20 | it with the king’s seal. It is unnecessary to elaborate on 05Parp4    93:20 | since you know all of it 05Parp4    94:0 | said all this, Nixor heard it all and enthusiastically consented 05Parp4    94:1 | saying: “Quickly organize and dispatch it to court, for Peroz’ son 05Parp4    94:2 | this matter successfully and benevolently. It is appropriate and fitting that 05Parp4    94:7 | rooted in the true faith, it was a sign resembling the 05Parp4    94:9 | organized the Armenian cavalry, entrusting it to Vren Vanandac’i, and sent 05Parp4    94:9 | to Vren Vanandac’i, and sent it to court. Among those sent 05Parp4    94:11 | reputation and (the news of it) reached the ears of king 05Parp4    95:5 | When one servant is lost, it is usually possible to replace 05Parp4    95:6 | our laws do not command it 05Parp4    95:7 | doing, but were incapable of it. For unlike you, they were 05Parp4    95:9 | of the entire multitude, saying: “ It is improper to speak at 05Parp4    95:11 | As you described it, your brother Peroz’ will and 05Parp4    95:13 | thoughtfully revere and love, for it seems laughable and we do 05Parp4    95:19 | from the land of Armenia.

It was because of his being 06Khor1    3:3 | Chaldaeans, Assyrians, Egyptians, and Hellenes. It is indeed to the wisdom 06Khor1    3:3 | that we aspire. So, then it is clear to us all 06Khor1    3:6 | But then someone might say: it was because there was no 06Khor1    3:8 | But it seems to me that nowadays 06Khor1    3:9 | Therefore it is superfluous for us to 06Khor1    3:13 | the church and Christians, considering it superfluous to repeat the fables 06Khor1    4:2 | of all mankind, or if it seems better to someone to 06Khor1    4:13 | offered Him a sacrifice, and it was accepted 06Khor1    4:18 | and indeed to acts of its own pleasing. Among these he 06Khor1    4:20 | God or Him whose name it is, nor had the one 06Khor1    4:25 | the name of son, whereas it simply says of all the 06Khor1    4:27 | It seems to me that to 06Khor1    5:2 | It is clear to all that 06Khor1    5:2 | of Noah, so long as it is desired to examine any 06Khor1    5:3 | because divine Scripture has separated its own as its special nation 06Khor1    5:3 | has separated its own as its special nation and has left 06Khor1    5:3 | of being set out in its own account 06Khor1    5:49 | But perhaps someone thought it suitable, for the sake of 06Khor1    6:21 | among the Greeks studying wisdom, it happened one day that the 06Khor1    6:23 | and came upon dry land, it says, one of his sons 06Khor1    6:24 | his sons from him had its first origins 06Khor1    7:4 | from the gods and given it to mankind?

From it on the south there opened 06Khor1    16:7 | of infinite length and height; it has remained firm, as they 06Khor1    16:10 | the cementing around the stones, it would appear to him to 06Khor1    16:11 | over many stadia and brought it to the place designated for 06Khor1    16:18 | the various wonderful constructions on it, many men cannot comprehend nor 06Khor1    16:18 | men cannot comprehend nor is it possible to describe them 06Khor1    16:20 | we are unwilling to include it in our history. But we 06Khor1    16:22 | surface of the rock, smoothing it like wax with a stylus 06Khor1    19:3 | men will praise or criticize it is of no import to 06Khor1    20:9 | From him on, it is not according to tribe 06Khor1    20:10 | survive to our own time. It truly reads as follows: “Put 06Khor1    21:7 | But it would be too much if 06Khor1    22:5 | Therefore it is right for us now 06Khor1    22:5 | for such matters we considered it right that we ourselves should 06Khor1    23:4 | How dear it would have been for me 06Khor1    23:9 | kings, we shall place beside it that of the kings of 06Khor1    27:6 | My friends,” he said, “ it happened to me today that 06Khor1    27:6 | One would have said that it was in the land of 06Khor1    27:10 | midst of such confused visions it seemed to me that I 06Khor1    28:7 | and they prepared to put it into execution 06Khor1    30:18 | him, and as he drew it back again, he brought out 06Khor1    30:20 | the death of Azhdahak brought it to an end. And this 06Khor1    32:2 | son of Eruand, and may it so be for you too 06Khor1    32:10 | statue in Georgia they honored it with sacrifices 06Khor1    33:6 | truly and accurately and in its proper time 06Khor1    33:8 | war; but we have added it here 06Khor1    34:9 | But as it is the desire of your 06Khor2    5:5 | attacking his army they put it to flight. Many torrents of 06Khor2    6:3 | as hunting places. Koḷ with its hot climate he used as 06Khor2    6:8 | where the great river, taking its origin from the northern lake 06Khor2    7:10 | from whom the family received its name - but this was later 06Khor2    7:19 | I do not know if it was because the former race 06Khor2    8:20 | this tale is too much - it is the tale of all 06Khor2    8:29 | Ardzn and the district around it, and the Taurus Mountain, that 06Khor2    8:32 | the Goḷt’nets’i, I have found it said that they are truly 06Khor2    8:42 | sons, he did not consider it suitable that they should all 06Khor2    8:42 | province of Hashteank’ and in its frontier valley, which is outside 06Khor2    8:44 | on and in the future, it was a rule among the 06Khor2    9:2 | blood of snakes, and implanted it deep into the stone column 06Khor2    9:8 | And it was commanded by Arshak that 06Khor2    12:2 | that he did not know its number; but on the roads 06Khor2    12:5 | their ancestor and so set it up in Tarawn in their 06Khor2    13:11 | the drinking of his soldiers it shrank to its winter level 06Khor2    13:11 | his soldiers it shrank to its winter level. By the multitude 06Khor2    13:14 | He thought that it referred to that of others 06Khor2    13:17 | had inquired and learned what it was that he had cried 06Khor2    14:10 | in that they had taken it upon themselves to set up 06Khor2    14:13 | statue of Barshamin, he embellished it with ivory, crystal, and silver 06Khor2    14:13 | and silver. He ordered that it should be brought and set 06Khor2    18:6 | with magnificent buildings and named it Caesarea in honor of Caesar 06Khor2    19:14 | if the times should change it would be impossible for him 06Khor2    24:7 | him, he undertook to give it to Arsham 06Khor2    26:10 | and opposed them, saying that it was the emperor’s command that 06Khor2    27:4 | protected the Euphrates from Cassius; it was called Edessa. And he 06Khor2    27:6 | Now although it is not in the chronological 06Khor2    27:6 | for our account, yet because it was the descendants of King 06Khor2    28:9 | circumstances of their arrival in its place and merely mention them 06Khor2    30:7 | cure him of his pains. It ran as follows 06Khor2    31:6 | small and pleasant city, and it is sufficient for us both 06Khor2    32:2 | having seen me. For thus it is written concerning me: ’Those 06Khor2    33:5 | When Abgar heard it, he note: “This is he 06Khor2    33:6 | And it happened that when Thaddaeus entered 06Khor2    33:29 | senate. But the senate rejected it because the matter had not 06Khor2    33:29 | not been previously investigated by it 06Khor2    33:34 | ridiculous. For according to them it is by the scrutiny of 06Khor2    33:35 | God; and on this reasoning it is right for men to 06Khor2    33:36 | But may it please you, my lord, to 06Khor2    33:42 | him his fault. And if it is your wish you may 06Khor2    33:52 | For it is pleasing to me that 06Khor2    34:3 | closing of the rock and its receiving of the apostles’ body 06Khor2    34:3 | receiving of the apostles’ body, its removal by his disciples and 06Khor2    34:4 | so we did not consider it at all important to repeat 06Khor2    34:4 | at all important to repeat it in detail 06Khor2    34:11 | recorded this very briefly as it has been related by others 06Khor2    34:14 | It is narrated by some that 06Khor2    35:4 | giving orders as to how it should be done. But slipping 06Khor2    35:4 | the grasp of those holding it and falling on him, it 06Khor2    35:4 | it and falling on him, it crushed his feet and killed 06Khor2    35:8 | quantity of wheat and distributed it to all the needy, to 06Khor2    36:3 | Because it had been destroyed by an 06Khor2    36:3 | by an earthquake, he demolished it and rebuilt it even more 06Khor2    36:3 | he demolished it and rebuilt it even more magnificently, fortifying it 06Khor2    36:3 | it even more magnificently, fortifying it with a double wall and 06Khor2    36:8 | as we understand the matter it happened like this: a white 06Khor2    36:11 | Abgar and Sanatruk and placed it in the archive in Edessa 06Khor2    37:11 | It seemed that the murder of 06Khor2    38:12 | for the native tongue of its inhabitants, Syriac, the other for 06Khor2    39:6 | It was, they say, a double 06Khor2    40:2 | to his own and called it Bagaran, that is, in it 06Khor2    40:2 | it Bagaran, that is, in it he had set up the 06Khor2    41:2 | of the river and secured it with walls to keep inside 06Khor2    42:2 | It is pleasant for me to 06Khor2    42:5 | lashes; on the northern side its curved form truly imitated the 06Khor2    42:7 | The river with its high banks resembled a mouth 06Khor2    42:9 | This we shall describe in its own place 06Khor2    44:4 | And as it was springtime, therefore all the 06Khor2    44:5 | Mihrdat; but after Mihrdat’s death it had not been given to 06Khor2    44:5 | to anyone until Eruand restored it to Argam 06Khor2    46:6 | from Eruand and would double it, provided that he abandon and 06Khor2    47:2 | of King Sanatruk, he placed it on Artashēs’ head and made 06Khor2    47:7 | It is said that in those 06Khor2    49:5 | him with pine wood, so it was built quickly and without 06Khor2    49:5 | without labor. He erected in it a temple and transferred to 06Khor2    49:5 | a temple and transferred to it from Bagaran the statue of 06Khor2    50:6 | give up the youth. For it is not right for heroes 06Khor2    50:11 | with golden rings he cast it around the waist of the 06Khor2    50:15 | at the marriage of Artashēs; it rained pearls at the wedding 06Khor2    50:18 | whom we did not consider it important to enumerate by name 06Khor2    51:10 | It is this Argam who is 06Khor2    52:2 | It is pleasant for me to 06Khor2    52:5 | the province of Shavarshan, though it has kept in addition its 06Khor2    52:5 | it has kept in addition its original name Artaz, because the 06Khor2    53:7 | father was greatly disturbed about it 06Khor2    54:3 | in the region of Caesarea it swept Tiran and the western 06Khor2    54:3 | and the western army before it and drove them quickly back 06Khor2    54:3 | Basean. Artavazd hastened to oppose it with the armies of the 06Khor2    54:5 | the Roman army he threw it back as far as the 06Khor2    56:5 | But it is said that in the 06Khor2    57:4 | But it is true, as one can 06Khor2    60:4 | pay tribute to the Romans. It had also been heard that 06Khor2    60:6 | It happened in those times that 06Khor2    60:7 | Titus and himself, and called it Elia after his own name 06Khor2    60:8 | He settled in it pagans and Christians, whose bishop 06Khor2    61:1 | sisters, and his death with its allegory 06Khor2    61:9 | birth a misfortune befell him. It was thought that the wives 06Khor2    62:5 | for us our inheritance, for it is cramped, since we have 06Khor2    62:8 | But when it was divided according to their 06Khor2    62:12 | the town of Tateawn with its estates and the great vineyard 06Khor2    63:5 | death reached him; on hearing it he stopped there 06Khor2    63:6 | It happened one day that Bakur 06Khor2    63:12 | It is superfluous for us to 06Khor2    63:14 | And it seems to me that the 06Khor2    65:5 | colony of Jewish captives, and it became a commercial town 06Khor2    65:6 | Now this Vaḷarsh surrounded it with a wall and strong 06Khor2    65:6 | and strong ramparts and called it Vaḷarshapat; it is also called 06Khor2    65:6 | ramparts and called it Vaḷarshapat; it is also called Nor K’aḷak’ 06Khor2    65:13 | inscription in Greek so that it would be clear that he 06Khor2    66:3 | later he rejected and opposed it; not that he came to 06Khor2    66:5 | translated the whole into Syriac. It was also later turned into 06Khor2    66:8 | It is from this history that 06Khor2    66:8 | taken our account and repeated it for you, from the reign 06Khor2    67:5 | in this fashion and turned it into a desert 06Khor2    69:1 | Artashēs, king of Persia, until its extinction 06Khor2    69:6 | of the Parthian kingdom until its demise, they had relations with 06Khor2    70:3 | account on this and repeat it now in this book, leaving 06Khor2    74:2 | save him from Khosrov, be it by poison or secret assassination 06Khor2    74:2 | for the Parthians,” he said, “ it should be easy to trap 06Khor2    74:7 | province of Utē, thinking that it was the arrival of the 06Khor2    75:3 | Diocletian; he also included in it the deeds of the kings 06Khor2    75:8 | be accurate we shall repeat it for you briefly 06Khor2    76:5 | of the country and turned it into a wilderness 06Khor2    77:4 | a splendid fashion and reestablished its former order 06Khor2    78:3 | might be, he discovered that it was Artavazd of the Mandakuni 06Khor2    79:3 | seized the chariot and stopped it, at which all were amazed 06Khor2    81:10 | king of China, saying: “May it not displease you that I 06Khor2    81:11 | agreed to make peace. So, it is clear that the Chinese 06Khor2    81:12 | Their land is wonderful in its abundance of all varieties of 06Khor2    81:12 | of all varieties of fruits; it is adorned with beautiful plants 06Khor2    81:12 | in saffron, peacocks, and silk. It has untold numbers of gazelles 06Khor2    82:8 | It was the latter who in 06Khor2    82:11 | on his horse and killed it with their arrows; struck down 06Khor2    82:11 | with their arrows; struck down it threw the king to the 06Khor2    83:8 | this his emblem, and bearing it before him was victorious in 06Khor2    85:4 | with leather and forcefully throwing it from behind, he skillfully caught 06Khor2    85:5 | his left hand and draw it to himself with a violent 06Khor2    86:3 | preaching of Christ’s gospel. Hearing it with pleasure he repeated it 06Khor2    86:3 | it with pleasure he repeated it to his nobles with praise 06Khor2    86:5 | It happened in those days that 06Khor2    86:10 | mornings from their roofs, for it faced them. But if anyone 06Khor2    86:11 | of the city, separated from it by a very small river 06Khor2    86:12 | And all the people worshipped it in the mornings from their 06Khor2    86:13 | more than a few despised it on the grounds that their 06Khor2    86:14 | And they left it and went away. But the 06Khor2    86:14 | as the wooden cross, and it stood over it with twelve 06Khor2    86:14 | cross, and it stood over it with twelve stars. At this 06Khor2    86:14 | everyone believed and they worshipped it 06Khor2    86:15 | of healing were performed by it 06Khor2    86:16 | the world and all in it - or to speak more truly 06Khor2    87:10 | But Kamsar, considering it difficult to live in enmity 06Khor2    88:3 | the same happened here also. It is impossible for the leopard 06Khor2    88:6 | would not remain silent about it, he gathered an army to 06Khor2    88:11 | Thinking it unnecessary to return to Rome 06Khor2    88:12 | It contained no such undertakings of 06Khor2    88:12 | so-called Strategion - for in it he stored the war materiel 06Khor2    88:15 | in every way and called it New Rome, but the world 06Khor2    88:15 | Rome, but the world called it the city of Constantine 06Khor2    88:16 | called the Palladium and placed it in the Forum under the 06Khor2    90:9 | greatly loving the province, called it Arsharunik’ after his own name 06Khor2    90:9 | his own name, because previously it was called Eraskhadzor 06Khor2    91:4 | But let us explain why it is called “Caves of Manē 06Khor2    91:12 | province of Ekeḷeats’ and laid it to rest in T’il, his 06Khor2    91:16 | It was indeed fitting that they 06Khor2    92:2 | and author of our salvation. It has pleased the Holy Spirit 06Khor2    92:14 | nation, which has not straightened its heart and whose soul has 06Khor3    1:3 | one may seem attracted to it because of its rhetoric, but 06Khor3    1:3 | attracted to it because of its rhetoric, but rather that desiring 06Khor3    4:2 | As we find it said in the divine histories 06Khor3    4:4 | of this and reflected on it, they gathered together in the 06Khor3    7:7 | and the sea, contrary to its nature, covered the fields 06Khor3    8:2 | made peace with him, considering it sufficient to rule over the 06Khor3    8:4 | hunting birds and other game. It was for this reason that 06Khor3    8:5 | Duin in Persian; in translation it means “hill 06Khor3    9:3 | of Vaḷarshapat set siege to it 06Khor3    9:6 | a lance the felt turned it aside 06Khor3    10:2 | him the special tribute, giving it instead to the emperor. And 06Khor3    10:6 | our country since he considered it to be leaderless 06Khor3    13:4 | the Persian army, and dispersed it. Offering his services, he brought 06Khor3    13:7 | demons with him. He ordered it to be set up in 06Khor3    13:8 | Tiran agreed and brought it back, unaware that by deceit 06Khor3    14:3 | But Saint Yusik snatched it from the king’s hands, and 06Khor3    14:3 | the king’s hands, and throwing it to the ground, trampled on 06Khor3    14:3 | to the ground, trampled on it and broke it to pieces 06Khor3    14:3 | trampled on it and broke it to pieces, warning the king 06Khor3    15:8 | has been taken off by its general and has deserted. We 06Khor3    15:8 | Persians say of us that it was by force and not 06Khor3    16:3 | that would inspire terror in its hearers. At the same spot 06Khor3    18:2 | his plans, he, Shapuh thought it appropriate by acting benevolently to 06Khor3    18:4 | top with a book under its feet. This signified that just 06Khor3    22:9 | my uncle on whose account it occurred 06Khor3    22:11 | For it was the custom only for 06Khor3    23:10 | this command and immediately carried it out, not so much because 06Khor3    23:11 | plain of Aḷiovit and buried it in the royal city of 06Khor3    24:3 | the Great also learned of it; he cursed Arshak and the 06Khor3    24:5 | in those who heard of it 06Khor3    24:6 | remedy of life and give it to Olympias, Arshak’s first wife 06Khor3    26:3 | governor of the city, ordered it to be defended against Shapuh 06Khor3    27:7 | all the royal treasures in it, even the bones of the 06Khor3    28:1 | The capture of Tigranakert and its complete destruction 06Khor3    28:3 | of Tigranakert and shout threats, it is the mark of valiant 06Khor3    28:3 | in an unimpeded spot, while it is the mark of women 06Khor3    29:17 | did not myself come with it; rather I preserved fidelity toward 06Khor3    29:17 | ruined our country and took it captive, even digging up the 06Khor3    30:4 | an uninhabited island and broke it to pieces. The sailors were 06Khor3    33:3 | temple of Damascus and made it into a church, and did 06Khor3    35:6 | they were unable to take it because of its impenetrable defenses 06Khor3    35:6 | to take it because of its impenetrable defenses, yet because God’s 06Khor3    36:2 | army under Mehrujan and dispatched it to Armenia, entrusting the land 06Khor3    36:7 | Greek, on the pretext that it was to prevent the Armenians 06Khor3    36:7 | the Greeks. But in reality, it was to destroy the teaching 06Khor3    37:11 | accoutred. One could see as it were a wall: most of 06Khor3    37:18 | turning the detachment around put it to flight 06Khor3    37:22 | like a crown, and making it red hot note: “I crown 06Khor3    37:22 | be king of Armenia; and it is my privilege as aspet 06Khor3    37:23 | And while it was still red hot, he 06Khor3    37:23 | still red hot, he placed it on Mehrujan’s head, and thus 06Khor3    38:6 | removed his body and buried it in the town of T’il 06Khor3    41:4 | our land and ruled over it after violent battles against the 06Khor3    42:5 | but because he thought that it was better to rule over 06Khor3    42:14 | or fraud and will keep it irrevocably 06Khor3    44:3 | disturbed the land and kept it in turmoil 06Khor3    44:6 | robbery with great enthusiasm, and it seemed to them a reasonable 06Khor3    45:5 | go inside, and that thus it should be let down from 06Khor3    45:6 | harm because the brambles kept it well away 06Khor3    47:6 | Siunik’, with the help of its prince who was called Vaḷinak 06Khor3    47:7 | when he was not present, it was unintelligible to the people 06Khor3    48:2 | king over them and considering it difficult to be without a 06Khor3    48:9 | contract into writing and confirm it with the seal of the 06Khor3    48:9 | the cross: when we see it, we shall hasten to your 06Khor3    48:17 | from the Greek governors, be it by waging war against the 06Khor3    49:2 | promising that he would keep it prosperous and they would pay 06Khor3    49:7 | him even more anxious for it. After many efforts and no 06Khor3    51:4 | king of kings, remembering that it was for such things that 06Khor3    51:7 | sinned had themselves died for it 06Khor3    51:10 | in the royal treasury, stamping it with his own image; and 06Khor3    52:3 | Mesopotamia to pacify and organize it and make a reckoning of 06Khor3    52:9 | before, they returned and gave it to Sahak the Great and 06Khor3    52:10 | to them, they realized that it was not possible through these 06Khor3    54:2 | sector of Armenia but held it himself through governors; he also 06Khor3    54:3 | of Caesarea by virtue of its right of ordination and used 06Khor3    55:9 | It happened once that in hot 06Khor3    55:11 | He replied: “You proceed, for it is the mark of demons 06Khor3    55:12 | growth while the fire surrounded it. And looking to both sides 06Khor3    55:16 | crossed the fire as if it were a meadow of flowers 06Khor3    57:7 | May it now please your majesty not 06Khor3    57:28 | written that they should study it with all diligence and receive 06Khor3    59:2 | appearance of a marsh. In it are innumerable fish and various 06Khor3    59:5 | he founded the city. Surrounding it with a deep ditch, he 06Khor3    59:5 | at a great depth; above it he built very high and 06Khor3    59:10 | and a garrison and named it Theodosiopolis that the emperor’s name 06Khor3    60:3 | He taught not as if it were an art, but he 06Khor3    60:3 | art, but he gave as it were inspiration to his pupils 06Khor3    62:2 | heaven. Thus, the ether pours its rays into both zones, and 06Khor3    62:2 | through the sun according to its order, revolution, and time 06Khor3    62:4 | food by itself; and through its irrigation it masters both dryness 06Khor3    62:4 | itself; and through its irrigation it masters both dryness and moisture 06Khor3    62:4 | produced by the river’s fertility; it makes Egypt rich as an 06Khor3    62:4 | rich as an island, surrounding it and flowing throughout it by 06Khor3    62:4 | surrounding it and flowing throughout it by means of the irrigation 06Khor3    62:6 | Its leader is no longer that 06Khor3    62:6 | enveloping the infinite world with its five peaks, but Mark with 06Khor3    63:4 | reprimanded him, but he denied it 06Khor3    63:8 | For if it were before a Christian king 06Khor3    63:8 | fallen one; but with pagans it would be for his greater 06Khor3    63:10 | And how could it be that I would exchange 06Khor3    64:5 | his for rebellion. But if it is because of his immoral 06Khor3    64:10 | But it was not more than a 06Khor3    65:2 | Kukayarich to ask that if it did not please him Vṙam 06Khor3    65:7 | the pagan audience to comprehend it 06Khor3    65:9 | However he did not accept it, saying to his kinsman of 06Khor3    65:9 | fashion for the future as it was established by Artashir and 06Khor3    65:12 | to this and ordered that it all be done; and reestablishing 06Khor3    65:13 | Persians, let him know that its entire contents have never been 06Khor3    66:9 | When the princes heard it and realized that it was 06Khor3    66:9 | heard it and realized that it was by divine command that 06Khor3    66:9 | the saying in the gospel: “ It is necessary that offense should 06Khor3    67:8 | Sahak’s venerable body and laid it to rest in their own 06Khor3    67:14 | visible to a few, but it was visible to the whole 06Khor3    67:16 | Some said it should be taken to his 06Khor3    67:16 | him, Goḷt’n; and others that it should be buried in that 06Khor3    68:5 | and you the bride endured it, preserving your marriage in chastity 06Khor3    68:5 | before us has wisely expressed it 06Khor3    68:8 | It is better for them to 06Khor3    68:27 | over whom to weep.

Or is it my father and high priest 06Khor3    68:27 | bridled dissentient tongues [cf. James 1:26]? Or is it myself, who remain abandoned and 06Khor3    68:27 | of his advice? Or is it the disasters that have befallen 06Khor3    68:28 | account or help us inscribe it on stelae 07Seb1    7:1 | the Kark’edovmayi empire ruled over it. He undertook a terrible and 07Seb1    7:4 | word, were eye-witnesses as it were, seeing before their eyes 07Seb1    7:4 | Therefore, they despised death, reckoning it better to die on the 07Seb1    8:3 | around the armies and poured it onto the Persians, surrounding them 07Seb1    8:12 | after a siege they destroyed it from top to bottom, and 07Seb1    8:12 | troops who were stationed in it 07Seb1    8:13 | They (the Greeks) had set it on fire and burned it 07Seb1    8:13 | it on fire and burned it.

Because they had dismembered it limb from limb, St Gregory 07Seb1    37:2 | limb, St Gregory had sealed it with his ring; as had 07Seb1    37:2 | Armenia, not daring to open it.

They did take the fortress 07Seb1    45:4 | fortress of Khram; they slaughtered ( its garrison) with the sword, and 07Seb1    45:6 | was terrified, and he reckoned it better to give tribute and 07Seb1    45:7 | that he should go with it to Damascus to meet Muawiya 07Seb1    45:9 | honour to which he dedicated it. He brought water, directed (a 07Seb1    45:13 | Tome. When they had heard it, they did not agree to 07Seb1    46:17 | with distinction like the latter?

But the Godhead, if it is not in every place 07Seb1    46:18 | cannot be or cause whatever it wishes, what sort of divinity 07Seb1    46:18 | what sort of divinity is it? ’ 07Seb1    46:21 | they realized the conformity with it of the faith of Armenia 07Seb1    46:23 | how much the more is it right for us to enjoy 07Seb1    46:23 | and God-loving rule that it remain unmoved forever, like the 07Seb1    46:25 | unworthy servants, when we saw it we offered obeisance and with 07Seb1    46:27 | is very awesome, as indeed it must be with regard to 07Seb1    46:28 | Now it is clear that he is 07Seb1    46:30 | in his catholic (epistle), saying: ’It is he who came with 07Seb1    46:30 | with blood and water.

On it they established their own enormity 07Seb1    46:77 | They said it is unworthy and impossible to 07Seb1    46:78 | according to his flesh, then it would be impossible for a 07Seb1    46:78 | forth God made man. And it would be impossible for that 07Seb1    46:82 | men, king Constans, we reckoned it best through this declaration to 07Seb1    47:2 | mother of all nations, and its kingdom is the kingdom of 07Seb1    47:4 | ’Like a tempest it shall run from the south 07Seb1    47:4 | the land, trampled and smote it 07Seb1    47:8 | the king: ’He said that it is necessary to avenge the 07Seb1    48:6 | country; and I shall reckon it in the royal tax.

On the contrary it was the just Job who 08Ghev1    14:10 | It is this way that you 08Ghev1    14:10 | to your opinions, and employ it in your defense 08Ghev1    14:11 | mouths of the Prophets. Furthermore, it is by the grace and 08Ghev1    14:11 | Christianity has been preached, after it was founded, propagated and believed 08Ghev1    14:11 | was founded, propagated and believed. It is by these words that 08Ghev1    14:11 | is by these words that it will still prosper by the 08Ghev1    14:13 | It would be expedient for you 08Ghev1    14:19 | Consequently, it is not surprising that the 08Ghev1    14:20 | pronounced by men, but because it was the Word of God 08Ghev1    14:21 | falsification of these writings, if it is the head of your 08Ghev1    14:21 | has forgotten himself, and if it is some other, he has 08Ghev1    14:23 | We know that it was Abraham who earlier received 08Ghev1    14:23 | the mission of Christ, and it was to him that God 08Ghev1    14:24 | until he comes to whom it belongs; and to him shall 08Ghev1    14:28 | sons of Israel who read it and were knowledgeable of it 08Ghev1    14:28 | it and were knowledgeable of it?” Again, “After many years of 08Ghev1    14:29 | while those who did it, human beings as they were 08Ghev1    14:29 | opinions, pretending to draw from it all that follows, stating: “That 08Ghev1    14:30 | himself on a lie, and it is a lie to adopt 08Ghev1    14:31 | When we say that it was the Hebrews who composed 08Ghev1    14:31 | to say that they produced it out of their imagination, but 08Ghev1    14:31 | imagination, but that they wrote it based on the faith of 08Ghev1    14:33 | It is by the inspiration of 08Ghev1    14:37 | eliminate the rest, because thus it would have been much easier 08Ghev1    14:40 | the flesh, so how could it be that, the temple, the 08Ghev1    14:41 | the object of proving that it was He Himself who had 08Ghev1    14:43 | Daniel prophesied in Babylon, for it was there that he was 08Ghev1    14:44 | There it was also that the events 08Ghev1    14:44 | taken place, yet he announces it in an unmistakable manner in 08Ghev1    14:45 | work of God, for when it was compared with the edition 08Ghev1    14:46 | exposed to faults of memory.” It is true that every man 08Ghev1    14:46 | exempt from forgetfulness and conjectures, it is He who speaks through 08Ghev1    14:56 | rather have us declare that it was written by God and 08Ghev1    14:56 | Furqan, although we know that it was ’Umar, Abu Turab, and 08Ghev1    14:56 | deceitfully publicized that God sent it down from the heavens 08Ghev1    14:57 | hindered us from removing from it the names of the evangelists 08Ghev1    14:57 | evangelists, or from adding that it was God who sent it 08Ghev1    14:57 | it was God who sent it down from the heavens 08Ghev1    14:58 | way of sending them Prophets. It is for this reason that 08Ghev1    14:59 | I repeat, it was for this reason that 08Ghev1    14:66 | According to your own people, it has been a hundred years 08Ghev1    14:69 | sovereign, pontiff and executioner, would it be astonishing that the Christian 08Ghev1    14:69 | that the Christian faith, were it the invention of some human 08Ghev1    14:70 | Yet it is now eight hundred years 08Ghev1    14:70 | divergence among Christians is found, it is because of the differences 08Ghev1    14:71 | as one sees among you. It would appear that, among the 08Ghev1    14:73 | In any case it is nothing strange that Christians 08Ghev1    14:76 | ever dared to act so, it would have been impossible for 08Ghev1    14:78 | the word ’Father’, you replace it with ’Lord’, or sometimes with 08Ghev1    14:80 | It is very difficult indeed for 08Ghev1    14:82 | Do you believe that it is to angels, who dare 08Ghev1    14:82 | futile. To whom then could it be that God is addressing 08Ghev1    14:83 | you, and then answer to it. Although the sun is one 08Ghev1    14:83 | and the rays emanate from it, yet the sun is one 08Ghev1    14:83 | the sun is other than its rays, their union does not 08Ghev1    14:85 | in the Holy Scriptures; as it is, you give highest consideration 08Ghev1    14:87 | ours, which, as long as it has not proceeded from our 08Ghev1    14:87 | others), and as soon as it has gone out, decomposes and 08Ghev1    14:88 | It is this Word which Scriptures 08Ghev1    14:90 | It is evident that Adam was 08Ghev1    14:90 | but do you believe that it was his material body full 08Ghev1    14:90 | image? Never. On the contrary, it was his soul, reason and 08Ghev1    14:97 | And it will so be that whoever 08Ghev1    14:97 | die from among his people.” [Deut. 18:15, 18-19]. It is true that since the 08Ghev1    14:105 | and not to revolt against it, as it really happened, lest 08Ghev1    14:105 | to revolt against it, as it really happened, lest strangers, that 08Ghev1    14:108 | shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the chief Moab 08Ghev1    14:108 | well how, in precise fashion, it indicates the future domination He 08Ghev1    14:109 | you want to know what it means for Him to rule 08Ghev1    14:109 | Him to rule all nations, it means that all peoples must 08Ghev1    14:116 | desperately corrupt; who can understand it? O Lord, the hope of 08Ghev1    14:119 | over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with 08Ghev1    14:119 | establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness 08Ghev1    14:120 | Now it is well known that (Jesus 08Ghev1    14:121 | of David? And how is it eternal and as the days 08Ghev1    14:121 | the days of the heavens? It is the celestial kingdom of 08Ghev1    14:121 | son of David, of whom it was announced: “(Of the increase 08Ghev1    14:121 | over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with 08Ghev1    14:121 | establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness 08Ghev1    14:122 | It is evident from this passage 08Ghev1    14:124 | through Zechariah God note: “If it seems right to you, give 08Ghev1    14:125 | you wish and will find it such as we have presented 08Ghev1    14:125 | such as we have presented it to you 08Ghev1    14:129 | and like sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he 08Ghev1    14:132 | Is it that you have forgotten, though 08Ghev1    14:132 | you are hardly aware of it, the tremendous imposture credited by 08Ghev1    14:137 | It is you who wants to 08Ghev1    14:137 | will have my response in its proper place 08Ghev1    14:139 | He was really man, since it is necessary to believe that 08Ghev1    14:141 | I have power to lay it down, and I have power 08Ghev1    14:141 | I have power to take it again 08Ghev1    14:142 | the word “Father” you change it, replacing it either by the 08Ghev1    14:142 | Father” you change it, replacing it either by the word “Lord 08Ghev1    14:143 | you put no faith in it. That passage is this: “He 08Ghev1    14:143 | meaning of this is that it is not in His human 08Ghev1    14:147 | by the voice, proved that it was He alone to whom 08Ghev1    14:148 | Lord) as a mere man. It seems that it is only 08Ghev1    14:148 | mere man. It seems that it is only the truth that 08Ghev1    14:149 | according to your supposition, is it an incredible thing that a 08Ghev1    14:154 | We have not modified anything; it was the Lord Himself who 08Ghev1    14:158 | pretend that we have replaced it by baptism. The mystery of 08Ghev1    14:159 | precept of circumcision only that it might serve as a sign 08Ghev1    14:159 | this institution), you cannot know it, as observed above 08Ghev1    14:161 | for circumcision by only ridiculing it to the end. In the 08Ghev1    14:162 | the divine institution of Baptism, it was announced to us by 08Ghev1    14:165 | light, and there was light.” [Gen. 1:3]. It was on the same day 08Ghev1    14:167 | the Prophets of the Lord? It was for you and such 08Ghev1    14:168 | in these terms: “How is it possible for God to dwell 08Ghev1    14:169 | the earth, and the animals, it appears occupy a superior place 08Ghev1    14:172 | His image, would not think it shameful to take man’s image 08Ghev1    14:174 | It is you alone who consider 08Ghev1    14:175 | all other created things, for it is of holy men that 08Ghev1    14:176 | It is clearly to be seen 08Ghev1    14:176 | which you call filthiness, since it befits the ever-living to 08Ghev1    14:177 | suffered death in His cause? It is of (these) martyrs that 08Ghev1    14:180 | whose corpse, as soon as it was cast into the tomb 08Ghev1    14:182 | yourself under eternal death, as it has been predicted by our 08Ghev1    14:183 | It is thus that Muhammad, your 08Ghev1    14:185 | It is (in imitation of this 08Ghev1    14:188 | wood and the colors on it, we do not give them 08Ghev1    14:190 | not only did not abolish it, but also called it the 08Ghev1    14:190 | abolish it, but also called it the dwelling of Abraham.

As it is, they are able to 08Ghev1    14:194 | affair with women, as if it were a matter of tilling 08Ghev1    14:195 | wife, as you remind me, it is well known that therein 08Ghev1    14:196 | sin to be such as it is, and that is what 08Ghev1    14:197 | not to say anything, were it possible, about the shamelessness with 08Ghev1    14:198 | It is said that the serpent 08Ghev1    14:198 | seashore the serpent spits out its venom before entering into its 08Ghev1    14:198 | its venom before entering into its love affair 08Ghev1    14:205 | It is then true that Satan 08Ghev1    14:206 | the maritime desert indicates that it is your desert which is 08Ghev1    14:208 | destined to save the universe. It is this disobedience of the 08Ghev1    14:208 | his owner, and the ass its master’s crib; but Israel does 08Ghev1    14:210 | It was then the enemy who 08Ghev1    14:210 | then the enemy who deplored its desolation, and who, not finding 08Ghev1    14:211 | drawing you into his error. It is thus that he has 08Ghev1    14:215 | your pleasures to any good, it is precisely for that reason 08Ghev1    14:215 | heaven of no account if it is not peopled with women 08Ghev1    14:217 | world, the world would love its own; but because you are 08Ghev1    14:218 | His countenance.

For the 08Ghev1    20:0 | than the previous body—entrusted it to general Maslama, and sent 08Ghev1    20:0 | to general Maslama, and sent it against Byzantium 08Ghev1    20:4 | that you reject us? Could it be that you have not 08Ghev1    20:6 | Haghia) Sophia, I will turn it into a bath house for 08Ghev1    20:11 | verse and many others like it did he pour forth before 08Ghev1    20:14 | live by our swords. Rather, it is the right hand of 08Ghev1    20:14 | impudence, the way you do. It has never entered your mind 08Ghev1    20:15 | That is because it was not due to the 08Ghev1    20:17 | It was the wand of Moses 08Ghev1    20:19 | trap, as was fitting. For it was the Lord Who hardened 08Ghev1    20:23 | Cross to pay honor to it 08Ghev1    20:24 | of the Lord’s Cross upon it 08Ghev1    20:30 | to my own errors. Since it has entered your heart to 08Ghev1    22:1 | city (of Varach’an, Balanjar), beating its defenders and capturing the city 08Ghev1    22:2 | captives and loot and sent it to their caliph Hisham, relating 08Ghev1    24:4 | resumed the fight and prolonged it. But then Marwan beat the 08Ghev1    24:6 | upon the city because of its accumulated sins 08Ghev1    24:7 | It was here that the prophecy 08Ghev1    24:8 | the house of Haz’ael, and it shall devour the strongholds of 08Ghev1    24:9 | It is certainly worth pondering why 08Ghev1    24:10 | It seems to me that this 08Ghev1    24:11 | source of all good things. It was this that irrevocably transformed 08Ghev1    25:7 | Now it happened that at the very 08Ghev1    25:10 | bad seed. That is how it was in this case 08Ghev1    26:2 | foolish scheme. Quite the contrary, it is a devious plan and 08Ghev1    26:3 | It will bring only trouble and 08Ghev1    26:3 | and let us not do it. Instead let us pay taxes 08Ghev1    26:7 | Now it happened that all the sons 08Ghev1    26:11 | of our entire land, consigning it to a shadowy darkness and 08Ghev1    27:1 | Now it happened that while Marwan still 08Ghev1    27:6 | the royal treasury, and distributed it to his troops.

Its chief was Muse’, who besieged 08Ghev1    32:5 | he was unable to capture it, he treacherously summoned (Gagik) to 08Ghev1    32:6 | to save his life. But it did no good, for he 08Ghev1    33:0 | drinking their blood as though it were water 08Ghev1    33:7 | For as we noted earlier, it was the Lord who hardened 08Ghev1    34:1 | Nonetheless they considered it better to die bravely than 08Ghev1    34:20 | on the Saracens’ brigade, and it did not dare sally forth 08Ghev1    34:21 | of them became certain of ( its eventual) success, and pursued the 08Ghev1    34:25 | Smbat, Ashot’s son, into believing it 08Ghev1    34:29 | They besieged it with walls and throughout the 08Ghev1    34:29 | entire winter they battled against it. They erected towers and punched 08Ghev1    34:33 | slaughtered a lion as though it were a goat’s kid 08Ghev1    34:35 | If it pleases you, accept my advice 08Ghev1    34:37 | Quite the contrary, they regarded it as treasonous since they were 08Ghev1    34:38 | districts looking for food, took it, and returned to their keeps 08Ghev1    34:42 | land of the Armenians, reaching it via the Syrian areas 08Ghev1    34:47 | village of Arch’e’sh to destroy it to its foundations and to 08Ghev1    34:47 | Arch’e’sh to destroy it to its foundations and to kill the 08Ghev1    34:47 | to kill the soldiers in it 08Ghev1    34:56 | the river which flows through it.

It was only in his heart 08Ghev1    41:4 | that they could not endure it. For even if they gave 08Ghev1    41:4 | gave all that they possessed, it was not enough to save 08Ghev1    41:6 | onerous level of taxation, but it was of no avail.

There living a virtuous 09Draskh1    23:7 | the patriarchal throne, and occupying it for only three years, died 09Draskh1    23:10 | arable lands were irrigated by its waters 09Draskh1    23:11 | wither and waste away, and it was reduced to a state 09Draskh1    23:14 | blessing the site and striking it with the staff that was 09Draskh1    23:21 | It is narrated that he was 09Draskh1    24:3 | It was then that he noticed 09Draskh1    24:15 | It happened as he had predicted 09Draskh1    24:18 | perchance available, you will find it adequately treated by our predecessor 09Draskh1    24:28 | And it was thus that (the katholikosate 09Draskh1    25:2 | his wife’s prerogatives, and occupied it as his own select portion 09Draskh1    25:4 | the following message): “Why is it that for filthy lucre’s sake 09Draskh1    25:11 | holy patriarchate, where he had it buried in a grave near 09Draskh1    26:20 | their orders, as he deemed it better to die with Christ 09Draskh1    26:21 | who asked he answered that it was impossible for him to 09Draskh1    27:1 | Henceforth, if it should please you, when narrating 09Draskh1    27:2 | For it does not seem expedient to 09Draskh1    28:5 | obediently and wisely and through it he brought all of his 09Draskh1    30:6 | in a coffin and brought it to the town (awan) of 09Draskh1    30:7 | region of Gugark’ to subordinate its people, and could not get 09Draskh1    30:11 | unwarranted and unaccountable, and that it might be a cause for 09Draskh1    30:17 | solemn contract accordingly, he handed it over to the great patriarch 09Draskh1    30:24 | of Atrpatakan and along with it he was given robes wrought 09Draskh1    30:29 | charges against the katholikos, that it would be better for you 09Draskh1    30:38 | the anathema pronounced on me it was entirely just and deserved 09Draskh1    30:40 | not see this done; for it is impossible to identify a 09Draskh1    30:40 | to identify a transgression, as ( it is impossible to trace) the 09Draskh1    30:41 | of such a misdeed, should it occur 09Draskh1    30:49 | could turn me away be it by fear of Hades or 09Draskh1    30:50 | laws inscribed by God, wherein it is written, that those things 09Draskh1    30:51 | so much that they stole it from us, and having changed 09Draskh1    30:51 | the words, they allegorically set it forth as their own. Certainly 09Draskh1    30:54 | the chosen of God. Is it for this reason, that the 09Draskh1    30:55 | Do not make trouble, as it is hard for you to 09Draskh1    30:56 | there be a meeting, let it not be the assembly of 09Draskh1    30:56 | of the Lord, but let it be like that congregation which 09Draskh1    30:61 | do not be afraid, for it is not new that the 09Draskh1    30:61 | blessed, and scheme to rebut it through the knavery of the 09Draskh1    30:62 | the edge of the sword. It was the zeal of the 09Draskh1    30:63 | It was the violent passion of 09Draskh1    30:64 | It was the rage of Judas 09Draskh1    31:6 | anger for no reason? If it is because of the alliance 09Draskh1    32:2 | It also demolished and destroyed the 09Draskh1    32:5 | As it was not possible to bury 09Draskh1    32:17 | Consequently, (you should not consider) it tragic, if death, to which 09Draskh1    32:22 | the people having heard of it through hearsay consoled themselves greatly 09Draskh1    32:23 | spoke to one another thus: “ It was just that Christians confounded 09Draskh1    33:22 | fulfill the amount demanded, handed it over to the ostikan to 09Draskh1    33:24 | of the reasonable sheep return, it was filled with great joy 09Draskh1    34:8 | was displeased with this, since it was contrary to his will 09Draskh1    34:15 | Hoghs on the pretext that it would be advantageous for them 09Draskh1    34:21 | and have the porters pick it up and turn on their 09Draskh1    34:21 | troops noticed this, they considered it true and all did the 09Draskh1    36:1 | brought his body and buried it in the cemetery of Dzoroy 09Draskh1    37:1 | his mind had turned to its former aberration, he put his 09Draskh1    37:13 | the Sewordik’, whose name owes its origin to their ancestor named 09Draskh1    37:20 | like a beast released from its cage. Greatly enraged at Smbat 09Draskh1    37:25 | the vanquisher, and “whose will it is that all men should 09Draskh1    38:14 | receiving the fortress, I handed it over to the prince. Subsequently 09Draskh1    39:9 | the Axurean River, and decorating it with many valuable vessels, he 09Draskh1    39:10 | tried very hard to bring it to completion with God’s will 09Draskh1    40:7 | message, and being happy with it, Smbat responded to the secretary’s 09Draskh1    42:1 | the court and having cast it off to be trampled in 09Draskh1    42:5 | an ancient python returning to its secure lair, he reverted to 09Draskh1    43:13 | would spread in whatever direction it might find combustible material, and 09Draskh1    45:11 | people of Ashkenaz, as if it were night. Putting our laborious 09Draskh1    45:15 | view of these events, that it is incapable of helping me 09Draskh1    46:7 | the sparapet Ashot, who sent it to be buried in the 09Draskh1    46:9 | with tears and lamentations. For it was because of our sins 09Draskh1    46:10 | manner certain azats, about whom it is not proper for me 09Draskh1    46:14 | Yusuf’s) wickedness was stripped of its outward pretexts. Some of the 09Draskh1    46:19 | grief-bearing ladies on whom it remained affixed in the likeness 09Draskh1    46:20 | and having devoured the multitudes, it caused tears to be shed 09Draskh1    47:8 | land of Sisakan, and beyond its borders to Tashirk’ and Kangark’ 09Draskh1    47:9 | order to besiege and seize it. The latter came to the 09Draskh1    47:9 | and for several days attacked it, but could not do any 09Draskh1    47:9 | not do any harm to it 09Draskh1    48:4 | Be that as it may, king Smbat had taken 09Draskh1    48:6 | the cunning prince’s entreaties, because it was in a state of 09Draskh1    48:18 | able to get hold of it. Secretly devising wicked snares, he 09Draskh1    49:3 | to eradicate, destroy and devastate it, for the pious princesses, the 09Draskh1    49:9 | king his towel and forcing it into his mouth, pushed it 09Draskh1    49:9 | it into his mouth, pushed it down his throat by means 09Draskh1    49:15 | Be that as it may, let us leave these 09Draskh1    50:0 | the Fortress of Ernjak and Its Conquest: the Valor of Ashot 09Draskh1    50:6 | It was then, that the great 09Draskh1    51:19 | fastened in holes, so that it was impossible for them either 09Draskh1    52:6 | prophesy of Isaiah came to its fulfilment: “Your country is desolate 09Draskh1    52:6 | your land in your presence; it is made desolate, and overthrown 09Draskh1    52:9 | we witnessed; on the contrary it was the exact opposite. For 09Draskh1    52:14 | other prophesy also came to its fulfilment: “Man shall fall upon 09Draskh1    53:6 | pleasant and beneficial, whereas now it is useless, and tempestuous, and 09Draskh1    53:8 | we stored anything at all, it was given to others 09Draskh1    53:21 | them ate the wheat before it was crushed and kneaded, while 09Draskh1    53:22 | If they found any food, it was through labor, and the 09Draskh1    53:32 | rapacious beasts became accustomed to it and the numbers of the 09Draskh1    53:32 | about our sins also spread its mist over the innocent, and 09Draskh1    54:3 | of the wicked, we deplore it with deep personal grief, and 09Draskh1    54:5 | Now, if it seems proper to your Holiness 09Draskh1    54:5 | your Holiness, first of all, it is necessary to call upon 09Draskh1    54:6 | welfare, and never again tolerate its loss. Take upon yourself the 09Draskh1    54:10 | holy men, and see to it that they attend to the 09Draskh1    54:14 | And as it befits your Holiness, you may 09Draskh1    54:16 | read this, and having embraced it with the love of Christ 09Draskh1    54:33 | afflictions that came upon us. It is about us who are 09Draskh1    54:37 | against us with all of its might, and like an adulterer 09Draskh1    54:37 | an adulterer with dissolute passion, it dared to fall upon the 09Draskh1    54:37 | and annihilation, and grinding with its teeth, devour the new Israel 09Draskh1    54:45 | sword that slaughters multitudes. For it brought death to all through 09Draskh1    54:45 | brought death to all through its insidious breath; for some it 09Draskh1    54:45 | its insidious breath; for some it lay snares in secret by 09Draskh1    54:45 | destructive and deadly drugs, and it consumed the rest with blazing 09Draskh1    54:55 | which I willingly confronted, make it necessary for me to boast 09Draskh1    54:65 | It is for this very reason 09Draskh1    55:10 | It was for this reason that 09Draskh1    55:23 | Be that as it may, as long as the 09Draskh1    56:5 | It was at this time, that 09Draskh1    57:14 | It was at that time, that 09Draskh1    58:8 | Be that as it may, king Ashot, the son 09Draskh1    59:11 | Ashot honored them greatly, as it was befitting for kings, and 09Draskh1    59:17 | Be that as it may, Vasak, the hereditary lord 09Draskh1    59:18 | from the king and handed it over to Vasak. Subsequently, the 09Draskh1    60:4 | Be that as it may, the splendid and the 09Draskh1    60:8 | did not wish to surrender it 09Draskh1    60:14 | they agreed to pay for it twice as much as the 09Draskh1    60:17 | set his own garrison in it 09Draskh1    60:18 | of his realm. And as it was near the time of 09Draskh1    60:18 | with scythes, and had given it to the raging fire, lest 09Draskh1    60:23 | of the envoy, he considered it perhaps not worthy of an 09Draskh1    60:28 | On the other hand, if it was the prince who refused 09Draskh1    62:4 | fortress, asked Vasak to turn it over to him 09Draskh1    62:5 | the fortress refused to hand it over until he had restored 09Draskh1    63:9 | family in the security of its fastness, so that unoccupied (with 09Draskh1    63:21 | It seems to me that he 09Draskh1    63:21 | his arrogant will (on people). It was perhaps for this reason 09Draskh1    64:1 | if possible, so far as it lies (with you), live at 09Draskh1    64:13 | of his coming, he anticipated it by forcing all the people 09Draskh1    64:16 | like a serpent that releases its venom, he sent envoys to 09Draskh1    64:18 | the whole country deserted by its inhabitants 09Draskh1    65:2 | he considered himself deprived because it was ruled by his brother 09Draskh1    65:13 | of the night disappeared, and it was dawn, suddenly, at the 09Draskh1    65:14 | the phenomenon, (and realizing) that it was not the time for 09Draskh1    65:20 | aware of this idea considered it to be the proper course 09Draskh1    66:2 | It is not fitting for you 09Draskh1    66:18 | and the day came to its end 09Draskh1    66:19 | On the following morning, when it was still dark, all the 09Draskh1    66:21 | this temporary life, as if it were eternal. Subsequently, the Lord 09Draskh1    66:28 | inheritance and people, and called it His Body and His Part 09Draskh1    66:55 | out to come to us. It was he who narrated to 09Draskh1    66:63 | hearts to go to heaven: “ It is not lawful for us 09Draskh1    67:4 | and had been stripped of its population because of the looting 09Draskh1    67:13 | tried to take vengeance for it by marching directly upon the 09Draskh1    67:13 | an unexpected attack, and damage it somehow 09Draskh1    67:18 | the patriarchal residence together with its villages and estates (gerdastan) had 09Draskh1    67:20 | that he would see to it, to the best of his 09Draskh1    67:21 | But, be that as it may, at this time, the 09Draskh1    67:27 | fortress had been evacuated by its inhabitants, he seized it and 09Draskh1    67:27 | by its inhabitants, he seized it and took possession of it 09Draskh1    67:27 | it and took possession of it without any difficulty; he also 09Draskh1    67:27 | villages, awans, and agaraks in its vicinity 09Draskh1    68:10 | let the diabolical storm with its sparkling flashes of sulphur whirl 09Draskh1    68:13 | like the salt that lost its taste. But remain perfectly safe 09Draskh1    68:14 | you lest by confiding in it you might become negligent of 09Draskh1    68:14 | and knowledge, what good will it do to the sons as 09Draskh1    68:17 | not considering yourselves worthy of it 10Tovma1    1:0 | It is (only) with great effort 10Tovma1    1:5 | to Sem’s lot, Nebrot’ seized it for himself by force and 10Tovma1    1:6 | why do they say that it was a long time later 10Tovma1    1:7 | It seems to me that it 10Tovma1    1:7 | It seems to me that it is not appropriate cursorily to 10Tovma1    1:7 | enquiry. (Rather we should) expound it in toto and write down 10Tovma1    1:11 | through his wife Shamiram, since it was not the custom for 10Tovma1    1:13 | as I mentioned above. For it was not the custom to 10Tovma1    1:17 | Sem and built Babylon in its place, when Ninos became king 10Tovma1    1:23 | in the East men inhabited it, rather than speaking of a 10Tovma1    1:23 | a western paradise or of it somewhere in between. Its unlimited 10Tovma1    1:23 | of it somewhere in between. Its unlimited size is indicated by 10Tovma1    1:23 | into the visible world from its invisible (bed) as four mighty 10Tovma1    1:24 | Its surpassing beauty what human mouth 10Tovma1    1:24 | or the delightful sight of its divinely planted trees? With inconceivable 10Tovma1    1:24 | man with sovereign authority (over it) and gave him paradise to 10Tovma1    1:24 | were as but a day. It had no need of a 10Tovma1    1:24 | foreign source of light whereby it might become dark on the 10Tovma1    1:25 | any deficiencies of the incorruptible; it was but a very little 10Tovma1    1:25 | for (Scripture) saying: “to till it and keep it,” this was 10Tovma1    1:25 | to till it and keep it,” this was not as if 10Tovma1    1:25 | of paradise or to guard it from harm, but rather it 10Tovma1    1:25 | it from harm, but rather it means to work righteousness and 10Tovma1    1:26 | camp of the murderer. So it is now appropriate to call 10Tovma1    1:31 | land (of Eden) and exchanged it for this laborious and painful 10Tovma1    1:34 | for righteous judgment, then likewise it will be accompanied by mercy 10Tovma1    1:34 | evolve into harm, or will it seem of a single kind 10Tovma1    1:34 | sacrifice) but do not divide it aright, you have sinned 10Tovma1    1:38 | Fourthly, because ( it was) a brother and not 10Tovma1    1:45 | all the saints received as it were a paternal inheritance, like 10Tovma1    1:52 | multifarious crimes they worked on it 10Tovma1    1:54 | for all flesh had corrupted its path on earth, no longer 10Tovma1    1:60 | spiritual prophecy. After the flood it was commanded: eat meat, like 10Tovma1    1:66 | in building the ark, if it is most appropriate to say 10Tovma1    1:66 | fear his commands—why should it seem unbelievable that they too 10Tovma1    1:70 | the middle of the earth; it came to rest on the 10Tovma1    1:71 | the rainbow. Some say that it is fire emerging from cloud 10Tovma1    1:71 | who worship the elements (say it is) the belt of Aramazd 10Tovma1    1:72 | orders to Aramazd, how is it that Aramazd is deprived of 10Tovma1    1:72 | no further on their fables. It is not fire emerging from 10Tovma1    1:72 | fire emerging from cloud, otherwise it would have to be visible 10Tovma1    1:72 | at night. But in reality, it is rays of the sun 10Tovma1    1:72 | and compact moist clouds. Since it did not occur in the 10Tovma1    1:72 | not occur in the beginning, it is said to have come 10Tovma1    1:75 | a double name. Ham seized it from the sons of Sem 10Tovma1    1:75 | the sons of Sem, and it was built up as a 10Tovma1    1:76 | was given) Asorestan with all its extent as far as the 10Tovma1    2:3 | his earlier deeds and placed it in a bronze vessel fastened 10Tovma1    2:8 | in days to come. So it is (now) the appropriate time 10Tovma1    2:10 | up his image, to worship it as god and offer it 10Tovma1    2:10 | it as god and offer it sacrifices. This was the origin 10Tovma1    2:12 | to the cult of demons. It is appropriate to liken them 10Tovma1    3:14 | Seeing a bull, he stole it and led it aside. He 10Tovma1    3:14 | he stole it and led it aside. He sacrificed it, piling 10Tovma1    3:14 | led it aside. He sacrificed it, piling up stones over it 10Tovma1    3:14 | it, piling up stones over it, and waited for evening in 10Tovma1    3:15 | himself with food but found it bad and spoiled; for lizards 10Tovma1    3:16 | nonsense he also legislated. And it was not for frivolous reasons 10Tovma1    3:17 | and gave a part (of it) to mankind. And earth is 10Tovma1    3:17 | host to the god Spandaramet; it was not created by anyone 10Tovma1    3:17 | created by anyone, but as it now appears, so it (always 10Tovma1    3:17 | as it now appears, so it ( always) was and remains; and 10Tovma1    3:20 | summit of the mountain, as it is close to the heavens 10Tovma1    3:21 | appearance; and in the daytime ( it is covered with) a very 10Tovma1    3:21 | Of this they said that it was the foreign unknown land 10Tovma1    3:22 | about Origen’s view. Nor is it distant, as some suppose who 10Tovma1    3:23 | the drops of dew (on it) had an incomparable sweetness 10Tovma1    3:30 | had spoken through the birds.” It is most appropriate in this 10Tovma1    3:33 | from god, granted part of it to mankind, and kept most 10Tovma1    3:33 | mankind, and kept most of it for himself. And they say 10Tovma1    3:34 | sun, which is Hephaistos, saying it is part of a god 10Tovma1    3:34 | of a god, how is it that the thief and weak 10Tovma1    3:34 | a god? For sparks of it are produced by striking stone 10Tovma1    3:35 | the substance of fire beside it, from the burning ray of 10Tovma1    3:37 | the face of God. Hence it was necessary first that they 10Tovma1    3:38 | and other such (bodies). And it is clear that they are 10Tovma1    3:38 | and if by another, then it is someone who moves the 10Tovma1    3:39 | is one and the same, it is clear that it is 10Tovma1    3:39 | same, it is clear that it is moved by a single 10Tovma1    3:39 | not by many. For if it was moved by many, its 10Tovma1    3:39 | it was moved by many, its movement would be varied and 10Tovma1    3:39 | the heaven is eternally moving, it is clear that he who 10Tovma1    3:39 | clear that he who moves it has limitless power. For if 10Tovma1    3:40 | Whence it is clear that he is 10Tovma1    3:40 | continuously and regularly. From this it is clear that he is 10Tovma1    3:41 | So, then it is clear according to this 10Tovma1    4:1 | we carefully set out above. Its founder was Zamesos, also (called 10Tovma1    4:2 | all eastern Persia and subjected it to tax, (ruling) with peaceful 10Tovma1    4:5 | Armenia in war she subjected it; and on her return she 10Tovma1    4:35 | It lasted for [259] years; but according 10Tovma1    4:36 | from the earlier kings found it appropriate, as a period of 10Tovma1    4:40 | Jerusalem in order to blockade it. By God’s command his army 10Tovma1    5:3 | of Nineveh and Tmorik’ with its fortress 10Tovma1    5:5 | horse, knocking him back onto its croup. Tigran with swift hand 10Tovma1    5:12 | as a gift Tmorik’ with its fortress and the river banks 10Tovma1    6:2 | but we considered it sufficient merely to set down 10Tovma1    6:28 | he did not dare reveal it to Alexander. For Alexander had 10Tovma1    6:30 | they lived ignoble lives, as it were illegitimately, down to Cyrus 10Tovma1    6:35 | philosophically minded, nonetheless, for me it is more pleasing to place 10Tovma1    6:38 | with accuracy. Then they placed it carefully in the archival treasure 10Tovma1    6:41 | which I shall write in its own chronological place. For now 10Tovma1    6:44 | the Bagratunik’ and the Artsrunik’. It took place in the eighteenth 10Tovma1    6:46 | So it is a great pleasure for 10Tovma1    6:50 | descended from Senek’erim, which as its noble families increased and multiplied 10Tovma1    6:52 | in detail yet briefly, for it is not the occasion for 10Tovma1    6:56 | the torments of Christ. And it was the sixteenth year of 10Tovma1    6:60 | Claudius, in order to distribute it to orphans and widows as 10Tovma1    7:11 | foot of a small hill. It was near the edge of 10Tovma1    7:12 | called for the reason that it contains many treasures in its 10Tovma1    7:12 | it contains many treasures in its jagged heights, its narrow defiles 10Tovma1    7:12 | treasures in its jagged heights, its narrow defiles, in the safe 10Tovma1    8:1 | of Artashēs was flourishing in its systematic orderliness and prosperous administration 10Tovma1    8:2 | As it pleased him, he built a 10Tovma1    8:2 | they jumped in and out; it looked across to the great 10Tovma1    8:2 | great mountain called Masik’ with its lofty summit covered in snow 10Tovma1    8:5 | around the rock so that it was secure and inaccessible to 10Tovma1    8:5 | inaccessible to attackers. He set it out with delightful precision, bringing 10Tovma1    8:6 | hollow centre; on top of it he set the image of 10Tovma1    8:6 | cult of the idols. In it ( the city) he arranged bustling 10Tovma1    8:15 | principality, to cultivate and inhabit it, and pass on the land 10Tovma1    9:5 | But we considered it merely sufficient to present the 10Tovma1    10:9 | there should be occasion for it anywhere. He governed according to 10Tovma1    10:15 | great priest Daniel, so was it meted out to him. He 10Tovma1    10:20 | And I did not consider it important to write down what 10Tovma1    10:21 | in these deep forests. If it pleases you, let us go 10Tovma1    10:22 | his wide-arced bow to its fullest extent, Shavasp Artsruni shot 10Tovma1    10:22 | motion of his powerful fingers. It pierced the malicious one’s heart 10Tovma1    10:28 | each other. But I consider it superfluous to repeat the accounts 10Tovma1    10:34 | in her bosom and brought it to rest in the martyrium 10Tovma1    10:34 | Saint Nersēs. Then they transferred it to the place which is 10Tovma1    10:48 | a circular spit (-iron) until it was red-hot, he set 10Tovma1    10:48 | was red-hot, he set it on the head of the 10Tovma1    11:2 | all forms of vice which it is not pleasing to repeat 10Tovma1    11:3 | precede the cortège, and laid it to rest in the place 10Tovma1    11:11 | the region of Mesopotamia, thinking it better to submit to a 10Tovma1    11:13 | own line and religion. Let it not seem hard for you 10Tovma1    11:19 | Artashir the Persian, thinking that it was (inspired) by the great 10Tovma1    11:25 | garrison of troops to guard ( it) and resist Persian attacks 10Tovma1    11:26 | rule over the whole of it 10Tovma1    11:43 | the king (to appoint) whomever it might please him. So he 10Tovma1    11:44 | plunged into confusion and turbulence; it remained disunited and full of 10Tovma1    11:45 | It happened that on Saint Sahak’s 10Tovma1    11:49 | from the house of Armenia. It had lasted [415] years before being 10Tovma1    11:51 | called popularly Zṙłayl because of its fantastic solidity 10Tovma1    11:56 | and great general of Armenia. It is reliably confirmed by the 10Tovma2    1:12 | all the rest. I consider it superfluous to repeat what has 10Tovma2    2:8 | that the teacher had composed it in that fashion. Elsewhere I 10Tovma2    2:14 | why did you not think it necessary to summon anyone from 10Tovma2    2:16 | danger befell them to endure it just as they had endured 10Tovma2    2:16 | took the letter and laid it before the emperor. Then he 10Tovma2    2:21 | It happened in those times that 10Tovma2    2:22 | multitude of their forces. God it is who crushes warriors; battle 10Tovma2    2:24 | Persian army. The latter thought it all a joke 10Tovma2    3:8 | But now let it please you to abandon these 10Tovma2    3:9 | of the Aryan kingdom that it will be too much for 10Tovma2    3:9 | But having received and read it, they did not respond to 10Tovma2    3:11 | from God and he gives it to whomever he wishes. But 10Tovma2    3:16 | It happened in the fourteenth year 10Tovma2    3:18 | from his enemy, so may it please you to make peace 10Tovma2    3:20 | Persian army in Palestine and its general named Ṙazmayuzan, also called 10Tovma2    3:20 | peace with Jerusalem. For they ( its inhabitants) had previously been subject 10Tovma2    3:21 | camped around Jerusalem and besieged it. For nineteen days he attacked 10Tovma2    3:21 | the wall by digging under its foundation 10Tovma2    3:22 | It was on the nineteenth day 10Tovma2    3:22 | For three days they put it to the sword, killing every 10Tovma2    3:24 | show them the place where it had been hidden. They took 10Tovma2    3:24 | had been hidden. They took it off into captivity and also 10Tovma2    3:25 | survivors in the city and its environs, a command was issued 10Tovma2    3:30 | Let him not try, because it has been established by God 10Tovma2    3:30 | been established by God and it is impossible to destroy it 10Tovma2    3:30 | it is impossible to destroy it. But if it so pleases 10Tovma2    3:30 | to destroy it. But if it so pleases God, God’s will 10Tovma2    3:31 | or not, God has taken it from us and delivered it 10Tovma2    3:31 | it from us and delivered it into your hands. If he 10Tovma2    3:42 | received the letter he ordered it to be read before the 10Tovma2    3:44 | Shirak. Reaching Dvin he sacked it, and also Nakhchavan and Ormi 10Tovma2    3:44 | Gandzak in Atrpatakan, he destroyed it; he plundered Hamadan and May 10Tovma2    3:47 | sun will strip you of its light and clothe you in 10Tovma2    3:47 | with terrible thundering will cast its lightning upon you; a rumbling 10Tovma2    3:48 | your sons and daughters, intending its flames for vengeance 10Tovma2    3:57 | King Khosrov knowing anything about it. Then they made his son 10Tovma2    3:67 | the cross; when I find it I shall have it brought 10Tovma2    3:67 | find it I shall have it brought to you 10Tovma2    3:69 | received God. He searched for it with great diligence until they 10Tovma2    3:69 | they were able to find it in its original wrapping, and 10Tovma2    3:69 | able to find it in its original wrapping, and he gave 10Tovma2    3:69 | original wrapping, and he gave it to the men who had 10Tovma2    3:69 | for that purpose). On receiving it they immediately departed. Heraclius gave 10Tovma2    3:70 | and heavenly treasure, and brought it to the holy city of 10Tovma2    3:72 | the holy cross back in its place on holy Golgotha. Distributing 10Tovma2    4:1 | Heraclius the Persian kingdom reached its end. And at that time 10Tovma2    4:2 | destroyed on leaving Egypt in its war with Bałak, king of 10Tovma2    4:2 | of Madiam and dwelt in it 10Tovma2    4:5 | It happened that one of them 10Tovma2    4:8 | all the other things which it is not necessary to mention 10Tovma2    4:9 | It happened one day when he 10Tovma2    4:11 | by you? If you repeat it again you will be condemning 10Tovma2    4:14 | So, one could say that it was by a command of 10Tovma2    4:17 | Abraham and his seed, and it was in their possession for 10Tovma2    4:17 | their wicked deeds and gave it into your hands, let the 10Tovma2    4:17 | the period you have held it suffice for you. Now we 10Tovma2    4:17 | peacefully, otherwise we shall take it by war—and not only 10Tovma2    4:18 | He (Theodore) wished to show it to the king, but Heraclius 10Tovma2    4:25 | a composite book, some of it from accurate memory, other parts 10Tovma2    4:28 | It is too long to repeat 10Tovma2    4:28 | down for his nation, calling it the Quran 10Tovma2    4:33 | race of Sasan was ended; it had lasted for [542] years 10Tovma2    4:40 | of the Lord’s cross wherever it was set up. For the 10Tovma2    4:56 | by others, so we considered it superfluous to repeat them. Furthermore 10Tovma2    6:3 | army drawn up and compared it with the paucity of his 10Tovma2    6:13 | the elite cavalry and broke its right wing, turning it round 10Tovma2    6:13 | broke its right wing, turning it round on the left. The 10Tovma2    6:15 | the city and fortress, until its mistress came out on foot 10Tovma2    6:18 | description surpasses our (ability), yet it is not appropriate to disregard 10Tovma2    6:23 | he disdained the message, deeming it unworthy of a response, and 10Tovma2    6:31 | tearful sighing, moaning and imploring: “ It is Ashot who has wrought 10Tovma2    6:36 | of their ancestral dwellings. 36 For it is written: “A just king 10Tovma2    6:40 | account, I shall indicate in its place. And the saying of 10Tovma2    6:43 | soldiers and generals, he entrusted it to a certain Yovsep’, son 10Tovma2    6:49 | It is the duty of kings 10Tovma2    6:50 | Such is our concern and ( it is) for you to desire 10Tovma2    6:53 | the city and encamped in its fortress. Then he sent messengers 10Tovma2    7:2 | blows, heating the ground with its warming strength and awakening to 10Tovma2    7:5 | against the city and besieged it. They slaughtered the (emir’s) troops 10Tovma2    7:7 | I learned the truth about it. Then the sad news was 10Tovma2    7:9 | carry anywhere; you would think it a mere echo from the 10Tovma3    1:4 | of the limbs is lost, it is an accidental deprivation but 10Tovma3    1:13 | of the gate is that it is opened invisibly—the gate 10Tovma3    1:14 | is the power easy, as it is written: “He will shut 10Tovma3    1:19 | for your own habitation, and it will be your land as 10Tovma3    1:21 | troops; they searched and found it 10Tovma3    1:30 | To him, it seems to me, applies the 10Tovma3    1:30 | if someone were to relate it to you 10Tovma3    2:6 | towns, and farms they made it a desert devoid of men 10Tovma3    2:18 | candlestick hide the shining of its light under a bushel, but 10Tovma3    2:18 | under a bushel, but let it be placed on the high 10Tovma3    2:18 | so that they may see ( it) and glorify the Heavenly Father 10Tovma3    2:20 | responses, we did not consider it right to set them in 10Tovma3    2:25 | Artamet; he had heard of it from a certain Persian from 10Tovma3    2:30 | and besieged the castle, making it an inescapable cage 10Tovma3    2:33 | castle in order to capture it 10Tovma3    2:36 | mixed finely (ground) sulphur with it and put this in the 10Tovma3    2:36 | the machines with fire beside it, ready to be thrown at 10Tovma3    2:37 | hairs “felt.” Placed in water, it soaks it up like a 10Tovma3    2:37 | Placed in water, it soaks it up like a sponge. Putting 10Tovma3    2:48 | and friends wherever they found it to exist 10Tovma3    2:55 | form of a letter. Confirming it with an oath, he note 10Tovma3    2:70 | of your own will, perhaps it will be of advantage for 10Tovma3    2:77 | heed to earthly greatness, for it is transitory; rather he sought 10Tovma3    4:9 | and at the time when it was taken, they had urged 10Tovma3    4:15 | host of the army saw it 10Tovma3    4:16 | To this, it seemed to me, refers the 10Tovma3    4:20 | bring him to him, be it by deceitful trickery and cunning 10Tovma3    4:21 | the village of T’uay, in its valley called Lake of Blood 10Tovma3    4:32 | When it was about the third hour 10Tovma3    4:32 | ruin called Smbat’s castle, for it had been destroyed in previous 10Tovma3    4:35 | the mountain would collapse from its foundations 10Tovma3    4:36 | be burning with fire. Or it was as if some thunderbolt 10Tovma3    4:39 | It happened that he (Gurgēn) raised 10Tovma3    4:39 | on him, and realised that it was a messenger of grievous 10Tovma3    4:41 | mass, a single man as it were, or a high rock 10Tovma3    4:59 | and whistling of the bowstrings it seemed as if fire was 10Tovma3    4:61 | part in the battle, for it was a spiritual battle and 10Tovma3    4:65 | Armenians took strength, and when it lessened they had a little 10Tovma3    5:1 | yet they could not hide it and keep it concealed 10Tovma3    5:1 | not hide it and keep it concealed 10Tovma3    5:2 | course of events in all its details 10Tovma3    5:11 | a letter taken to Gurgēn; it had been written by Bugha 10Tovma3    5:11 | and was full of gall. It was sealed with the caliph’s 10Tovma3    5:11 | the caliph’s ring as if it had come from the caliph 10Tovma3    5:23 | fire runs through reeds, so it happened to us 10Tovma3    6:3 | I am forced to set it out in order, briefly and 10Tovma3    6:3 | history of these events, for it is impossible to pass over 10Tovma3    6:5 | It happened one day of leisure 10Tovma3    6:11 | snake, indiscriminately scattering and spreading it out to the ruin and 10Tovma3    6:14 | the Lord may command, let it be 10Tovma3    6:18 | valour, and from your appearance it is obvious that there is 10Tovma3    6:21 | empire and of your leader it is written that the witness 10Tovma3    6:27 | kings, we did not reckon it appropriate to repeat them 10Tovma3    6:29 | He sent word that: “ It is not the custom for 10Tovma3    6:29 | for you. We shall do it ( no) more. Now, because I 10Tovma3    6:31 | in their hearts, yet because it had no roots it was 10Tovma3    6:31 | because it had no roots it was immediately dried up by 10Tovma3    6:31 | of a fiery furnace,” as it is written in Job 10Tovma3    6:33 | their confession in Christ. But it is impossible for the two 10Tovma3    6:33 | Saviour said and which in its place I shall be obliged 10Tovma3    6:41 | foot their promised gifts, saying: “ It is better to die for 10Tovma3    6:43 | It was appropriate for Bishop Yovhannēs 10Tovma3    6:44 | It was proper for Lord Grigor 10Tovma3    6:44 | deep, gloomy pit in bonds. It was very befitting for the 10Tovma3    6:46 | Grigor. For he thought that it would be easy to ensnare 10Tovma3    6:61 | for the saint’s body. Taking it away, they wrapped it and 10Tovma3    6:61 | Taking it away, they wrapped it and buried it in the 10Tovma3    6:61 | they wrapped it and buried it in the tomb. All Asorestan 10Tovma3    7:2 | the Elkesites also (claimed). But it seems to me that the 10Tovma3    7:2 | God placed in the church. It did indeed appear as a 10Tovma3    7:3 | to the worship of idols it was of no account, provided 10Tovma3    7:8 | course cannot be steered, and it may be shipwrecked by the 10Tovma3    7:9 | not fly with both wings, it cannot rise to the heights 10Tovma3    7:11 | For it is quite impossible that he 10Tovma3    7:17 | the tongue does not permit it to utter denial. For it 10Tovma3    7:17 | it to utter denial. For it is no one else who 10Tovma3    7:17 | the heart. So away with it 10Tovma3    7:21 | Since it is unbefitting that good and 10Tovma3    7:21 | or health with sickness, likewise it is not possible for the 10Tovma3    7:22 | For it is written: the word is 10Tovma3    8:1 | described the sea dragon and its natural habits, so also now 10Tovma3    8:1 | now I shall again recall it for the sake of the 10Tovma3    8:2 | mass of their heavy bodies it is with difficulty that they 10Tovma3    8:3 | And it happens that collapsing in narrow 10Tovma3    8:3 | hands of hunters. But when it moves, all the fish and 10Tovma3    8:3 | serpents with other creatures are its food 10Tovma3    8:4 | fades, the sun declines in its course, and the winter season 10Tovma3    8:6 | arrived, thrusting himself up as it were from the bottomless depths 10Tovma3    8:6 | gripped the whole country and its rulers; attacking them, he devoured 10Tovma3    8:7 | Just as, because of its tremendous strength, we have drawn 10Tovma3    8:14 | save his soul will lose it”; and: “Who lost his life 10Tovma3    8:14 | for my sake will find it.” And: “What will it profit 10Tovma3    8:14 | find it.” And: “What will it profit a man if he 10Tovma3    8:16 | saints had not succeeded—as it is written: “The man who 10Tovma3    8:23 | wretched soldier, worthless dog to its master.” Then the executioner smote 10Tovma3    9:2 | not cease from churning up its waves. He remembered what he 10Tovma3    9:5 | sparapet of Armenia, realised that it was no use disregarding his 10Tovma3    9:8 | I think it superfluous to expound in writing 10Tovma3    9:9 | were an iron statue as it were, only the eyes not 10Tovma3    9:14 | of the Muslim people. But it was to no avail. Bugha 10Tovma3    9:16 | I shall briefly demonstrate in its own place 10Tovma3    10:1 | any of the acts that it was his inclination to perform 10Tovma3    10:13 | higher fortresses than they, and it is easier to secure the 10Tovma3    10:13 | refuge in God’s help. If it happens that anyone is killed 10Tovma3    10:13 | happens that anyone is killed, it will be considered a glorious 10Tovma3    10:13 | martyr’s crown from Christ. For it will not be a death 10Tovma3    10:19 | a response in this fashion: “ It is customary for governors to 10Tovma3    10:19 | land) like brigands or ravage it with sword and captivity. If 10Tovma3    10:20 | So let it be clear that as long 10Tovma3    10:20 | men and select horses. If it pleases you to save yourself 10Tovma3    10:21 | blood, especially because I regard it as (an act of) great 10Tovma3    10:41 | the mountain almost collapsed from its foundations. He brought the army 10Tovma3    10:45 | formed a solid mass—as it were a single man 10Tovma3    10:54 | and go to Bugha. In it was written a pardon for 10Tovma3    11:1 | It happened that there passed that 10Tovma3    11:2 | It is usual in books to 10Tovma3    11:4 | He is worthy of death; it is not right for him 10Tovma3    11:10 | put on the top of it and suspended in a very 10Tovma3    11:10 | with a sword and set it back up again in the 10Tovma3    11:14 | They said to the tyrant: “ It is better for us to 10Tovma3    11:22 | a man called Yovnan. He it was who during Bugha’s attack 10Tovma3    11:28 | afraid of you? Far from it! Here stand I; do not 10Tovma3    11:31 | the country—he also brought it about that no one at 10Tovma3    11:38 | rule in the place of its princes 10Tovma3    13:3 | the Son of God, as it pleased Paul to say: “Those 10Tovma3    13:21 | thought, his wounded horse caught its foot in a small bush 10Tovma3    13:21 | say, and fell headlong, breaking its back and throwing its rider 10Tovma3    13:21 | breaking its back and throwing its rider, the valiant general Apumk’dēm 10Tovma3    13:24 | off his head, and brought it to their general Abraham. Taking 10Tovma3    13:38 | destroyed the Armenian army. But it was the Muslim troops who 10Tovma3    13:42 | a spirited horse that stamped its foot imperiously, ideal for riding 10Tovma3    13:46 | description of the man. For it is impossible to gather in 10Tovma3    13:50 | Vasak go in peace, treating it as a jest 10Tovma3    13:59 | the impurity and deceit of its oppressors, like Judas Maccabee purifying 10Tovma3    14:1 | Lord Zak’aria, Catholicos of Armenia. It was the beginning of the 10Tovma3    14:1 | in captivity in Babylon, as it is written in the prophecy 10Tovma3    14:29 | the confusions that had befallen it 10Tovma3    14:50 | wrote to Ashot, saying: “Does it not seem a fine idea 10Tovma3    15:7 | before us indicate, and which it seems to me superfluous to 10Tovma3    15:11 | Helen wrote to Gurgēn: “If it pleases you to marry (me 10Tovma3    15:16 | pacified the land and made it safe and secure from bandits 10Tovma3    15:22 | and renowned accomplishment he thought it would bring opprobrium on himself 10Tovma3    15:24 | the order, they directly carried it out 10Tovma3    16:12 | to his principality. He reckoned it inappropriate to establish such an 10Tovma3    17:7 | they plundered the camp with its baggage and the stores of 10Tovma3    18:1 | and one hundred years previously it had been forcibly removed from 10Tovma3    18:3 | Muslims. For they had seized it and subjected to taxation the 10Tovma3    18:5 | approached the stronghold to besiege it, Yisē of Amida, son of 10Tovma3    18:20 | But it is unclear whether they were 10Tovma3    19:7 | Armenia, intending to rule over it. When the Armenian princes came 10Tovma3    20:8 | of the whole country with its castles 10Tovma3    20:10 | the land by force, secured it for himself, and set his 10Tovma3    20:10 | set his own governors over it 10Tovma3    20:28 | treasure had been accumulated in it over many years, while he 10Tovma3    20:29 | unable to act openly, for it would have been unbecoming to 10Tovma3    20:37 | to us; and I reckoned it better not to write down 10Tovma3    20:38 | own trusted retainers to guard it. He also took from him 10Tovma3    20:44 | the town of Marakan. Here it does not seem pleasant to 10Tovma3    20:55 | in a valley-shaped plain, it favoured the murderous beast to 10Tovma3    20:66 | requested his corpse and delivered it to the bishop David of 10Tovma3    20:66 | the same province; they placed it in a coffin in the 10Tovma3    20:66 | took his corpse, and laid it to rest with his fathers 10Tovma3    20:71 | rock of Manazkert, which faces it on the southern side, and 10Tovma3    21:2 | as concerns things under heaven it is suitable and necessary to 10Tovma3    22:1 | of the earth and causing its thick, dense and immeasurable infinity 10Tovma3    22:1 | immeasurable infinity to heave, until it burst onto the surface of 10Tovma3    22:1 | of impurity, was overthrown from its foundations 10Tovma3    22:2 | Hell opened its mouth wide and swallowed into 10Tovma3    22:2 | mouth wide and swallowed into its depths very many people. For 10Tovma3    22:2 | became their tombs, just as it swallowed up the houses of 10Tovma3    22:3 | the Lord was shaken and its doorposts destroyed 10Tovma3    22:4 | as the Mount of Olives. It is said that the number 10Tovma3    22:6 | their own will and abandoned it. In the same year the 10Tovma3    22:6 | seized the land to subject it. Gurgēn the prince, son of 10Tovma3    22:9 | Ałbag and all Parskahayk’ around it as far as the beginning 10Tovma3    22:16 | on the land, they divided it into two portions 10Tovma3    22:19 | of his father’s murder, regarding it as the blood price 10Tovma3    22:26 | They reckoned it better to live in foreign 10Tovma3    23:1 | Tarōn for himself and withdrawn it from Armenian control 10Tovma3    23:2 | abandon that land and give it to over to Ashot, son 10Tovma3    23:11 | and finding his body by its insignia, took it to her 10Tovma3    23:11 | body by its insignia, took it to her town of Porp 10Tovma3    23:11 | town of Porp and buried it 10Tovma3    24:3 | off his head, they sent it to the garrison 10Tovma3    24:5 | took the body and placed it in a tomb in the 10Tovma3    25:0 | plotted evil against Armenia and its princes 10Tovma3    25:1 | a country more highly than its prosperity. Ceaselessly he moved around 10Tovma3    25:1 | the land of Vaspurakan and its leaders he gave the impression 10Tovma3    25:2 | own officials and to treat its ( inhabitants) in Persian fashion 10Tovma3    25:5 | the Muslim religion, induced by its bloodthirsty teaching. They spread their 10Tovma3    26:13 | not mock at my words, it seems not inappropriate or reprehensible 10Tovma3    27:6 | crushed into pieces, they brought it to the general and washed 10Tovma3    27:7 | each one’s position, and covered it with pure silver more splendidly 10Tovma3    28:6 | wished should be done. So it was openly, but the secret 10Tovma3    28:10 | of Berkri. These had taken it from the Ginuni family descended 10Tovma3    28:10 | of Vaspurakan. So he restored it to the people of Berkri 10Tovma3    29:8 | took his body and buried it in Ałbag in the village 10Tovma3    29:9 | It would be appropriate to extend 10Tovma3    29:13 | his leaving the country with its numerous provinces and impregnable fortresses 10Tovma3    29:28 | of God, Mary, and embellished it with very valuable vessels. In 10Tovma3    29:28 | with very valuable vessels. In it he also placed the cross 10Tovma3    29:29 | soldier Saint Gēorge. He adorned it with similar embellishment, with a 10Tovma3    29:30 | the Lord at Golgotha. Above it he constructed a church (dedicated 10Tovma3    29:34 | out of the rock, so it could run from the summit 10Tovma3    29:38 | only was he concerned with its prosperity but he was also 10Tovma3    29:40 | rood with pearls; he fitted it into sweet-smelling wood, leaving 10Tovma3    29:40 | the golden covering, and on its front (fitted) a square cross 10Tovma3    29:41 | mentioned above when we described its appearance [259] years previously in the 10Tovma3    29:42 | Gagik descended the mountain to its base, where dwelt monks who 10Tovma3    29:48 | which is most ridiculous. And it is plainly clear without doubt 10Tovma3    29:48 | and flesh of the Word, it would be even more ridiculous 10Tovma3    29:61 | It happened, after the great battle 10Tovma3    29:62 | human race plan to destroy it, but rather bring extermination upon 10Tovma3    29:65 | like a lion cub in its den. He wrote to the 10Tovma3    29:65 | crown: if in that battle it should happen that he be 10Tovma3    29:66 | swooping like an eagle on its prey, they encountered the numberless 10Tovma3    29:78 | land in order to destroy it completely 10Tovma3    29:79 | of Zhangan.

Now it is time for us to 12Last1    1:11 | peace. For in his day it was as the prophecy states 12Last1    1:16 | Good Thursday, and had given it to him (Dawit’) to drink 12Last1    2:1 | were illuminated. In his time, it was as the prophet predicted 12Last1    2:8 | Ani and the districts surrounding it, on account of (Smbat’s) seniority 12Last1    2:21 | villages and fields (agarakk’) around it and belonging to it be 12Last1    2:21 | around it and belonging to it be disfigured through fire, sword 12Last1    2:22 | ordered his troops to scorch its beautiful estates with fire, and 12Last1    2:22 | with fire, and to loot its goods, but not to injure 12Last1    2:27 | It was a pitiful scene there 12Last1    2:31 | It seems to me that these 12Last1    2:31 | make horse-shoes out of it.” This bitter lesson befell them 12Last1    2:35 | of this befell them, whether it was a fitting lesson for 12Last1    2:35 | the country’s inhabitants, or whether it resulted from the fierce behavior 12Last1    2:39 | But it was there that the destruction 12Last1    3:8 | Sebastia and the districts surrounding it. Now these events did not 12Last1    3:9 | to his servants and had it speedily taken to the emperor 12Last1    3:11 | the tyrant’s head, he ordered it raised aloft on a pole 12Last1    4:2 | regretted his action. They took it and left. Now (Zak’aria) went 12Last1    4:5 | they were out for looting. It was (then) just as it 12Last1    4:5 | It was (then) just as it had been in antiquity, in 12Last1    4:7 | over the district who divided ( it up) House by House, village 12Last1    4:7 | field by field, just as it had been before 12Last1    4:11 | It seems to me that this 12Last1    4:11 | the barbarians clearly realize that it was the hand of the 12Last1    4:16 | suddenly fell down. Everyone saw it and said that it presaged 12Last1    4:16 | saw it and said that it presaged the emperor’s death 12Last1    5:1 | of (his) tent and causing it to collapse (on him). They 12Last1    5:2 | men who were with him. It is very worthy of repentance 12Last1    5:2 | into such wicked deeds. For it was (Komianos) who had placed 12Last1    5:2 | the city of) Archesh with its estates under Byzantine control 12Last1    6:2 | Halp), to take and destroy it. He came upon the mountain 12Last1    6:6 | broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one, it 12Last1    6:6 | it falls on any one, it will crush him” [Matthew 21.44]. Consequently, the 12Last1    6:8 | of the Song of David: “ It is better to take refuge 12Last1    7:3 | came against the city, breached its wall and entered, causing great 12Last1    9:1 | who holds sway (having inherited it) from his fathers and grand 12Last1    9:5 | People who say this confirm it ( by the fact that) the 12Last1    9:6 | Arcrunik’ land had, together with its estates, long since been ravished 12Last1    9:6 | by the Persians, who controlled it.

Then (Xtrik) got 12Last1    9:10 | could occupy the stronghold and its estates. When (the Byzantines) heard 12Last1    9:11 | on that day, or that it presaged very great evils. Indeed 12Last1    9:14 | leave this matter here as it stands, and return to the 12Last1    9:16 | transpired. When they learned about it, they notified the Western army 12Last1    9:18 | had grown so large that it even breached the wall of 12Last1    9:19 | lost their own salvation. Indeed, it came to pass just as 12Last1    9:19 | the housetops which withers before it grows up, with which the 12Last1    10:1 | this is true, or whether it was as she herself had 12Last1    10:8 | Now it was not that this monarch 12Last1    10:8 | stop the source of impiety. It was just as the Savior 12Last1    10:19 | from On High to complete it. It is time now to 12Last1    10:19 | On High to complete it. It is time now to move 12Last1    10:21 | Take this document and give it to the king of Armenia 12Last1    10:21 | and let your son give it to his sons, for all 12Last1    10:22 | took that letter and kept it until the time of Michael’s 12Last1    10:22 | Michael’s reign, when he sold it to him for much treasure 12Last1    10:23 | and the land, as though it were his own inheritance. A 12Last1    10:23 | Shirak and the districts surrounding it, for he had gathered up 12Last1    10:27 | cannot continue my composition.

It is time to mingle our 12Last1    10:36 | we recalled a while earlier. It seems to me that this 12Last1    10:38 | labor, (this merchant) deprived of its fence and he destroyed its 12Last1    10:38 | its fence and he destroyed its towers, making of it a 12Last1    10:38 | destroyed its towers, making of it a place for passersby to 12Last1    10:38 | hog of the forest sullied it, and the wild boar grazed 12Last1    10:38 | the wild boar grazed in it” [Psalms 79.14], as the Davidic psalm states 12Last1    10:49 | in his hand, but broke it by striking it, causing the 12Last1    10:49 | but broke it by striking it, causing the chrism to plentifully 12Last1    10:50 | They remained (in confinement) until it was almost Easter.

I shall not continue 12Last1    12:9 | mother and first cause of it. For it turns a human 12Last1    12:9 | first cause of it. For it turns a human into a 12Last1    12:14 | holy temple (of Jerusalem), took its adornments as booty, and defiled 12Last1    12:14 | their filthy heels, and took its adornments as plunder 12Last1    12:16 | It is now time for me 12Last1    12:17 | flow like water, not as it was in the past, around 12Last1    12:17 | the mind cannot even imagine it 12Last1    12:18 | were visited upon our city?

So, passing it by, he came to the 12Last1    16:28 | withstand a siege). After observing it for many long hours, he 12Last1    16:28 | and for the animals, since it was harvest time 12Last1    16:35 | such information) on paper, attach it to the shaft of an 12Last1    16:36 | K’eriat’ valley, then why should it be surprising if He directed 12Last1    16:36 | city’s salvation by means of its adversaries 12Last1    16:38 | the catapult’s sling, and hurl it at the city, this presbyter 12Last1    16:39 | a very frightful thing, which, it was said, required four hundred 12Last1    16:39 | in the sling, and hurled it at the city. In front 12Last1    16:39 | the city. In front of it they set up a wall 12Last1    16:39 | presbyter’s rock would not touch it 12Last1    16:40 | violently struck the wall, caused it to crumble, and opened up 12Last1    16:42 | Sulphur and flammable oil, put it into a glass vessel, mounted 12Last1    16:43 | to the baban and around it, and then unexpectedly poured the 12Last1    16:46 | fall into unbearable difficulties. For it is God’s way to temporarily 12Last1    16:49 | were tossed into the furnace? It was then that (God) speedily 12Last1    16:50 | the fire in two and it burned those Chaldeans it encountered 12Last1    16:50 | and it burned those Chaldeans it encountered. But an angel sprinkled 12Last1    16:52 | a secure, impregnable fortress near it. The citizens, placing their hopes 12Last1    16:53 | waters—either because someone pointed it out to them, or because 12Last1    16:53 | or because they craftily discovered it themselves—and entered the city 12Last1    17:0 | while an impious one ruins it” [Proverbs 29.4]. Indeed, we saw the validity 12Last1    17:0 | the case (of Monomachus). For it is the responsibility of kings 12Last1    17:2 | without a protector, mercilessly destroy it. And so, it was in 12Last1    17:2 | mercilessly destroy it. And so, it was in (Monomachus’) time that 12Last1    17:8 | seized much booty and brought it to Taron 12Last1    17:12 | ice broke, and everyone on it fell in 12Last1    17:17 | and what (existed) in Byzantium. ( It once had) a patriarchate, great 12Last1    17:20 | labor for fifteen years? Today it is vacant, without an occupant 12Last1    17:22 | comely, fruitful and sanctified that it would have astonished a prophet 12Last1    17:22 | have astonished a prophet? Today it sits ingloriously, unadorned, stripped of 12Last1    17:22 | sitting unconsolably in tattered clothing. Its chandeliers and candles are extinguished 12Last1    17:24 | and those who are in it and over it; inform the 12Last1    17:24 | are in it and over it; inform the earth, and the 12Last1    17:24 | and the animals living on it; inform the mountains and hills 12Last1    17:25 | partake of our sorrows, as it was in times past, when 12Last1    18:6 | of Epiphany, the infidels approached it. Because of the severe frost 12Last1    18:6 | was lit up as though it were high noon. There (the 12Last1    18:7 | battling) as easily as though it were summertime. They put to 12Last1    18:15 | The land) became unadorned as it had been at the Creation 12Last1    18:15 | was no one to work it 12Last1    18:16 | It resembled the handsome face of 12Last1    18:16 | soul, depriving (the face) of its former glow and beauty, to 12Last1    18:16 | and beauty, to the beholders it seems ugly, unworthy of respect 12Last1    18:17 | was the country. For when it was still cultivated and full 12Last1    18:22 | north to south, now with its ferocious rolling boil spilled over 12Last1    18:23 | is destroyed,” so, truly, did it occur. Because as soon as 12Last1    18:24 | our deaths with voracious appetites. It was impossible for anyone they 12Last1    18:25 | with the dastakerts (“estates”) surrounding it. When (Iwane) learned that the 12Last1    18:25 | called Eghanc’ Berd. After taking it, he turned back to the 12Last1    18:27 | a while he attempted take it by deception, saying: “I have 12Last1    18:33 | of agitation was revealed that it even would have made the 12Last1    18:36 | the villages and fields surrounding it, besieged until there was no 12Last1    18:38 | and struck against that wall, it did not withstand even for 12Last1    18:38 | a moment, but quickly collapsed. Its collapse was heard throughout the 12Last1    18:39 | place of salvation and refuge, it became a pit of ruin 12Last1    18:49 | off to their own land. It is said that seven thousand 12Last1    19:0 | Now the second detachment raced its horses through Hanjet’ and Xorjean 12Last1    19:0 | left but heading straight for its target like the powerful thrust 12Last1    19:2 | The extreme suddenness of it, the unexpected anguish caused people 12Last1    19:5 | city on fire and burned it down, and then, taking booty 12Last1    21:0 | Paul wrote to the Hebrews: “ It is for discipline that you 12Last1    21:2 | entrails congealed in the ground. It was among us as it 12Last1    21:2 | It was among us as it was in the time of 12Last1    21:4 | eye itself died, nor in its lifetime shall it again see 12Last1    21:4 | nor in its lifetime shall it again see the goodness of 12Last1    21:4 | into our homes and churches— it terrifies me to say it 12Last1    21:4 | it terrifies me to say it— and polluted them not only 12Last1    21:9 | Now it took ten days, more or 12Last1    21:9 | now speaking, Melitene (Malatya), while it was still flourishing, it resembled 12Last1    21:9 | while it was still flourishing, it resembled a three-year-old 12Last1    21:9 | heifer in the strength of its vigor and bravery, like Moab 12Last1    21:9 | vigor and bravery, like Moab, it was tender and genteel. Its 12Last1    21:9 | it was tender and genteel. Its merchants were the glorious men 12Last1    21:9 | men of the country, while its shoppers were the kings of 12Last1    21:10 | as Moses condemned the Israelites: “ It waxed fat and grew thick 12Last1    21:10 | thick, and became sleek, then it forsook Lord God its Creator 12Last1    21:10 | then it forsook Lord God its Creator” [II Deuteronomy 32.15]. The Sodomites, similarly, led 12Last1    21:13 | soil? Yet we originated from it and return to it. However 12Last1    21:13 | from it and return to it. However, the creator of our 12Last1    21:13 | as is possible and when it is appropriate, He advises us 12Last1    21:15 | arose from Persia, but whether it was the same one that 12Last1    21:17 | headed for Melitene, and reached it at night. There was a 12Last1    21:18 | and ruining the city and its surrounding estates 12Last1    21:21 | five months of winter, from its inception until the month of 12Last1    21:22 | disgraced. Why should I record it? Do you see how unbearable 12Last1    21:24 | there. When the Persians reached it, they encamped, since they thought 12Last1    22:2 | the tree is judged by its fruit, as the Lord said 12Last1    22:2 | an angel of light, so it is not strange if his 12Last1    22:3 | and those who eat of it— thinking it to be ordinary 12Last1    22:3 | who eat of it—thinking it to be ordinary food—are 12Last1    22:6 | It is easy to beware of 12Last1    22:6 | which speaks a foreign language, it is easy for us to 12Last1    22:7 | they were not of us” [I John 2.19], it is not easy to recognize 12Last1    22:12 | enough about this matter. Now it is time to return to 12Last1    22:14 | of Hell shall not overcome it 12Last1    22:15 | to shear the Church of its glory, just as in ancient 12Last1    22:16 | the invincible Cross, erecting in it an altar of mystery, resembling 12Last1    22:18 | Yakobos) then added something to it: he ordered those worthy (priests 12Last1    22:19 | Now it is written in the canons 12Last1    22:20 | they would say: “Unfortunate beast, it is bad enough that he 12Last1    22:24 | the Davidic psalm which says, “ It is better to rely on 12Last1    22:29 | and the leopard cannot lose its spots, so too the evil 12Last1    22:30 | the matter and comprehended what it was. They refused (Yakobos’ request 12Last1    22:31 | It is said, however, that the 12Last1    23:0 | is the name given to its field). Being of an advanced 12Last1    23:5 | serving as cup-bearers, gave it to the folk living about 12Last1    23:5 | to drink themselves to ruin. It was about such people that 12Last1    23:6 | assembled ascetic brothers therein. Within its extensive confines he kept them 12Last1    23:7 | more forward than many when it came to charity for the 12Last1    23:11 | There is no cure for it until in death you reach 12Last1    23:15 | the Cross) in the villages. It was through the Cross that 12Last1    23:15 | created beings, took pride in its power, saying: “I boast of 12Last1    23:17 | divine symbol with hammers, smashed it and threw it to the 12Last1    23:17 | hammers, smashed it and threw it to the ground. Then they 12Last1    23:19 | that this (deed) was wrought it had suddenly begun to snow 12Last1    23:20 | dare to take anything from it 12Last1    23:25 | Upon receiving the news— it was as though everyone were 12Last1    23:25 | I am unable to record it. They went in a body 12Last1    23:26 | It so happened at that time 12Last1    23:28 | and exhortatory expressions, saying that it would be better to die 12Last1    23:29 | It was evening. The sun was 12Last1    23:29 | was setting, having dispersed of its rays, and giving boldness to 12Last1    23:33 | When day dawned, it was a Sunday. The judge 12Last1    23:34 | the cuttle-fish about which it is said that in order 12Last1    23:34 | order to escape the hunters, it changes colors. So was (Vrverh 12Last1    23:40 | being too foul, we regarded it as inappropriate to set it 12Last1    23:40 | it as inappropriate to set it down in writing, because everyone 12Last1    23:40 | everyone is not steadfast when it comes to the audible, and 12Last1    23:40 | same. Consequently, I have avoided it 12Last1    24:0 | impropriety, has sought refuge in its deeds. The powerful, tall giants 12Last1    24:2 | For it is the Lord who builds 12Last1    24:2 | Solomon’s adversary Eder, nor did it impede his attack, because the 12Last1    24:3 | to our former narration. Let it not be considered few or 12Last1    24:4 | because it is not that all upon 12Last1    24:15 | of the injustices committed within it, while all (other) structures were 12Last1    25:0 | task upon us nor demanded it of us. Nor are we 12Last1    25:1 | we. Perhaps someone may request it of them, and (perhaps) I 12Last1    25:1 | not a little, we regard it as necessary to dispense with 12Last1    25:4 | he arrogantly grew proud, thinking it impossible to be vanquished by 12Last1    25:6 | all who become affected by it, because the adversary of arrogance 12Last1    25:9 | strengthen the emperor and make it impossible for him to fight 12Last1    25:9 | him to fight. He considered it better to fight against two 12Last1    25:15 | sword and ability, and gave it to the enemy, because of 12Last1    25:18 | only the land’s destruction, not its salvation 12Last1    25:20 | battles he had waged. While it is true that the first 12Last1    25:20 | swords, and then he set it on fire, leaving it a 12Last1    25:20 | set it on fire, leaving it a desert. Because of such 12Last1    26:1 | I considered it important to remind our beloved 12Last1    26:2 | which faced earthward. For while it was fully lit, it was 12Last1    26:2 | while it was fully lit, it was in its mid-course 12Last1    26:2 | fully lit, it was in its mid-course, speedily headed toward 12Last1    26:3 | But that robe which it had donned, so thickly enveloped 12Last1    26:3 | had donned, so thickly enveloped it that it blocked those unbelievably 12Last1    26:3 | so thickly enveloped it that it blocked those unbelievably brilliant rays 12Last1    26:3 | eye could not gaze at it, then became weaker than the 12Last1    26:3 | the (distant) stars and merely its outline was visible 12Last1    26:4 | By its example (the comet) symbolized the 12Last1    26:7 | by step the prophecy of its eclipse became actualized, because afterwards 12Last1    26:17 | It is better to place ourselves 12Last1    26:17 | stand away from You, unschooled. It is better to approach You 12Last1    26:17 | tranquility and ease. To us it is important that Your blessed 12Last1    26:23 | have written in this book, it is not complete, but merely 12Last1    26:23 | know that the causes of it all were our sins; and
