04Yegh6    1:8|and the temples of martyrs are still undestroyed, and the holy
04Yegh6    1:9|host of willing victims who are mounting this holy altar
04Yegh6    1:16|indignity, abandoned their dominions, and are suffering grievously, and all our
04Yegh6    4:82|the Mazdaean religion, the gods are angered at such people, nor

04Yegh6    5:108|some of the prisoners who are in gaol
04Yegh6    5:110|do not realize what they are doing or what they are
04Yegh6    5:110|are doing or what they are saying, for their minds are

04Yegh6    6:150|heathen, who in their frenzy are more vicious than bees, for
04Yegh7    1:14|have kept the Christians, who are opposed to our religion, alive
04Yegh7    1:22|For these are the five doctrines which comprise
04Yegh7    2:31|chief-magus and note: “These are not ordinary men without great
04Yegh7    2:33|them, you know what you are doing. But on the other
04Yegh7    2:33|condemn them, then the prisoners are in terrible danger
04Yegh7    2:34|Furthermore, we are awestruck and very fearful when
04Yegh7    2:38|If they are not close to them, it
04Yegh7    2:39|about this sect that they are deranged in their great folly
04Yegh7    2:48|about the wonderful mansions that are reserved for us in readiness
04Yegh7    2:49|of our bodies. But we are not at all fatigued like

04Yegh7    3:60|the door and asked: “Who are you
04Yegh7    3:71|scornfully arrogant among many who are lost, through me be humbled
04Yegh7    4:86|this holy vision, and blessed are we for his approaching us
04Yegh7    4:86|he to whom such wonders are revealed has received a large
04Yegh7    4:87|Your gifts, Lord, are inexhaustible, and without being asked

04Yegh7    7:167|None of them asked: “Who are you among us?”—neither from
04Yegh7    8:176|your obstinacy that many nobles are now tortured in bonds
04Yegh7    8:178|to free the nobles who are imprisoned. The ruined country can
04Yegh7    8:180|regard for you foreigners who are guilty of treachery
04Yegh7    8:184|we were children, for we are grown up and not unversed
04Yegh7    8:187|Not only are we obliged to render them
04Yegh7    8:189|of matters in which you are a little more knowledgeable
04Yegh7    8:192|firm convictions by stealth. We are not alone as you suppose
04Yegh7    8:192|is not present. Only those are deprived of him who have
04Yegh7    8:197|them in response: “The gods are benevolent and deal patiently with

04Yegh7    9:223|crucified God, so you too are today in the same darkness
04Yegh7    9:224|We are ready to die following the
04Yegh7    10:236|For if you are of the same obstinate mind
04Yegh7    10:244|sickly body, even more so are we all. For there is
04Yegh7    10:245|you, who hate yourselves and are enemies to others

04Yegh7    11:254|because they are men. There are illnesses for which they find
04Yegh7    11:254|they find cures, and there are those which surpass their capacities
04Yegh7    11:254|surpass their capacities. For we are all mortal, both he who
04Yegh7    11:260|wish it or not you are diseased in your bodies with
04Yegh7    11:260|us for bodily pains which are not of our own free
04Yegh7    11:268|We are not at all fearful of
04Yegh7    11:268|the cruel death which you are about to inflict on us
04Yegh7    12:280|wish to slay men who are in your own image. You
04Yegh7    12:290|of all the heathen, who are more knowledgeable than you. For
04Yegh7    12:300|from carrying wood. Our eyes are bleary with tears from the
04Yegh7    12:300|its smoke, and our faces are sooty from the heavy dampness
04Yegh7    13:304|facts before you: our legislators are only blind in their minds
04Yegh7    13:317|now from his servants, you are crowned with Stephen
04Yegh7    13:319|confront the sword, for you are superior in rank to us
04Yegh7    13:323|all died in that spot are as follows
04Yegh7    14:341|say to one another: “What are we to do? How shall
04Yegh7    14:341|the Christians? For while they are alive, their lives are wonderful
04Yegh7    14:341|they are alive, their lives are wonderful; they scorn possessions as
04Yegh7    14:341|no need of them, they are pure as if disembodied, they
04Yegh7    14:341|pure as if disembodied, they are impartial like equitable judges, they
04Yegh7    14:341|impartial like equitable judges, they are fearless like immortals
04Yegh7    14:342|or brash men, still what are we to do, since all
04Yegh7    14:344|For our servants are not liars; we have been
04Yegh7    14:348|the two of you? Why are you so troubled and distressed
04Yegh7    14:350|If you are at all frightened in your
04Yegh8    1:5|the others and note: “What are your names
04Yegh8    1:6|in our spiritual rank we are servants of Christ and disciples
04Yegh8    1:18|I said earlier that you are a very rebellious person. It
04Yegh8    1:18|become quite clear that you are involved in all their crimes
04Yegh8    1:22|It is clear that you are even more criminal
04Yegh8    1:24|a man, but now you are uselessly barking like a dog
04Yegh8    1:25|and you in your cruelty are more unfeeling than it
04Yegh8    2:26|not only by us who are the more perfect but also
04Yegh8    2:36|heavenly healing and our noses are still in place during these
04Yegh8    2:40|you; as further punishment you are to go to Asorestan to
04Yegh8    2:47|we have labored little and are taking much ease.” And they
04Yegh8    3:63|For we are extremely anxious, not merely for
04Yegh8    3:72|us, our holy father. You are the mouth of the dead
04Yegh8    3:73|the path for those who are longing to return to their
04Yegh8    3:74|same prisoners. And while we are in this impermanent body, as
04Yegh8    3:75|martyrs of Christ, as we are continuously desirous to behold their
04Yegh9    1:18|Now we are not merely astonished at the
04Yegh9    1:18|to be tested, but we are more especially amazed that genteel
04Yegh9    3:73|land of Armenia, for there are many more whom I do
05Parp1    1:5|that the obedient and acquiescent are forgiven. One by one we
05Parp1    3:12|look at it. Indeed, there are those among the Byzantines, but
05Parp1    3:12|books. However, critical folk clearly are able to differentiate between the
05Parp1    5:0|hopes, forget their sorrow, and are delighted with their profits
05Parp1    5:1|the Psalmist says, “the bones are dispersed” (i.e, at the

05Parp2    6:6|are bowed in dishonor, and are inconsolable at the division. We
05Parp2    7:5|plains contained fragrant plants which are sought after by brave (warriors
05Parp2    7:6|different types of plant roots are found there, useful to the
05Parp2    7:6|ointments (applied) or (potions) which are drunk bring health to those
05Parp2    7:11|Ayrarat plain, but worms which are nourished by the plants offer
05Parp2    7:11|luxury (since) decorative red colors are made from the worms
05Parp2    7:12|The rivers are full of diverse large and
05Parp2    7:12|of those (ascetics) who tirelessly are striving
05Parp2    9:1|you, but all his displays are false and fraudulent. For he
05Parp2    12:7|Secondly, (the Armenians) are strangers to our religion, and
05Parp2    13:2|Moreover, because of conscience, we are unable to commune in the
05Parp2    13:2|those who commit such things are guilty, but even those who
05Parp2    13:4|follows: “I know what you are talking about, and have heard
05Parp2    13:6|blessed kat’oghikos Sahak, saying: “We are unable to find any solution
05Parp2    13:18|You who are students of his spiritual doctrine
05Parp2    13:19|especially so because the petitions are made untiringly, with fervent sighs
05Parp2    13:23|to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial
05Parp2    13:24|you not know that we are to judge angels? How much
05Parp2    13:24|lay them before those who are least esteemed by the church
05Parp2    13:28|Christ’s flock upon themselves. They are physically corrupt, but are not
05Parp2    13:28|They are physically corrupt, but are not unbelievers and pagans; foul
05Parp2    13:28|worshipers of the elements. They are ill with one disease, but
05Parp2    13:28|ill with one disease, but are not infected with all diseases
05Parp2    13:28|all diseases as the impious are
05Parp2    13:33|know that just as we are resolved not to have (Artashes
05Parp2    14:5|that the naxarars of Armenia are accusing you
05Parp2    14:6|no idea what slander they are saying about me. But it
05Parp2    14:11|from your authority. Because we are of the same azg, I
05Parp2    15:12|thatHis customs and ways are not those of the teachings
05Parp2    16:8|and ’Those of you who are able, eliminate the failings of
05Parp2    17:10|we present the vision, which are the words of the Father
05Parp2    17:35|he said to me: “Why are you sad? Why are your
05Parp2    17:35|Why are you sad? Why are your mind and the clarity
05Parp2    17:36|How come you are thinking foolish thoughts, troubled about
05Parp2    17:41|word of his command and are enlightened by the glory of
05Parp2    17:49|everyone will recognize that you are my disciples, if you love
05Parp2    17:53|The words of the Lord are pure like silver tried in

05Parp2    17:65|the market that the weak are destroyed, and that help stands
05Parp2    17:68|for their hardships and labors are manifold
05Parp2    17:72|Then will the righteous who are accomplished in virtuous conduct fly
05Parp3    20:7|of fire (with which all are fed, and which enjoy), or
05Parp3    20:8|Now while those (people) who are not obedient to us see
05Parp3    20:9|Such people are unable to recognize the gods
05Parp3    20:9|gods and the benefits which are given to humankind by each
05Parp3    20:9|decision, and clearly the gods are angered when they cannot make
05Parp3    20:10|severe rules against the realm are eternally lost, while we will
05Parp3    20:15|Who stipulated it, and they are obliged to ceaselessly give it
05Parp3    21:2|For just as you are concerned about your profits and

05Parp3    21:5|such a host of souls are being lostyou never think

05Parp3    44:11|rather than joy. Rather, we are happy and delighted with what
05Parp3    44:11|what we have done. We are surrounded by diverse sorrows and
05Parp3    44:13|composed of many materials. There are materials of which it is

06Khor1    1:6|we have realized that you are so disposed it is clear
06Khor1    1:7|Armenian noble families as these are found in certain Greek histories
06Khor1    2:1|from Greek sources although they are more frequently mentioned in Chaldaean
06Khor1    2:2|and Chaldaeans, in which particularly are found many references to the
06Khor1    2:6|There are also many other similar reasons
06Khor1    2:9|And they are to be praised as philosophers
06Khor1    2:9|even more to be praised are those who received and honored
06Khor1    3:3|If in truth those kings are worthy of praise who in
06Khor1    3:3|were occupied with similar efforts are worthy of our eulogies. Through
06Khor1    3:4|For although we are a small country and very
06Khor1    3:7|However, these suggestions are not justified because there were
06Khor1    3:7|Greeks had scripts that today are used among us for books
06Khor1    3:10|which of the various tribes are indigenous and native and which
06Khor1    3:10|indigenous and native and which are of foreign origin but naturalized
06Khor1    4:1|the fact that other historians are not in agreement about Adam

06Khor1    5:43|from Ham down to Ninos are not to be found calculated
06Khor1    5:48|the truth in our opinion are those who say that Ninos
06Khor1    6:4|But if you are grateful for our vigils and
06Khor1    6:5|of Xisut’ra to Armenia, they are correct; but in changing the
06Khor1    6:10|king of the Bactrians, who are the Medes, said that he
06Khor1    6:10|other fables about him, which are inapposite for us to repeat
06Khor1    6:28|And whether these tales are false or true is of
06Khor1    7:7|narrative of the tales that are your particular desire, especially because
06Khor1    8:4|of the brave,” he said, “are their weapons; as much as
06Khor1    9:2|sea, whose person and image are as those of our gods
06Khor1    9:2|gods, whose fortune and destiny are superior to those of all
06Khor1    9:5|the orders of rank here are quite uncertain, as are the
06Khor1    9:5|here are quite uncertain, as are the cults for the temples
06Khor1    9:14|Through this we are assured of the order of
06Khor1    9:20|Yapetost’ē, Merod, Sirat’, Taklad - who are Yapheth, Gomer, T’iras, T’orgom
06Khor1    11:11|of a lake whose waters are salty and which contains small
06Khor1    12:2|After these many things are related in the book. But
06Khor1    12:8|From them, they say, are derived the principalities called Manavazean
06Khor1    12:8|the time of Saint Trdat are said to have destroyed each
06Khor1    12:9|those of our own time are now famous
06Khor1    14:2|of valor in the west are told of him, Aram in
06Khor1    14:22|obscure men from ballads and are found in the royal archives
06Khor1    15:14|Therefore, from now on they are all the more to be
06Khor1    16:20|anyone with accuracy, so we are unwilling to include it in
06Khor1    19:5|And as these matters are so arranged and exactitude is
06Khor1    20:12|that family demonstrates that they are Canaanites
06Khor1    20:64|His descendants are: Anushavan
06Khor1    23:3|men descended from our kings are dear to me as compatriots
06Khor1    23:25|indicate the truth. For they are disordered babblings of vain words
06Khor1    24:1|sons of Senek’erim, from whom are descended the Artsruni and the
06Khor1    29:2|those that do reach us are quickly driven away; while no
06Khor1    31:12|So are you not now more amazed
06Khor1    32:3|For the descendants of heroes are heroes; but as for those
06Khor1    32:4|of heroic nature, what we are saying is true
06Khor1    32:6|So too there are many called Tigran, but only
06Khor1    32:11|His descendants are the Vahunik’; and from his
06Khor1    32:11|from his youngest son Aṙavan are descended the Aṙaveneank’
06Khor1    33:2|There are two things deriving from your
06Khor1    33:4|among the creatures. For some are creatures of the first day
06Khor1    33:9|I cannot say whether we are here acting like a wise
06Khor1    33:9|the end these stories, which are important and worthy of our
06Khor1    33:10|What then are the first of such tales
06Khor1    34:5|these false fables; what use are these senseless and stupid compositions
06Khor1    34:6|Surely, they are not Greek fables, noble and
06Khor1    34:13|Persians’, most ancient events, which are incomprehensible to them themselves, provided
06Khor2    2:5|from which gold and silver are extracted, and that they had
06Khor2    6:7|the names of the villages are called after his brothers and
06Khor2    7:11|he granted them villages, which are called after their names. So
06Khor2    7:11|their names. So, these principalities are called Abeḷean and Gabeḷean
06Khor2    7:12|And the Artsruni I know are not Artsruni but Artsruni; they
06Khor2    7:13|omit the nonsensical fables that are recounted in Hadamakert to the
06Khor2    7:14|I know that the Gnuni are giniuni; they prepared drink worthy
06Khor2    7:15|And these two houses are descended from Senek’erim, the Artsruni
06Khor2    8:2|king of the Medes - these are now called Muratsean
06Khor2    8:14|the principality called Orduni; they are descended from Hayk
06Khor2    8:26|the inflexible Miandak, from whom are descended the Mandakunik’
06Khor2    8:32|found it said that they are truly branches of the Sisakan
06Khor2    8:41|and life without rancor - which are the causes of prosperity and
06Khor2    10:6|that in the Edessene archive are to be found all the
06Khor2    10:7|I think that these are preserved today in the same
06Khor2    13:2|Those events are described by the Greek historians
06Khor2    13:6|But because there are many who say that our
06Khor2    13:22|I think that these accounts are worthy of belief, and that
06Khor2    19:14|only those whole of limb are to be appointed priests
06Khor2    27:6|read may understand that they are of the same family as
06Khor2    27:7|Kareneank’ and Sureneank’ from whom are descended Saint Gregory and the
06Khor2    28:1|to his brothers, from whom are descended our Illuminator and his
06Khor2    30:6|of God, saying: “These wonders are not a man’s but God’s
06Khor2    31:4|of two things: either you are God who have descended from
06Khor2    31:4|work these things, or you are the son of God and
06Khor2    33:7|Abgar said to him: “Are you truly the disciple of
06Khor2    33:7|send to me here, and are you able to cure my
06Khor2    33:19|Know that these miracles are not a mere man’s but
06Khor2    33:52|to me that you who are my kin in the flesh
06Khor2    37:4|And there are stories about him as follows
06Khor2    38:6|that wet nurse, and you are bringing up the son of
06Khor2    48:10|composer of temple histories, as are also many other deeds that
06Khor2    49:2|deeds of the last Artashēs are mostly revealed to you from
06Khor2    57:3|But they are by origin Jewish, descended from
06Khor2    57:4|of the Amatunik’, for they are personable and well formed and
06Khor2    61:6|smiths, they say, his bonds are strengthened
06Khor2    62:3|No great deeds are told of him but merely
06Khor2    63:14|Bagarat by which the Bagratunik’ are now called is Bagadia, and
06Khor2    64:7|to us, partly because we are avoiding the labor of such
06Khor2    68:6|And these are the Pahlavik kings
06Khor2    68:8|I said earlier, whose names are the following: the eldest was
06Khor2    68:13|told. But know that we are happily repeating this again because
06Khor2    69:5|Many are the historians of that period
06Khor2    70:1|What are the fables about the Pahlavik’
06Khor2    81:11|as they say, the Chinese are the most peace loving of
06Khor2    81:13|the garments which among us are the robes of the few
06Khor2    81:13|the few, for them they are the common dress
06Khor2    86:11|her and note: “Whom then are we to worship instead of
06Khor2    91:5|but knowing that all places are God’s, she dwelt in these
06Khor2    91:8|no longer appeared to anyone, are reckoned thirty years
06Khor2    92:20|Now because these things are truly so, let us console
06Khor2    92:25|says [cf. 2 Chron. 13:9]. Just as now there are many who speak of things
06Khor2    92:26|the thoughts of the speaker are directed to another
06Khor2    92:29|then I say that such are those who encourage them
06Khor3    1:1|Likewise, the works of Diodore are not available to us, so
06Khor3    3:3|of Saint Gregory because they are seeking them very ardently. And
06Khor3    17:7|We are truly convinced that you have
06Khor3    19:8|brother and the fugitives who are with him will be released
06Khor3    23:7|the mountain of Tsaḷik that are wooded and watered and make
06Khor3    26:8|the citizens of Tigranakert who are no longer named among the

06Khor3    28:7|These are wheeled machines, pushed along by
06Khor3    48:14|Rejoice, for we are well and were happy at
06Khor3    48:16|various people. For kings’ grants are not revoked without damage, especially

06Khor3    68:30|The teachers are ignorant and presumptuous, taking honor

08Ghev1    14:7|you may not think we are ashamed to profess a religion
08Ghev1    14:8|this way. Suppose two men are standing near a fire, one
08Ghev1    14:10|is this way that you are used to elude and mutilate
08Ghev1    14:10|you still do not. You are but merchants of the things

08Ghev1    14:72|As for us, we are accustomed to designate the Christians
08Ghev1    14:72|under your tyranny, yet they are none the less Christians, these

08Ghev1    14:80|the servants of God who are under His command to communicate
08Ghev1    14:82|from the Book of God, are empty and futile. To whom

08Ghev1    14:88|earth, but as the rays are born from the sun, as
08Ghev1    14:89|know what place those who are willing to render homage to

08Ghev1    14:132|forgotten, though may be you are hardly aware of it, the
08Ghev1    14:133|as I said. Your objections are totally irrelevant, and offer nothing
08Ghev1    14:134|you recognize that these books are of divine origin. Suppose we
08Ghev1    14:134|been falsified and corrupted, where are yours in which you place

08Ghev1    14:135|shall be convinced that you are speaking the truth
08Ghev1    14:138|Gospels and see if you are dealing with them properly. Jesus
08Ghev1    14:140|the Gospel and the faithful are manifested by conserving intact the
08Ghev1    14:140|the traits in (Jesus) which are the most eminent and the
08Ghev1    14:144|on, “I and my Father are one.” [John 10:30]. In His prayer, as
08Ghev1    14:153|the passages of the Gospels are in accord on these points
08Ghev1    14:154|the prophecy: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when
08Ghev1    14:159|You are also ignorant of a further

08Ghev1    14:214|are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven
08Ghev1    14:215|For you who are given over to carnal vices
