02Agat3    2:1|in hair-shirts, and sat on ashes, and fasted for sixty
02Agat3    3:1|the torments which had fallen on them as punishment, because they
02Agat3    3:2|body had become hairy, and on his limbs, bristles had grown
02Agat3    4:2|that he intends to bestow on you, and there appeared to
02Agat3    4:8|infinite expanses were piled up on either side beyond sight

02Agat3    4:15|the capitals of fire. And on top of the three columns
02Agat3    4:21|fiery altars, and a column on each altar, and a cross
02Agat3    4:21|each altar, and a cross on each column. And they shone

02Agat3    10:6|the building, they rained down on the people below useless arrows
02Agat3    10:15|them and set them all on the road to the Lord

02Agat3    14:11|But then he had mercy on us at the intercession of
02Agat3    15:5|And thus honored on their journey, they arrived at
02Agat3    15:10|the blessed Gregory. They passed on to him great honor and
02Agat3    15:11|being Leontius, laid their hands on him, so that he might
02Agat3    15:11|receive authority in heaven and on earth to receive the keys
02Agat3    15:11|kingdom, to bind and loose on earth
02Agat3    15:13|Lord Jesus Christ, set out on the road, arriving at the
02Agat3    16:1|kings of Great Armenia, located on the summit of Qarqe Mountain
02Agat3    16:1|the summit of Qarqe Mountain on the banks of the Euphrates
02Agat3    17:8|they were nothing. From now on serve the Lord God who
02Agat3    17:13|day to commemorate the saints, on the seventh day of the
02Agat3    18:10|the life-giving salvation bestowed on you by God, as has
02Agat3    18:11|And may you, reflecting on the outcome of their labor
02Agat3    18:17|that enveloped you and put on you raiments of shining light
02Agat3    19:4|had brought thence he imposed on himself his customary fasting and

02Agat3    21:4|celebrate in that hamlet and on the same day a feast
02Agat3    23:14|desirous petitions and conciliatory requests on behalf of life for all
02Agat3    23:15|caverns in the ground and on the summits of mountains, taking

02Agat3    24:4|while the disciples were sailing on Lake Tiberias

02Agat3    24:5|the evening prayer three times on the Mount of Olives alone

02Agat3    29:7|and arouse and urge them on firmly to the promised good
02Agat3    29:8|greater effort to urge everyone on to good works

03Buz4    20:12|as dense as the sand on the seashore

03Buz4    22:0|at the very same time, on the same day of the
03Buz4    22:1|countless and immeasurable as sand on the seashore, with an inestimable
03Buz4    22:11|On the same day of the
03Buz4    22:15|Thinking that the king was on that elephant, Bagos dismounted from

03Buz4    24:9|their ancestors, from ancient times on
03Buz4    24:14|left that place and went on elsewhere raiding, advancing through the
03Buz4    24:20|of Ayrayrat. resembling the sand on the seashore
03Buz4    25:5|escaped by a hairsbreadth fleeing on a horse, and the Armenians
03Buz4    31:7|escaped by a hairsbreadth, fleeing on a horse to the country
03Buz4    32:4|before them all the fugitives on horseback
03Buz4    35:4|But on that occasion as well they
03Buz4    36:2|night he entered the entrenchment on foot with [10000] very select men
03Buz4    37:1|of Armenia, a relative, came on king Shapuh’s word to war
03Buz4    40:2|the Armenian troops to fall on Vachakan’s banak
03Buz4    43:2|front of him. He fell on the Iranian entrenchment at night
03Buz4    47:5|troops. However, only Meruzhan, mounted on a tacik horse, fled

03Buz4    54:10|has arisen and come here on his own feet
03Buz4    54:21|and that water be sprinkled on it, and half the floor
03Buz4    54:23|to him, while they were on Iranian soil: “Arshak, king of
03Buz4    54:28|soon as he set foot on Armenian soil, he became extremely
03Buz4    54:31|Now again he was put on the other soil and began
03Buz4    54:33|king would sit with him on the same couch of his
03Buz4    54:33|king of Armenia would sit on one level of the same
03Buz4    54:34|But on that day, first they prepared
03Buz4    54:34|couch. They spread Armenian soil on the ground underneath it
03Buz4    54:36|puffed up. Then he got on his feet and said to
03Buz4    54:39|a giant with one foot on one mountain and the other
03Buz4    54:39|mountain and the other foot on another mountain. When I leaned
03Buz4    54:39|another mountain. When I leaned on my right foot the mountain
03Buz4    54:39|the ground. When I leaned on my left foot, the left
03Buz4    55:5|Those on the inside were depending on

03Buz4    55:5|of the place. But those on the outside pitched camp and
03Buz4    55:17|it happened that [500] people died on the seats they were sitting
03Buz4    55:17|the seats they were sitting on. And day after day they
03Buz4    56:2|but a youth, The hair on his head was grey, but
03Buz4    56:4|hair know that the hair on my head was justified in
03Buz4    56:7|But Zuit refused. On the contrary he was delighted
03Buz4    56:11|heaven), became a man, appeared on earth and walked among people
03Buz4    57:7|Then king Shapuh himself, mounted on a horse quickly rode around
03Buz4    57:10|all this to get vengeance on Andovk, as a result of
03Buz4    58:10|a wondrous sight. Her body on high gleamed like white snow
03Buz4    58:14|faith. They built many atrushans on their own sephakan property and
03Buz5    1:14|and bestowed very great gifts on general Mushegh. The Byzantine military
03Buz5    1:21|only one to escape, fleeing on a horse
03Buz5    1:24|stuffed with hay, and hanged on the walls
03Buz5    2:0|the point that Shapuh escaped on a horse by a hairsbreadth
03Buz5    2:4|by a hairsbreadth and fled on a horse, though Mushegh and
03Buz5    2:10|had not perpetrated any insults on his women
03Buz5    2:12|had a picture of Mushegh on the white horse, engraved on
03Buz5    2:12|on the white horse, engraved on a cup, and when rejoicing
03Buz5    3:5|river and to put him on the frozen ice. And thus
03Buz5    4:11|something now to remember later on. When you have arrested the
03Buz5    4:20|Nerses intercedsd with king Pap on behalf of the general of
03Buz5    4:28|whatever you give, I am on your side
03Buz5    4:31|and archbishop Nerses were up on Npat mountain. Blessed Nerses, raising

03Buz5    4:36|take pity on you and on the country; if you cleanse
03Buz5    4:38|in measure, I weighed mountains on the scales and hills on
03Buz5    4:38|on the scales and hills on the weighing clock. Who understood
03Buz5    4:38|and west, north and south on the scales, and still holds
03Buz5    4:51|and no man is righteous on earth
03Buz5    4:54|While Nerses was on the mountain, he spoke these
03Buz5    4:57|of the fugitives were killed on the road
03Buz5    4:59|his spear Mushegh struck Urhnayr on the head many times, saying
03Buz5    4:64|enemies. He has laid hands on many of them, numerous times
03Buz5    4:65|Because of this incident, on many occasions there was ill
03Buz5    4:66|will not lay my hands on a king
03Buz5    5:17|On that day, the Iranian troops
03Buz5    6:8|Pap, to the great village on royal holdings, called Ardeank. He
03Buz5    6:11|Then they put on a huge robe, and a
03Buz5    6:11|A sword was also placed on him, but the garments folded
03Buz5    6:12|the breeches and boots were on, they attached the cutlass to
03Buz5    6:16|was unable to lay hands on them because the folds of
03Buz5    6:19|the court crown was put on the head of the king
03Buz5    6:20|beheaded him, put the head on a spear, and erected it
03Buz5    7:12|robe. I shall place him on a couch and put delicacies
03Buz5    7:17|Arshak from the iron shackles on his hands and feet and
03Buz5    7:18|a noble robe, sat him on a couch and made him
03Buz5    7:22|He died then and there, on the couch
03Buz5    8:0|How the war ended on the Iranian side, and how
03Buz5    8:1|people were secured from battle on that side, the sparapet of
03Buz5    24:1|Nerses, was constantly reprimanding him on account of the wicked sins
03Buz5    24:4|man of God to sit on the royal couch, as though
03Buz5    25:1|by nationality, who lived up on Arhewc mountain. The other was
03Buz5    25:1|Greek by nationality, who, dwelled on the great mountain, in the
03Buz5    25:2|astonished. Shaghitay, however, who was on Arhewc mountain, since he was
03Buz5    25:2|had appeared to him. Epipan, on the other hand, thought that
03Buz5    26:5|settled in the wound, spat on the wound and, taking off
03Buz5    27:2|a desert area named Mambre, on a river named Mamusheg
03Buz5    27:7|about this, note: “From now on, let no one eat fish
03Buz5    27:11|On the way, as they were
03Buz5    27:15|crossed to a deserted island on ships. This island was full

03Buz5    32:12|battle-axes stood behind and on all sides of him
03Buz5    32:14|of gusans. As he leaned on his left elbow, he held
03Buz5    32:14|eyes were fixed straight ahead on the diverse crowd of gusans
03Buz5    32:15|the right hand which was on the handle of his sabre
03Buz5    32:16|King Pap fell on his face then and there
03Buz5    34:7|Armenia, as far as Ganjak on the Iranian side, which was
03Buz5    35:6|Rather, he released the enemy. On one occasion he got hold
03Buz5    35:8|by Mushegh’s order and acting on his advice that the Byzantine
03Buz5    35:18|with drink, I will arise on the pretext of relieving myself
03Buz5    35:20|from drunkeness, he got up on the pretext of going to

03Buz5    39:2|as he could lay hands on in those troubled times, some
03Buz5    41:2|the country of Armenia encamping on the Artandan plain
03Buz5    43:7|He stopped somewhere and spied on Manuel’s banak
03Buz5    43:13|While Meruzhan was on the road with his brigade

03Buz5    44:13|onward I was always nourished on battle and bore all of
03Buz5    44:19|the same. He had mercy on the poor, the indigent, captives
03Buz5    44:25|given about not mourning excessively. On the contrary, everyone in the

03Buz6    8:4|travelling a certain road seated on a pack animal. He encountered
03Buz6    8:4|an unknown lay youth mounted on a horse, sword at his
03Buz6    8:4|belt, and bow and quiver on his back. He had washed
03Buz6    8:13|the ground, placed his hand on, him making him a priest
03Buz6    8:13|rise, to undo the ties on his cloak, and put on

04Yegh1    1:14|living man in a tomb; on them the ray of Christ’s
04Yegh1    1:24|on condition you exterminate the sect

04Yegh2    2:33|and imposed the same orders on them all
04Yegh2    2:43|aroundthen he laid hands on them and by means of
04Yegh2    2:44|our noble valor. These inflictions on us are without reason and
04Yegh2    2:48|blame for all the harm on those imprisoned. This he did
04Yegh2    3:64|his trusted servants, called Denshapuh, on a mission to Armenia. He
04Yegh2    3:68|he increased the tax burden on the country

04Yegh5    6:139|the Armenian army crossed over on horseback and attacked in great

04Yegh6    1:16|rolled in torrents of blood on the plain, and all their

04Yegh6    3:57|by name, whose principality touched on the land of Armenia and
04Yegh6    3:64|fire and inflicted many sufferings on the magi by imprisonment and
04Yegh6    3:71|was unable to lay hands on them or torture them because

04Yegh6    5:104|endured, the great losses inflicted on the royal army, the ruin
04Yegh6    5:123|astonished, and he carefully reflected on all the proceedings of the
04Yegh6    5:125|be patient in bringing ignominy on him
04Yegh6    6:127|Then on one special day he ordered
04Yegh6    6:128|given him; he also put on his head-band and the
04Yegh6    6:128|band and the golden tiara on top. Round his waist he
04Yegh6    6:128|his neck, the sable cloak on his back; dressed in all
04Yegh6    6:131|On his arrival he sat in

04Yegh6    7:167|knows them may cast curses on him and not lust after
04Yegh7    1:6|that the king had inflicted on Armenia. He also informed him
04Yegh7    1:8|it, that Yazkert was marching on the land of the Kushans
04Yegh7    1:9|in pitched battle, nonetheless, falling on his rear he inflicted many

04Yegh7    2:27|might have given them food on the sly
04Yegh7    2:33|what you are doing. But on the other hand, if you
04Yegh7    2:39|their great folly and take on false forms in the eyes

04Yegh7    2:44|body was trembling, he remained on the roof stupefied and half

04Yegh7    3:70|Look not, Lord, on my impiety of many years

04Yegh7    4:98|the same city, and lay on a great feast

04Yegh7    5:116|May he have mercy on me as he did on
04Yegh7    5:116|on me as he did on the thief at the time

04Yegh7    5:122|to see that day, and on the day the hour coming
04Yegh7    6:132|your mercy shine forth, Lord, on those who know you, and
04Yegh7    6:132|know you, and your righteousness on those straight of heart

04Yegh7    6:148|great dishonor will be brought on our religion
04Yegh7    7:157|But before I lay hands on youreceive honors, disdain ignominy
04Yegh7    7:169|They put long cords on their feet, yoked them in
04Yegh7    7:170|a bit of flesh remained on the saints’ bodies

04Yegh7    8:179|of all the magnates, and on whom almost all this land
04Yegh7    8:186|Now you fixed on us the blame for the
04Yegh7    8:188|Just as on earth we do not have

05Parp3    28:17|that same sworn oath made on the holy Gospel many times
05Parp3    29:1|clerics with heavenly delight. But on this occasion, one could hear
05Parp3    29:3|When those who had apostasized, on pretexts and not in reality

05Parp3    56:9|right hand of the One on High, for neither Heaven nor

05Parp4    73:6|with king Vaxt’ang of Iberia, on the Gospel and Cross. They
05Parp4    73:15|encamped opposite the Armenian camp, on the other side of the
05Parp4    73:16|under foot the terrible vow on the Gospel, secretly communicated with
05Parp4    73:17|of ours, and have mercy on us, you will rule us

05Parp4    74:13|reached him while he was on foot, seized him, and took
05Parp4    75:4|in by horrible fear from On High, and he did not
05Parp4    75:9|distant from you, they urinate on the fire and throw their
05Parp4    75:9|fire and throw their exerement on it, and they revile both
05Parp4    76:3|to stop crying, to sleep on a bed, or to eat

05Parp4    79:1|go to a secure place on the borders of Xaghteac’, to
05Parp4    79:2|and ruining them, and moving on. He killed many people and
05Parp4    79:3|encamped there that day, and on the next day he heard
05Parp4    80:1|and broken the oath sworn on the Gospel, went to him
05Parp4    80:9|even more (firmly) from now on, without fear. Because I love
05Parp4    81:0|accomplish nothing, since security from On High surrounded and preserved (Vahan
05Parp4    81:11|his lance and killed him on the spot, and the Karnec’i
05Parp4    83:2|more serious than those (inflicted) on all previous days. And indeed
05Parp4    83:10|tail from the oath sworn on the Gospel, and from the
05Parp4    83:15|of Siwnik’, saying: “Help me on this side, because (Vahan) is
05Parp4    83:18|entire mass and came out on the other side. He and
05Parp4    84:0|the entrails of their prince on the ground. Then, after wrapping
05Parp4    85:13|oath-keeping are fighting together on one side, while you and
05Parp4    85:13|of oath-breaking are together on the other side. So how
05Parp4    86:10|They then went on to the ostan, Duin, and
05Parp4    87:2|many days and unitedly fixed on Vagharsh, king Peroz’ brother, a
05Parp4    87:8|giving testimony, they seated him on the throne of the kingdom
05Parp4    88:0|On the second day of Vagharsh’s
05Parp4    88:13|did they then ride off on their horses and elude us
05Parp4    89:3|he would reply to them on the next day
05Parp4    89:6|words; rather, that was done on the day we dedicated ourselves

05Parp4    89:11|man as good or bad on another’s say-so, or talk
05Parp4    90:7|of Peroz’ wickedness, and not on his own will
05Parp4    90:17|not crumble and choke?” And on the great day when (you

05Parp4    95:2|asked no more of him on that day
05Parp4    96:4|Mamikonean’s words, and sat him on the throne of the Mamikonean

06Khor1    4:10|who had hope to call on God

06Khor1    5:42|on account of his being on the borders of Egypt
06Khor1    5:46|genealogies, which some people later on suppressed
06Khor1    5:47|our time uselessly,” and so on
06Khor1    6:4|tellers were pleased to write on this matter, although I am
06Khor1    6:25|dwelt for a few days on the confines of Bactria, and
06Khor1    7:6|let this be enough said on this subject
06Khor1    9:9|and found one in Greek on which there was, he says
06Khor1    9:13|he ordered to be inscribed on a stele
06Khor1    10:5|Bēl to impose his tyranny on the whole land
06Khor1    10:11|recorded in this history that on the southern side of this

06Khor1    11:18|armed and the chosen troops on either side of him, Hayk
06Khor1    11:18|set Aramaneak with two brothers on his right and Cadmos with
06Khor1    11:18|other two of his sons on his left, for they were
06Khor1    11:20|to the ground, and perished. On either side the battle remained

06Khor1    11:25|On the site of the battle
06Khor1    11:25|villa and called it Hayk’ on account of his victory; for

06Khor1    12:21|day’s journey for a man on foot
06Khor1    12:32|and gave him a village on the bank of the river

06Khor2    9:2|Pontus, he left a monument on the shore of the great
06Khor2    9:2|of the great sea. Standing on foot, they say, he cast
06Khor2    9:2|that he had set up on the seashore
06Khor2    9:7|to hunt or to war on the Sabbath and to leave

06Khor2    13:18|the nature of the elements. On the land he was borne
06Khor2    13:18|over the sea he marched on foot. He threatened the Thessalians
06Khor2    14:10|upon themselves to set up on their private lands the statue

06Khor2    21:2|help Herod in the attack on Antigonus for Jerusalem, he himself
06Khor2    23:2|for the ill treatment inflicted on her grandmother by Tigran. And
06Khor2    23:5|On returning to Egypt he gave
06Khor2    24:1|danger to the Bagratuni family on his account
06Khor2    24:15|of torments to be inflicted on Enanos. The purpose of this

09Draskh1    30:25|with expressive designs, he placed on his head the royal crown
09Draskh1    30:28|permeation, shone forth with splendor on the island of Sewan. Because
09Draskh1    30:30|his decision) to set him on the patriarchal see instead of
09Draskh1    30:38|As for the anathema pronounced on me it was entirely just
09Draskh1    30:38|I erred and going astray, on my own accord I removed
09Draskh1    30:41|ramiks, whereas, a minute vacillation on the part of a man
09Draskh1    30:45|shadow of death cover me on all sides, if I proceed
09Draskh1    30:50|when He will pass judgment on the secrets of men at
09Draskh1    30:55|the pricks. For such thoughts on faith always lead one astray
09Draskh1    30:56|together with Annas and Caiaphas on account of the Lord, and
09Draskh1    30:57|the holy Nicaean Fathers labored on your behalf, and wearing boots
09Draskh1    30:57|your behalf, and wearing boots on their feet set out to

09Draskh1    30:58|and lay on pallets spread on the ground. With excessive penance
09Draskh1    31:1|Placing his kingdom on a firm foundation, Smbat tried
09Draskh1    31:15|the Kur River, and (continued) on to the district of Uti
09Draskh1    32:7|of God Mashtoc’, who dwelled on the island of Sewan in
09Draskh1    33:3|the multitude of his forces on the pretext that he had
09Draskh1    33:6|On the command of the king
09Draskh1    33:7|On the other hand, the great
09Draskh1    33:19|katholikos. He put his seal on a solemn oath, whereby upon
09Draskh1    34:3|King Smbat, on the other hand, observed silence
09Draskh1    34:3|a probable change of attitude on his part hoped that he
09Draskh1    34:6|a beloved son, and bestowed on him great honors
09Draskh1    34:7|law Ashot, Gagik and Gurgenon the pretext of friendly pastime
09Draskh1    34:8|no attempt to inflict punishment on Gagik, who had usurped the
09Draskh1    34:15|toward the komopolis of Hoghs on the pretext that it would
09Draskh1    34:17|troops were forced to go on all fours, so much so
09Draskh1    34:20|of the enemy, quickly put on their armor, weapons and ornaments
09Draskh1    34:21|pick it up and turn on their heels. When the multitude
09Draskh1    34:27|On the following day he clad
09Draskh1    34:27|in royal robes, and mounting on his mule, he made a
09Draskh1    34:31|later, when Gurgen had mounted on a swift horse, which he
09Draskh1    34:31|and threw the prince down on his back. Having (thus) met
09Draskh1    35:0|Afshin’s Attack on Smbat, and the Seizure of
09Draskh1    35:8|to danger, death or confinement. On the contrary, he released the
09Draskh1    35:9|the hope of heavenly salvation. On the contrary, he raised his

09Draskh1    36:10|I was a foremost authority on the laws of the New
09Draskh1    36:13|flaxen curtains. He also installed on the altar of Christ an
09Draskh1    36:16|rank, Atrnerseh displayed no insolence. On the contrary, he always made

09Draskh1    37:6|brought with her, and falling on her knees, she begged him
09Draskh1    37:6|the ostikan, who took pity on her, and showed mercy; for
09Draskh1    37:7|princess, Afshin returned her son. On receiving this great present, she

09Draskh1    40:18|herds of cattle and sheep on their flanks grew larger
09Draskh1    40:23|On his part, in gratitude for
09Draskh1    41:6|however, not with contempt, but, on the contrary, with twice as
09Draskh1    41:10|him in royal robes, placed on his head a golden crown
09Draskh1    41:14|to his inclination toward wickedness. On the contrary, he was always

09Draskh1    42:3|the others in exacting vengeance on the rebel, and made believe
09Draskh1    42:5|time to pour his poison on (the head of) the king
09Draskh1    42:13|passion of Achitophel, and venturing on undertakings that were wicked as
09Draskh1    42:16|king. The latter set out on the pretext of serving the
09Draskh1    42:17|On the designated day, which had
09Draskh1    42:23|men to lay hands only on the culprits
09Draskh1    43:2|honors that he had bestowed on him

09Draskh1    43:12|exact vengeance on king Smbat on behalf of one another
09Draskh1    43:14|I had my eyes set on the arrival of king Gagik
09Draskh1    43:18|hold the passes and defiles on the highways with manliness befitting
09Draskh1    43:18|their well-renowned fame. Buckling on their armor they raised their
09Draskh1    43:21|great paschal feast of Easter, on the three hundred fifty eighth
09Draskh1    43:27|On the other hand he incarcerated
09Draskh1    44:2|unable to do any harm on that occasion, because the king
09Draskh1    45:4|king Gagik, had pitched camp on a level plain in a
09Draskh1    45:7|troops from Uti turned suddenly on their heels, and in accordance
09Draskh1    45:11|night. Putting our laborious toils on the scale, we discovered that
09Draskh1    45:11|the burdensome fetter weighed heavier on us than the stones in
09Draskh1    45:13|his relentless agents, who inflicted on us more wounds, than (one
09Draskh1    45:15|put to words my thoughts on the considerable number of misfortunes
09Draskh1    45:27|to the beasts to feed on. No one was left with
09Draskh1    46:1|was sent to inflict vengeance on thieves, as well as the
09Draskh1    46:4|vengeful retribution for our acts on the day of retaliation, when
09Draskh1    46:13|was able to get himself on the road to the vineyard
09Draskh1    46:19|Thus the fetters on the daughters of our land
09Draskh1    46:19|of the grief-bearing ladies on whom it remained affixed in
09Draskh1    47:2|Thereupon, going on board ship, they sailed by
09Draskh1    47:2|an ark, and found asylum on the island of Sewan with
09Draskh1    47:10|the fortress had inflicted wounds on many of the enemy, the
09Draskh1    48:5|caliph for terms of peace on behalf of the entire flock
09Draskh1    48:13|and always inflicted utter carnage on the brave warriors
09Draskh1    48:15|death and pronounced the verdict on himself, whereby he displayed his
09Draskh1    48:18|and by revealing such equity on his part he might be
09Draskh1    48:21|Meanwhile, reflecting on these terrible disasters, the prudent
09Draskh1    49:5|the poison of their bitterness on him. Armed men caused frequent
09Draskh1    49:5|as well as torturing him on racks
09Draskh1    49:10|Then they placed him on the rack, and stretching him
09Draskh1    49:10|piled many pieces of furniture on top of his head. Often
09Draskh1    49:10|over ten men would fall on him like rocks, and thus
09Draskh1    49:11|and merciless tortures and torments on his privy parts, until he
09Draskh1    49:13|buried. They stretched his cadaver on a pole, and crucified him
09Draskh1    49:14|holy king had been crucified on a tall beam, some believers
09Draskh1    50:0|The Assault on the Fortress of Ernjak and
09Draskh1    50:8|On the other hand, king Smbat’s
09Draskh1    51:3|latter made many lightening assaults on the enemy, and sending their
09Draskh1    51:9|men, the wailing, the scratches on comely faces and the tearing
09Draskh1    51:13|while the latter were still on their feet and alive, they
09Draskh1    51:15|made numerous strong men pull on them from two opposite ends
09Draskh1    51:20|they offered treasures and estates, on the condition that they convert
09Draskh1    51:23|judges passed the death sentence on the latter and executed them
09Draskh1    51:25|offers of goodly gifts, only on the condition that they would
09Draskh1    51:27|Subsequently, the enemy inflicted blows on their backs, slapped their chins
09Draskh1    51:29|beard had not yet sprouted on his chin. Wishing to save
09Draskh1    51:35|their thoughts were fixed thus on the love of the supreme
09Draskh1    51:37|beard had but recently sprouted on his chin
09Draskh1    51:42|of their commemoration is set on the [27th] day of the month
09Draskh1    51:47|except to save their lives. On the contrary, quivering and shaking
09Draskh1    52:7|we had our eyes fixed on our kings, as well as
09Draskh1    52:9|is not what we witnessed; on the contrary it was the
09Draskh1    52:9|to make their masters crawl on the ground, and mount the
09Draskh1    52:10|On the other hand, our kings
09Draskh1    52:12|Thus, falling on one another en masse, they
09Draskh1    53:1|with the severe disasters (brought on us by the enemy), the
09Draskh1    53:1|elements of nature also turned on us the bitter impediments of
09Draskh1    53:12|the warriors that always poured on us the stench of death
09Draskh1    53:19|Others who had fallen on the squares like great piles
09Draskh1    53:25|more than the vengeance exacted on Jerusalem. For merciful women cooked
09Draskh1    53:28|On top of all of these
09Draskh1    53:29|possession of anyone, they inflicted on him twice as many diabolic
09Draskh1    53:31|gerdastan). Nude corpses remained tossed on the streets and the squares
09Draskh1    54:2|ceaseless grief of our heart on behalf of the Armenians, the
09Draskh1    54:5|your heart to have mercy on your flock, namely the Armenians
09Draskh1    54:6|perform matters) in heaven and on earth. At least, stop the
09Draskh1    54:21|beast, by keeping themselves always on the alert. The great prince
09Draskh1    54:24|On the other hand, Ashot, the
09Draskh1    54:30|with his wild frenzy, brought on us the tempest of bitterness
09Draskh1    54:32|taken arms to exact vengeance on the gentiles
09Draskh1    54:41|the blessed of the Lord on high before the beasts and
09Draskh1    54:43|the earth, and took refuge on mountains, in caves and crevices
09Draskh1    54:52|Israel, and we are surrounded on all sides by warfare. Being
09Draskh1    54:63|the yoke, which was imposed on us by the tyrant for
09Draskh1    54:64|the harm that she brought on us
09Draskh1    54:66|I have made these requests on behalf of the entire reasonable
09Draskh1    55:4|consent, and immediately set out on his way. In the course
09Draskh1    55:6|the same time, he bestowed on him the titlethe son
09Draskh1    55:8|They also bestowed great honors on the naxarars whom he had
09Draskh1    55:15|buried by the shepherds, and on which site a church had
09Draskh1    55:16|who wore cilice and lay on the ground. They wore no
09Draskh1    55:20|I returned to the hermitages on the mountain side and joined
09Draskh1    55:21|promises that they had made. On the contrary, occupying their minds
09Draskh1    55:38|unscathed by the afflictions (imposed on them) by their oppressors
09Draskh1    56:2|addition to these he bestowed on him many treasures, put in

10Tovma1    11:56|Drawing on these, to the best of
10Tovma2    1:4|oppression as had been inflicted (on Armenia), and roaring in his
10Tovma2    1:6|Artsruni advanced against them. But on him fell the valiant Vardan

10Tovma2    3:16|named Phocas. Marching in unison on Constantinople, they killed the emperor
10Tovma2    3:16|emperor Maurice and installed Phocas on the royal throne
10Tovma2    3:22|It was on the nineteenth day (of the

10Tovma2    3:36|army perished with their ships. On seeing such a loss, they
10Tovma2    3:39|rest but continually wage war on me and say: I have
10Tovma2    3:41|captured him and killed him on the crossso how will

10Tovma2    3:42|which the enemy had inflicted on him
10Tovma2    3:43|the senators decided to set on the royal throne Heraclius’s son
10Tovma2    3:44|city of Karin and passed on to Shirak. Reaching Dvin he

10Tovma2    3:51|and benevolent lord, have mercy on us, although we are not
10Tovma2    3:52|men, wounded, barefoot, unarmed, and on foot. In the morning Heraclius

10Tovma2    3:61|This went on for some days. Then King
10Tovma2    3:61|decreed a sentence of death on him. He ordered some men
10Tovma2    3:63|So King Kavat was confirmed on the throne of the kingdom
10Tovma2    3:64|now the kingdom has devolved on you and I shall agreed
10Tovma2    3:69|had come (for that purpose). On receiving it they immediately departed
10Tovma2    3:71|Then on that day there was no
10Tovma2    3:72|cross back in its place on holy Golgotha. Distributing to all
10Tovma2    3:74|robed in royal garments, riding on a royal horse, and circulating
10Tovma2    3:75|Then they put on the throne Bor, Khosrov’s daughter
10Tovma2    3:76|city of Nisibis. From then on the Persian kingdom was weakened

10Tovma2    4:8|to mention here in detail. On these the Ismaelites mediate ad
10Tovma2    4:9|influence fearsome and demonic, fell on him and drove him out
10Tovma2    4:10|Some fearsome angel’s voice fell on me, and ordered me to

10Tovma2    4:19|their horses, they opposed them on foot
10Tovma2    4:20|the feet, and their tramping on foot, and distressed in every
10Tovma2    4:22|we mentioned above, Mahmet’s teacher, on seeing his success rose up
10Tovma2    4:22|he had attained such things on being instructed by his teacher
10Tovma2    4:23|him these instructions: “My son, on my death do not remain
10Tovma2    4:24|to carry out his instructions. On his journey he happened to
10Tovma2    4:26|words of Isaiah: “riding one on a donkey, and the other
10Tovma2    4:26|a donkey, and the other on a camel.” All this he
10Tovma2    4:33|In his flight he came on the army of the T’etals
10Tovma2    4:33|him. But they killed him on Ismael’s order; he had reigned
10Tovma2    4:36|below the monastery of Astapat on the bank of the Araxes

10Tovma2    4:39|spirit he inflicted many evils on the Christian race. He commanded
10Tovma2    4:58|by others, which he inflicted on Armenia over a long period

10Tovma2    5:1|and agitation: on whom or on which regions to pour out
10Tovma2    6:1|disturbance between Bagarat and Musē. On the pretext of the royal
10Tovma2    6:4|between each other with oaths on the holy gospel and the
10Tovma2    6:12|a dauntless assault they fell on the Muslims and set on
10Tovma2    6:12|on the Muslims and set on each other, one champion striking
10Tovma2    6:13|like a lion, he rushed on the elite cavalry and broke
10Tovma2    6:13|right wing, turning it round on the left. The Armenians made
10Tovma2    6:13|eagles or lion cubs falling on their prey. From the violence
10Tovma2    6:14|No one could be found on the enemies’ side who could

10Tovma2    6:25|a valiant shout, he rushed on the enemy. (The combat) began
10Tovma2    6:25|and all day victory was on his side. He turned the
10Tovma2    6:29|damage to affairs of state on Prince Ashot. By their capricious
10Tovma2    6:30|the nations of Muslims, came on foot to the royal palace
