02Agat3    30:1|to write down ail this as is suitable for a writer
02Agat3    30:2|But we looked, as in a mirror [cf. I Cor. 13.12], at the
02Agat3    31:1|the true faith. We believe as we have been baptized, and
02Agat3    31:1|been baptized, and we glorify as we have seen the light
02Agat3    31:2|and of the holy Spirit, as the Savior said in the

03Buz3    3:24|As soon as they were freed from this
03Buz3    5:9|In a vision Yusik saw as though it were reality that
03Buz3    5:11|king who had forced him as a lad to marry. But
03Buz3    5:12|Later his wife bore twins as he had forseen in the
03Buz3    5:13|not that he regarded marriage as an evil thing, but rather
03Buz3    5:15|scorned every mundane thing regarding as good, not the transitory, but
03Buz3    5:16|He regarded serving Christ as the only good and glorious
03Buz3    5:16|thing, and ignored such things as the king’s affection or honor
03Buz3    5:17|he was no longer tricked as a lad might be, but
03Buz3    5:28|remain unmoved in the faith, as a rock, and will conquer
03Buz3    6:1|As regards bishop Grigoris Vrtanes’ son
03Buz3    6:9|a huge multitude of troops as we live?” Although Grigoris wanted
03Buz3    7:6|destroyed, spreading through the borders as far as the small city
03Buz3    7:6|through the borders as far as the small city of Satagh
03Buz3    7:6|small city of Satagh, and as far as Ganjak within the
03Buz3    7:6|of Satagh, and as far as Ganjak within the borders of
03Buz3    7:6|Ayraratean district, where they assembled as one large army
03Buz3    7:15|rocky places would serve them as a refuge. There was an
03Buz3    7:17|the few survivors before them as far as the land of
03Buz3    7:17|survivors before them as far as the land of the Baghaschs
03Buz3    8:3|trees south of the river as far as the Tiknuni palace
03Buz3    8:3|of the river as far as the Tiknuni palace
03Buz3    8:18|of Iranian troops which were as numerous as the stars in
03Buz3    8:18|troops which were as numerous as the stars in the sky
03Buz3    8:21|and killed him by lapidation as a man who would betray
03Buz3    8:25|might work the same act as Databe and revolt from him
03Buz3    10:15|question, it did not happen as it happened there; he and
03Buz3    10:18|They regarded him as an Apostle of Christ, a
03Buz3    10:18|considering him their shepherd and as a man who had spoken
03Buz3    10:19|accepted the gifts he brought as though they were favors for
03Buz3    11:12|their good memory without fail as Christ’s martyrs
03Buz3    12:11|As his father Vrtanes, he inherited
03Buz3    12:21|age, and reflected happy genius as a fragrant flower. For the
03Buz3    12:24|and numerous other sins such as these
03Buz3    12:25|commandments of the Lord, regarded as enemies those who perpetually transgressed
03Buz3    13:6|like him, and to do as he did
03Buz3    13:7|took that faith by obligation, as though it were a human
03Buz3    13:8|knowledgably with hope and faith, as is necessary. Only a few
03Buz3    13:16|Regarding them, it was as the prophetic expression said, that
03Buz3    13:17|knowledge of the true faith as it did to other peoples
03Buz3    13:20|in the invisibility of God as revealed through visible words. They
03Buz3    13:23|leader Yusik, and then did as they pleased
03Buz3    13:27|Pap and Atanagines were recognized as petulant and undisciplined. They lacked
03Buz3    13:29|As a result, they were not
03Buz3    14:6|the patriarchs and kings, just as the church in Tordan in
03Buz3    14:9|as well as the first bishop
03Buz3    14:9|as well as the first bishop and laborer
03Buz3    14:15|was there in an instant, as if he had flown
03Buz3    14:28|As soon as the great suffragan
03Buz3    14:28|As soon as the great suffragan bishop Daniel
03Buz3    14:32|He chose, taught and dispatched as preachers and summoners and inviters
03Buz3    14:36|your customary murder toward them as well
03Buz3    14:39|the same sorts of deeds as they
03Buz3    14:44|Just as your fathers wickedly killed the
03Buz3    14:44|to your sinful deeds, such as you killed the blessed lad
03Buz3    14:45|their killings and dispossessions. Just as they, being unadvised, destroyed their
03Buz3    14:46|Now, as a result of so much
03Buz3    14:49|Just as Israel was torn and not
03Buz3    14:58|The attendants implemented this order as soon as they heard it
03Buz3    14:58|implemented this order as soon as they heard it. Although the
03Buz3    14:63|had been designated by Daniel as vardapet of the land of
03Buz3    15:2|involuntarily obliged to accept ordination as deacons, both Pap and Atanagines
03Buz3    15:4|life of this world, taking as wives the king’s sisters, and
03Buz3    16:1|house of prayer and supplication as a repository for the saints
03Buz3    17:4|There they ordained Shahak as katoghikos of Greater Armenia, and
03Buz3    17:9|As a result, the Lord God
03Buz3    20:3|will agitation was stirred up as a result of some insignificant
03Buz3    20:4|He had gone as an ambassador to Varaz Shapuh
03Buz3    20:4|in the land of Atrpatakan as a border-guard
03Buz3    20:37|called [Acugh] Coal instead of Dalarik as a clear sign in memory
03Buz3    21:1|military commanders, judges, chiefs [pets], princes, as well as generals, shinakans, and
03Buz3    21:1|judges, chiefs [pets], princes, as well as generals, shinakans, and even rhamiks
03Buz3    21:10|had previously gone to him as emissaries
03Buz3    21:15|Then they took the banak as loot, the king’s women, the
03Buz3    21:16|a hairsbreadth and go free as a fugitive, thanks to a
03Buz3    21:17|males, and took the rest as captives to the country of
03Buz3    21:18|the princes Andovk and Arshawir as overseers of the land, exalting
03Buz3    21:19|The king of Iran went as a fugitive to his own
03Buz3    21:25|Armenia and principally king Tiran, as well as everything else you
03Buz3    21:25|principally king Tiran, as well as everything else you took thence
03Buz3    21:26|As soon as the king of
03Buz3    21:26|As soon as the king of Iran heard
03Buz4    2:4|the grandee nahapets were returned as had been the case under
03Buz4    2:6|of Armenia renewed and clarified, as it had been previously: each
03Buz4    3:1|to ponder and take counsel as to who should be their
03Buz4    3:3|said to the king: “Just as God renewed your kingdom, so
03Buz4    3:10|commandment - to love one’s comrade as oneself. Similarly, in military matters
03Buz4    3:15|out in protest, regarding himself as unworthy, and not wanting to
03Buz4    3:16|do not want anyone else as our shepherd but Nerses
03Buz4    3:19|our sons, and your impieties as well. Do you restore for
03Buz4    3:28|of them to request him as their shepherd, someone who could
03Buz4    3:31|the inheritance of his physical as well as spiritual father, Gregory
03Buz4    3:31|of his physical as well as spiritual father, Gregory. But it
03Buz4    3:31|everyone’s mind to demand him as worthy of it
03Buz4    4:8|Great miracles took place. For as he entered the church, a
03Buz4    4:14|more than ever, regarded himself as unworthy of this
03Buz4    4:16|went out to meet them, as far as the mountain called
03Buz4    4:16|to meet them, as far as the mountain called Arhewc
03Buz4    4:22|by inspiring him with awe; as for the obedient, the ears
03Buz4    4:25|their mouths, he obstructed impiety as well as the words and
03Buz4    4:25|he obstructed impiety as well as the words and deeds of
03Buz4    4:42|all of that is regarded as impure
03Buz4    4:43|he regarded all of these as the same abyss of ruination
03Buz4    4:48|and the non-shen places, as did the number of clerics
03Buz4    4:57|the Gospel among the uncircumcised as they were among the circumcised
03Buz4    4:57|should preach among the pagans, as they did among the circumcised
03Buz4    4:58|concern for the poor, just as I have been laboring to
03Buz4    4:61|Or as Paul himself, so zealous to
03Buz4    5:7|created man from the earth as a reasonable, talking, wise (being
03Buz4    5:9|and the birth of God, as we can convince you with
03Buz4    5:12|and confess with us together as an Orthodox
03Buz4    5:13|from his mighty paternal essence, as a perfect only Begotten, similar
03Buz4    5:13|and appeared from this woman as a man. He was by
03Buz4    5:22|we had, God was born as a man, that we, freed
03Buz4    5:43|are devoid of appearance, empty as ruins
03Buz4    5:44|unimaginable eyes of the heart, as the prophet says
03Buz4    5:46|die, we will see him, as the blessed Apostle Paul says
03Buz4    5:50|As for your son, if you
03Buz4    5:55|they (the Lord) keeps them as a substance for fire
03Buz4    5:63|When the king mourned as much as it was necessary
03Buz4    5:63|the king mourned as much as it was necessary to mourn
03Buz4    5:72|one in his country, because, as they say, in their world
03Buz4    5:88|As for those princes who had
03Buz4    6:10|a ram, and accepted Isaac as a living sacrifice, blessed Jacob
03Buz4    6:13|correction of the wicked, but as for us, the Lord knows
03Buz4    6:19|that heaps were formed there, as well as a lot of
03Buz4    6:19|were formed there, as well as a lot of firewood
03Buz4    6:24|brothers, that God treats us as He treats his sons, for
03Buz4    7:6|As a result of all this
03Buz4    7:6|this, everyone looked at him as an apostle of Christ, as
03Buz4    7:6|as an apostle of Christ, as a heavenly angel, and everyone
03Buz4    7:9|began to look at him as if he had descended from
03Buz4    8:27|allowed Basil to be present as an assistant to Eusebius
03Buz4    8:28|disputes and this anxiety for? As a sovereign, order you to

03Buz4    9:12|to oppress him, as well as all bishops in all cities
03Buz4    10:3|officials to him to go as soon as possible and bring
03Buz4    10:3|him to go as soon as possible and bring him to
03Buz4    10:5|the interior of the chapel as a place to spend the

03Buz4    11:10|to detain a man such as Nerses, great and honorable, the
03Buz4    11:13|and looted the Cappadocian areas as far as the city of
03Buz4    11:13|the Cappadocian areas as far as the city of Ankura. For
03Buz4    12:0|he loved the poor just as did the patriarch Nerses
03Buz4    12:3|and Arsharunik. He left him as his locum tenens and departed
03Buz4    12:7|to any great extent. Just as in his childhood he had
03Buz4    12:7|so to the same extent as an adult he was mired
03Buz4    12:15|saying: “Rights have died, and as a result cannot be found

03Buz4    12:26|But as he aided the poor and
03Buz4    12:26|and see them all filled, as if by God’s command. Again
03Buz4    12:30|Who had been so watchful as to visit His believers

03Buz4    13:10|spiritual son Xad had acted as he had wanted, in accordance
03Buz4    13:10|his wishes. He found him as he wished
03Buz4    13:14|and dare to openly boast as you relate your impudence, impiety
03Buz4    13:19|As for the sins which you

03Buz4    56:12|holy teachers, whom he set as lights in his church, He
03Buz4    57:1|under his authority. He had as guides Vahan, from the Mamikonean
03Buz4    57:10|to get vengeance on Andovk, as a result of whom there
03Buz4    57:13|and Karen in the land as princes for them, with many
03Buz4    58:4|oppressed whoever was by him, as the command ordered
03Buz4    58:10|every day to see it, as though it were a miraculous

03Buz4    58:13|they judged strangers as well as their own families
03Buz5    1:3|The great Byzantine emperor, as requested, enthroned Arshak’s son, Pap
03Buz5    1:3|requested, enthroned Arshak’s son, Pap, as king of the land of
03Buz5    1:7|with his wise advice, and, as events would unfold, he could
03Buz5    1:16|the Armenian brigade. They went as a vanguard before king Pap
03Buz5    1:17|attacked like a wolf, and as the advance-guard reached the
03Buz5    1:24|killed wickedly many fortress-keepers as well as many respected lords
03Buz5    1:24|many fortress-keepers as well as many respected lords, who were
03Buz5    1:27|resting-place for the poor, as he was naturally accustomed to
03Buz5    1:27|with the most goodly religion, as it had been in the
03Buz5    2:5|arrested many Iranian nobles, took as loot the treasures of the
03Buz5    2:15|As a result of this matter
03Buz5    3:1|secretly and insulted the tikin as though she were a whore
03Buz5    3:3|As soon as Mushegh had this
03Buz5    3:3|As soon as Mushegh had this order in
03Buz5    3:4|So, the mardpet Hayr, as if going to receive honors
03Buz5    3:7|In his place as “Fatherin the mardpetut’iwn they
03Buz5    4:7|oh bravest of men, order as a favor to me that
03Buz5    4:7|I go with my brigade as a champion against the brigade
03Buz5    4:10|boasting has requested fighting you as a favor. So, look to
03Buz5    4:11|them to work making bricks, as stone-cutters, and masons [creating] what
03Buz5    4:14|But king, you do as we tell you. Take the
03Buz5    4:21|not be a mediator. For as soon as Mushegh descends, he
03Buz5    4:21|a mediator. For as soon as Mushegh descends, he will join
03Buz5    4:26|live and die for you as my ancestors did for your
03Buz5    4:26|ancestors did for your ancestors, as my father did for your
03Buz5    4:37|that you are begging me, as if I, a poor man
03Buz5    4:45|them and have not done as you commanded us, so that
03Buz5    4:57|pursued by the Armenian troops as far as Ganjak in Atrpayakan
03Buz5    4:57|the Armenian troops as far as Ganjak in Atrpayakan, as far
03Buz5    4:57|far as Ganjak in Atrpayakan, as far as the borders of
03Buz5    4:57|Ganjak in Atrpayakan, as far as the borders of Armenia. Many
03Buz5    4:66|general Mushegh answered king Pap as follows: “I killed all those
03Buz5    4:66|peers, but yours. Come, just as I killed my peers do
03Buz5    4:67|king fall into my clutches as has happened many times, I

03Buz5    4:69|azg he is as honorable as we, his ancestors as our
03Buz5    4:69|honorable as we, his ancestors as our aneestors. For his ancestors
03Buz5    5:9|king Shapuh of Iran. And as the Iranians fell, all of
03Buz5    5:13|of the Byzantine shield-bearers, as well as the Armenian shield
03Buz5    5:13|Byzantine shield-bearers, as well as the Armenian shield-bearerers were
03Buz5    5:14|or the shield-bearing Armenians as though entering a fortress, and
03Buz5    5:15|As soon as they had rested
03Buz5    5:15|As soon as they had rested a little
03Buz5    5:15|making the same encouraging remarks as they killed, regarding their king
03Buz5    5:16|legions of shield-bearing troops, as to a secure fortress, the
03Buz5    5:20|thick, mighty and immovable tower. As soon as we routed them
03Buz5    5:20|and immovable tower. As soon as we routed them a bit
03Buz5    5:20|which opened its shield-barrier as though receiving them into the
03Buz5    5:25|the brigade that it seemed as though fire was devouring the
03Buz5    5:26|their love, they regard him as their king, with them in
03Buz5    6:1|calledfatherof the king, as border-guard at Ganjak, which
03Buz5    6:4|extremely large amount of treasure as gifts
03Buz5    6:5|were there with him, such as Gnel, lord of the Anjewatsik
03Buz5    6:7|to carry out my plan, as I promised king Shapuh of
03Buz5    7:14|something to benefit yourself, such as lands, districts, or treasures
03Buz5    7:16|the Andmesh fortress and do as he request for the bound
03Buz5    13:3|he established the Kura river as the boundary between the country
03Buz5    13:3|country of Aghuania and themselves, as it had been previously. He
03Buz5    14:2|Mushegh beheaded many of them as punishment, took many captives, put
03Buz5    15:4|He conquered as far as the old boundary
03Buz5    15:4|He conquered as far as the old boundary which existed
03Buz5    21:5|bishops in all the districts. As long as he lived, he
03Buz5    21:5|all the districts. As long as he lived, he constantly paid
03Buz5    23:5|deeds, everyone looked upon him as a heavenly angel
03Buz5    24:4|sit on the royal couch, as though by this he would
03Buz5    24:8|But as for you, oh king, it
03Buz5    24:8|oh king, it befits you as a king to openly order
03Buz5    24:24|pretended that he was not, as though he had not committed
03Buz5    25:1|Nerses, the man of God, as though being taken to the
03Buz5    26:13|he was crossing the river as he always did
03Buz5    26:14|disappeared, according to his request, as he had requested
03Buz5    27:11|On the way, as they were walking, they met
03Buz5    27:15|vipers and basilisks lived there, as well as many fierce poisonous
03Buz5    27:15|basilisks lived there, as well as many fierce poisonous animals
03Buz5    28:6|people transgressed your commandment and as a result of this fall
03Buz5    28:9|the father, appeared on earth as an eternal god, walked among
03Buz5    29:0|was appointed by king Pap as he willed and without permission
03Buz5    29:0|bishop of Caesarea; and how as a result of that, the
03Buz5    29:5|to ordain bishops for Armenia as had initially been the custom
03Buz5    31:8|As for the arrangments for the
03Buz5    31:8|the time of the ancestors as customary for giving to the
03Buz5    31:12|and women committing monstrous abominations as they faced each other in
03Buz5    32:8|in accordance with his worth, as was the rule in calling
03Buz5    32:14|the diverse crowd of gusans. As he leaned on his left
03Buz5    32:16|fell together onto the table as king Pap perished immediately
03Buz5    33:3|the Byzantine empire, and do as it says
03Buz5    34:2|country of Armenia, and ruled as king
03Buz5    34:5|Armenia, protecting all the borders as was his custom, and he
03Buz5    34:7|the entire country of Armenia, as far as Ganjak on the
03Buz5    34:7|country of Armenia, as far as Ganjak on the Iranian side
03Buz5    34:7|be provided with imperial stipends as well as the troops of
03Buz5    34:7|with imperial stipends as well as the troops of the country
03Buz5    35:20|all the nobility stood up as if to honor him
03Buz5    36:5|wept over and buried him, as was the proper way
03Buz5    37:7|defeated by the Kushans, and as they turned in flight the
03Buz5    37:13|As they were travelling it happened
03Buz5    37:21|evil-doing brother Mushegh? Since as you yourself said, you are
03Buz5    37:21|and since you came here as exiles, do not die as
03Buz5    37:21|as exiles, do not die as your brother did
03Buz5    37:22|and rule your country there as king
03Buz5    37:23|die by my hand, just as Mushegh died
03Buz5    37:28|and went against each other as champions
03Buz5    37:29|horse armor. Varazdat regarded him as a tall inaccessible mountain
03Buz5    37:33|the sight of general Manuel. As he chased him Manuel took
03Buz5    37:33|king Varazdat. He did this as he chased him over a
03Buz5    37:37|the face of the plain, as did many who had been
03Buz5    37:60|As long as Manuel lived, he
03Buz5    37:60|As long as Manuel lived, he led the
03Buz5    37:61|Vagharshak. Sparapet Manuel nourished them as sans and honored their mother
03Buz5    38:0|Iranian king, and brought Suren as the first marzpan and governor
03Buz5    38:2|and the sparapet of Armenia as well as the messages of
03Buz5    38:2|sparapet of Armenia as well as the messages of obedience which
03Buz5    38:3|As soon as the Iranian king
03Buz5    38:3|As soon as the Iranian king saw them
03Buz5    38:9|the tikin and her children as well as for sparapet Manuel
03Buz5    38:9|and her children as well as for sparapet Manuel. They also
03Buz5    38:13|considering the king of Iran as their lord whom they served
03Buz5    38:15|Manuel for he honored him as a brother or a son
03Buz5    38:17|gave himself out to appear as Manuel’s trustee and guardian. Next
03Buz5    38:20|what Meruzhan had told him as accurate, the general of Armenia
03Buz5    38:21|was no treachery being planned as the gossiping malefactor Meruzhan had
03Buz5    38:22|the marzpan Suren his life as a pargew and let him
03Buz5    39:2|As soon as Armenia’s general, Manuel
03Buz5    39:2|As soon as Armenia’s general, Manuel, heard about
03Buz5    39:2|heard about this, he assembled as many troops as he could
03Buz5    39:2|he assembled as many troops as he could lay hands on
03Buz5    40:0|perished at Manuel’s hands, just as his predecessor did
03Buz5    41:0|who perished at Manuel’s hand, as had his predecessors
03Buz5    43:6|generals of the Aryan brigade as follows: “I will go first
03Buz5    43:16|Then as he went along the route
03Buz5    43:20|Armenian brigade organized and prepared, as did sparapet Manuel. They went
03Buz5    43:28|As soon as Manuel saw their
03Buz5    43:28|As soon as Manuel saw their brigade, with
03Buz5    43:44|Garjoyl Maghxaz was also killed as a result of his horse
03Buz5    44:4|and enthroned the youth Arshak as king of the country of
03Buz5    44:4|country of Armenia and Vagharshak as his second
03Buz5    44:7|the land of Armenia just as your brave ancestors were ready
03Buz5    44:16|me, contrary to the rule, as a pagan
03Buz5    44:21|to punish those who do as I do not want. Let
03Buz5    44:26|the well-formed constructive Manuel as a father because of his
03Buz6    1:2|from the same Arsacid tohm as the Armenian kingdom, and through
03Buz6    1:3|gave him the nuncio Zik as a tutor. They arrived in
03Buz6    1:4|border. The Byzantines supported Arshak as king of Armenia, while the
03Buz6    2:2|all the priests to dress as the soldiers did
03Buz6    2:3|churches and began to behave as they pleased. For the priests
03Buz6    2:3|robe descending to the heels, as is proper for clerics, rather
03Buz6    6:3|repose, he wandered the wildernesses as a vegetarian in the mountains
03Buz6    7:2|behaved with sanctity and righteousness, as though worthy of the Holy
03Buz6    8:2|man who passed himself off as a faster and wearer of
03Buz6    8:5|perhaps returning from some brigandage. As for the horse he was
03Buz6    9:5|from God took place. For as soon as the bishop reached
03Buz6    9:5|took place. For as soon as the bishop reached his dwelling
03Buz6    12:1|people in a Christian manner as God wanted
03Buz6    15:3|But as regards clothing, he followed Zawen’s
03Buz6    16:2|days of their lives. For, as was written, the land did
03Buz6    16:5|Gind took the youth Mushe as his student and taught him
03Buz6    16:10|in the very same cave as the great Gregory the Illuminator
04Yegh1    1:4|believed in Christ to appear as his enemies and opponents; and
04Yegh1    1:6|of the Greeks. He struck as far as the city of
04Yegh1    1:6|Greeks. He struck as far as the city of Nisibis and
04Yegh1    1:10|began to increase his plotting, as one throws more wood onto
04Yegh1    1:14|were living in their lifetimes as it were in gloomy darkness
04Yegh1    1:15|Just as bears in their dying pangs
04Yegh1    1:23|desire will be fulfilled; and as it seems to us in
04Yegh1    2:35|farewell to their lands, not as in expectation of life, but
04Yegh1    2:35|in expectation of life, but as if they were to pay
04Yegh1    2:37|deceitful, but serve them faithfully as if serving God and not
04Yegh1    2:39|The king greatly rejoiced as if the desires of his
04Yegh1    2:39|he acted with them just as the ministers of his impiety
04Yegh1    2:47|began to think of himself as one superior to the nature
04Yegh1    2:47|fully hid his intention; but, as it appeared to the wise
04Yegh1    2:49|As in this fashion he madly
04Yegh2    1:2|As someone said of old: “Death
04Yegh2    1:7|As the soul is greater than
04Yegh2    1:8|more pitiable than most othersas indeed we see not only
04Yegh2    1:11|both body and soul. Just as it is for a man
04Yegh2    3:52|As they were leaving the royal
04Yegh2    3:64|of Armenia with soothing hypocrisy as if for the alleviation of
04Yegh2    3:65|within his plans were revealed as evil
04Yegh2    3:71|the country had been regarded as a father and overseer by
04Yegh2    3:71|also brought a chief-magus as judge of the land, so
04Yegh2    3:73|hundred dahekan they took twice as much. Likewise, they taxed both
04Yegh2    3:75|they themselves were greatly amazed as to whence all this treasure
04Yegh2    4:90|not good Arhmn did. Just as Ormizd made man, Arhmn made
04Yegh2    4:93|Especially as the Christians say: ’God is
04Yegh2    4:97|have gone astray after such as man
04Yegh2    6:131|religion and whom you regarded as superior to ordinary mortals, believed
04Yegh2    6:134|But as for our religionit is
04Yegh2    6:139|of heaven and earth. But as he is self-existent, prior
04Yegh2    6:142|Just as now, before a man has
04Yegh2    6:142|of the uncreated beings, not as a confused jumble, but the
04Yegh2    6:143|unable to prevent our wickedness, as indeed happened; but we have
04Yegh2    6:143|indeed happened; but we have as judge the creative right hand
04Yegh2    6:144|visible and invisiblenot different as if one were good and
04Yegh2    6:149|But as for your saying that because
04Yegh2    6:149|whoever tears it receives death as punishment
04Yegh2    7:153|Now as for your having said that
04Yegh2    7:154|is born from a woman, as if anyone would have intercourse
04Yegh2    7:155|man and did not consider as superfluity what was said about
04Yegh2    7:167|into harmony by persuasion. Just as he crushes and softens the
04Yegh2    7:174|elements mingled, and they exist as one body and do not
04Yegh2    8:176|As for what one of your
04Yegh2    8:176|mortal mother and is king as divine offspring and is a
04Yegh2    8:177|to him this material world as created and his own immaterial
04Yegh2    8:177|and his own immaterial essence as Creator of these elements from
04Yegh2    8:182|than you because I have as witness to me the very
04Yegh2    8:185|inexperienced, and newly created man, as to a child, turning his
04Yegh2    8:189|the unlearned into errorjust as many men urge their friends
04Yegh2    8:198|from the Holy Virgin Mary, as the prophets previously indicated, without
04Yegh2    8:199|Just as he made this massive body
04Yegh2    9:202|by himself, but he honored as divinely fashioned his own creation
04Yegh2    9:203|it the honor of immortality, as with the incorporeal angels, but
04Yegh2    9:203|Consequently, we acknowledge the divinity as one, who existed before this
04Yegh2    9:204|came willingly to death. And, as the Godhead knows, he was
04Yegh2    9:204|to worship him, was nourished as an infant with milk, grew
04Yegh2    9:216|own immortality; we shall die as mortals so that he may
04Yegh2    9:216|he may accept our death as that of immortals
04Yegh2    10:227|fashion but in angry terms as if to hateful and vile
04Yegh2    10:239|themselves, including the most distant, as close to one another in
04Yegh2    10:248|shaking his whole worldwide empire as if it would crash and
04Yegh2    10:249|him with me, confessing him as god, I shall not cease
04Yegh2    11:252|subjection under the same religion as that by which we still
04Yegh2    11:259|I see you as sheep scattered and lost in
04Yegh2    11:261|it is not even alive as you in your confusion suppose
04Yegh2    11:271|oath to the sun, saying as follows: “You are unable to
04Yegh2    12:280|foreign exile of no return, as they had banished many princes
04Yegh2    12:283|require witness from the visible as your eyes see what we
04Yegh2    12:286|former resolution, they sent in as messenger the same adviser of
04Yegh2    12:286|the same adviser of theirs, as if the desire of his
04Yegh2    12:292|appointed a certain great prince as chief-magus
04Yegh2    12:297|threw sticks and drew lots as to which group of magi
04Yegh3    1:1|and so that you too, as you listen, may shed not
04Yegh3    1:14|have fattened your own bodies as food for it. The outer
04Yegh3    2:46|others let forth loud shrieks as if they would shake the
04Yegh3    2:50|should abandon such a project as this. For even if the
04Yegh3    2:50|become firmly established in Armenia, as I have tested the unity
04Yegh3    3:54|and to the south spreading as far as India
04Yegh3    3:54|the south spreading as far as India
04Yegh3    3:56|them in the same fashion as the churches; and in every
04Yegh3    3:72|this whole country to you as marzpan, why did you not
04Yegh3    5:105|the onlookers trembled; they considered as naught the king’s gifts and
04Yegh3    5:108|the army they guarded them as if at the king’s command
04Yegh3    5:111|not take it upon themselves as men to kill him
04Yegh3    5:115|we recognize the Holy Gospel as our Father, and the apostolic
04Yegh3    5:115|and the apostolic Catholic church as Mother. Let no evil partition
04Yegh3    5:120|each one’s possessions were accounted as nothing in the eyes of
04Yegh3    5:121|They regarded themselves as dead corpses, and they dug
04Yegh3    5:121|grave. Their lives were reckoned as death, and their death as
04Yegh3    5:121|as death, and their death as certain life
04Yegh3    6:136|youths of the land were as bold as mature warriors
04Yegh3    6:136|the land were as bold as mature warriors
04Yegh3    6:138|them another three hundred magi as teachers; they have created discord
04Yegh3    6:138|appoint magi and chief-magi as arbiters for the entire country
04Yegh3    7:154|quickly dispatched that same Elpharios as ambassador to the Persian king
04Yegh3    7:157|did not have a king as leader nor any support from
04Yegh3    8:185|and turned them in flight as far as the secure regions
04Yegh3    8:185|them in flight as far as the secure regions of the
04Yegh3    8:193|country; these they threw out as carrion for the birds of
04Yegh3    8:198|entrusted the pass they sent as ambassador to the land of
04Yegh3    9:210|from the province of Ayrarat as well as his own property
04Yegh3    9:210|province of Ayrarat as well as his own property he unwillingly
04Yegh3    9:217|we might conclude our enterprise as we have begun it
04Yegh3    9:219|As they explained all this to
04Yegh3    9:220|clear, they sent him off as a messenger to present their
04Yegh3    9:222|be separated for a while, as can be seen in nature
04Yegh3    10:229|to the Christian religion, just as they have been firm and
04Yegh3    10:230|with our Mazdean religion, just as it was respected in the
04Yegh3    10:230|the time of our ancestorsas I myself remember in my
04Yegh3    10:232|they call bishops, he treated as worthy of presents and offerings
04Yegh3    10:233|And he entrusted to them as reliable officials the distant borderlands
04Yegh3    10:239|of them, humoring him, spoke as follows: “Yes, noble king, it
04Yegh3    10:239|noble king, it is just as you have said. But now
04Yegh3    10:246|them according to their rites as they might judge best
04Yegh3    11:253|Just as previously you practiced your religion
04Yegh3    11:261|For just as justice does not derive from
04Yegh3    11:274|very deceitfully disguising himself so as not to be feared. He
04Yegh4    1:10|As he had earlier broken away
04Yegh4    1:22|He took Satan as a shield, put him on
04Yegh4    1:22|a shield, put him on as armor, and became as it
04Yegh4    1:22|on as armor, and became as it were a soldier fulfilling
04Yegh5    1:1|earthly greatness and makes men as fearless as the incorporeal hosts
04Yegh5    1:1|and makes men as fearless as the incorporeal hosts of angels
04Yegh5    1:1|the incorporeal hosts of angelsas can be seen very many
04Yegh5    1:2|shrank at nothing in dread, as would cowards who are feeble
04Yegh5    1:2|all these misfortunes they reckoned as nothing if they could only
04Yegh5    1:3|Apostasy they accounted as death, and death for God’s
04Yegh5    1:3|and death for God’s sake as everlasting life; to serve on
04Yegh5    1:3|life; to serve on earth as freedom for their lives, and
04Yegh5    1:3|lives, and they recognized exile as familiarity with God
04Yegh5    1:15|these were for earthly distinction, as we fought at the command
04Yegh5    1:16|Whoever fled was regarded as a coward in the land
04Yegh5    1:18|and profitless and I count as naught the many rewards, since
04Yegh5    1:21|superior in ancestral rank. But as of your own free will
04Yegh5    2:29|a garment, now realizes that as he cannot change the color
04Yegh5    2:35|the liberal bestower of gifts, as he indeed said in the
04Yegh5    2:36|the injunction of this saying. As we appeared to men most
04Yegh5    2:40|their faces from us so as not to look on us
04Yegh5    3:64|So, the just Noah remained as the only perfect one in
04Yegh5    3:65|him. Therefore, God accepted him as a model, for he saw
04Yegh5    3:69|on him and established him as leader of his people
04Yegh5    3:72|As he lay down his life
04Yegh5    3:74|hands and offered two fifties as tinder for the unquenchable fire
04Yegh5    4:81|of their unwavering righteous conductas they never hesitated in their
04Yegh5    4:85|of God does not change. As he himself said through the
04Yegh5    4:86|As we know all this, brethren
04Yegh5    4:87|Our hope appears to us as double: if we die, we
04Yegh5    4:97|the true life they worship as God whatever they have chosen
04Yegh5    5:102|ones. Let us reckon them as more unfortunate and miserable than
04Yegh5    5:106|bring both sides to defeat, as the Lord himself did for
04Yegh5    5:109|It is as if they had gained double
04Yegh5    5:113|and were clothed with light as on the Lord’s great festival
04Yegh5    5:117|the great king and set as your goal the fame of
04Yegh5    6:128|Many other nobles he appointed as adjutants to these two, and
04Yegh5    6:137|immense anxiety on both sides as they resolutely attacked each other
04Yegh5    6:139|and attacked in great force. As the two sides collided with
04Yegh5    6:144|were prepared to acknowledge defeat, as the corpses had fallen so
04Yegh5    6:144|corpses had fallen so thickly as to resemble piles of rough
04Yegh5    6:145|them in a high watchtower as if in a fortified city
04Yegh5    6:147|As the battle continued, the day
04Yegh5    6:147|the point of death, especially as the bodies had fallen so
04Yegh5    8:173|was unable to conceal them, as such a great battle could
04Yegh5    8:175|company. The latter he sent as messengers to announce pardon for
04Yegh5    8:176|power had indeed been broken as he had been struck on
04Yegh6    1:11|executioner, uttering the same words as the two hundred had spoken
04Yegh6    2:30|But just as we have often shown the
04Yegh6    2:31|so that the army was as numerous as before
04Yegh6    2:31|the army was as numerous as before
04Yegh6    3:53|blame on the impious Vasak as being the cause and author
04Yegh6    3:67|everything to the court, just as he had heard it from
04Yegh6    3:68|everything falsely, twisting the facts as he pleased, yet he had
04Yegh6    3:74|to receive gifts and offerings as before
04Yegh6    4:77|rites of piety now just as they did in former times
04Yegh6    4:82|those at the royal court: “As for those who did not
04Yegh6    4:82|own mind; let him worship as he wishes to worship. They
04Yegh6    4:100|killed, others he took captive as royal slaves and handmaidens
04Yegh6    5:107|made public before the king, as well as many other deceits
04Yegh6    5:107|before the king, as well as many other deceits: he behaved
04Yegh6    5:111|carries out his cruel willas is clear with this Vasak
04Yegh6    5:122|So, do as you wish; why ask us
04Yegh6    6:128|he appeared to the assembly as more splendid and distinguished than
04Yegh6    6:134|taken the title for himself as a reward at court
04Yegh6    7:151|great joy and appeared just as cheerful and serene as they
04Yegh6    7:151|just as cheerful and serene as they had been previously at
04Yegh6    7:151|allowed him to join them, as they kept him apart in
04Yegh6    7:154|of his parents and grandparents as well as his own, and
04Yegh6    7:154|parents and grandparents as well as his own, and even to
04Yegh6    7:155|They even went so far as to ask him:“Is there
04Yegh6    7:156|it out and give it as forfeit for himself and his
04Yegh6    7:156|for himself and his family, as many people had been included
04Yegh6    7:164|dog and was thrown out as carrion
04Yegh7    1:8|a little earlier, and Bel as it were confirmed it, that
04Yegh7    1:18|As for those who were in
04Yegh7    1:23|he regarded the blessed ones as if they had strayedfrom
04Yegh7    2:29|gratitude, with the hard ground as their bed
04Yegh7    2:45|and guard them there carefully, as you suggested
04Yegh7    2:46|hastily ran and informed them as if it were great news
04Yegh7    3:54|But as for the comforts which you
04Yegh7    3:54|who escaped such troubles. But as we came willingly and readily
04Yegh7    3:55|no longer considers our death as mortal but requites to us
04Yegh7    3:55|mortal but requites to us as immortals the rewards of our
04Yegh7    3:55|our laborsthen we count as insignificant these torments for love
04Yegh7    3:66|of your holy torments; just as you saved the condemned thief
04Yegh7    3:67|is their God?’—just as today your great power was
04Yegh7    3:69|whom I have joined, lest as I leave your sheepfold the
04Yegh7    4:77|them these tokens of honor as a pledge
04Yegh7    4:78|himself, joined us and become as one of Christ’s soldiers
04Yegh7    4:82|of heaven and earth, even as you appeared today through your
04Yegh7    4:91|saints held in their handsas they had been warned by
04Yegh7    4:97|family lest they be betrayed as traitors to the royal cause
04Yegh7    5:111|Just as you see this brother at
04Yegh7    5:114|my departure from this world as you have said
04Yegh7    5:116|he have mercy on me as he did on the thief
04Yegh7    5:116|the time of the crucifixion. As through him he opened the
04Yegh7    5:117|have unending joy in heaven, as they well know the desire
04Yegh7    5:120|were especially amazed at me, as they did not know me
04Yegh7    6:127|same time, they held council as to how they might be
04Yegh7    6:143|the king secretly everything just as he had heard it from
04Yegh7    6:147|into a debate with him, as he is the most knowledgeable
04Yegh7    7:155|in tribunal outside the camp, as we said, twelve leagues distant
04Yegh7    7:158|hold, and return to magism, as you were a teacher thereof
04Yegh7    7:159|was considered in my eyes as a blood brother but today
04Yegh7    7:159|a blood brother but today as a total enemy, do not
04Yegh7    7:159|will of your king. Just as you have received authority over

04Yegh7    7:162|king, also appointed two colleagues as assistants for Denshapuh from among
04Yegh7    7:163|that same night brought them as far away again to an
04Yegh7    7:170|They pulled and tore them as they dragged them across the
04Yegh7    8:177|may save your lives, just as you caused all the torments
04Yegh7    8:181|fulfilling the king’s desires, just as the great Zoroaster taught us
04Yegh7    8:184|Do not talk to us as if we were children, for
04Yegh7    8:186|with all our strength, not as some insignificant man but to
04Yegh7    8:186|man but to serve them as we serve the true God
04Yegh7    8:187|we must go so far as to lay down our lives
04Yegh7    8:188|Just as on earth we do not
04Yegh7    8:188|our true God for another, as there is no other God
04Yegh7    8:192|stealth. We are not alone as you suppose. There is no
04Yegh7    8:193|of your king and regarded as naught his magnificent gifts; they
04Yegh7    9:209|Now as for the sun, if you
04Yegh7    9:211|of its pure light, but as God’s command it spreads its
04Yegh7    9:212|the light in its globe as in some vessel, and opening
04Yegh7    9:213|Just as a ship, skimming over the
04Yegh7    9:214|And just as the other parts of this
04Yegh7    9:214|this sun to provide light as one of the other parts
04Yegh7    9:223|Just as today that same darkness clings
04Yegh7    9:224|the example of our Lord. As and however you wish, fulfill
04Yegh7    10:234|how he was positively considered as a father to the whole
04Yegh7    10:237|seduced by that man. But as he is sick of body
04Yegh7    10:240|As for this man’s seduction of
04Yegh7    10:248|Now as for your saying that I
04Yegh7    10:250|But as for your saying of me
04Yegh7    11:259|diseased errors of this world, as everyone already has been subjected
04Yegh7    11:260|choosing but (have affected us) as happens to the bodily nature
04Yegh7    11:266|especially because I have as pledge the great teacher of
04Yegh7    11:269|earlier you did not recognize as respect for your person
04Yegh7    11:271|did you kill the fire? As I have heard and confirmed
04Yegh7    11:274|The bishop note: “As you suppose, tell me
04Yegh7    12:299|’We do not recognize it as a creator, nor as one
04Yegh7    12:299|it as a creator, nor as one that gives rest to
04Yegh7    13:314|This psalm he recited as far as this place: “The
04Yegh7    13:314|psalm he recited as far as this place: “The just have
04Yegh7    13:323|died in that spot are as follows
04Yegh7    14:329|Kajaj from the same origin as the bishop of Rshtunik
04Yegh7    14:334|remained there with the guards as one of them. He was

04Yegh7    14:341|of them, they are pure as if disembodied, they are impartial
04Yegh7    14:342|say all that of them as ignorant or brash men, still
04Yegh8    1:4|They went very readily as if they had received great
04Yegh8    1:13|Yet you speak thus, boasting as if you were a disciple
04Yegh8    2:26|respect did you regard us as inferior to our fathers? Do
04Yegh8    2:29|saying: “This indignity we regard as minor, and the pains of
04Yegh8    2:29|the pains of the body as nothing compared to the great
04Yegh8    2:34|and they hacked them off as if they had never been

04Yegh8    2:37|noses by removing them. For as much as you render us
04Yegh8    2:37|removing them. For as much as you render us ugly in
04Yegh8    2:40|it ordered to punish you; as further punishment you are to

04Yegh8    2:45|seem as heavy to them as the question of why they
04Yegh8    2:47|this too were greatly saddened as if supposingwe have labored
04Yegh8    3:56|him their children were blessed as they grew up; through him
04Yegh8    3:57|In him the churches gloried as in a brave and perfect
04Yegh8    3:60|sake and spilled their blood as a propitiatory sacrifice to God
04Yegh8    3:74|And just as you opened the road closed
04Yegh8    3:74|are in this impermanent body, as we have seen your blessed
04Yegh8    3:75|with infallible hope that just as we finally were granted the
04Yegh8    3:75|the true martyrs of Christ, as we are continuously desirous to
04Yegh8    4:79|indifference to possessions, again just as a dead man is not

04Yegh9    2:36|by the sweet sound, and as much as was in their
04Yegh9    2:36|sweet sound, and as much as was in their power they
04Yegh9    2:40|treated the elder among them as fathers and cherished the younger
04Yegh9    2:40|cherished the younger among them as beloved sons
04Yegh9    2:45|As a result, the king’s mind

05Parp1    4:1|In this case, as in everything else, he was
05Parp1    4:1|Armenia and so regarded it as most fitting and appropriate that
05Parp1    5:1|words to please anyone when, as the Psalmist says, “the bones

05Parp2    6:7|a land where it is as if I am unwillingly tolerated
05Parp2    7:5|who shepherd flocks (for use as an ointment) against wounds, lending
05Parp2    7:7|who enjoy labor, and gives as if for a word, what

05Parp2    8:3|dwelling there in false glory, as one who is scorned, and

05Parp2    9:6|Now as soon as Xosrov was denied

05Parp2    10:0|among the group of scribes, as a royal scribe. For in
05Parp2    10:0|kings in Syriac or Greek, as well as decisions and hrovartaks
05Parp2    10:0|Syriac or Greek, as well as decisions and hrovartaks
05Parp2    10:6|churches of the Armenian people. As a result, the populace of
05Parp2    10:17|among the Armenian priests who, as the venerable Mashtoc’, were only
05Parp2    10:18|alphabet in the same order as the Greek, frequently asking and
05Parp2    10:21|from the torments of Syriac as if escaping from darkness to
05Parp2    10:22|translating) the holy Bible. For as yet there was no Armenian
05Parp2    10:23|an intense and important labor, as translating the books (of the
05Parp2    11:1|useless and arrogant Syriac language. As a result, the multitude of
05Parp2    11:1|of the people (seeing matters as) futile and vain ceased going
05Parp2    11:4|Now, just as the blessed champion of Christ
05Parp2    11:6|we were unable to become as informed of and learned in
05Parp2    11:6|in the study (of Greek), as you who were given brilliance
05Parp2    11:11|meal) to their liking and, as the psalm states, the words
05Parp2    11:12|the knowledge of the Lord as waters cover the ocean, thanks
05Parp2    11:13|during the time of Vrhamshapuh, as was written earlier. After this
05Parp2    12:6|Just as (the Byzantines) have made work

05Parp2    12:9|love (their spouses) as well as their (Zoroastrian) customs
05Parp2    13:4|the Armenian naxarars, he replied as follows: “I know what you
05Parp2    13:5|related by you. But now as regards strategems, worthy spiritual folk
05Parp2    13:7|such blasphemous and obscene acts as the king commits
05Parp2    13:10|mysteries, had a sweet taste, as the prophet Daniel said, sweeter
05Parp2    13:14|I, and you too, as we learned from God, should

05Parp2    13:28|not infected with all diseases as the impious are
05Parp2    13:30|not, and do not attempt, as some of your ancestors did

05Parp2    16:7|not to regard their actions as sins. And He always protested
05Parp2    16:8|I am unable to rule as patriarch over a people which

05Parp2    17:27|holy altar without so much as turning their eyes from the
05Parp2    17:33|spot where I was; and as I became more enraptured with
05Parp2    17:37|vision, which He showed you as a great revelation not only
05Parp2    17:38|to you this great revelation, as I was commanded by the
05Parp2    17:43|And as the bema appeared like a
05Parp2    17:43|learned from the Holy Spirit, as when he spoke through the

05Parp2    17:51|the olive tree, see just as clearly and recognize that love
05Parp2    17:53|all nations who received it, as the psalmist teaches through the

05Parp2    17:71|in the holy place, posing as God. Lord Jesus will consume

05Parp3    20:1|Just as Satan in Paradise used a
05Parp3    20:1|in Paradise used a snake as an accomplice and deceived the

05Parp3    20:13|Rather, the seeker is regarded as extremely foolish by everyone and
05Parp3    20:14|senseless and full of mortificationas it would be to seek

05Parp3    21:8|all the Aryans know Armenia as a large and useful land
05Parp3    21:14|want to serve them (militarily) as well, and that no small

05Parp3    24:7|written. We recognize those precepts as false and the nonsense of
05Parp3    24:7|nonsense of a stupid person. As we have heard them many
05Parp3    24:7|so-called vardapets and are as well-informed about them as
05Parp3    24:7|as well-informed about them as you are, there is no
05Parp3    24:8|of those precepts, their initiators [orensdirk’] as well as those who worship
05Parp3    24:8|precepts, their initiators [orensdirk’] as well as those who worship such falsehood

05Parp3    25:11|us if we show ourselves as part of Christ’s body and
05Parp3    25:12|apostasize the Son of man, as (Christ) Himself said, that person

05Parp3    26:1|whom the king mentioned did as he said
05Parp3    26:6|They replied: “We recognize you as king, (king) of all, and

05Parp3    27:26|to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and
05Parp3    27:31|the alliance of this multitudeas did Judas, who quit the

05Parp3    28:9|though to one individual, but as though serving many individuals made
05Parp3    28:10|more or less the above, as he was able. Then they
05Parp3    28:11|spoke the following words sincerely, as the king and the entire

05Parp3    38:15|venerable Yovsep’, who, although ordained as a presbyter, nonetheless had the

05Parp3    38:19|to look toward Heaven, just as this very night long they

05Parp3    39:13|As for the Iranian casualties, the
05Parp3    39:13|figure [3,544] was related to us as accurate by people who had
05Parp3    40:2|Yazkert ordered that as a reply to the hrovartak
05Parp3    40:3|of Armenia, be left there as marzpan. He urged him by
05Parp3    40:4|contents, he established Atrormizd Arsakan as marzpan in Armenia, and entrusted
05Parp3    41:0|Arten Gabeghean and Varazshapuh Paluni as their military commanders
05Parp3    41:1|requesting troops from the emperor, as was mentioned earlier
05Parp3    41:9|borders of Xaghteac’, to prepare as they could for whatever happened
05Parp3    41:13|an evil death and ruin, as though carried out. Terrified, they

05Parp3    42:8|perception of things, to receive as payment the very kingdom of
05Parp3    42:11|to receive great honor, but, as the above-cited just word
05Parp3    42:11|intentions were completely overturned, just as the poisonous plan of Achitophel
05Parp3    42:15|with him until you depart. As you enter the house, salute
05Parp3    42:16|As they were ending their questions
05Parp3    42:24|of the land of Armenia as a reward for your ’worthwhile

05Parp3    44:8|myself, is nonetheless worthily ranked as the head of the entire
05Parp3    44:11|us. For we did not, as some now think, carry out
05Parp3    44:11|a great and awesome act as ignorant people, without a plan
05Parp3    44:18|work? It is the same as constructing palaces of brick and
05Parp3    44:18|privies and outhouses, (the same as) using silver for making goblets
05Parp3    44:20|rights to be recognized, just as presently

05Parp3    46:3|to come and see us, as though we were unaware of
05Parp3    46:11|the apostate sepuh of Siwnik’, as lord of the land of
05Parp3    46:11|the scandal of his House. As mentioned above, after being tormented
05Parp3    48:3|renowned men from his troops, as well as rhamik cavalrymen

05Parp3    52:6|such transitory ornaments were not as elegant as the chains of

05Parp3    54:6|son of believing parents who, as their ancestors, were loyal servants

05Parp3    54:9|Vehdenshapuh) esteemed him yet more as loyal and suitable for the
05Parp3    54:9|was going to do. For as has been said above, God
05Parp3    54:11|ambarakapet’s plan, he revealed himself as yet more trustworthy, realizing through
05Parp3    54:12|to him: “Would not someone as yourself, nourished in the faith

05Parp3    55:17|and have not altered them, as though we thoughtlessly and foolishly

05Parp3    55:22|regard your enmity toward us as grave, which made you call
05Parp3    55:22|we consider these personal insults as nothing compared to the worthless
05Parp3    56:2|But as for you, although you are
05Parp3    56:3|heard that no one is as knowledgeable in the Christian faith
05Parp3    56:3|knowledgeable in the Christian faith as you, and that as a
05Parp3    56:3|faith as you, and that as a result of your counsel

05Parp3    58:2|we regard such a death as honorable and exalted above all
05Parp3    58:6|who, upon hearing it, responded as though in unison, saying

05Parp4    71:6|God are never disappointed. For, as that select vessel of the
05Parp4    71:10|Amen,” they prepared for war. As the Armenian brigades armed against
05Parp4    71:11|his side of the front, as was proper
05Parp4    72:7|As for the severe destruction of
05Parp4    73:14|the Armenian brigade into Iberia as a good thing. Although they
05Parp4    73:15|side of the river known as the Kur
05Parp4    73:20|take the name of triumph as well as the profit of
05Parp4    73:20|name of triumph as well as the profit of the booty

05Parp4    74:12|entire Armenian forces as well as the useless Iberian (Georgian) troops
05Parp4    75:6|of Armenia, replied to Mihran as follows: “Whoever is the lord
05Parp4    75:6|all people with just eyes, as a king; he should look
05Parp4    75:6|justice and listen with justice, as befits a king

05Parp4    75:10|bad tohms has presented itself as respect-worthy, and you yourselves
05Parp4    75:11|You, a Mihran, as well as all the Iranians
05Parp4    75:11|You, a Mihran, as well as all the Iranians have heard
05Parp4    75:14|of any other nationality. But as you know, it was only
05Parp4    75:15|As for this (most recent) battle
05Parp4    75:16|prevailed) dread and fear, such as the lord of the Aryans
05Parp4    75:16|I had control of it, as my ancestors did, and if
05Parp4    75:17|people whom you have designated as princes of Armenia, being wretched
05Parp4    75:19|I was left (an orphan) as a boy by (the death
05Parp4    75:26|death. For whatever I encounter as a Christian, I am happy
05Parp4    75:27|As for what you said about
05Parp4    75:29|you continue considering the least as the best, and the best
05Parp4    75:29|the best, and the best as the worst, conducting the authority
05Parp4    75:29|to withstand the Aryans, knowing as we do the unfortunate power
05Parp4    75:30|a noteworthy and good death as Christians, rather than become the
05Parp4    76:5|saints shared with those grieving, as well as the blessed man
05Parp4    76:5|with those grieving, as well as the blessed man Gregory’s courage
05Parp4    76:15|own brother Gdihon, he replied as follows
05Parp4    76:17|now hold, and regard it as good and honorable. I am
05Parp4    77:3|Just as they were desirous of resting
05Parp4    77:5|the Teghac’ retreat was placed as our guardian, and, that same
05Parp4    77:5|his virtue, he treated us as men wounded for the sake
05Parp4    77:6|eat. After eating the food as we could from the saint’s
05Parp4    77:7|gradually began to interrogate us as to where we had come
05Parp4    77:10|As is the custom of the
05Parp4    77:16|For, as the Iranian corps knows of
05Parp4    78:4|he passed against the dastakert as far as the side of
05Parp4    78:4|against the dastakert as far as the side of the mountain
05Parp4    78:8|But as for those men who enthusiastically
05Parp4    79:2|talking along all the forces. As he went he took many
05Parp4    79:7|subdued and will obey us (as we wish), or, he (and
05Parp4    79:9|As for the wives of the
05Parp4    79:11|in the land of Armenia, as marzpan
05Parp4    80:0|a brigade of choice men, as well as Gdihon, the lord
05Parp4    80:0|of choice men, as well as Gdihon, the lord of Siwnik’
05Parp4    80:7|determination regarding Christianity and also, as a learned individual he was
05Parp4    80:8|As for keeping the women pure
05Parp4    80:9|fear. Because I love you as a son I am advising
05Parp4    80:13|our maid-servants to pollute as she would. For a moment
05Parp4    80:14|But as for our women, we will
05Parp4    82:1|Aryans aided us such that (as you saw) his deeds resulted
05Parp4    82:8|orders out of fear, willingly, as though he were a king
05Parp4    83:1|encamped at Shte’ village. Just as the Armenian troops of Vahan
05Parp4    83:7|enemy is lacking to become [300,000] (as against our [300]. They have no
05Parp4    83:17|into the entire Iranian brigade as though it was merely a
05Parp4    83:23|God), he then went unconcernedly as though he were a wing
05Parp4    84:3|Vahan regarded as nothing the life of such
05Parp4    84:3|life of such a man as Gdihon and conquered him, the
05Parp4    84:3|him, and the select brigade, as well as the men here
05Parp4    84:3|the select brigade, as well as the men here with me
05Parp4    84:4|and take auxiliaries from them as from his own relatives; and
05Parp4    84:8|But as I review the events of
05Parp4    85:4|After many hours he awoke as though from being dazed and
05Parp4    85:4|the man, questioning him alone as to how and why such
05Parp4    85:11|against them. (The men) went as people condemned to death, not
05Parp4    85:11|people condemned to death, not as warriors going to fight
05Parp4    86:1|man of this period such as we have seen or know
05Parp4    86:4|to our side such people as Vahan (whom I previously knew
05Parp4    86:4|I now know even better as a brave man) and the
05Parp4    86:4|I would regard that (accomplishment) as a great consolation for the
05Parp4    86:7|of Armenia. He knew each as proper and useful, and offered
05Parp4    87:2|They consulted among themselves as to whom they could make
05Parp4    87:4|he did through force aloneas he wished, with no regard
05Parp4    87:6|us have enthusiastically chosen you as an agreeable, world-building man
05Parp4    88:1|As you yourself know, your violent
05Parp4    88:9|left me there (in Armenia) as military commander, the way Vahan
05Parp4    88:12|deeds resemble nothing so much as diligent mshaks with good sharp
05Parp4    88:17|praised what Mihran had said as true indeed
05Parp4    89:0|village named Nuarsak. He sent as messengers to Vahan Mamikonean: Shapuh
05Parp4    89:5|and will heed your words as our ancestors did
05Parp4    89:7|demands) we will serve them as natural and loyal servants. But
05Parp4    89:9|useful, and scorn and regard as nothing the bad and useless
05Parp4    89:10|if you like it otherwise, as is the case now, then
05Parp4    89:10|go in a contrary way, as indeed happened and as you
05Parp4    89:10|way, as indeed happened and as you saw
05Parp4    89:11|not always recognize a man as good or bad on another’s
05Parp4    89:17|it is impossible, then just as we gave our lives before
05Parp4    89:18|words and matters will remain (as problems
05Parp4    90:5|Iranian atean assembled before Nixor, as well the God-forsaken (Zoroastrian
05Parp4    90:7|of the gods. For just as the men who were forcibly
05Parp4    90:10|the hearts of princes, and as He wills it, so He
05Parp4    90:13|lord of the Aryans willas you wishexalt you and
05Parp4    90:15|that they themselves were scorned as useless, they filled up with

05Parp4    91:13|began speaking with Vahan Mamikonean, as follows
05Parp4    91:14|did not remain near me as a usual neighbor, nonetheless I
05Parp4    91:15|Warfare is waged as much by bravery as by
05Parp4    91:15|waged as much by bravery as by prudence and wisdommaybe
05Parp4    91:19|regard all of your replies as extremely brave (when you say
05Parp4    91:20|reply that you were forced as a last resort because of
05Parp4    91:20|He demanded service and labor as a god and he thought
05Parp4    91:20|give recompense for that service, as a stupid man would conduct
05Parp4    91:25|with you, regarding their lives as nothing, bravely applied themselves to
05Parp4    91:25|applied themselves to the deed. As for those of your number
05Parp4    91:25|the impiety of Peroz; and as for those of you who
05Parp4    91:27|into service to the Hepthalites. As long as the Aryan world
05Parp4    91:27|to the Hepthalites. As long as the Aryan world endures there
05Parp4    92:1|the land and renew it as is happening now, it seems
05Parp4    92:2|God grants me your intercession), as would all Christians
05Parp4    92:3|the new peace-maker, sent as the cause of such goodness
05Parp4    92:3|goodness for a land such as Armenia and for us, people
05Parp4    92:3|and people. We see you as wanting and loving what is
05Parp4    92:3|is good, and regard you as a good thing for ourselves
05Parp4    92:4|As for what you said about
05Parp4    92:12|has been given to us as such backward and despicable men
05Parp4    92:19|As for other gifts, luxuries, and
05Parp4    93:9|the atean righteous God’s reward as he gave splendor and courage
05Parp4    93:10|For as the light, and through God
05Parp4    93:12|Truly, as the church rhetorician said, their
05Parp4    93:12|all, indeed they were revealed as the slaves who disgraced the
05Parp4    93:14|sat together stunned, broken, and as though awakened from a nightmare
05Parp4    93:20|and worship of the Church, as we wish. This is important
05Parp4    93:21|As for the station, honor and
05Parp4    94:6|peacefully crossed through the water, as though going through very shallow
05Parp4    94:7|were able to cross easily, as they wanted. For Armenia’s brave
05Parp4    95:3|the court nobility assembled there, as well as the entire multitude
05Parp4    95:3|nobility assembled there, as well as the entire multitude of Aryans
05Parp4    95:4|began speaking with Vahan Mamikonean, as follows: “We have fully heard
05Parp4    95:7|lives to death, regarding life as sweet. But you, never regarding
05Parp4    95:7|you, never regarding this world as anything, bravely died (those who
05Parp4    95:8|destruction were unable to behave as bravely as you did. Perhaps
05Parp4    95:8|unable to behave as bravely as you did. Perhaps they would
05Parp4    95:11|As you described it, your brother
05Parp4    95:14|serve (our) masters and obey, as though (they were) God
05Parp4    95:16|by your military commanders, and as a result of such meritorious
05Parp4    95:17|People from the same district as they and other people from
05Parp4    95:18|but they pollute the fire as they wish and regard you
05Parp4    95:18|they wish and regard you as stupid
05Parp4    95:19|which we do not regard as just, and we do not
05Parp4    95:19|we do not revere anyone as God
05Parp4    95:21|demand that we honor you as servants honor lords; recompense each
05Parp4    95:22|writing and with the seal as are the laws of kings
05Parp4    95:22|And demand submission from us as from serving folk. With your
05Parp4    96:3|look upon and then do as is proper and what pleases
05Parp4    96:10|to speak the truth, just as, godlike, you became the envivifier
05Parp4    97:3|joy. He gave a crown as if to the bridegroom and
05Parp4    97:3|and adorned you with ornaments as a bride in His Kingdom
05Parp4    98:6|you to appoint anyone else as marzpan
05Parp4    98:7|grace and adept prudence. But as for mortals, I boldly say
05Parp4    98:12|that (the appointment of Vahan as marzpan) would be good both
05Parp4    99:0|Mamikoneans and general of Armenia, as marzpan of the land of
05Parp4    99:1|they established and confirmed him as marzpan over the land of
05Parp4    99:7|David crowns his son Solomon as king
05Parp4    100:0|lamb, the liberation of Israel, as through the sacrifice of the
05Parp4    100:20|member of the body, barren as a plant and tasteless, in
05Parp4    100:22|Jewish people drank with debauchery as the book of the great
05Parp4    100:27|who are weary and who, as we said before, bear heavy
05Parp4    100:28|As for you who are now
05Parp4    100:28|bringing their confessions and tears as is demanded of them
05Parp4    100:33|pause and without so much as catching your breath
06Khor1    1:5|on account of our reason, as it is said, we are
06Khor1    1:6|that you must be recognized as superior to all your predecessors
06Khor1    1:6|inscription in such a monument as this
06Khor1    1:7|in order to leave this as an immortal memorial to you
06Khor1    1:7|all the Armenian noble families as these are found in certain
06Khor1    2:2|surprised at this, that although, as is clear to all, many
06Khor1    2:3|results of learned studies-just as that Ptolemy who is also
06Khor1    2:4|be unlearned and defame us as uneducated and ignorant in that
06Khor1    2:4|who was king of Egypt as king of the Greeks
06Khor1    2:5|he had subdued the Greeks as well under his power, he
06Khor1    2:7|other nations’ kings and temples - as we find the ones who
06Khor1    2:9|they are to be praised as philosophers for their efforts and
06Khor1    3:8|to me that nowadays, just as in the past, the Armenians

06Khor1    3:11|a book near to me,” as is said in Job [Job 37:20], or
06Khor1    3:11|without error from the beginning as far as you, or starting
06Khor1    3:11|from the beginning as far as you, or starting from you
06Khor1    4:3|all-merciful God rewarded him as a shepherd and guide for
06Khor1    4:5|reckon the number of patriarchs as ten, including Xisut’ra
06Khor1    4:6|if one were to count as years the periods named after
06Khor1    4:9|dealing with two future events, as Josephus says, although their location
06Khor1    4:14|So as these were accepted and known
06Khor1    4:16|commandment, because of his evil, as has been said, he was
06Khor1    4:19|in two ways: either naming as of something forgotten or summoning
06Khor1    4:20|Now the naming as of something forgotten is inappropriate
06Khor1    4:23|a worthy and pleasing life, as He who was pleased knows
06Khor1    4:29|was washed away and purified as if by a flood-as
06Khor1    4:29|as if by a flood-as happened to those who were
06Khor1    4:30|with the name of son as a famous, notable, and worthy
06Khor1    5:1|the three sons of Noah as far as Abraham, Ninos, and
06Khor1    5:1|sons of Noah as far as Abraham, Ninos, and Aram; and
06Khor1    5:2|to compile and so laborious as the investigation of the times
06Khor1    5:2|sons of Noah, so long as it is desired to examine
06Khor1    5:3|Scripture has separated its own as its special nation and has
06Khor1    5:3|the genealogies of the others as contemptible and unworthy of being
06Khor1    5:4|begin our exposition with these, as far as possible and according
06Khor1    5:4|exposition with these, as far as possible and according to what
06Khor1    5:38|all the chronographers put Caynan as fourth after Noah and third
06Khor1    5:40|And Mestrayim, placed as fourth from Noah and third
06Khor1    5:44|tells us all this, saying as follows: “Ninos, son of Arbeḷ
06Khor1    5:45|whom the lascivious Semiramis killed, as follows: “Ara the Handsome, son
06Khor1    5:47|he says in one chapter as follows: “At the beginning of
06Khor1    6:2|the three sons of Noah as far as Abraham and Ninos
06Khor1    6:2|sons of Noah as far as Abraham and Ninos and Aram

06Khor1    6:5|But as for the beginning i.e
06Khor1    6:5|they lie. For example, just as they call the first created
06Khor1    6:16|to be the truth, nonetheless, as I am persuaded, there is
06Khor1    6:20|But as for certain old unwritten tales
06Khor1    6:21|men, learned in philosophy, spoke as follows: “Old men, when I
06Khor1    7:2|and Bēl is Nimrod, just as the Egyptians, in agreement with
06Khor1    8:4|He gave him Nisibis as his capital and established as
06Khor1    8:4|as his capital and established as his frontiers part of western

06Khor1    9:2|whose amplitude of mind is as that of the sky above
06Khor1    9:2|and colleague, established by you as king of Armenia, may you
06Khor1    9:3|assiduous in everything so far as my mind and understanding were
06Khor1    9:5|rank here are quite uncertain, as are the cults for the
06Khor1    9:13|received it and esteeming it as the foremost of his treasures
06Khor1    9:14|curiosity, extending our ancestral principalities as far back as Sardanapal of
06Khor1    9:14|ancestral principalities as far back as Sardanapal of the Chaldaeans and
06Khor1    9:15|this book the account begins as follows
06Khor1    12:5|he begat Aramaneak in Babylon, as we said above
06Khor1    12:9|valiant men and renowned, just as those of our own time
06Khor1    12:12|being a three-day journey, as one of our countrymen said
06Khor1    12:12|well-girded man to encircle-as it gradually rose to a
06Khor1    12:34|This Geḷam, as we said, after some years
06Khor1    13:2|have undertaken at your command as a greater delight than those
06Khor1    13:3|an industrious and patriotic man, as the same historian shows, and
06Khor1    13:5|boastful and war-loving man, as the same historian indicates

06Khor1    13:7|And his land as far as the mountain called Zarasp he
06Khor1    13:9|kingdom might fall into danger as he planned such actions made
06Khor1    14:10|So as he was spending a long
06Khor1    14:14|old inhabitants of the country, as if they were unable to
06Khor1    14:15|same way, from those regions as far as his own border
06Khor1    14:15|from those regions as far as his own border he filled

06Khor1    14:18|his name up to today, as is clear to all, the
06Khor1    14:20|As to why these things were
06Khor1    14:22|in their original books, yet as Mar Abas Catina relates, they
06Khor1    14:23|mentions another reason, namely, that, as I have heard, since Ninos
06Khor1    15:4|or his flight to Crete as I believe, Semiramis freely paraded
06Khor1    15:6|But, as the result was to show
06Khor1    15:6|or put him to flight as to subject and dominate him
06Khor1    15:6|she had become madly enflamed as if she had already seen
06Khor1    15:14|worshipped and honored by us, as they fulfill our pleasures and

06Khor1    16:20|that of all royal works, as we have heard, this is
06Khor1    17:2|As she continually went in the
06Khor1    17:2|built in Armenia, she left as her governor and prefect for
06Khor1    17:6|Her husband Ninos had not, as is said, died and been
06Khor1    17:8|them all; only Ninuas remained, as we said above
06Khor1    19:3|our collection has been made, as is clear to God; but
06Khor1    19:5|And as these matters are so arranged
06Khor1    19:6|order of events to be as follows: After killing his wanton

06Khor1    23:25|not believe such foolish words, as there is no vestige or

06Khor1    28:6|with the outside and abroad as will freely enable us, through
06Khor1    30:2|when Azhdahak had established Tigranuhi as queen he did nothing in
06Khor1    30:8|two realms for mutual discussions, as if some important matter or
06Khor1    30:18|ran right through him, and as he drew it back again

06Khor1    32:2|for you too, O reader; as was the man and his
06Khor1    32:3|of heroes are heroes; but as for those of second rank
06Khor1    32:12|descendants come the families known as Zarehavanik’
06Khor1    34:9|But as it is the desire of
06Khor1    34:18|found in a Chaldaean book as the Centaur Piurid
06Khor1    34:19|much by his own valor as by force and cunning. He
06Khor1    34:21|friends to come and go as freely at night as in
06Khor1    34:21|go as freely at night as in the day
06Khor1    34:23|this proved impossible for him. As we said above, for the
06Khor1    34:26|As for the birth of dragons
06Khor1    34:27|of the mountain mentioned above. As they pressed hard upon him
06Khor2    1:2|shall now describe for you as a second book the various
06Khor2    2:2|As we have said, sixty years
06Khor2    2:10|a third of this world, as we learn from the fourth
06Khor2    3:3|The latter, as we wrote in our first
06Khor2    3:3|authority over his territories; and as far as he was able
06Khor2    3:3|his territories; and as far as he was able, he fixed
06Khor2    3:3|He instituted principalities and established as the dynasts of the principalities
06Khor2    4:3|There he stayed many days, as we must admit, for they
06Khor2    6:3|areas with mountains he arranged as hunting places. Koḷ with its
06Khor2    6:3|its hot climate he used as parks for vineyards and gardens
06Khor2    7:7|men, lancers and swordsmen; and as the head of their principality
06Khor2    7:11|a certain Gabaḷ, and Abēl as steward and protocol officer. And
06Khor2    7:16|for sacrifice, and the Havuni as falconers and keepers of falcons
06Khor2    7:17|and by advancement were ennobled as relatives of the kings
06Khor2    7:19|But later, as I hear, the Persian monarchy
06Khor2    7:20|from the first kings, just as now in Georgia does the
06Khor2    7:21|same family, and he set as their commander Hayr, prince of
06Khor2    7:21|of the region from Azerbaijan as far as Chuash and Nakhchavan
06Khor2    7:21|region from Azerbaijan as far as Chuash and Nakhchavan; he was
06Khor2    8:5|Armenian is spoken, he established as military governors the two princes
06Khor2    8:7|plain from the river Araxes as far as the fortress called
06Khor2    8:7|the river Araxes as far as the fortress called Hnarakert. And
06Khor2    8:10|of Chavakh, Koḷb, Tsob, Dzor, as far as the fortress of
06Khor2    8:10|Koḷb, Tsob, Dzor, as far as the fortress of Hnarakert
06Khor2    8:12|Opposite the Caucasus Mountain as governor of the north he
06Khor2    8:12|whom Alexander brought and left as prince over the captives from
06Khor2    8:12|peoples that Nebuchadnezzar had brought, as Abydenus narrates in these terms
06Khor2    8:15|As governor of the west he
06Khor2    8:16|contemptible lies about him, just as the Persians say that Ṙostom
06Khor2    8:23|the inhabitants and established them as lords, naming them after their
06Khor2    8:29|house of Sanasar he appointed as great bdeashkh and governor of
06Khor2    8:29|the Tigris River, granting him as provinces Ardzn and the district
06Khor2    8:32|But as for the Ṙshtuni and the
06Khor2    8:35|built in numerous other places, as well as important and populous
06Khor2    8:35|numerous other places, as well as important and populous villages
06Khor2    8:44|should live with the king as heir to the throne, and
06Khor2    9:3|of Pontus honored this column as a work of the gods
06Khor2    10:5|And as a closer witness the Ecclesiastical
06Khor2    11:2|of Arshakan, king of Persia. As his fortunes progressed, he did
06Khor2    11:3|Arshakan under his own authority as king of Persia, and likewise
06Khor2    11:3|likewise Tigran his own son as king of Armenia
06Khor2    11:6|His sister Artasham he gave as wife to a certain Mithridates
06Khor2    11:6|over the prisoners from Iberia, as we narrated above. And he
06Khor2    12:1|lakes Chroesus prisoner and sends as spoils to Armenia the images
06Khor2    12:2|stone to form a cairn as an indication of the multitude
06Khor2    12:3|to the west and took as prisoner Chroesus, king of Lydia
06Khor2    12:8|Artashēs fled and was killed, as they say, by his own
06Khor2    13:7|Polycrates speaks as follows: “Artashēs the Parthian is
06Khor2    13:13|Scamadros also writes as follows: “The haughty Chroesus of
06Khor2    13:18|land he was borne along as if sailing the sea, over
06Khor2    13:22|kings with the one name - as is the custom of many
06Khor2    14:6|As his first task he wished
06Khor2    14:9|But the statue of Aphrodite, as the beloved of Heracles, he
06Khor2    14:16|the Jews, Alexandra - also known as Messalina - who was the wife
06Khor2    16:3|Euphrates to Egypt, alleging Ptolemy as an excuse
06Khor2    18:4|Mithridates; no longer regarding him as his cousin, he did not
06Khor2    18:5|Caesar. From him he received as a principality the city of
06Khor2    19:3|willingly kept the second rank, as was lawful, and restored to
06Khor2    19:10|he himself promised to act as intercessor
06Khor2    19:15|doctor was sent by Antigonus as if to heal him, but
06Khor2    22:3|established his brothers and sisters as heirs in the provinces of

06Khor2    26:11|Christ, worms grew inside him, as Josephus narrates. He sent his
06Khor2    27:6|are of the same family as that hero
06Khor2    28:5|would reign with his descendants, as he had planned; his brothers
06Khor2    28:5|over all other Persian nobility, as being truly offspring of kings
06Khor2    28:7|reigning line he distinguished them as three lines with the following
06Khor2    29:7|help of the brave Armenians, as by divine providence to avenge
06Khor2    30:6|and truly believed in Him as the Son of God, saying
06Khor2    30:7|of his pains. It ran as follows
06Khor2    31:3|without medicines or drugs. For, as is said, you cause the
06Khor2    31:9|with a letter, which ran as follows
06Khor2    32:3|Now as for your writing to me
06Khor2    33:12|worker called Addē, ordained him as bishop over Edessa, and left
06Khor2    33:17|hidden from your majesty, yet as your friend I am informing
06Khor2    33:22|that they should worship Christ as the true God
06Khor2    33:31|And as for the people of the
06Khor2    33:38|the letter in his archive, as he had done with others
06Khor2    33:42|to the governorship of Nineveh, as you wish
06Khor2    33:43|But as for your writing to me
06Khor2    33:44|be able to hear him, as may also your father Artashēs
06Khor2    33:46|to Artashēs, king of Persia, as follows
06Khor2    34:4|All this, as we have said, others have
06Khor2    34:7|of silk embroidered with gold, as he previously used to make
06Khor2    34:11|have recorded this very briefly as it has been related by
06Khor2    34:12|apostle Bartholomew also drew Armenia as his lot. He was martyred
06Khor2    34:13|But as for Simon, who drew Persia
06Khor2    34:13|for Simon, who drew Persia as his lot, I can say
06Khor2    35:4|was standing below giving orders as to how it should be
06Khor2    36:8|But as far as we understand the
06Khor2    36:8|But as far as we understand the matter it
06Khor2    36:10|the intestines by an arrow as if in revenge for the
06Khor2    37:4|there are stories about him as follows
06Khor2    37:5|children after an illicit intercourse, as Pasiphae bore the Minotaur
06Khor2    37:8|He was appointed by Sanatruk as overseer in many affairs and
06Khor2    37:9|from the Bagratuni family acting as coronant
06Khor2    37:15|honored among the Persian generals - as was the child among the
06Khor2    37:15|king’s sons - and they received as residence the provinces called Bat
06Khor2    40:3|appointed his own brother Eruaz as high priest
06Khor2    42:4|gardens of sweet-smelling flowers, as the circle of the eye
06Khor2    42:9|bestowed on the Kamsarakan family as faithful allies and blood relatives
06Khor2    43:2|the king to give him as a gift whatever he might
06Khor2    44:4|And as it was springtime, therefore all
06Khor2    45:7|to whom he gave much as make enemies of those to
06Khor2    46:3|Esteeming as nothing the host of his
06Khor2    46:13|gained the victory but died as a consequence
06Khor2    46:16|him hard in the night as far as the city gate
06Khor2    46:16|in the night as far as the city gate
06Khor2    46:19|When morning dawned, as master of the field he
06Khor2    47:6|exploits of his father. For as we have said, half of
06Khor2    48:6|them from his own treasures, as a gift of thanks to
06Khor2    48:10|and composer of temple histories, as are also many other deeds
06Khor2    49:3|all this, as we said, is revealed to
06Khor2    49:7|the city even further himself as the royal capital
06Khor2    50:11|This episode the storytellers rehearse, as they sing their fables, in
06Khor2    50:12|The truth of this is as follows
06Khor2    50:13|gave much lac and gold as payment and received the maiden
06Khor2    51:5|for her beauty and carriage, as a concubine for Artashēs
06Khor2    52:4|and someone else was ruling as a tyrant over the land
06Khor2    52:4|to flight, restored Sat’inik’s brother as lord of his people, and
06Khor2    52:4|his opponents, bringing them all as secure captives to Artashat
06Khor2    52:5|from which they were brought as captives is called Artaz to
06Khor2    53:6|Therefore as a just reward for his
06Khor2    53:9|near to those parts, and as he greatly loved her, he
06Khor2    53:11|household. And Mazhan he established as chief priest of the god
06Khor2    54:3|and drove them quickly back as far as the very wide
06Khor2    54:3|them quickly back as far as the very wide valley of
06Khor2    54:5|army he threw it back as far as the borders of
06Khor2    54:5|threw it back as far as the borders of Caesarea
06Khor2    55:8|in the town of Altars as chief priest
06Khor2    57:3|stature and strength called Samson, as is the Jewish custom to
06Khor2    57:4|But it is true, as one can indeed now see
06Khor2    57:6|estates and were called Amatuni, as being foreigners
06Khor2    58:2|come with her, were established as a family and principality of
06Khor2    58:2|family and principality of Armenia, as kin of the great queen
06Khor2    60:3|he had sprung from heaven as their savior from affliction and
06Khor2    60:7|after his own name, just as Hadrian was calledsun
06Khor2    60:9|own supervisors. In his entourage as secretary was the man who
06Khor2    60:12|a civilized fashion and not as barbarians
06Khor2    60:13|troops of soldiers, all armed as if to march out to
06Khor2    60:15|the tomb were willing deaths, as we said above
06Khor2    61:7|of Artavazd may be strengthened, as they say
06Khor2    61:8|truth of the matter is as we said above
06Khor2    61:10|singers express in the fable as follows: The descendants of the
06Khor2    62:3|occupied with hunting and amusements, as they say
06Khor2    63:9|took a vase of flowers as a weapon, and drove the
06Khor2    63:14|similarly Vazaria is Varaz, just as Shambat is Smbat
06Khor2    64:6|the other noble families. But as for the lesser families either
06Khor2    64:9|So far as was possible we have avoided
06Khor2    64:11|I beg you now again, as often before, not to impose
06Khor2    64:11|brings equal danger to you as to me
06Khor2    65:3|great town; this was where, as his mother was going to
06Khor2    65:4|say in the fables: Vardgēs as a child left the province
06Khor2    65:10|soldiers and scattered their host as corpses over the plain. Pursuing
06Khor2    65:13|all their active men, and as a token of his own
06Khor2    66:3|for he became famous as a historian in the days
06Khor2    66:5|among the barbarous pagans. And as he was not welcomed, he
06Khor2    66:6|the sacrifices and be received as guests for the night
06Khor2    67:2|As we said, after Vaḷarsh his
06Khor2    68:5|offspring were called Pahlavk’ just as those of his brother Vaḷarshak
06Khor2    68:8|three sons and a daughter, as I said earlier, whose names
06Khor2    68:9|his blandishing and deceitful words as because he subdued them by
06Khor2    68:11|so that they were called as follows: Karēn Pahlav, Surēn Pahlav
06Khor2    68:13|here do not blame us as one who does superfluous work
06Khor2    69:3|After Arshavir, as we said, Artashēs ruled for
06Khor2    69:6|in subjection, sometimes in war, as relate Palephatos and Porphyry and
06Khor2    71:4|As soon as Khosrov, king of
06Khor2    71:4|As soon as Khosrov, king of Armenia, heard
06Khor2    72:4|Egypt and the desert, from as far away as the shores
06Khor2    72:4|desert, from as far away as the shores of the Pontic
06Khor2    72:7|much happy at his victory as upset at the falling away
06Khor2    72:8|more illustrious nation far inland as far as Bahl. They brought
06Khor2    72:8|nation far inland as far as Bahl. They brought him word
06Khor2    73:5|over Artashir and pursued him as far as India
06Khor2    73:5|and pursued him as far as India
06Khor2    74:2|Now Artashir fled from Khosrov as far as the land of
06Khor2    74:2|fled from Khosrov as far as the land of India; being
06Khor2    74:6|army pretended to pursue him as if expelling him as a
06Khor2    74:6|him as if expelling him as a fugitive to Assyria. They
06Khor2    75:8|But as for his account of events
06Khor2    75:9|But as for what happened in the
06Khor2    77:3|in the fortress of Ani, as if hidden in a tranquil
06Khor2    77:7|that Vaḷarshak had set up as the images of his ancestors
06Khor2    80:13|themselves, but honor followed them, as Agathangelos informs
06Khor2    81:9|him with all his entourage, as if exiled, to his governors
06Khor2    81:11|And because, as they say, the Chinese are
06Khor2    81:13|say no one knows. And as for the garments which among
06Khor2    82:8|about the sons of Gregory, as he had learned about them
06Khor2    83:3|ordered her to be inscribed as an Arsacid, to be vested
06Khor2    83:7|own son-in-law Constantine as his successor
06Khor2    83:13|tyrants from before his face, as Agathangelos informs you in brief
06Khor2    84:5|called Oḷakan, where he had as refuge the inhabitants of the
06Khor2    84:9|to the regions of Tarawn as if in revolt against the
06Khor2    85:5|much to spur his horse as to grasp the sinew in
06Khor2    85:6|Trdat, in pursuit, chased them as far as the land of
06Khor2    85:6|pursuit, chased them as far as the land of the Huns
06Khor2    86:5|the crags of the mountains as the air darkened - although his
06Khor2    86:9|to destroy the idols, just as he had done himself, and
06Khor2    86:9|would grant them a pastor as guide
06Khor2    86:12|mornings from their roofs, just as they had done previously
06Khor2    86:14|same in shape and size as the wooden cross, and it
06Khor2    86:16|and by her zeal crowned as if in blood
06Khor2    86:17|the Alans and the Caspians, as far as the borders of
06Khor2    86:17|and the Caspians, as far as the borders of the Massagetae
06Khor2    86:17|the borders of the Massagetae, as Agathangelos informs you
06Khor2    88:7|his love, he feared him as a real enemy, for he
06Khor2    88:8|hands. Being merciful to him as an old man and his
06Khor2    88:13|of the column, which had as an inscription the mystical name
06Khor2    88:17|us, though others may think as they wish
06Khor2    89:8|on account of his name as a confessor, as indeed they
06Khor2    89:8|his name as a confessor, as indeed they so named him
06Khor2    90:5|from the water, gave him as inheritance the great property of
06Khor2    90:5|and the province of Shirak, as to his kinsman and loyal
06Khor2    90:8|the province of the same as far as the end of
06Khor2    90:8|of the same as far as the end of the great
06Khor2    91:3|left his own son Aristakes as his successor and remained himself
06Khor2    91:19|He, Gregory, as is clear to all, was
06Khor2    91:19|land he arose for us as a true dawn, a spiritual
06Khor2    92:2|must use very glorious speech as of the coworker and equal
06Khor2    92:2|my Illuminator by his rank as martyr alone, though I would
06Khor2    92:5|to the order of events as they concern him
06Khor2    92:8|and living in mountain caves as a hermit
06Khor2    92:11|they gave him a draught, as once in old times the
06Khor2    92:13|speak lamenting over my own, as did Paul for his own
06Khor2    92:24|wild loquacity. But by giving as fuel to their irrationality your
06Khor2    92:25|priest and minister for himself, as Scripture says [cf. 2 Chron. 13:9]. Just as now
06Khor2    92:25|himself, as Scripture says [cf. 2 Chron. 13:9]. Just as now there are many who
06Khor2    92:27|he speak modestly and gently as he was instructed, “lest anyone
06Khor2    92:28|torrents of their loquacity flow as from a fountain, as one
06Khor2    92:28|flow as from a fountain, as one of the ancients said
06Khor2    92:31|here let this discourse cease, as I am weary of speaking
06Khor3    1:2|But as far as our ability and
06Khor3    1:2|But as far as our ability and the records
06Khor3    2:3|bound by an ungraspable hand, as happened in the time of
06Khor3    2:3|of Elisha of old or as the Jews were struck in
06Khor3    2:3|Armenia, which remained in anarchy as the princely houses had risen
06Khor3    3:4|trusting in this, gave them as bishop the young Grigoris, the
06Khor3    4:2|As we find it said in
06Khor3    4:4|and a letter, which ran as follows
06Khor3    5:6|and a letter, which ran as follows
06Khor3    6:3|first was Bagarat the aspet, as general of the western force
06Khor3    6:3|Georgia and bdeashkh of Gugark’, as general of the northern army
06Khor3    6:3|Vahan, prince of the Amatunik’, as general of the eastern force
06Khor3    6:3|Manachihr, prince of the Ṙshtunik’, as general of the southern army
06Khor3    7:3|to free the common captives as being in no way culpable
06Khor3    8:3|he was not so small as Alexander of Macedon who was
06Khor3    10:4|of Armenia to Arshavir Kamsarakan, as the preeminent and most honorable
06Khor3    10:6|army under his brother Nerseh, as if he intended to make
06Khor3    11:5|in the village of T’ordan, as if he had seen with
06Khor3    15:5|Tiran a letter, which ran as follows
06Khor3    17:3|His army returned with Jovian as emperor, but he died on
06Khor3    18:3|of Vahan Amatuni he appointed as commander of the Armenian eastern
06Khor3    18:4|feet. This signified that just as the lion is the most
06Khor3    18:4|and the book contains wisdom, as does the Roman empire
06Khor3    20:10|in every village to serve as inns for strangers, and hospices
06Khor3    20:11|and huts for solitaries. And as their fathers and overseers he
06Khor3    21:7|And he brought as a wife for Arshak a
06Khor3    22:4|Then Gnel took as his wife a certain P’aṙandzem
06Khor3    22:11|his sons whom they kept as the crown prince and for
06Khor3    23:9|that hunt to kill Gnel, as if accidentally, when he wished
06Khor3    23:10|because of the king’s order as because of the desire of
06Khor3    23:11|royal city of Zarishat, and as if innocent made great lamentation
06Khor3    25:6|deprived him of his rank, as if this had occurred at
06Khor3    27:3|Masis he built a town as a gathering place for criminals
06Khor3    29:1|his nobles, and Pap’s going as a hostage to Byzantium
06Khor3    29:8|Arshak saw that he had as enemies Shapuh and Valens and
06Khor3    29:12|with all the nobles’ sons as hostages, and return
06Khor3    29:13|letter of Arshak’s, which ran as follows
06Khor3    30:3|to exile Nersēs the Great as a deceiver and traitor to
06Khor3    31:4|his abandoned palace at Armavir as his relatives on the pretext
06Khor3    31:8|His barns were replenished miraculously as in the time of Elijah
06Khor3    32:2|for dogs. And he himself, as if crowned by a great
06Khor3    33:4|not confess the Holy Spirit as Lord or as worthy of
06Khor3    33:4|Holy Spirit as Lord or as worthy of worship and praise
06Khor3    34:5|receive many blessings from me as from a close relative
06Khor3    35:2|he was demanding their wives as well as those of the
06Khor3    35:2|demanding their wives as well as those of the princes who
06Khor3    35:11|abandon the Christian religion, but as he refused to do that
06Khor3    36:3|He gave him as wife his own sister Ormizdukht
06Khor3    37:8|followed them closely. And just as a storm blows the leaves
06Khor3    37:8|their lances and cut them as cold corpses to the ground
06Khor3    37:9|protective shields of the Greeks, as into a fortified city, and
06Khor3    37:10|surrounded Pap’s line with shields as with a wall
06Khor3    37:11|similarly accoutred. One could see as it were a wall: most
06Khor3    37:11|of chains and leather, appeared as firm as stone. Above them
06Khor3    37:11|and leather, appeared as firm as stone. Above them Hew standards
06Khor3    37:18|brave warrior to the ground as if he had been struck
06Khor3    37:22|and it is my privilege as aspet to crown you according
06Khor3    38:3|to the Kamsarakan family, not as avaricious confiscations of his father
06Khor3    38:3|of his father Arshak, but as rewards for the services of
06Khor3    40:5|And as for his valor and bravery
06Khor3    40:6|He came as king to our country in
06Khor3    40:10|Therefore, as in his youth he had
06Khor3    40:16|was from the same family as Albianos and held office for

06Khor3    65:8|money to be given him as an eloquent and stout-hearted
06Khor3    65:9|same fashion for the future as it was established by Artashir

07Seb1    46:46|held elsewhere. And we consider as follows: that your God-loving
07Seb1    46:47|addition to him we have as teachers the holy fathers, speakers
07Seb1    46:48|and ruined our land, just as they destroyed the population of
07Seb1    46:48|literature. But in so far as there have remained in various

07Seb1    46:64|As for the Lord’s sacrament which
07Seb1    46:64|with great discretion, it is as follows. We do not have
07Seb1    46:64|that those who have married as virgins may freely participate in
07Seb1    46:65|But as for those (married) a second
07Seb1    46:67|not to accept a bastard as heir. Lycurgus the Lacedaemonian laid
07Seb1    46:74|Concerning other councils, as we said above, we do
07Seb1    46:74|know anything for sure. But as the old teachers have said
07Seb1    46:74|teachers have said, they defined as holy and true the council
07Seb1    46:79|that reason the Virgin Mary as Theotokos, (who) bore according to
07Seb1    46:80|speak of proximity and adherence, as if he gained his hypostasis

07Seb1    48:7|send you troops in support, as many as you may wish
07Seb1    48:7|troops in support, as many as you may wish. I swear
07Seb1    48:8|shall give you a subsidy as assistance; and we shall decide

07Seb1    49:11|note: ’In the same way as St Gregory.’ The king
07Seb1    49:11|note: ’Do you recognize him as Catholicos?’ He note: ’Yes
07Seb1    49:11|with him?’ He note: ’As with St. Gregory.’ The
07Seb1    49:12|can counter your beneficent commands? As for this country, all orders
07Seb1    49:14|beneficent and pious reign forever, as you rule over all sea
07Seb1    49:20|Armenia, Iberia, Ałuank’, and Siwnik’, as far as the Caucasus mountain

07Seb1    50:8|pity, Lord, be upon us, as we hope in you
07Seb1    50:17|As they were setting out on
07Seb1    50:20|from above; but it was as if one might fall into
07Seb1    51:2|each year [365] sacks of drams. As for those who could not
07Seb1    52:7|all the churches. They seized as hostages the leading princes of
07Seb1    52:11|Nersēs departed with the king, as I said above, and went

08Ghev1    10:3|the emperor sent numerous troops as an auxiliary force under the
08Ghev1    10:8|hunters, and quickly went there. As soon as they had arrived
08Ghev1    10:8|quickly went there. As soon as they had arrived, the Arabs
08Ghev1    10:11|Now, just as You sent an angel to
08Ghev1    10:11|servants, even though many times, as sinners, we have displeased Your
08Ghev1    10:13|we will free you alive. As a result, they even made
08Ghev1    10:16|sort of evil upon us as they attacked, keeping the inhabitants

08Ghev1    11:11|across the river. As soon as the crossing was finished, the
08Ghev1    12:0|Sulaiman [715-717] succeeded al-Walid as caliph, ruling for two years
08Ghev1    12:3|As soon as the Arabs discovered
08Ghev1    12:3|As soon as the Arabs discovered this inscribed
08Ghev1    12:4|city of the Huns. Now as soon as the inhabitants of
08Ghev1    12:4|the Huns. Now as soon as the inhabitants of the land
08Ghev1    12:8|the Caucasus Mountains, destroying forests as he went. Thus was he
08Ghev1    13:0|After Sulaiman, ’Umar [II] succeeded as caliph [717-720], ruling for two years
08Ghev1    13:6|what Jesus Himself has said as to His person, but have
08Ghev1    13:7|you had doubts, and regarded as insufficient the testimony that Jesus
08Ghev1    13:8|by fleshly creatures, who inasmuch as they were sons of Adam
08Ghev1    13:11|change all the laws, such as that of circumcision into baptism
08Ghev1    13:12|served, according to the law, as an instrument of torture
08Ghev1    13:13|gives testimony to our lawgiver, as being the equal and the
08Ghev1    14:2|of smiting with hard words, as with stones, those who manifest
08Ghev1    14:2|mystery of the truth. But as your letter, in its opening
08Ghev1    14:3|doctrines, which you refer to as imaginary
08Ghev1    14:6|living during the same epoch as your legislator Muhammad, and these
08Ghev1    14:7|profess a religion so marvelous as ours, hearken, if it please
08Ghev1    14:7|hearkening to me, you will, as Isaiah says, eat of the
08Ghev1    14:11|Haughty as you are in your despotism
08Ghev1    14:12|His own person, regarding that as something doubtful and uncertain
08Ghev1    14:14|Christ, and not oppose Him, as they have done
08Ghev1    14:19|worthy of confidence not, however, as mere man and deprived of
08Ghev1    14:19|the Word of God, but as perfect man and perfect God
08Ghev1    14:21|As to what you affirm about
08Ghev1    14:27|abovementioned holy men, represents them as the favored servants of God
08Ghev1    14:27|compels you to regard them as such, whereas he himself rejects
08Ghev1    14:29|who did it, human beings as they were and descendants of
08Ghev1    14:30|reject the other half. However, as you are not informed, listen
08Ghev1    14:31|books received by the Hebrews as well as by us
08Ghev1    14:31|by the Hebrews as well as by us
08Ghev1    14:36|Prophets, of Isaiah and Jeremiah, as well as Daniel and Ezekiel
08Ghev1    14:36|Isaiah and Jeremiah, as well as Daniel and Ezekiel all contain
08Ghev1    14:38|being our belief in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of
08Ghev1    14:38|Christ, the Son of God as preached by the Prophets. The
08Ghev1    14:40|to exist during Christ’s period, as the Gospels affirm. You yourself
08Ghev1    14:41|they were pleasant and served as solid testimonies to His economy
08Ghev1    14:42|permit them to be dispersed as we see in our own
08Ghev1    14:43|also some of the Prophets, as Ezekiel says of himself that
08Ghev1    14:44|history of Esther took place. As far as the captives taking
08Ghev1    14:44|Esther took place. As far as the captives taking the Testament
08Ghev1    14:45|and he composed everything infallibly, as is proved by the fact
08Ghev1    14:46|said thatin their quality as men, the writers of the
08Ghev1    14:47|you not regard your Muhammad as a man? Yet, relying on
08Ghev1    14:47|near the servants of God.” As for God Himself, Satan never
08Ghev1    14:48|authoritative people. This will sufficed as concerns the Scriptures
08Ghev1    14:50|nor through a single prophet, as you assume in supposing that
08Ghev1    14:51|Thus, as we have already said, God
08Ghev1    14:52|let every-thing get falsified, as you pretend, why then speak
08Ghev1    14:54|As regards to the resurrection, God
08Ghev1    14:55|As regards to judgment, He says
08Ghev1    14:55|requite those who hate me.” [Deut. 32:41]. As regards hell (He says): “For
08Ghev1    14:56|As to your statement thatMatthew
08Ghev1    14:56|brought down from the heavens, as you do for your Furqan
08Ghev1    14:60|blasphemy, in fact, is unpardonable, as the Lord says in the
08Ghev1    14:61|As to what the Lord has
08Ghev1    14:62|As I have already said earlier
08Ghev1    14:67|have come to our attention as follows: The Kouzi, the Sabari
08Ghev1    14:68|regarding death at your hands as the foremost of meritorious works
08Ghev1    14:68|acts take place among you. As for yourself, have you not
08Ghev1    14:71|bitter hostility among us such as one sees among you. It
08Ghev1    14:71|administering baptism to them, just as with pagans, indeed, God has
08Ghev1    14:72|As for us, we are accustomed
08Ghev1    14:72|accustomed to designate the Christians as seventy races, which have all
08Ghev1    14:73|strange that Christians, who live as foreigners afar off, have not
08Ghev1    14:73|traditions of the truth, such as they ought to have. Yet
08Ghev1    14:75|books of other people, dwelling, as you well know, far from
08Ghev1    14:75|certain Hajjaj, named by you as Governor of Persia, who gathered
08Ghev1    14:76|disappear completely. Such a thing as this would have been impossible
08Ghev1    14:78|But I am greatly astonished as you show such disdain with
08Ghev1    14:78|of the Prophets, regarding them as falsified and recomposed by men
08Ghev1    14:79|Or, if you disdain them as corrupt, you ought not to
08Ghev1    14:79|obliged to quote them exactly as they are found in the
08Ghev1    14:82|not permit ourselves to think, as you so often do, that
08Ghev1    14:85|us in the Holy Scriptures; as it is, you give highest
08Ghev1    14:85|consideration to your own will as compared with (divine orders). Consequently
08Ghev1    14:87|is not like ours, which, as long as it has not
08Ghev1    14:87|like ours, which, as long as it has not proceeded from
08Ghev1    14:87|remains incomprehensible (to others), and as soon as it has gone
08Ghev1    14:87|to others), and as soon as it has gone out, decomposes
08Ghev1    14:87|Word is what we recognize as the Word of God, the
08Ghev1    14:87|of a quality so eminent as to surpass the intelligence and
08Ghev1    14:88|the dominance of passion such as is of earth, but as
08Ghev1    14:88|as is of earth, but as the rays are born from
08Ghev1    14:88|are born from the sun, as light originates from fire, and
08Ghev1    14:88|light originates from fire, and as word emanates from reason. This
08Ghev1    14:89|precious before God than man, as you yourself confess (in mentioning
08Ghev1    14:89|to man ought to occupy, as you have said
08Ghev1    14:91|iniquities, and into such unchasteness as I am ashamed to speak
08Ghev1    14:93|compassionate benefactor of men. And, as there existed no other way
08Ghev1    14:94|knowledge gradually, little by little, as I have noted above, until
08Ghev1    14:94|time arrived. This He did as much as He pleased to
08Ghev1    14:94|This He did as much as He pleased to instruct men
08Ghev1    14:95|all that has been said as to His lowering Himself; and
08Ghev1    14:95|all that has been said as to His supremacy, we attribute
08Ghev1    14:95|supremacy, we attribute to Him as to one who is veritably
08Ghev1    14:98|in elevating you, God willing, as by a stairway, even to
08Ghev1    14:105|not to revolt against it, as it really happened, lest strangers
08Ghev1    14:108|This prophecy speaks of Him as a man, yet you see
08Ghev1    14:109|peoples must believe in Him, as you see for yourself. The
08Ghev1    14:111|and by His human (nature) as son of David, terrestrial king
08Ghev1    14:111|son of David, terrestrial king, as we have often told you
08Ghev1    14:112|while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout
08Ghev1    14:112|sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations
08Ghev1    14:113|endure forever, his fame continue as long as the sun. May
08Ghev1    14:113|his fame continue as long as the sun. May men bless
08Ghev1    14:114|as is indicated still more clearly
08Ghev1    14:115|simple man to be dated as from eternal days is not
08Ghev1    14:117|the word Israel is translated as ’penetrating seer’
08Ghev1    14:120|for ever and his throne as the days of the heavens
08Ghev1    14:121|how is it eternal and as the days of the heavens
08Ghev1    14:121|celestial kingdom of Christ, who as to His human nature was
08Ghev1    14:125|And they weighed out as my wages thirty shekels of
08Ghev1    14:125|and handed over to death, as the holy Gospels have told
08Ghev1    14:125|us, which you may read as carefully as you wish and
08Ghev1    14:125|you may read as carefully as you wish and will find
08Ghev1    14:125|and will find it such as we have presented it to
08Ghev1    14:126|he shall be lifted up. As many were astonished at him
08Ghev1    14:127|and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide
08Ghev1    14:130|he was taken away; and as his generation, who considered that
08Ghev1    14:133|of Levi, many years before as I said. Your objections are
08Ghev1    14:136|Law, and for not communicating as the legislation ordains. This objection
08Ghev1    14:137|of adoration of your nation. As to the sacrament of the
08Ghev1    14:138|dealing with them properly. Jesus, as God, had no need of
08Ghev1    14:138|no need of prayers, but as man He prayed in order
08Ghev1    14:142|Never did He say as you pretendGod sent me
08Ghev1    14:142|and going to the Father.” [John 16:28]. As for you, in the passages
08Ghev1    14:143|in His divine nature, inasmuch as He is the Word of
08Ghev1    14:144|Then He adds as follows: “He who rejects me
08Ghev1    14:144|sent me.” [John 12:45,48]. He was sent as a man, and He sent
08Ghev1    14:144|and He sent (His disciples) as God, saying to them: “The
08Ghev1    14:144|are one.” [John 10:30]. In His prayer, as you yourself report, (Jesus) note
08Ghev1    14:146|humiliating expressions (of the Scriptures), as applying to a man, just
08Ghev1    14:146|applying to a man, just as the glorious expressions apply to
08Ghev1    14:146|apply to a true God, as I have mentioned several times
08Ghev1    14:147|His fast of forty days, as by the voice, proved that
08Ghev1    14:147|indignant and approached the Lord as a mere man. In His
08Ghev1    14:147|His full knowledge, acknowledging him as the enemy of our (humanity
08Ghev1    14:148|did not worship (the Lord) as a mere man. It seems
08Ghev1    14:148|adhering to nothing else, so as not to recognize our Lord
08Ghev1    14:148|not to recognize our Lord as God, confessing Him always as
08Ghev1    14:148|as God, confessing Him always as a mere man, comparing Him
08Ghev1    14:149|As for His life-giving death
08Ghev1    14:152|me has seen the Father” [John 14:9], “as the Father knows me and
08Ghev1    14:153|was sent in His quality as man, and in His being
08Ghev1    14:153|man, and in His being as God, He sent (His disciples
08Ghev1    14:153|God, He sent (His disciples): “As the Father has sent me
08Ghev1    14:154|of Jeremiah, changed the type as laid down in the Old
08Ghev1    14:156|Him, announcing thereby His death as the sacrifice of the lamb
08Ghev1    14:157|The true Lamb was preached as none other than this (the
08Ghev1    14:157|dead. Had I recognized you as one who seeks justice, nothing
08Ghev1    14:159|only that it might serve as a sign of nothing other
08Ghev1    14:159|faithfulness and love to God. As for the principal reason why
08Ghev1    14:159|institution), you cannot know it, as observed above
08Ghev1    14:160|As for us, we have not
08Ghev1    14:160|our heart, through the Spirit, as in the above cited promises
08Ghev1    14:160|Law, had not eliminated circumcision, as well as the Sabbath and
08Ghev1    14:160|not eliminated circumcision, as well as the Sabbath and the sacrificial
08Ghev1    14:161|at so modern a time as ours, when God has delivered
08Ghev1    14:162|As for the divine institution of
08Ghev1    14:163|thatI have given you as a light to the nations
08Ghev1    14:164|substituted Sunday for the Sabbath, as you always pretend unwisely. Among
08Ghev1    14:164|yourselves, Friday has been set as the day for assembly, without
08Ghev1    14:165|As for us, we assemble on
08Ghev1    14:167|was for you and such as resemble you that God said
08Ghev1    14:169|His simple command of word, as [Psalm 148] assures us, saying: “He commanded
08Ghev1    14:170|Man, however, considered by you as an impure being, was nevertheless
08Ghev1    14:172|order to save him, since, as I have said, there is
08Ghev1    14:174|things that you like, such as, defilement, murder, blasphemy and other
08Ghev1    14:174|other such crimes, are considered as defiling, rather than the aforementioned
08Ghev1    14:176|to you the following proposition as I perceive you to be
08Ghev1    14:179|As for you, child that you
08Ghev1    14:180|the uncircumcised stranger whose corpse, as soon as it was cast
08Ghev1    14:180|stranger whose corpse, as soon as it was cast into the
08Ghev1    14:182|putting yourself under eternal death, as it has been predicted by
08Ghev1    14:184|Word of God borne thereon, as we learned from a commandment
08Ghev1    14:185|our foreheads with the cross, as (sign) of the Word of
08Ghev1    14:187|As for pictures, we do not
08Ghev1    14:187|the Cherubim in the tabernacle as witnesses
08Ghev1    14:188|to us from their times as their living representation. Having them
08Ghev1    14:188|has glorified His saints. But as for the wood and the
08Ghev1    14:189|Ka’aba, the dwelling of Abraham as you say. As a matter
08Ghev1    14:189|of Abraham as you say. As a matter of fact Abraham
08Ghev1    14:191|demons into that very desert, as He says in the Gospel
08Ghev1    14:193|they would have destroyed you as by fire in a single
08Ghev1    14:193|fire in a single day. As it is, they are able
08Ghev1    14:194|to the tilling of fields. As consequence of this, some of
08Ghev1    14:194|of having affair with women, as if it were a matter
08Ghev1    14:195|cause of all this evil? As for the example of David
08Ghev1    14:195|David, who took Uriah’s wife, as you remind me, it is
08Ghev1    14:196|holding sin to be such as it is, and that is
08Ghev1    14:196|are tired of your wives, as of some kind of nourishment
08Ghev1    14:200|we have represented the former as the treasurer of God. That
08Ghev1    14:203|inseparable from His humanity, and as true God engendered from true
08Ghev1    14:207|only one and the same, as the Prophet himself clearly affirms
08Ghev1    14:209|one and the same man, as the Prophet reveals clearly by
08Ghev1    14:209|Here the horseman who appeared as two before was only one
08Ghev1    14:211|and of the Holy Spirit. As for destiny and knowledge of
08Ghev1    14:211|knowledge of the future, and as to the demons who belong
08Ghev1    14:212|the same faith in them as the pagans, whose abominable debaucheries
08Ghev1    14:213|As for us, instructed in and
08Ghev1    14:214|is not food and drink”, as says the Holy Spirit, “but
08Ghev1    14:216|a name precious and incomparable, as predicted by the Prophet Isaiah

08Ghev1    17:1|of (the former caliph) ’Umar, as though he had inappropriately spent
08Ghev1    18:1|ruining Artawe’t and Gandzak shahastan as well as the districts called

08Ghev1    31:7|and (even) sent his son as a hostage to the land
08Ghev1    32:2|Now as for Gagik, lord of the

08Ghev1    34:47|As auxiliaries they called upon Ashot’s
08Ghev1    34:49|folk were attracted to them as foot soldiers for the battle
08Ghev1    34:50|and beat and tortured him as a liar. (Hamazasp) himself boastfully

09Draskh1    60:16|sister’s son, and considering this as something that could be settled
09Draskh1    60:18|fastnesses of his realm. And as it was near the time
09Draskh1    60:21|sent one of the bishops as an envoy to prince Sahak
09Draskh1    60:21|of such severe disaster, such as I have witnessed? Didn’t the
09Draskh1    60:32|of death, the king reasoned as follows: “Should I let go
09Draskh1    60:32|would be rescued by others, as the case was with Vasak

09Draskh1    62:3|As Vasak’s brother Ashot had been

09Draskh1    62:4|As soon as he had met prince Gurgen
09Draskh1    62:9|archers, peltasts and swordsmen, and as soon as they had arrived
09Draskh1    62:9|and swordsmen, and as soon as they had arrived, the guards
09Draskh1    62:14|were opened before him, and as soon as he had entered
09Draskh1    62:14|before him, and as soon as he had entered, he had

09Draskh1    63:14|C’lik (Little Bull), as well as the rest of the rebellious
09Draskh1    63:15|As Ashot could not engage in

09Draskh1    63:18|advisers, prepared steeds as swift (as birds), and mounting on them
09Draskh1    63:19|They spared only their lives as the Christian canons demand, namely
09Draskh1    64:1|precept, “if possible, so far as it lies (with you), live
09Draskh1    64:2|with his beloved brother Gurgen, as well as the rest of
09Draskh1    64:2|beloved brother Gurgen, as well as the rest of his relatives
09Draskh1    64:5|undisturbed. Prosperity, peace, and renovation as well as security prevailed naturally
09Draskh1    64:5|peace, and renovation as well as security prevailed naturally over the
09Draskh1    64:5|they lived in their homes, as if in a peaceful haven
09Draskh1    64:7|the royal city of Babylon, as well as almost the entire
09Draskh1    64:7|city of Babylon, as well as almost the entire extent of
09Draskh1    64:11|forces to his former post as governor. Thus Mu’nis made Yusuf
09Draskh1    64:11|obey and fulfill his wishes, as well as assist him in
09Draskh1    64:11|fulfill his wishes, as well as assist him in pouring on
09Draskh1    64:13|But as king Gagik had been informed
09Draskh1    64:13|Caghkotn, whereat he consoled himself as follows: “Although we are terrified
09Draskh1    64:16|to pay the royal tributes, as well as to bestow the
09Draskh1    64:16|the royal tributes, as well as to bestow the usual gifts
09Draskh1    64:17|riches and money, immediately paid as much as he could, twice
09Draskh1    64:17|money, immediately paid as much as he could, twice the amount
09Draskh1    64:17|also gave him copious gratuities. As for the taxes that remained
09Draskh1    64:17|strict demand, hostages were given as surety from among the members
09Draskh1    64:20|However, as he was avaricious and greedy
09Draskh1    64:20|royal tributes for many years, as well as personal gratuities for
09Draskh1    64:20|for many years, as well as personal gratuities for himself. He
09Draskh1    64:23|and great amounts of money, as well as horses and mules
09Draskh1    64:23|amounts of money, as well as horses and mules, he gave
09Draskh1    64:24|province (sic) of Rotakk’. But as he himself was headed for
09Draskh1    64:24|called Subuki by the people, as ostikan to Armenia. He himself
09Draskh1    64:26|the wives of the caliph as well as other people of
09Draskh1    64:26|of the caliph as well as other people of renown, who
09Draskh1    64:26|of money, gold and silver as booty, they all went to
09Draskh1    65:1|sent to Armenia by Yusuf as ostikan, marched forth and reached
09Draskh1    65:1|for a number of days, as his wife was there, and
09Draskh1    65:4|Responding as if to an invitation from
09Draskh1    65:7|But as he realized that ready-made
09Draskh1    65:9|As soon as he had entered
09Draskh1    65:9|As soon as he had entered the city
09Draskh1    65:10|I wept with bitter distress, as is characteristic of human nature
09Draskh1    65:12|So I took flight not as much from my fear of
09Draskh1    65:14|the sun, we acknowledged this as an authentic sign manifested to
09Draskh1    65:15|of the danger. I took as my first examples the prophet
09Draskh1    65:19|Our intention was as follows: to return once again
09Draskh1    65:19|near the holy patriarchal church; as for the material possessions and
09Draskh1    65:19|will, to relinquish these willingly as gifts to the Hagarite Nasr
09Draskh1    65:20|I had founded this place as a monastery for celibate priests
09Draskh1    65:21|As soon as we had reached
09Draskh1    65:21|As soon as we had reached Biwrakan, I
09Draskh1    65:22|would continue sending him gifts as a tribute for my well
09Draskh1    66:4|find treasures, and much money, as well as the beautiful ornaments
09Draskh1    66:4|and much money, as well as the beautiful ornaments of the
09Draskh1    66:5|were of the same mind as the judge expressed the same
09Draskh1    66:7|of fodder for the animals as well as the numerous swarms
09Draskh1    66:7|for the animals as well as the numerous swarms of bees
09Draskh1    66:8|bizarre thoughts. He immediately set as his goal the contest between

09Draskh1    66:9|had pondered on the matter as on the previous occasion, I
09Draskh1    66:10|Bagaran, near Ashot, who ruled as king, so that the children
09Draskh1    66:11|physical feebleness of the bishop as well as that of some
09Draskh1    66:11|of the bishop as well as that of some of the
09Draskh1    66:13|numbers of women, young children, as well as enfeebled old men
09Draskh1    66:13|women, young children, as well as enfeebled old men, who could

09Draskh1    66:15|of this world. As soon as they had heard whispers concerning
09Draskh1    66:16|As a general rule, one soldier
09Draskh1    66:16|of the public, but now as good soldiers let us share
09Draskh1    66:21|feet in this temporary life, as if it were eternal. Subsequently
09Draskh1    66:23|Thus he ignited their minds as if with fire, and urged
09Draskh1    66:28|which the Lord Himself chose as his own inheritance and people

09Draskh1    66:37|the blessed bishop, as well as the other clerics of the
09Draskh1    66:39|of the blessed bishop, just as one would chop down a

09Draskh1    66:43|way afflicted with grief, nor as a result of his youth
09Draskh1    66:50|were all presented to Christ as a perfect sacrifice in sweet
09Draskh1    66:50|order of the married priests, as well as the brothers of
09Draskh1    66:50|the married priests, as well as the brothers of the latter

09Draskh1    66:58|vain, was offerd to Christ as a gift
09Draskh1    66:62|brought along with the captives as their porters, to be taken
09Draskh1    67:2|by the name of Bishr, as ostikan over the city of
09Draskh1    67:4|But as the latter had taken refuge
09Draskh1    67:9|Dvin, boasted of his escape as if he had attained victory
09Draskh1    67:10|led a large force, twice as great as the former, and
09Draskh1    67:10|large force, twice as great as the former, and having supplied

09Draskh1    67:17|his good intentions, as well as the token of his friendship

09Draskh1    68:6|of each and every account as he reads my presentation; and
09Draskh1    68:9|streamed through the earth, but as the evangelical net is cast

10Tovma2    4:22|show him his kind favour, as if he had attained such
10Tovma2    4:34|anarchywhich some historians count as [60] and others as [70]. That was
10Tovma2    4:34|historians count as [60] and others as [70]. That was followed by the
10Tovma2    5:5|one of his senior nobles as overseer of Armenia with responsibility
10Tovma2    6:13|more whom they trampled down as corpses to the ground with
10Tovma2    6:15|lamentation, (asking) them to reckon as sufficient the deeds of valour
10Tovma2    6:22|prince sent him a message as follows: “You have come to

10Tovma2    6:36|them with biting words, having as his witness the saying of
10Tovma2    6:37|same impure and perverse sins as the Sodomites he called them
10Tovma2    6:37|Sodomites he called them Sodomites. As the prophet Ezekiel says: “Your

10Tovma2    7:2|the warmth of the air as day and night become equal
10Tovma2    7:4|to endure the same anguish as had the lowlanders. The light
10Tovma2    7:4|men of Khoyt’ gathered together as a crowd to consider their
10Tovma2    7:10|certain seeds, especially that known as millet, which some call bread
10Tovma2    7:11|them both winter and summer. As weapons they have pikes, which
10Tovma2    7:12|for they are loyal. Now as for the snow of unstable
10Tovma2    7:12|easily run over the snow as if over dry land
10Tovma2    7:13|drinkers of blood, who regard as naught the killing of their
10Tovma3    1:4|of the country. And just as someone might cut into pieces
10Tovma3    1:5|of this country gradually destroyed, as each individual plotted evil against
10Tovma3    1:11|the counsellors chose this plan as the only certain one. They

10Tovma3    1:25|As general he appointed over them
10Tovma3    2:10|In the battle they exhibited as much strength and heroic valour
10Tovma3    2:10|much strength and heroic valour as if they had been (more
10Tovma3    2:15|and had as sword the Lord’s saying: “When

10Tovma3    2:44|cub, quite unconcerned and regarding as naught the marauders who had
10Tovma3    2:47|an evil plan; feigning friendship as on the previous day and
10Tovma3    2:48|dumb dogs who cannot bark,” as the prophet Isaiah says, aiming
10Tovma3    2:48|lord and ruin their land as intriguing adversaries. They loved turbulence
10Tovma3    2:49|from a peaceful land turmoil, as is right for peace-loving
10Tovma3    2:51|you will not reckon us as rebels against His Imperial Majesty
10Tovma3    2:54|a shameful and humiliating defeatas on the vizier who came
10Tovma3    2:61|tenderly like a father, or as a hen gathering her chicks
10Tovma3    2:61|everywhere kept in watchful security as in a fortified city, living
10Tovma3    2:62|and what he says later as compensation for that: ’Set a
10Tovma3    2:65|With joyful heart I reckoned as mine the rapine of my
10Tovma3    2:66|my bosom with great tenderness as my own offspring
10Tovma3    2:68|caliph. The fortresses are not as prepared for defence as we

10Tovma3    2:76|he might request, as far as to appoint him his colleague
10Tovma3    2:77|thieves. “Give me,” he said, “as many of those captives as
10Tovma3    2:77|as many of those captives as your desire may permit

10Tovma3    4:35|whole host raised a shout, as if the mountain would collapse
10Tovma3    4:36|with fire. Or it was as if some thunderbolt, loosed from
10Tovma3    4:36|clouds, was casting down flames as at the time of hail
10Tovma3    4:41|compact mass, a single man as it were, or a high
10Tovma3    4:42|adamant, so they set themselves as protection for the vast number
10Tovma3    4:57|of God to their aid. As for the mass of the
10Tovma3    4:59|of the bowstrings it seemed as if fire was shooting out
10Tovma3    4:65|There was a sweet smell as he wafted the smoke around
10Tovma3    4:65|the smoke around their faces. As the smoke grew thicker the
10Tovma3    5:9|As he approached the camp the
10Tovma3    5:11|sealed with the caliph’s ring as if it had come from
10Tovma3    5:17|her garments, moaning, and sighing, as the prophet Amos note: “Shave

10Tovma3    5:22|throughout the entire land such as there had not been from
10Tovma3    5:23|face of the earth withered. As the prophet Joel lamented over
10Tovma3    5:23|a plain of destruction. And as fire runs through reeds, so
10Tovma3    5:24|race and their property, just as this is described in the
10Tovma3    5:25|Dvin which he had prepared as his winter quarters until the

10Tovma3    6:18|you, will not execute you as your wicked deeds and the
10Tovma3    6:22|one person unsupported and uncontrolled, as is your so-called prophet
10Tovma3    6:22|to the truth with him as teacher, let alone many
10Tovma3    6:23|divinity in each one’s time, as if from a single mouth
10Tovma3    6:27|set them down in writing, as is the custom for kings
10Tovma3    6:29|to give such long speeches as we have done for you
10Tovma3    6:31|smoke of a fiery furnace,” as it is written in Job

10Tovma3    6:34|Then they were quickly circumcised as Muslims on the spot, following
10Tovma3    6:34|sinned and made Israel transgress, as is written in the Book
10Tovma3    6:35|every art of deceitful knowledge, as a convenient snare with poisonous

10Tovma3    13:18|being four thousand in number. As their leader they appointed Apujap’r

10Tovma3    13:46|However, as earlier, I have decided to
10Tovma3    13:50|go in peace, treating it as a jest
10Tovma3    13:56|Just as the valiant general of Israel
10Tovma3    13:57|mercilessly rushing to the assault, as he delivered all the violent
10Tovma3    14:1|septennial measure of time, just as God had allotted for the
10Tovma3    14:1|Israel in captivity in Babylon, as it is written in the
10Tovma3    14:2|So much do they (say). As for us, we shall abbreviate
10Tovma3    14:4|of the Lord’s people, just as the angel of the Lord
10Tovma3    14:5|wrath in pity and mercy, as the blessed prophets wrote
10Tovma3    14:23|rejected him with smarting words as a servant of the devil
10Tovma3    14:40|was priest in the monastery. As a fearer of God he
10Tovma3    14:41|which he had fettered him, as compensation for his goodness. But
10Tovma3    14:44|that Ashot might report him as a rebel to the leader
10Tovma3    14:50|daughter in marriage to Derenik as princess of Vaspurakan
10Tovma3    15:2|of confessor for their testimony as martyrs, were freed from the

10Tovma3    15:7|Tarōn, Andzavats’ik’, Arzn, and everywhereas the records which were kept
10Tovma3    15:15|Gurgēn the province of Mardastan as his personal portion, while he
10Tovma3    15:20|sins inflicted by the Lord, as on Israel in times of
10Tovma3    16:10|their army, and struck down as corpses the champions in the
10Tovma3    16:10|champions in the front ranks as if they had been hit
10Tovma3    16:10|had been hit by lightning. As the wind blows the summer
10Tovma3    17:5|and give me my rights, as a righteous judge is wont
10Tovma3    17:6|informed about this, Ashot despised as insignificant the report and uttered
10Tovma3    17:6|alone on horseback, and fled as far as the capital of
10Tovma3    17:6|horseback, and fled as far as the capital of Ṙshtunik’, abandoning

10Tovma3    18:17|So as the Sodomites who paid the
10Tovma3    19:3|Sargis, also (known as) Ashot, in [326] of the Armenian
10Tovma3    19:3|Armenian era; Khachik, also (known as) Gagik, in [328]; and Gurgēnlively
10Tovma3    19:5|entered Partaw, he left there as governor of the city one
10Tovma3    19:7|for Ahmet’ son of Halit’ (as governor). For Yamanik was sending
10Tovma3    19:7|the country, putting himself forward as governor of Armenia, veiling his

10Tovma3    20:1|the one from the otheras if they were indicating the
10Tovma3    20:3|crimes was revealed and confirmed as regards the Kaysik Aplbar

10Tovma3    20:4|emir, mounted on elite horses as if to go hunting, with

10Tovma3    20:17|and equipment of his troops, as was usual for brave heroes
10Tovma3    20:20|return by the same way as he had come
10Tovma3    20:28|youth and folly are vanity,” as Solomon says. So he fell
10Tovma3    20:28|support and aidso that as his advice proposed, so indeed
10Tovma3    20:31|illness and was near death, as the messengers averred
10Tovma3    20:36|him from his captivity, leaving as hostages Gagik, son of Derenik
10Tovma3    20:40|of Derenik on being informed as to what Hasan had done
10Tovma3    20:41|to believe him; so just as he (Hasan) had feigned a
10Tovma3    20:45|for strength to write. Pains as of childbirth overwhelm me as
10Tovma3    20:45|as of childbirth overwhelm me as I set down these woeful
10Tovma3    20:46|Fast bubbling tears as from a boiling kettle flow
10Tovma3    20:58|surrounded him and enclosed him as in a secure cave, casting
10Tovma3    20:59|wound him with your lances as strongly as you can
10Tovma3    20:59|with your lances as strongly as you can
10Tovma3    20:61|delivered him into their hands, as David said, the fear of
10Tovma3    20:65|As David says: “I was prepared
10Tovma3    20:68|As for Gagik, also (called) Apumruan
10Tovma3    20:68|over the land to rule as regent, for Derenik’s sons were
10Tovma3    20:71|of Ałt’amar. Their commands are as firm as the rock: if

10Tovma3    21:1|twenty-five years of leadership as prince of princes, four years
10Tovma3    21:2|very energetic in all matters; as concerns things under heaven it
10Tovma3    22:2|houses became their tombs, just as it swallowed up the houses
10Tovma3    22:3|their walls cracking and collapsing, as then on the death of
10Tovma3    22:4|prophet there was an earthquake as far as the Mount of
10Tovma3    22:4|was an earthquake as far as the Mount of Olives. It
10Tovma3    22:7|Ashot and Gagik and Gurgēn, as they grew in body increased
10Tovma3    22:8|each regarded the other (two) as superior to himself, reckoning the
10Tovma3    22:8|three parts, giving to Ashot, as we said above, the rank
10Tovma3    22:8|other parts of the country as far as the castle of
10Tovma3    22:8|of the country as far as the castle of Nakhchavan
10Tovma3    22:9|with the neighbouring provinces and as much as he could obtain
10Tovma3    22:9|neighbouring provinces and as much as he could obtain by force
10Tovma3    22:9|and all Parskahayk’ around it as far as the beginning of
10Tovma3    22:9|Parskahayk’ around it as far as the beginning of Korduk’, and
10Tovma3    22:14|regarded Ashot’s going to Awshin as inappropriate, lest other princes be
10Tovma3    22:19|his father’s murder, regarding it as the blood price
10Tovma3    22:24|carry out his plan. But as his ambition welled up inside
10Tovma3    22:26|custom of subjects to masters, as (even) the teacher of the
10Tovma3    22:28|delight won them to himself as honourable men and powerful warriors
10Tovma3    23:1|As we briefly mentioned above concerning

10Tovma3    25:1|bloodwhich characteristics he regarded as great personal renownhe valued
10Tovma3    25:4|the country with great joy as if they were to see
10Tovma3    26:2|not only ate animals regarded as unclean by the rules of
10Tovma3    26:4|eat sons, and sons fathers,” as happened in the time of
10Tovma3    26:5|God’s mercy to be multiplied, as God is accustomed to remember
10Tovma3    27:4|mountain in a long fall as far as the level ground
10Tovma3    27:4|a long fall as far as the level ground where the

10Tovma3    29:48|is offered in them, especially as he is truly the Son

10Tovma3    29:60|of the prophets these details, as in the sixth vision of
10Tovma3    29:60|the discourse of Zechariah; and as Paul took care to explain
10Tovma3    29:61|of the warriors of Vaspurakan, as we described. As soon as
10Tovma3    29:61|of Vaspurakan, as we described. As soon as the sad news

10Tovma4    3:8|accomplices of the Evil One, as we mentioned above. So I
10Tovma4    3:23|ask Ap’shin for peace, giving as hostage his eldest son. Taking
10Tovma4    3:28|From there he advanced as far as the city of

12Last1    4:5|looting. It was (then) just as it had been in antiquity
12Last1    4:7|and give me your son as a hostage, and there will
12Last1    4:7|and field by field, just as it had been before

12Last1    4:12|and driven by the cold as if pursued by enemies. When

12Last1    4:15|as emperor. He instructed him, as David (had advised) Solomon not
12Last1    4:15|rule over them. But not as David, (rather) he should seek
12Last1    4:16|the heavens. In the evening, as he was breathing his last
12Last1    5:0|Constantine’s) brother had set up as lord of the district of

12Last1    5:4|of the emperor’s death followed. As soon as (Simon) heard about

12Last1    9:8|up (for it is) just as the Lord note: “The wicked
12Last1    9:10|Byzantines) heard this, they did as they were requested, and from
12Last1    9:12|there will be such tribulation as has not been from the
12Last1    9:12|befallen you,” and so forth, as the great Eusebius indicated in
12Last1    9:14|us leave this matter here as it stands, and return to
12Last1    9:17|Now (Michael [V]) as soon as he observed their
12Last1    9:17|Now (Michael [V]) as soon as he observed their strength and
12Last1    9:19|it came to pass just as the prophet had said, that
12Last1    10:0|worthy of the realm; and as for the one she had

12Last1    10:1|true, or whether it was as she herself had written in
12Last1    10:2|With numerous troops he came as far as the gate of
12Last1    10:2|troops he came as far as the gate of the royal

12Last1    10:6|hands drop, sparing his persecutor as a benevolent act, and angrily
12Last1    10:8|of impiety. It was just as the Savior said when preaching
12Last1    10:11|Just as the blessed David confessed to
12Last1    10:11|they revealed (His) accurate knowledge, as the Psalm states: “The Lord
12Last1    10:16|became (dwelling places) for robbers as did the churches in them
12Last1    10:17|blocks and covers the sunbeams. As for (the clerics) who dwelled
12Last1    10:18|and turtle-dove are singing, as the prophet note: they sweetly

12Last1    10:23|of Ani and the land, as though it were his own

12Last1    10:39|The words of liars are as succulent as cheese, and fools
12Last1    10:39|of liars are as succulent as cheese, and fools gulp them
12Last1    10:42|As the demand (for Ani) was
12Last1    10:44|Samson, in antiquity). He wrote (as follows): “Inform the emperor (about
12Last1    11:0|from T’urk’astan; their horses were as fleet as eagles, with hooves
12Last1    11:0|their horses were as fleet as eagles, with hooves as solid
12Last1    11:0|fleet as eagles, with hooves as solid as rock. Well girded
12Last1    11:0|eagles, with hooves as solid as rock. Well girded, their bows
12Last1    11:1|they pounced upon the Christians as insatiably hungry wolves devour their
12Last1    11:1|wolves devour their food. Coming as far as the Basen district
12Last1    11:1|their food. Coming as far as the Basen district and as
12Last1    11:1|as the Basen district and as far as the great estate
12Last1    11:1|Basen district and as far as the great estate called Vagharshawan
12Last1    11:4|the finger of God.” Just as the hand performs a complete

12Last1    11:15|of bowmen and swordsmen, assembling as eagles pouncing upon food. In
12Last1    11:17|the world (to gape at), as the Apostle said of the
12Last1    11:20|among many peoples and became as if unclean to everyone. The
12Last1    11:22|been growling in its lairs, as the prophet says, sought their

12Last1    12:1|good things, and everything was as one would wish. Then it
12Last1    12:2|and the gifts given them as bribes were dishonored. Everyone strived
12Last1    12:12|punishment are we, having them as an example and having the
12Last1    12:14|of Jerusalem), took its adornments as booty, and defiled the blessed
12Last1    12:14|heels, and took its adornments as plunder
12Last1    12:17|servants flow like water, not as it was in the past
12Last1    12:17|the blood of the slain. As for the number buried, the
12Last1    12:18|our city? It was (here) as was written about the Sodomites
12Last1    12:19|this a benevolent act, just as the Savior had prophesied: “Indeed
