A stern command was issued by the kings so 02Agat1    12:9 | from the gods. Thus, it was for this reason that the 02Agat1    12:15 | of the years that Grigorios was in the pit - some thirteen 02Agat1    12:17 | You yourselves know that it was by the aid of the 02Agat1    12:17 | our ancestors, and that it was by the aid of the 02Agat1    12:21 | my meritorious Grigorios, someone who was dear to me.

Rhipsime was one 02Agat1    13:3 | tutee”) was named Rhipsime. Rhipsime was one of the daughters of 02Agat1    13:5 | beauty of Rhipsime’s portrait, he was filled with a crazed passion 02Agat1    13:9 | He was emboldened to attack the firm 02Agat1    13:9 | to harm the rock he was himself broken against the rock 02Agat1    13:10 | arrogance of his folly, he was the cause of very great 02Agat1    13:19 | of your holy church, which was built with many true stones 02Agat1    13:19 | rock [cf. Matt. 7.24; Lk. 6.48], whose chief corner-stone was our Lord Jesus Christ [cf. I Pet. 2.6] through 02Agat1    13:19 | of your Godhead where he was before 02Agat1    13:20 | become like that house which was built on the sand, and 02Agat1    13:20 | on the sand, and which was toppled by the buffetings of 02Agat1    13:29 | except that one of them was skilled in glass-working - making 02Agat1    13:29 | glass beads - whose sale price was given in exchange for their 02Agat1    14:1 | In this period there was no small amount of disturbance 02Agat1    15:3 | While this hunt was going on throughout the regions 02Agat1    15:5 | It was not right for the truth 02Agat1    15:17 | day, before dawn, a command was issued by the king that 02Agat1    15:18 | the city, where their retreat was located 02Agat1    15:23 | and heard her governess, she was fortified as with the arms 02Agat1    16:10 | Many were broken and there was the sound of clamor and 02Agat1    16:10 | such an amount of blood was shed that it watered the 02Agat1    16:11 | who wrote down all that was said and read the accounts 02Agat1    16:16 | You it was who parted the Red Sea 02Agat1    16:17 | You it was who turned the sterile rock 02Agat1    16:18 | You it was who brought down your servant 02Agat1    16:18 | one hair of his head was touched 02Agat1    17:1 | While saint Rhipsime was offering all these prayers to 02Agat1    17:5 | the tenth hour. The king was defeated - he, whose strength had 02Agat1    17:5 | strength and stamina, that everyone was astonished. Moreover, even within his 02Agat1    17:5 | he - so renowned in everything - was defeated and worsted by a 02Agat1    17:8 | what kind of advice Gayane was giving, they brought rocks and 02Agat1    17:19 | God, who for our sake was humbled to disgrace [cf. Phil. 2.8], may he 02Agat1    17:22 | Remember the Lord who was humbled in order to raise 02Agat1    17:22 | our lives and salvation he was wounded to death 02Agat1    17:26 | her protégé, while the king was struggling with saint Rhipsime 02Agat1    17:28 | they heard all that Gayane was saying to her protégé, they 02Agat1    17:29 | single word in what she was saying to the girl. Rather 02Agat1    17:30 | Meanwhile Rhipsime was still fighting with King Trdat 02Agat1    17:31 | The girl was fortified by the Holy Spirit 02Agat1    17:39 | without whom nothing at all was made [cf. Jn. 1.3]. And ’your good Spirit 02Agat1    18:1 | While the blessed saint Rhipsime was saying all this, the king’s 02Agat1    18:4 | her the torn clothing which was around her. And they fixed 02Agat1    18:5 | eviscerating her. And while she was still alive, they plucked out 02Agat1    18:11 | And there was one killed in the vat 02Agat1    18:11 | not excluding me. For I was ill and could not run 02Agat1    19:1 | have been ashamed, he who was so renowned for bravery in 02Agat1    19:1 | the Tachiks; where once he was leaving the combat on horseback 02Agat1    19:1 | Euphrates river. So, he, who was such a powerful soldier and 02Agat1    19:1 | by the will of God was defeated by a single girl 02Agat1    19:2 | to this shameful disgrace, but was rather inflamed at the sight 02Agat1    19:9 | the king when he heard, was overwhelmed, frenzied and stupefied for 02Agat1    19:9 | Rhipsime but thought that she was still alive 02Agat1    19:12 | he heard that saint Rhipsime was dead, he was cast down 02Agat1    19:12 | saint Rhipsime was dead, he was cast down into the same 02Agat1    19:25 | So it was that on the twenty-sixth 02Agat1    20:3 | the Babylonians, his human exterior was transformed to resemble a wild 02Agat1    20:5 | city, they could not. This was for two reasons: one, because 02Agat1    20:7 | struck with torments and there was deep mourning because of it 02Agat1    20:8 | that a vision from God was visited upon the king’s sister 02Agat1    20:8 | the king’s sister, whose name was Xosroviduxt 02Agat1    20:11 | these fifteen years since Gregory was thrown into the incredibly deep 02Agat1    20:12 | to the woman again - it was repeated five more times - with 02Agat1    20:14 | certain senior [naxarar] lord whose name was Otay 02Agat1    20:23 | his body had darkened and was black as coal. Then they 02Agat1    20:26 | from a distance that Gregory was coming with Otay and many 02Agat1    20:37 | had brought. Instead, each saint was wrapped in the saint’s own 02Agat1    21:19 | they never harmed me, nor was I terrified of them nor 02Agat1    21:19 | I terrified of them nor was my heart dismayed. For I 02Agat1    21:20 | this I know, that it was in ignorance that you did 02Agat1    21:32 | Not indeed that he was unable to give life without 02Agat1    21:34 | than any other men. How was it possible for human bodily 02Agat1    21:35 | deep pit in which I was buried amidst piles of snakes 02Agat1    21:36 | And of what I was previously unworthy, behold we now 02Agat1    22:10 | Was it really possible for a 02Agat1    22:11 | these blessed saints, whose blood was poured on your land and 02Agat1    22:12 | But as for me, was I a preacher to you 02Agat1    22:17 | and in your eyes I was considered dead, as you yourselves 02Agat1    22:18 | For I was entrusted with telling you of 02Agat1    22:19 | creation; how this good world was created by the benevolent one 02Agat1    22:27 | the seed of Abraham, who was chosen for his piety and 02Agat1    22:28 | of being the first believer was rightly named ’father.’ Likewise 02Agat1    22:30 | great prophet called Moses. He was made worthy of divine grace 02Agat3    4:1 | love shown towards you, which was revealed to me as an 02Agat3    4:3 | the labor and vigil, I was still awake and was contemplating 02Agat3    4:3 | I was still awake and was contemplating the unexpected and inscrutable 02Agat3    4:5 | Suddenly there was a great sound, the thunder 02Agat3    4:6 | of the firmament of heaven was opened, and a man descended 02Agat3    4:11 | And there was an awesome vision of a 02Agat3    4:11 | leader. And in his hand was a great hammer of gold 02Agat3    4:12 | as the eye could see was struck as level as a 02Agat3    4:14 | the place where saint Gayane was martyred with her two companions 02Agat3    4:14 | the place where saint Rhipsime was martyred with her thirty-two 02Agat3    4:15 | of light, for that one was higher than they 02Agat3    4:20 | There was made a vast bluish sea 02Agat3    4:23 | While I was still looking, suddenly the flocks 02Agat3    4:25 | to slaughter them, and there was shedding of blood 02Agat3    4:26 | While I was looking, I saw that the 02Agat3    4:28 | Beholding this I was amazed 02Agat3    4:40 | And the echoing earth was the voice of servitude and 02Agat3    4:47 | And the capital was fiery because their habitation will 02Agat3    4:50 | Now the first cross that was revealed to you represents the 02Agat3    4:51 | the place where their blood was shed will be built chapels 02Agat3    4:52 | Now the first column was high, because the honor of 02Agat3    4:59 | And it was united to the same, because 02Agat3    4:78 | he had said this there was an earthquake, and as day 02Agat3    4:78 | as day dawned the vision was obscured 02Agat3    7:1 | Trdat at the time still was entirely in the form of 02Agat3    7:1 | of a pig; his face was like a snout; he had 02Agat3    7:1 | huge boar, and his body was covered all over with thick 02Agat3    7:2 | Yet he was present there among the people 02Agat3    7:7 | his true [harazat] sister, whose name was Xosroviduxt, that they might be 02Agat3    8:15 | And this was done according to the command 02Agat3    9:4 | a newly-born infant. He was completely healed in all his 02Agat3    9:8 | Thereafter there was heartfelt joy and such panoramas 02Agat3    9:9 | cognizant of them. And this was not only about current developments 02Agat3    10:1 | to completely destroy it. This was to prevent the existence of 02Agat3    10:5 | of pagan priestly knowledge, who was called the Diwan secretary of 02Agat3    10:6 | It was here that demons appeared which 02Agat3    10:12 | When this was said in front of everyone 02Agat3    10:19 | trained them in doctrine. First was Trdat, the king, with all 02Agat3    11:2 | in the village of Tordan, was a famous temple to the 02Agat3    11:6 | the god Zeus-Armazd, who was called the father of all 02Agat3    11:9 | the district of Erez. It was here, in the form of 02Agat3    12:3 | Now while Gregory there, too, was acting with the consent of 02Agat3    12:3 | the advantages of preaching, he was not solely relying on the 02Agat3    12:3 | power of the king. Gregory was convincing everyone, not merely with 02Agat3    12:4 | All this was achieved by the will of 02Agat3    12:6 | with works of labor. This was to free them from their 02Agat3    12:6 | pagan way of life, which was of a foul, demonic, satanic 02Agat3    14:2 | the prince of Aghdzniq who was the great bdeash; third, the 02Agat3    14:10 | indeed already knew how great was their fortitude, but in order 02Agat3    14:12 | Now because he was even more a martyr and 02Agat3    14:18 | In such terms was the copy of the edict 02Agat3    15:2 | into the royal carriage, which was covered with gold and pulled 02Agat3    15:4 | There was much rejoicing, delight, and feasting 02Agat3    15:9 | Thus Gregory was greatly exalted by all, according 02Agat3    15:14 | them along with him. Gregory was greatly exalted by the bishops 02Agat3    16:1 | by the grandee kings. This was the eighth famous shrine, named 02Agat3    16:2 | sanctuaries remaining in it: first was the temple of Vahevan (Vahagn 02Agat3    16:2 | temple of Vahevan (Vahagn), second was the altar to the Golden 02Agat3    16:2 | of gold, and the altar was named, after her, golden built 02Agat3    16:2 | Golden-mother goddess; and third was the temple named after the 02Agat3    16:4 | As Gregory was returning from Greek territory, he 02Agat3    17:6 | gold, or silver. The destruction was so thorough that it seemed 02Agat3    17:10 | It was there in Taron that he 02Agat3    17:10 | glory of Christ. For it was there that he first made 02Agat3    17:13 | month of [Sahmi] October. For it was in that place in Taron 02Agat3    18:3 | Meanwhile, Gregory was moving around to fill every 02Agat3    18:13 | did not previously realize what was worthy, therefore he brought this 02Agat3    18:13 | might know the sobriety which was fitting 02Agat3    18:14 | you did not understand what was human by human means, he 02Agat3    18:15 | knowledge. For the rock which was dis-honored by the builders 02Agat3    19:5 | land.

The first was named Vahan, the second, Vasak 05Parp4    62:6 | younger brother, named Vard, who was still a boy and was 05Parp4    62:6 | was still a boy and was staying with his dayeaks in 05Parp4    63:8 | the blessed Hmayeak, whose name was Vahan, was especially attentive to 05Parp4    63:8 | Hmayeak, whose name was Vahan, was especially attentive to accomplishing such 05Parp4    63:9 | He was an intelligent man, benevolent, and 05Parp4    63:10 | king Peroz himself, once he was thoroughly acquainted with (Vahan), revered 05Parp4    63:12 | This was especially true since (the shah 05Parp4    63:12 | especially true since (the shah) was constantly hearing the slander of 05Parp4    63:12 | advancement of Vahan Mamikonean. (Peroz) was doubtful about disheartening the above 05Parp4    63:15 | furnace of Babylon, and there was no one to extinguish it 05Parp4    64:0 | blessed kat’oghikos of Armenia, Giwt, was unable to restrain himself and 05Parp4    64:1 | and scorned Gadishoy Maxaz, who was the military commander of the 05Parp4    64:16 | This was because God, out of pleasure 05Parp4    64:16 | the rule of his faith was being weakened, (Peroz) abided Maxaz’ 05Parp4    64:29 | bold words of Giwt, he was transported with rage, and wanted 05Parp4    64:30 | himself for a moment and was quiet. Then he began to 05Parp4    64:34 | rejoiced, while the other part was saddened to death. He rejoiced 05Parp4    64:34 | of the world. But he was unconsolably disturbed and saddened when 05Parp4    64:35 | court. With much boldness he was honored not only by the 05Parp4    64:37 | So, it was, thusly honored by all, with 05Parp4    64:38 | in deep old age and was peacefully placed in the tomb 05Parp4    65:2 | well as the one who was king, that there was no 05Parp4    65:2 | who was king, that there was no way (Vahan) could remain 05Parp4    65:3 | and death. Just as it was in the past, they said 05Parp4    65:5 | back to Armenia but still was unable to stop the mouths 05Parp4    65:8 | Whenever someone was unable to perform a court 05Parp4    65:9 | had an associate whose name was Vriw, undistinguished by azg and 05Parp4    65:11 | how quickly Vahan had arrived, was astonished, and note: “Such a 05Parp4    65:11 | goes contrary to what Vriw was saying, especially since (Vahan) has 05Parp4    65:12 | gold he had brought, he was greatly delighted 05Parp4    65:21 | But there was no peace of mind (for 05Parp4    65:22 | friends with his worry, and was looking for some strategem. He 05Parp4    66:0 | While Vahan was in a state of confusion 05Parp4    66:0 | such mental anguish, suddenly there was tumultuous agitation in the land 05Parp4    66:1 | This was heard by people from the 05Parp4    66:1 | military commander of them all was Zarmihr Hazarawuzt, while the marzpan 05Parp4    66:1 | the marzpan of Armenia (then) was Atrvnashp Yozmandean 05Parp4    66:20 | priest, At’ik, came forward. He was from the prominent village called 05Parp4    67:0 | of unity (just as Judas was rejected from the host of 05Parp4    67:1 | When this was heard by the marzpan, Atrvshnasp 05Parp4    67:2 | others, and that (the rebellion) was to take place the next 05Parp4    67:7 | There was a sepuh from Urc named 05Parp4    67:7 | fortress called Sagray fortress, which was a secure fortress in their 05Parp4    67:10 | and the Katshac’ brigade which was in those areas, he quickly 05Parp4    68:0 | Sahak, lord of the Bagratunik’, was informed of this. At that 05Parp4    68:6 | Babgen Siwni, who was then named prince of the 05Parp4    68:13 | of the Mamikoneans, Vasak, (who was the advance-guard that day 05Parp4    68:14 | and heard that Vasak Mamikonean was there 05Parp4    68:19 | escaped unharmed, and that there was no doubt of it, he 05Parp4    68:20 | Iranians who were there: “I was ridiculing you when I spoke 05Parp4    68:22 | told them that the brigade was numerous but that many of 05Parp4    69:0 | heard that the Iranian brigade was coming against them in war 05Parp4    69:1 | of the center. Garjoyl Maghxaz was designated commander of the left 05Parp4    69:2 | the aid of whichever side was weakening, and to provide force 05Parp4    69:7 | It was then that Garjoyl Maxaz took 05Parp4    69:8 | multitude of the Iranian brigade was scattered and dispersed in the 05Parp4    69:9 | It was there that the marzpan, Atrvshnasp 05Parp4    69:11 | But it was Hrahat, son of the venerable 05Parp4    69:12 | well as the brigade which was with him, and, changing direction 05Parp4    69:13 | fall upon those whom Christ was strengthening, vanquish them through duplicity 05Parp4    69:17 | That day was one of noteworthy joy for 05Parp4    69:17 | the word of the prophet was fulfilled and confirmed, that “Whomever 05Parp4    69:18 | Though I proved incapable and was conquered, let me, at least 05Parp4    69:22 | This was said by two men who 05Parp4    69:22 | tidings quickly arrived. His name was Arhastom, of the Gnunik’ tohm 05Parp4    70:11 | the Anjewac’ik’ naxarars, whose name was Yohan, as well as an 05Parp4    70:13 | When they realized what was happening, although half of them 05Parp4    70:16 | fell from his horse and was wickedly mauled by the horns 05Parp4    70:18 | News of this extraordinary event was related all over the land 05Parp4    71:1 | senior (official) of the army was the p’ushtipanan saghar, even though 05Parp4    71:1 | though another (man) of them was higher by gah 05Parp4    71:11 | side of the front, as was proper 05Parp4    71:14 | the right, where Bashgh Vahewuni was, they put it to flight 05Parp4    71:21 | of wounds in various places was greater than those slain from 05Parp4    72:1 | its substance and thought it was not real 05Parp4    72:4 | of Vard Mamikonean, not only was he personally freed, but he 05Parp4    72:5 | It was then that the God-loving 05Parp4    72:5 | from my lips. The Omniscient was pleased with my plan and 05Parp4    73:0 | that the blessed man’s end was approaching. The holy Vasak had 05Parp4    73:0 | on the day his request was granted 05Parp4    73:13 | Although the season was very hot, they were forced 05Parp4    73:21 | at this (late) hour he was still delaying and deceiving with 05Parp4    74:0 | Although Armenia’s general, Vahan Mamikonean, was saddened by the false and 05Parp4    74:2 | faces into something radiant. This was clear and evident. One especially 05Parp4    74:2 | general, Vahan, for his face was illuminated with the glory of 05Parp4    74:2 | saw his radiant face which was illuminated like the face of 05Parp4    74:3 | of Armenia, Vahan, looked and was awestruck and realized, then and 05Parp4    74:6 | had broken his spear and was searching for another. Valiant Vasak 05Parp4    74:13 | Iranians reached him while he was on foot, seized him, and 05Parp4    74:13 | When Mihran saw him, he was delighted 05Parp4    75:2 | There was an enormous camp of Aryan 05Parp4    75:2 | Iran and Byzantium. Vahan Mamikonean was about two hrasax distant from 05Parp4    75:3 | where Armenia’s general Vahan Mamikonean was, was under the authority of 05Parp4    75:3 | Armenia’s general Vahan Mamikonean was, was under the authority of the 05Parp4    75:14 | But as you know, it was only the Armenians who accomplished 05Parp4    75:14 | saw and heard about. It was accomplished not with many cavalrymen 05Parp4    75:15 | any superior bravery. Rather, it was that we were troubled with 05Parp4    75:19 | all know that since I was left (an orphan) as a 05Parp4    75:19 | in the Aryan world, nor was I in any way a 05Parp4    75:22 | I found no favor, it was important to me that at 05Parp4    75:23 | service I had rendered, and was unable to do any more 05Parp4    75:23 | do any more, when I was unable to stop the mouths 05Parp4    75:23 | hold of me, when I was unable to flee the land 05Parp4    75:25 | I was daily plagued with fear that 05Parp4    76:2 | with great diligence but sadly was ( Hrahat’s) brother, Nerseh, the lord 05Parp4    76:3 | Nerseh, the lord of Shirak, was unable to stop crying, to 05Parp4    76:14 | and letters whenever (Gdihon) himself was with the Iranian awags at 05Parp4    76:19 | of Horhi (translator’s note: Horhi was the second month of the 05Parp4    77:5 | priest from the Teghac’ retreat was placed as our guardian, and 05Parp4    77:7 | demeanor were such that he was led to believe we were 05Parp4    77:10 | satan, (news of our escape) was breathed into the ears of 05Parp4    77:11 | rugged caves. But (the priest) was afraid to send to you 05Parp4    77:14 | This was even more so when word 05Parp4    77:18 | And before the end I was shown the color and aspect 05Parp4    77:18 | that army and force, which was fated to die. (This is 05Parp4    77:18 | reached each other, (Vasak’s) face was illuminated by a light the 05Parp4    77:19 | look at him again, but was unable because the increasingly bright 05Parp4    78:0 | When it was the blooming time of spring 05Parp4    78:1 | Mamikonean, the sparapet of Armenia, was at the ostan with but 05Parp4    78:7 | hostile operations. What had happened was made known to many and 05Parp4    78:7 | more so than others. This was very well known by the 05Parp4    78:10 | been thrown from his horse was left there half-dead 05Parp4    78:13 | same day, after the fighting was over, Mushegh, the sepuh of 05Parp4    79:3 | two names), one (of which) was Giwghik, and the other, Vardashen 05Parp4    79:3 | he heard that Vahan Mamikonean was close to him at Varayr 05Parp4    79:4 | thinking that the brilliant Mamikonean was there unconcerned, he reached the 05Parp4    79:6 | had not accomplished what he was seeking to achieve, missing the 05Parp4    79:7 | were indeed their wives, he was inwardly delighted. For he reasoned 05Parp4    80:7 | as a learned individual he was informed about all of their 05Parp4    81:0 | and kill him. But he was able to accomplish nothing, since 05Parp4    81:3 | The Iranian general, Shapuh, was informed that lo, Vahan Mamikonean 05Parp4    81:5 | But the Armenian brigade was prepared (they were always prepared 05Parp4    81:7 | and reached a torrent which was near a village, and they 05Parp4    81:9 | Xurs (who was from Shirmac’ village in Arshamunik’ 05Parp4    82:0 | the entire brigade at Duin was united around him, he showed 05Parp4    82:6 | dew saw that the man was completely abandoned by God’s care 05Parp4    82:8 | the earth. And God Himself was with him in everything he 05Parp4    82:11 | Gabagh, sepuh of the Gabegheank’, was pierced while enthusiastically battling and 05Parp4    82:11 | died of his wounds and was crowned, being worthy of acceptance 05Parp4    83:2 | previous days. And indeed, this was so, since nothing done previously 05Parp4    83:3 | his brigade at the time was unprepared and fewer compared to 05Parp4    83:6 | For it was the holy Spirit which note 05Parp4    83:10 | While he was still organizing the attack and 05Parp4    83:12 | other words, (he thought) it was possible to give way and 05Parp4    83:16 | went to where the campaign was being conducted 05Parp4    83:17 | Iranian brigade as though it was merely a torrential rain which 05Parp4    83:18 | the Iranian troops. Among them was Gdihon, the haughty prince of 05Parp4    83:25 | and the venerable Gherpargos, who was of Greek nationality 05Parp4    84:2 | irresistible strength (of God) and was thoroughly frightened, wondering but not 05Parp4    85:1 | While he was tormented by fearful thoughts of 05Parp4    85:4 | what sort of a death was it 05Parp4    85:5 | of such injury and destruction was none other than the godlike 05Parp4    85:6 | is necessary to say what was seen and heard and the 05Parp4    85:6 | and of the entire land was due to the wrath of 05Parp4    85:6 | the gods, and the cause was none other than the lord 05Parp4    85:7 | First, when Peroz was still in Hyrcania and massing 05Parp4    85:9 | Every mouth was plainly saying: ’If we are 05Parp4    85:10 | All the court nobility was constantly saying the same thing 05Parp4    86:3 | this huge multitude of troops was scattered. After killing the giant 05Parp4    86:4 | Now, was it not Peroz’ unseeing and 05Parp4    87:0 | When Hazarawuxt, who was in the land of Iberia 05Parp4    87:0 | of the Iranian multitude, he was horrified and wracked with doubts 05Parp4    88:6 | Aryans, it seems that Vahan was triumphant in the battle which 05Parp4    88:6 | we fought, even though Vahan was there with all of his 05Parp4    88:10 | But I who was there recall the events of 05Parp4    88:19 | He was instructed by the king himself 05Parp4    89:6 | upon these words; rather, that was done on the day we 05Parp4    90:4 | Mamikonean. When the happy meal was finished, each went to his 05Parp4    90:19 | letter, (Vahan) learned from what was written that Nixor had been 05Parp4    90:19 | sent him and that there was nothing in any of Vahan 05Parp4    90:20 | very much his going there was desired. And Nixor’s messengers convinced 05Parp4    91:5 | Approaching the village where Nixor was, he ordered the troops who 05Parp4    91:13 | Everything that Nixor said was done, and when the atean 05Parp4    91:13 | done, and when the atean was completely full of the men 05Parp4    91:23 | the king of kings, Peroz, was unable to care for the 05Parp4    91:27 | He was the one who lost himself 05Parp4    92:4 | stupid, deserving from undeserving, it was sufficient and full 05Parp4    92:9 | that, not recognizing that it was your instruction that created them 05Parp4    93:5 | his room while he himself was alone 05Parp4    93:9 | truly the word of Scripture was revealed, that “God is light 05Parp4    93:15 | name of rebellion, but it was not given to them 05Parp4    93:17 | It was then at the atean that 05Parp4    93:20 | to elaborate on whatever else was written in the letter, since 05Parp4    94:3 | while he quickly arranged what was necessary 05Parp4    94:5 | bank of the river which was turgidly swollen because of the 05Parp4    94:7 | This was the fording place for the 05Parp4    94:7 | over without a care. This was a great and clear sign 05Parp4    94:7 | in the true faith, it was a sign resembling the passage 05Parp4    94:9 | to court. Among those sent was one of (Vahan’s) own nephews 05Parp4    94:10 | two brigades clashed, Zareh’s brigade was defeated and fled, and many 05Parp4    94:11 | and displayed great bravery, which was clear to the general and 05Parp4    95:3 | Aryans, and the great palace was filled with a huge number 05Parp4    95:16 | accomplishment they have done which was seen by your military commanders 05Parp4    95:24 | It was clear not only to believers 05Parp4    95:24 | of words from the Mamikonid was granted by God. He spoke 05Parp4    95:25 | thought about and revealed which was described before us by your 05Parp4    95:28 | After this was said, they dismissed the atean 05Parp4    96:5 | of Armenia, Vahan, with what was necessary and proper for the 05Parp4    98:1 | aided his hand and everything was concluded easily and effortlessly 05Parp4    98:2 | all of it over, Andekan was secretly astonished and rejoiced at 05Parp4    99:2 | of (certain) Armenian people and was burdened by the matter. Nevertheless 05Parp4    99:5 | And the House of God was insufficient to hold all of 05Parp4    99:6 | That was a day of immeasurable joy 05Parp4    99:8 | the part where he himself was to read. Giving the greeting 05Parp4    100:22 | from the sleep-inducing that was drunk by the Jewish people 06Khor1    2:4 | we have described him who was king of Egypt as king 06Khor1    2:5 | well under his power, he was called king of Alexandria and 06Khor1    2:5 | or other lords of Egypt was ever so called. It was 06Khor1    2:5 | was ever so called. It was because of his being particularly 06Khor1    3:6 | then someone might say: it was because there was no writing 06Khor1    3:6 | say: it was because there was no writing or literature at 06Khor1    4:8 | Adam was the first to be created 06Khor1    4:10 | Enos was the first who had hope 06Khor1    4:11 | then, and for what reasons was he the first to have 06Khor1    4:12 | For Adam was truly the creature of God 06Khor1    4:12 | he transgressed and hid and was asked: “Where are you?” [Gen. 3:9] by 06Khor1    4:13 | Later too Abel, who was close and known to God 06Khor1    4:13 | Him a sacrifice, and it was accepted 06Khor1    4:16 | since the first of mankind was found in transgression of the 06Khor1    4:16 | as has been said, he was expelled from the Garden and 06Khor1    4:17 | one of Adam’s sons who was the most intimate with God 06Khor1    4:17 | the most intimate with God was killed by his own blood 06Khor1    4:18 | Following that there was no further word of God 06Khor1    4:18 | revelation, and the human race was left to doubt and despair 06Khor1    4:23 | pleasing life, as He who was pleased knows, and is said 06Khor1    4:26 | Which was not rest but the destruction 06Khor1    4:26 | but the destruction of whatever was upon the earth 06Khor1    4:29 | in virtue, when the evil was washed away and purified as 06Khor1    5:42 | that Nimrod, who is Bēl, was an Ethiopian, and they have 06Khor1    5:42 | have persuaded us that this was indeed the case on account 06Khor1    5:45 | of Aramaneak, of Hayk, who was the opponent of Bēl and 06Khor1    5:48 | those who say that Ninos was the son of Bēl or 06Khor1    5:48 | of Bēl or that he was Bēl himself, for neither the 06Khor1    6:10 | the Medes, said that he was the origin and father of 06Khor1    6:11 | war against him, for he was planning to make his own 06Khor1    6:21 | follows: “Old men, when I was among the Greeks studying wisdom 06Khor1    7:3 | For they say that Hephaistos was their first man and the 06Khor1    8:2 | the Persians and Parthians, who was Parthian by race, having rebelled 06Khor1    9:8 | set before him, and he was equally happy that his brother 06Khor1    9:9 | in Greek on which there was, he says, the following caption 06Khor1    9:10 | of the ancients and ancestors, was translated at the command of 06Khor1    9:18 | One of these men was Hayk, descended from Yapetost’ē, the 06Khor1    10:2 | Hayk, he says, was handsome and personable, with curly 06Khor1    10:3 | Among the giants he was the bravest and most famous 06Khor1    10:4 | Bēl when the human race was breeding over the breadth of 06Khor1    11:8 | And knowing that he was close to my house, I 06Khor1    11:15 | of the land.

The latter was killed by his own troops 06Khor2    76:8 | Khaḷtik’; likewise, his brother Florian was killed eighty-eight days later 06Khor2    77:3 | family of the Amatunik’, who was related by marriage to that 06Khor2    77:3 | that of the Sḷkunik’ and was the foster father of Khosrovidukht 06Khor2    77:6 | the fire of Ormizd, which was on the altar at Bagavan 06Khor2    78:3 | be, he discovered that it was Artavazd of the Mandakuni family 06Khor2    78:5 | But a certain Tachat, who was from the family of Ashots’ 06Khor2    79:2 | delighted in horse riding; he was an expert horseman, dexterous in 06Khor2    79:3 | races of the hippodrome, he was thrown by the skill of 06Khor2    79:4 | Probus against the Goths there was a great famine. Finding no 06Khor2    79:5 | of Licinius, with whom Trdat was living 06Khor2    79:7 | Euphrates. In the battle Carus was killed at Ṙinon 06Khor2    79:8 | in the company of Trdat, was slaughtered with his army; those 06Khor2    79:9 | At this point Trdat’s horse was wounded so he did not 06Khor2    79:9 | his own army, where Licinius was 06Khor2    79:10 | In those days Numerian was killed in Thrace, and Diocletian 06Khor2    80:2 | and insignificant people, whose name was Burdar, went from Persia to 06Khor2    80:11 | they go to him. This was hardly because of fear of 06Khor2    80:11 | appear proud when their father was consecrated and made glorious 06Khor2    81:10 | not displease you that I was unable to hand over to 06Khor2    82:4 | fortress with great constancy. He was a just and persevering man 06Khor2    82:5 | Similarly his protégée Khosrovidukht was a modest maiden, like a 06Khor2    82:8 | It was the latter who in the 06Khor2    82:8 | latter who in the future was to warn his father-in 06Khor2    82:8 | the king first that Gregory was Anak’s son and later about 06Khor2    83:1 | to Maximina, and how he was converted 06Khor2    83:2 | be his wife. This maiden was no less tall than the 06Khor2    83:4 | From her was born a son Khosrov, who 06Khor2    83:5 | Diocletian, in Nicomedia; her husband was the Emperor Constantine, son of 06Khor2    83:8 | became emperor and while he was still Caesar, was defeated in 06Khor2    83:8 | while he was still Caesar, was defeated in battle; when in 06Khor2    83:8 | of stars from heaven, which was surrounded by an inscription saying 06Khor2    83:8 | and bearing it before him was victorious in his wars 06Khor2    83:9 | of his presumption he himself was afflicted with elephantine leprosy over 06Khor2    83:13 | Being instructed by him he was converted, and then God removed 06Khor2    84:3 | law, the old Awtay who was of the Amatuni family and 06Khor2    84:5 | himself in his castle, which was called Oḷakan, where he had 06Khor2    84:11 | and persuaded him that he was truly a sincere ally until 06Khor2    84:15 | wrote an edict that he was to have authority over all 06Khor2    85:4 | someone with his sword; he was, however, wearing chain armor, which 06Khor2    85:5 | And because he was unable to dislodge the giant 06Khor2    85:5 | his horse’s chest. The giant was quick, not so much to 06Khor2    85:7 | all the Armenians, Artavazd Mandakuni, was killed - yet Trdat took hostages 06Khor2    86:5 | air darkened - although his vision was not obscured - according to the 06Khor2    86:6 | By such darkness was Mihran enveloped, which became for 06Khor2    86:7 | to worship Nunē’s God. This was granted him, and he fulfilled 06Khor2    86:13 | grounds that their whole forest was full of such objects 06Khor2    86:14 | of cloud, and the mountain was filled with a sweet odor 06Khor2    86:14 | a sweet odor, and there was heard the sound of a 06Khor2    87:5 | This Perozamat was the boy whom Burz had 06Khor2    87:6 | When he reached puberty, he was established by Artashir in his 06Khor2    87:7 | He was a valiant man, wonderfully adept 06Khor2    87:7 | when he defeated Vzurk, who was called Khak’an, the latter, vanquished 06Khor2    87:8 | Although he was esteemed by Artashir he would 06Khor2    87:8 | battles defeated him. But he was poisoned by Shapuh’s friends and 06Khor2    87:9 | lived another Vzurk Khak’an who was an enemy of Kamsar, his 06Khor2    87:11 | of his intrepid assaults he was struck by someone on the 06Khor2    87:11 | the bone of his skull was removed. Although he was cured 06Khor2    87:11 | skull was removed. Although he was cured by medicines, the curve 06Khor2    87:11 | and for this reason he was called Kamsar 06Khor2    88:4 | For first he was found to be doing violence 06Khor2    88:6 | When the plot was revealed and he knew that 06Khor2    88:9 | showed that the Roman empire was one; and he celebrated his 06Khor2    88:13 | This was later renewed by the Roman 06Khor2    88:14 | players, and the hippodrome, which was unfinished 06Khor2    89:3 | Therefore a command was promulgated by the Emperor Constantine 06Khor2    89:10 | at the moment when he was baptizing Gregory, the father of 06Khor2    89:10 | multitude saw save Leontius, who was baptizing him, and our Aristakēs 06Khor2    90:4 | Saint Gregory was delighted and added a few 06Khor2    90:5 | that time their kinsman Kamsar was baptized with his relatives by 06Khor2    90:9 | own name, because previously it was called Eraskhadzor 06Khor2    91:5 | There was a certain woman, Manē by 06Khor2    91:5 | For this reason, the mountain was named “Caves of Manē,” and 06Khor2    91:9 | After him Aristakēs was patriarch for seven years, from 06Khor2    91:10 | Truly he was a spiritual sword, according to 06Khor2    91:10 | to the saying [cf. Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12], and thus was accounted an enemy of all 06Khor2    91:14 | years and on his death was transposed to the ranks of 06Khor2    91:15 | place without knowing who he was 06Khor2    91:16 | It was indeed fitting that they who 06Khor2    91:19 | as is clear to all, was a Parthian by origin, from 06Khor2    92:2 | respects, apart from that, Trdat was his equal in words and 06Khor2    92:3 | life, but the king’s merit was greater in subjecting people to 06Khor2    92:27 | modestly and gently as he was instructed, “lest anyone outside hear 06Khor2    92:30 | the blood of Zachariah, which was shed between the temple and 06Khor3    2:2 | Trdat’s death Vrt’anēs the Great was at the martyrium of Saint 06Khor3    2:3 | tomb of his brother Aristakēs was. He mourned over this land 06Khor3    3:6 | When he arrived, he was a model of integrity and 06Khor3    3:6 | of his fathers. But he was superior to them by reason 06Khor3    4:3 | the great prince Bakur, who was entitled the bdeashkh of Aḷdznik’ 06Khor3    4:3 | wish to reign because he was not an Arsacid, nonetheless he 06Khor3    6:3 | The first was Bagarat the aspet, as general 06Khor3    6:3 | the western force; the second was Mihran, prince of Georgia and 06Khor3    6:3 | the northern army; the third was Vahan, prince of the Amatunik’ 06Khor3    6:3 | the eastern force; the fourth was Manachihr, prince of the Ṙshtunik’ 06Khor3    6:6 | behind King Khosrov - for he was small of person and weak 06Khor3    7:4 | himself to the king, Manachihr was even more vexed and at 06Khor3    7:6 | from which the whole province was visible, he cursed Manachihr and 06Khor3    7:7 | And God’s judgment was not slow to overtake him 06Khor3    8:3 | Although he was small in body, yet he 06Khor3    8:3 | small in body, yet he was not so small as Alexander 06Khor3    8:3 | as Alexander of Macedon who was only three cubits high, though 06Khor3    8:4 | But Khosrov was unconcerned for valor and good 06Khor3    8:4 | birds and other game. It was for this reason that he 06Khor3    8:6 | at that time the sun was in Ares, and there were 06Khor3    9:5 | giant completely enveloped in felt, was assaulting the main body of 06Khor3    9:10 | the land of Tsop’k’ he was a faithful and unjealous witness 06Khor3    10:2 | that Shapuh, the Persian king, was assisting his enemies, he broke 06Khor3    10:3 | reigned for nine years. He was taken and buried in Ani 06Khor3    11:3 | abandoned all piety, although he was unable to serve vice openly 06Khor3    11:5 | at the latter’s orders he was taken and buried in the 06Khor3    11:6 | fourth year of Tiran; he was a true follower of the 06Khor3    13:4 | host of cavalry, and he was very greatly honored by him 06Khor3    13:5 | on the grounds that he was unable to ride. Julian agreed 06Khor3    14:5 | After his death Tiran was cursed by the old priest 06Khor3    15:1 | army, seceded from Julian, and was slaughtered with his family 06Khor3    15:2 | of the Rshtunik*, Zawray, who was the general of the Armenian 06Khor3    15:8 | say of us that it was by force and not of 06Khor3    15:10 | When Tiran saw this, he was very frightened, and he sent 06Khor3    15:10 | he sent his mardpet, who was called Hayr, and with an 06Khor3    15:13 | his brother Mehendak, escaped and was saved by his tutors 06Khor3    16:3 | of At’anagenēs’ called Nersēs. He was being educated in Caesarea and 06Khor3    16:4 | And since there was no man from Gregory’s family 06Khor3    17:1 | How Tiran was deceived by Shapuh when he 06Khor3    17:1 | went to his summons and was blinded by him 06Khor3    17:2 | accordance with his just deserts, was wounded in the intestines and 06Khor3    17:8 | crossing your country, which he was about to do. So, when 06Khor3    17:11 | of old [cf. 4 Kings 25:7]. So rightly vengeance was exacted for that saintly man 06Khor3    17:11 | man by whom our land was illuminated, according to the saying 06Khor3    17:12 | So he too was deprived of the light after 06Khor3    19:2 | In those times a disturbance was fomented by the northern nations 06Khor3    19:3 | The Greek emperor was Valentinian, and he sent a 06Khor3    19:10 | than Achilles, but in truth was like the lame and pointed 06Khor3    20:4 | the root of inhumanity, which was the natural custom in our 06Khor3    20:9 | to a certain Khad, who was his deacon from the meadows 06Khor3    20:13 | could see that our country was not like uncivilized barbarians but 06Khor3    21:2 | Valentinian was strict and very terrible against 06Khor3    21:4 | because at that moment he was in a state of great 06Khor3    21:5 | the borders of Armenia, Arshak was frightened and sent Nersēs the 06Khor3    21:6 | king to make peace and was greatly honored by them the 06Khor3    22:2 | blinded grandfather Tiran, for he was still alive 06Khor3    22:6 | Vardan, the king’s squire who was of the Mamikonian family, they 06Khor3    22:11 | For it was the custom only for the 06Khor3    22:14 | son Arshak, for which he was secretly strangled by his own 06Khor3    22:14 | at the king’s command. He was buried in that same town 06Khor3    23:2 | province of Kogayovit. The prey was so abundant that when Arshak 06Khor3    23:9 | a multitude of game, he was pricked by thoughts of envy 06Khor3    24:1 | Gnel’s wife, from whom Pap was born 06Khor3    24:2 | deeds in secret, that which was not hidden from the all 06Khor3    24:2 | all-seeing eye of God was also revealed to the world 06Khor3    24:4 | his wife P’aṙandzem. From her was born a son who was 06Khor3    24:4 | was born a son who was called Pap 06Khor3    25:2 | with the northern nations and was free of war, he revealed 06Khor3    25:10 | delay, Vasak accomplished, although Vardan was his brother 06Khor3    25:11 | So was the innocent blood of Gnel 06Khor3    26:3 | Antiochus, prince of Siunik’, who was Arshak’s father-in-law and 06Khor3    26:5 | There was a fierce battle, and many 06Khor3    27:1 | How Arshakavan was built and destroyed, and Ani 06Khor3    27:4 | Immediately the whole valley was filled with a sea of 06Khor3    27:4 | there for refuge, and there was no punishment or investigation 06Khor3    27:7 | do not know if this was to insult Arshak or for 06Khor3    27:10 | for each one of them was embittered against his own slaves 06Khor3    27:11 | Although Nersēs the Great was quickly informed of the matter 06Khor3    27:12 | later became a town and was called Ort’k’ (“baskets”) for that 06Khor3    29:2 | the same nations while peace was forged with the Greeks, according 06Khor3    29:2 | for this side’s disturbance. What was the end for one was 06Khor3    29:2 | was the end for one was the beginning for the other 06Khor3    29:8 | own nobles and that he was abandoned by everyone, he sent 06Khor3    29:11 | would serve him sincerely. This was agreed between them 06Khor3    30:2 | the episcopal throne of Byzantium was occupied by Macedonius, the Pneumatomachos 06Khor3    30:4 | he did not agree, he was exiled. The voyage took place 06Khor3    31:2 | While Nersēs the Great was in exile Arshak violated all 06Khor3    31:3 | of the Kamsarakan because he was envious of their fortress of 06Khor3    31:5 | Nerseh. For this reason, he was not present at their massacre 06Khor3    31:8 | he reproached the king, he was awesome, stern, and fearless 06Khor3    31:9 | a single respect, for he was fastidious in his dress and 06Khor3    31:9 | of horses. For this he was blamed and mocked in return 06Khor3    33:1 | Great, and the council that was held concerning the Pneumatomachoi 06Khor3    33:2 | the example of eternal hell, was consumed by fire at Adrianople 06Khor3    33:4 | for their orthodoxy. Among these was Nersēs the Great, whom he 06Khor3    33:4 | honor until the true faith was confirmed with regard to the 06Khor3    34:2 | When Shapuh was again free of wars he 06Khor3    34:2 | a certain Alanaozan Pahlavik, who was a relative of Arshak’s, with 06Khor3    34:7 | unwillingly went to Shapuh and was imprisoned by him. He was 06Khor3    34:7 | was imprisoned by him. He was compelled to write that his 06Khor3    35:2 | to Arshak realized that he was demanding their wives as well 06Khor3    35:2 | had come for that purpose was small, they combined to expel 06Khor3    35:6 | defenses, yet because God’s anger was on Arshak the garrison of 06Khor3    35:11 | refused to do that he was martyred 06Khor3    36:7 | on the pretext that it was to prevent the Armenians from 06Khor3    36:7 | Greeks. But in reality, it was to destroy the teaching of 06Khor3    37:5 | The battle was waged on the plain called 06Khor3    37:6 | aspet, son of Bagarat, who was from the Bagratuni family 06Khor3    37:12 | descending to the sea - such was the entire Greek line escending 06Khor3    37:13 | appearance of these armed warriors was like water 06Khor3    37:14 | Moses until the second Amalek was defeated 06Khor3    37:17 | When battle was joined Spandarat Kamsarakan encountered a 06Khor3    37:17 | a large detachment in which was the brave Shergir, king of 06Khor3    37:20 | Among these was Urnayr, king of the Aḷuank’ 06Khor3    37:21 | because the impious Mehrujan’s horse was wounded, he was unable to 06Khor3    37:21 | Mehrujan’s horse was wounded, he was unable to make a quick 06Khor3    37:23 | And while it was still red hot, he placed 06Khor3    37:23 | and thus the wicked one was killed 06Khor3    37:24 | Thenceforth the land was peaceful and subject to Pap’s 06Khor3    38:2 | were over and our land was peaceful, Nersēs the Great established 06Khor3    38:5 | But because he was debauched with a shameful passion 06Khor3    38:5 | shameful passion for which he was reproached and blamed by Nersēs 06Khor3    38:5 | hatched a wicked plot. He was unable to do him any 06Khor3    39:2 | of Aḷbianos called Shahak, who was not unworthy of praise, and 06Khor3    39:3 | to a battle; the emperor was victorious and slaughtered fifteen thousand 06Khor3    39:8 | Great, but for his insolence was put to death with the 06Khor3    40:3 | This Varazdat was young in years, spirited, personable 06Khor3    40:4 | killed lions, for which he was praised and honored by the 06Khor3    40:5 | bold to say that he was the equal of Saint Trdat 06Khor3    40:16 | became archbishop of Armenia; he was from the same family as 06Khor3    41:6 | Armenia for five years; he was related to Shahak and Zavēn 06Khor3    42:2 | When Shapuh realized that Arcadius was a deceitful man, he made 06Khor3    42:3 | years when the blessed Theodosius was alive, nonetheless the generals were 06Khor3    42:5 | because of his mother who was in the imperial capital, but 06Khor3    42:5 | because he thought that it was better to rule over a 06Khor3    43:2 | Babik lord of Siunik’, who was Arshak’s father-in-law; Gazavon 06Khor3    43:4 | like Sahak the aspet, who was the father-in-law of 06Khor3    43:5 | Then a false accusation was lodged against him by his 06Khor3    45:2 | the time opportune, for Arshak was removing his treasures from the 06Khor3    45:3 | entrance to the cave there was a massive, vertical cliff, above 06Khor3    45:3 | ceaselessly over and over; nowhere was there a foothold 06Khor3    45:4 | Therefore Samuel was thrown into doubt and anxiety 06Khor3    45:7 | Khosrov’s force with which he was pursuing the brigands 06Khor3    45:10 | And this was the cause of the war 06Khor3    46:4 | entering his territory. But he was unable to move quickly enough 06Khor3    46:6 | Arshak’s army was defeated, and his commander-in 06Khor3    46:6 | in- chief Dara of Siunik’ was killed in the battle. Arshak 06Khor3    46:10 | sector, but the valiant Gazavon was the presiding prince of that 06Khor3    47:2 | and finding that the turmoil was a test for his patience 06Khor3    47:2 | for his patience, Mesrop - who was from Hats’ekk’ in Tarawn and 06Khor3    47:4 | of the province whose name was Shabit’ 06Khor3    47:6 | help of its prince who was called Vaḷinak 06Khor3    47:7 | no little hardship, for he was both reader and translator. And 06Khor3    47:7 | someone else read when he was not present, it was unintelligible 06Khor3    47:7 | he was not present, it was unintelligible to the people since 06Khor3    47:7 | to the people since there was no translator 06Khor3    48:19 | princes to King Khosrov; he was favored with good fortune and 06Khor3    48:21 | of his Artsruni uncles, he was unable to abandon the Greeks 06Khor3    49:3 | And since Arcadius was fearful of a coalition of 06Khor3    50:2 | Shapuh was angry at Khosrov for his 06Khor3    50:10 | company were killed. But Pargev was captured and taken before Artashir 06Khor3    51:2 | Sahak the Great when there was an end to the male 06Khor3    51:2 | a daughter called Sahakanoysh who was given in marriage to Hamazasp 06Khor3    51:4 | of kings, remembering that it was for such things that his 06Khor3    51:6 | He was greatly honored by him: first 06Khor3    51:16 | them through his healing and was even more of a benefactor 06Khor3    51:21 | Sahak the Great, and there was peace between Vṙam and Arcadius 06Khor3    51:22 | Vṙamshapuh ruled our country and was subject to both kings, paying 06Khor3    52:2 | the Great. The Greek empire was in turmoil and their armies 06Khor3    52:8 | family, Vahrich by name, who was very enthusiastic for this matter 06Khor3    52:10 | them, they realized that it was not possible through these letters 06Khor3    52:10 | satisfactory way because the script was a foreign one 06Khor3    54:2 | had died his son, who was called Theodosius the Less, ruled 06Khor3    55:7 | Hamazasp died and when Sahak was in mourning, nobody brought the 06Khor3    55:8 | all the exiles. But he was unable to win over the 06Khor3    55:23 | what sort of man he was 06Khor3    56:4 | on that same day Shapuh was also killed by the treachery 06Khor3    56:6 | tumult and great confusion and was ruined and despoiled. Therefore, taxes 06Khor3    56:6 | common people, and all organization was thrown into confusion and destroyed 06Khor3    57:2 | to the Greek part but was not received in a suitably 06Khor3    57:28 | the completion of this invention was due to divine grace, we 06Khor3    60:7 | prince of Gardman, whose name was Khurs 06Khor3    60:8 | Then he was invited by the bdeashkh of 06Khor3    60:8 | that time a certain Ardzil was king of Georgia 06Khor3    60:9 | the village of Koḷb who was called Eznik, and sent them 06Khor3    61:1 | the council of Ephesus, which was held on account of the 06Khor3    61:3 | a beginning he claimed, but was called Son by grace from 06Khor3    61:3 | grace from Mary and another was Son from the Father before 06Khor3    61:8 | of our technique their work was found to be deficient at 06Khor3    62:8 | the teacher of whom I was not found an unworthy pupil 06Khor3    62:8 | found an unworthy pupil; nor was my study incomplete through which 06Khor3    63:11 | the princes, supposing that he was acting deceitfully to delay them 06Khor3    64:3 | minister of the Aryans, who was of the Surenean Pahlav, to 06Khor3    64:9 | a Persian Marzban whose name was Veh-Mihr-Shapuh 06Khor3    64:10 | But it was not more than a year 06Khor3    64:10 | than a year before Surmak was expelled from the throne by 06Khor3    65:8 | swine to be trampled [cf. Matt. 7:6], but was so dazzling that the tongues 06Khor3    65:8 | to ashes. The king himself was astonished and confused, and all 06Khor3    65:9 | for the future as it was established by Artashir and has 06Khor3    66:3 | Therefore he was hated by all the bishops 06Khor3    66:8 | not accept; and when he was importuned and pressed by many 06Khor3    66:9 | it and realized that it was by divine command that the 06Khor3    67:6 | Although he was born a mortal, he left 06Khor3    67:6 | He honored the image and was fearful of his caller; he 06Khor3    67:6 | such a life that there was no imperfection found in him 06Khor3    67:8 | granddaughter-in-law whose name was Dstrik, the wife of Vardan 06Khor3    67:11 | way of life; but he was gentle, kind, and benevolent, and 06Khor3    67:11 | he showed everyone that he was adorned with the virtues of 06Khor3    67:12 | He was angelic in appearance, fertile of 06Khor3    67:14 | gave up the ghost.

He was a true Christian 07Seb1    46:59 | down the true faith, which was proclaimed to us at Nicaea 07Seb1    46:63 | powerful, holy and immortal, who was crucified for us, have mercy 07Seb1    46:67 | old and early philosophers fornication was considered very impure and loathsome 07Seb1    46:68 | from approaching a woman it was allowed to enter the palace 07Seb1    46:70 | hands, but with tongs; nor was the prophet worthy to taste 07Seb1    46:73 | afterwards the light of Nicaea was established for us through that 07Seb1    46:74 | say the council of Chalcedon was true, because they said that 07Seb1    46:75 | the heresy of Eutyches, it was in a manner! similar to 07Seb1    46:76 | the power of both natures was more soundly preserved. And uniting 07Seb1    46:78 | faith), (declare) that the body was not simply human, but the 07Seb1    46:78 | simply human, but the divinity was in the body 07Seb1    47:2 | this.’ The same tempest was visible over Babylon, but has 07Seb1    47:5 | So the saying was fulfilled: ’The fourth beast, the 07Seb1    47:6 | from which the civil war was never free, and the flowing 07Seb1    47:7 | Manuēl, the virtuous man who was father-in-law of Smbat 07Seb1    47:9 | Magistros was the prince of the army 07Seb1    47:9 | to all the troops; Smbat was the prince of the army 07Seb1    47:11 | He went, but was unable to trick him, especially 07Seb1    47:11 | him, especially because the plan was not hidden from him.

But let us 07Seb1    48:10 | letter from their prince, which was written in the following terms 07Seb1    48:16 | Arp’ayk’. His son Grigor, who was son-in-law of the 07Seb1    49:1 | Armenian Catholicos Nersēs, for he was by origin from Tayk’, from 07Seb1    49:1 | the village called Ishkhan. He was raised from his youth in 07Seb1    49:2 | that land, from which he was called to the throne of 07Seb1    49:2 | throne of the Catholicosate. He was a man virtuous in conduct 07Seb1    49:3 | and the council of Chalcedon was proclaimed in the church of 07Seb1    49:3 | on a Sunday. The liturgy was celebrated in Greek by a 07Seb1    49:6 | However, he was confuted by a certain bishop 07Seb1    49:7 | But when the liturgy was offered and all the bishops 07Seb1    49:9 | The king was troubled and ordered two men 07Seb1    49:16 | With extreme urgency the king was pressed to come quickly to 07Seb1    49:19 | winter had passed and it was near to the great Easter 07Seb1    49:21 | and Muawiya, prince of Ismael, was broken. The king of Ismael 07Seb1    50:3 | you call Christ, since he was unable to save himself from 07Seb1    50:11 | great tempest, and the sea was stirred up from the depths 07Seb1    50:14 | land. The other army, which was quartered in Cappadocia, attacked the 07Seb1    50:15 | autumn had passed and winter was approaching, the army of Ismael 07Seb1    50:15 | up quarters at Dvin. It was planning to put Iberia to 07Seb1    50:19 | the island of Ałt’amar. He was quite unable to come out 07Seb1    50:20 | that sort happened. For there was no place for flight or 07Seb1    50:20 | mercy from above; but it was as if one might fall 07Seb1    51:4 | Ismael saw that their enterprise was not succeeding in the difficult 07Seb1    52:2 | the army of Ismael that was quartered in Armenia took control 07Seb1    52:3 | blessed and pious Artavazd Dimak’sean was betrayed and handed over to 07Seb1    52:4 | It was the days of piercing winter 07Seb1    52:4 | general of the Greek army was a certain Mawrianos, who they 07Seb1    52:4 | certain Mawrianos, who they said was a trustworthy man 07Seb1    52:8 | of Ṙshtunik’, died. His body was brought to his own province 07Seb1    52:9 | man in all respects. He was a domesticated man, a lover 07Seb1    52:9 | reading and study. But he was not trained and experienced in 07Seb1    52:11 | returned to his position and was reestablished on the throne of 07Seb1    52:14 | the hostages with the Ismaelites, was therefore unable to withdraw from 07Seb1    52:17 | of Ismael, and their unity was split. They fell into mutual 07Seb1    52:17 | into four sections. One part ( was composed of) those in the 07Seb1    52:19 | That prince who was in the region of Asorestan 07Seb1    52:19 | Asorestan, their prince called Muawiya, was the second after their king 07Seb1    52:20 | But the army which was in Egypt united with the 07Seb1    52:23 | For even if it was fulfilled earlier in those first 07Seb1    52:25 | clearly indicates that the fire was kindled in the desert, by 08Ghev1    1:0 | Emperor Heraclius [610-641] of Byzantium, Muhammad was succeeded by Abu Bakr [632-634], ’Umar 08Ghev1    1:0 | as the God-crowned Heraclius was living, the Arabs did not 08Ghev1    1:0 | because Heraclius’ reputation for bravery was widespread, and he terrified them 08Ghev1    1:8 | who had grown strong and was coming against them 08Ghev1    1:12 | the army of the Byzantines was unable to resist the Ishmaelites 08Ghev1    2:0 | shah of Iran whose name was Yazdgird (Yazkert) [III, 632-651], the grandson of 08Ghev1    2:1 | troops to battle, but he was unable to withstand them 08Ghev1    2:5 | Byzantine general named Procopius, who was encamped in the district of 08Ghev1    2:7 | T’e’odoros R’shtunik’, who was embittered by the destruction of 08Ghev1    2:7 | angry at the prince who was in his presence, threw the 08Ghev1    2:7 | presence, threw the scepter he was holding in his hand at 08Ghev1    3:0 | the Byzantine emperor Constantine, who was Heraclius’ grandson, news reached Prince 08Ghev1    3:1 | at the Dzora pass, but was unable to get there in 08Ghev1    3:5 | They did not know who was more worthy of lamentation, those 08Ghev1    3:7 | of the earth. And there was none to bury them 08Ghev1    4:1 | year of (Mu’awiya’s) reign, which was the twenty-fifth year of 08Ghev1    4:4 | to T’e’odoros R’shtuni, who previously was the (presiding) prince, saying: “Arise 08Ghev1    4:9 | the collapse of his authority was the Lord’s doing.

There was great peace during the years 08Ghev1    4:16 | ’Abd al-Malik was a cruel and warlike man 08Ghev1    4:16 | year of his rule there was a fierce conflict, warfare, and 08Ghev1    4:16 | the blood of the guilty was shed and God demanded vengeance 08Ghev1    4:17 | raids and attacks.

He was buried in his (clan’s) mausoleum 08Ghev1    6:1 | emperor of the Byzantines, who was called Apsimar and who succeeded 08Ghev1    6:1 | the son of Varaztirots’. This was in revenge for Smbat’s desertion 08Ghev1    7:1 | our land. The military commander was the bloodthirsty and diabolical Muhammad 08Ghev1    7:12 | of their satanic father, who was a murderer from the very 08Ghev1    7:16 | Gone was the fragrance of sweet-smelling 08Ghev1    8:1 | His treachery was quickly revealed to Smbat of 08Ghev1    8:2 | The decision adopted was to yield and leave the 08Ghev1    8:3 | these matters. For the monk was a blessed and select man 08Ghev1    8:4 | of the lordly clans, but was unable to suggest anything except 08Ghev1    8:17 | him with many entreaties and was able to save those who 08Ghev1    8:24 | of the Ishmaelite troops who was their commander sought reconciliation, in 08Ghev1    8:28 | promised not to kill, he was thrown into the depths of 08Ghev1    9:1 | about the strengthened marauder who was coming against them, they entreated 08Ghev1    9:2 | As Sahak was departing the land, he greeted 08Ghev1    10:2 | While this wickedness was incubating in their hearts, the 08Ghev1    10:7 | commanded a certain Kasim, who was his commander in the Naxchawan 08Ghev1    10:8 | into two groups: one half was gathered into the church of 08Ghev1    10:8 | Naxchawan, while the other half was sent to the town of 08Ghev1    10:14 | kept on dry land. This was done so that perhaps they 08Ghev1    10:18 | of the Ishmaelites whose name was al-Walid 08Ghev1    10:19 | certain ’Abd al-Aziz, who was hard of hearing. Despite this 08Ghev1    10:19 | of hearing. Despite this he was sagacious and full of wordly 08Ghev1    10:21 | since that act of impiety was carried out on that very 08Ghev1    10:24 | Aziz said about himself, “I was the one who destroyed Dwin 08Ghev1    10:24 | I shall rebuild it. I was a twelve-year-old lad 08Ghev1    11:4 | king of the Chinese, who was called Chenbakur, read this document 08Ghev1    11:11 | As soon as the crossing was finished, the emperor of the 08Ghev1    12:5 | forces—whose renown for bravery was acclaimed among all peoples—and 08Ghev1    12:6 | against brigade. Rather, the combat was wrestling. The Khaqan was delaying 08Ghev1    12:6 | combat was wrestling. The Khaqan was delaying entering the fray until 08Ghev1    12:8 | forests as he went. Thus was he able to take to 08Ghev1    13:1 | They say that ‘Umar [II] was more noble than all the 08Ghev1    13:2 | But once ’Umar’s rule was established, he released all the 08Ghev1    13:3 | power of our faith, which was composed in the form of 08Ghev1    13:6 | you, tell me truly, why was it that Jesus and His 08Ghev1    13:7 | worthy of credence, since He was near to God, and knew 08Ghev1    13:8 | You declare that the Code was more than once written by 08Ghev1    13:8 | understood it, and that it was many times lost, so that 08Ghev1    13:8 | for a long time there was nothing of it remaining among 08Ghev1    13:8 | heads. You admit that it was handed down from generation to 08Ghev1    14:9 | death. On the contrary it was the just Job who said 08Ghev1    14:11 | has been preached, after it was founded, propagated and believed. It 08Ghev1    14:20 | by men, but because it was the Word of God which 08Ghev1    14:23 | We know that it was Abraham who earlier received the 08Ghev1    14:23 | mission of Christ, and it was to him that God said 08Ghev1    14:28 | of such loss when nothing was left from the Books, some 08Ghev1    14:31 | When we say that it was the Hebrews who composed the 08Ghev1    14:41 | object of proving that it was He Himself who had, through 08Ghev1    14:43 | says of himself that “I was among the exiles by the 08Ghev1    14:43 | prophesied in Babylon, for it was there that he was cast 08Ghev1    14:43 | it was there that he was cast into the lions’ den 08Ghev1    14:44 | There it was also that the events of 08Ghev1    14:45 | have stated that “the Testament was composed by human genius.” I 08Ghev1    14:45 | with them the Testament, there was seen the marvellous work of 08Ghev1    14:45 | of God, for when it was compared with the edition of 08Ghev1    14:45 | edition of Esdras, the latter was found completely in conformity with 08Ghev1    14:50 | God would institute all that was necessary through the ministry of 08Ghev1    14:52 | other prophets? And if He was going to let every-thing 08Ghev1    14:53 | made by God to Moses was only a preparation for the 08Ghev1    14:56 | have us declare that it was written by God and brought 08Ghev1    14:56 | although we know that it was ’Umar, Abu Turab, and Salman 08Ghev1    14:57 | with us Christians. If this was so, how dare you accuse 08Ghev1    14:57 | or from adding that it was God who sent it down 08Ghev1    14:59 | I repeat, it was for this reason that Jesus 08Ghev1    14:63 | achieve the eternal justice that was to come. By the ministry 08Ghev1    14:75 | everywhere in your nation. This was easier by far to undertake 08Ghev1    14:75 | single language, a task which was indeed achieved 08Ghev1    14:81 | Listen to what Moses was told: “I am the God 08Ghev1    14:85 | I was forced to make use of 08Ghev1    14:89 | to the Holy Scriptures. Adam was a man, (and in rendering 08Ghev1    14:90 | It is evident that Adam was created in the image of 08Ghev1    14:90 | do you believe that it was his material body full of 08Ghev1    14:90 | Never. On the contrary, it was his soul, reason and word 08Ghev1    14:91 | deceived by the Tempter, he was robbed of the honor which 08Ghev1    14:91 | robbed of the honor which was vested in him by the 08Ghev1    14:93 | fallen in doing that which was pleasing to him Satan, was 08Ghev1    14:93 | was pleasing to him Satan, was touched with compassion for mankind 08Ghev1    14:94 | blindness of man’s spirit, man was unable to fully contemplate the 08Ghev1    14:95 | because no one among men was able to descend lower than 08Ghev1    14:99 | delights in him’.” [Psalm 22:6-7]. This prophecy was not accomplished by David, but 08Ghev1    14:109 | peoples subject to their dominion was more detestable than that of 08Ghev1    14:110 | ask why His (Christ’s) kingdom was elevated above that of Agag 08Ghev1    14:110 | Agag may have been, he was but temporal, while that of 08Ghev1    14:111 | not this indicate that Christ was, by His divinity, Son of 08Ghev1    14:117 | and have believed that He was God from God, because in 08Ghev1    14:121 | as to His human nature was a son of David, of 08Ghev1    14:121 | of David, of whom it was announced: “(Of the increase of 08Ghev1    14:124 | Holy Spirit spoke thus: “I was not rebellious, I turned not 08Ghev1    14:125 | along with all the others, was fulfilled in the person of 08Ghev1    14:125 | person of the Savior: He was sold by His disciple, and 08Ghev1    14:126 | astonished at him (his appearance was so marred, be-yond human 08Ghev1    14:127 | we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men 08Ghev1    14:127 | men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him 08Ghev1    14:128 | God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he 08Ghev1    14:128 | wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon 08Ghev1    14:128 | for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us 08Ghev1    14:129 | iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted 08Ghev1    14:129 | He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not 08Ghev1    14:130 | By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as his 08Ghev1    14:130 | generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the 08Ghev1    14:130 | done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth 08Ghev1    14:132 | Amram, and sister of Aaron, was the mother of our Lord 08Ghev1    14:132 | you had a countenance that was sensitive and not of stone 08Ghev1    14:139 | from me,” [Luke 22; 42], indicating that He was really man, since it is 08Ghev1    14:139 | that the Word of God was both perfect man and perfect 08Ghev1    14:141 | by the angels, though this was not to encourage Him, but 08Ghev1    14:141 | of His disciples that He was a mere man, such an 08Ghev1    14:141 | making them realize that He was in many respects above the 08Ghev1    14:144 | Him who sent me.” [John 12:45,48]. He was sent as a man, and 08Ghev1    14:146 | of His human body He was tempted by Satan, who, at 08Ghev1    14:146 | whom I am well pleased” [Matt. 3:17], was seized with horror, not being 08Ghev1    14:147 | the voice, proved that it was He alone to whom the 08Ghev1    14:147 | alone to whom the voice was addressed. The Evil One, by 08Ghev1    14:148 | Adam who, according to you, was created immediately by God, without 08Ghev1    14:151 | these words: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word 08Ghev1    14:151 | the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word 08Ghev1    14:151 | with God, and the Word was God. He was in the 08Ghev1    14:151 | the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God 08Ghev1    14:151 | through him, and without him was not anything made that was 08Ghev1    14:151 | was not anything made that was made 08Ghev1    14:153 | in common with us. (Jesus) was sent in His quality as 08Ghev1    14:154 | have not modified anything; it was the Lord Himself who, in 08Ghev1    14:157 | The true Lamb was preached as none other than 08Ghev1    14:159 | reason why this secret member was chosen (to serve this institution 08Ghev1    14:162 | divine institution of Baptism, it was announced to us by God 08Ghev1    14:165 | there be light, and there was light.” [Gen. 1:3]. It was on the 08Ghev1    14:165 | and there was light.” [Gen. 1:3]. It was on the same day that 08Ghev1    14:167 | Prophets of the Lord? It was for you and such as 08Ghev1    14:170 | you as an impure being, was nevertheless created not by a 08Ghev1    14:171 | only sin, which not only was not created by Him in 08Ghev1    14:171 | by Him in man, but was not even ordained. In fact 08Ghev1    14:175 | at the time of Moses was not consumed, man must be 08Ghev1    14:180 | corpse, as soon as it was cast into the tomb of 08Ghev1    14:184 | of the high priest (Aaron) was clean and holy having the 08Ghev1    14:190 | This house was existing long before Muhammad, and 08Ghev1    14:190 | existing long before Muhammad, and was the object of a cult 08Ghev1    14:195 | before God, for which he was grievously punished by the Lord 08Ghev1    14:201 | on the contrary, that Satan was most happy at seeing humanity 08Ghev1    14:202 | sufferings of the cross, he was seized with horror, and in 08Ghev1    14:203 | nature, in accord with what was said by the Prophet David 08Ghev1    14:204 | less for Himself, since He was spiritual, immortal and incorruptible, than 08Ghev1    14:209 | who appeared as two before was only one. He designates by 08Ghev1    14:210 | It was then the enemy who deplored 08Ghev1    14:216 | The Lord Himself, when He was upon earth, told us beforehand 08Ghev1    14:219 | their tyranny for [400] years. What was the reason for such a 08Ghev1    14:219 | alone knows; but surely it was not because their religion was 08Ghev1    14:219 | was not because their religion was just 08Ghev1    15:0 | Such was the reply written by Emperor 08Ghev1    15:0 | the latter read it, he was overcome by shame 08Ghev1    15:1 | as we narrated earlier, he was the one who released the 08Ghev1    16:0 | ruled for six years. He was a filthy man who wrought 08Ghev1    16:1 | in worshipping the Trinity. This was because the demon of fanaticism 08Ghev1    16:1 | faith. As it happened he was unable to move that rock 08Ghev1    16:1 | move that rock and instead was crushed by it 08Ghev1    16:2 | country. For once again fanaticism was roused in his mind by 08Ghev1    16:3 | When (Yazid) was approaching his demise and was 08Ghev1    16:3 | was approaching his demise and was close to death, the violence 08Ghev1    17:0 | Yazid [II] was succeeded by Sham, also known 08Ghev1    17:1 | land of the Armenians. This was aimed at making (even) more 08Ghev1    17:2 | to the point that everyone was groaning from the unrelenting, inescapable 08Ghev1    17:2 | unendurable oppression. Thereafter his hand was to weigh even more heavily 08Ghev1    18:0 | this period once again there was unrest in the northern areas 08Ghev1    18:0 | For the Khazar king, who was styled the Khaqan, had died 08Ghev1    18:1 | Then his mother who was named P’arsbit’ saw this, she 08Ghev1    18:2 | army and its general, who was named Djarrah (Jar’ay) (Djarrah ibn 08Ghev1    18:5 | seizing their (battle) emblem. This was a bronze statue which the 08Ghev1    18:7 | to kill him. However, he was unable to openly give such 08Ghev1    19:5 | army had stirred up and was) accompanied by a great cloud 08Ghev1    19:6 | here and there. Maslama himself was at the head of one 08Ghev1    19:7 | number of people taken captive was more than [80,000]. Then (the Arabs 08Ghev1    20:8 | emperor’s command the entire city was aroused (to go) to the 08Ghev1    20:15 | That is because it was not due to the righteousness 08Ghev1    20:16 | way the hard-hearted Pharaoh was consigned to the depths of 08Ghev1    20:17 | It was the wand of Moses which 08Ghev1    20:17 | them by drowning. That wand was the model of the all 08Ghev1    20:19 | in his own trap, as was fitting. For it was the 08Ghev1    20:19 | as was fitting. For it was the Lord Who hardened his 08Ghev1    20:21 | visitation from On High and ( was waiting to see) vengeance meted 08Ghev1    20:26 | the troops, clinging to planks, was carried to the far coast 08Ghev1    20:26 | kept besieged there as there was no means of their getting 08Ghev1    20:31 | from city to city, he was greeted with sighs and sobs 08Ghev1    20:32 | only make this response: “I was unable to fight against God 08Ghev1    21:5 | imposed upon) our land. This was due to the fact that 08Ghev1    21:7 | in silver for the cavalry was received without obstruction 08Ghev1    22:4 | However (Maslama) responded: “I was waging war not against men 08Ghev1    22:4 | but against God, while (Marwan) was fighting against irrational beasts 08Ghev1    23:0 | Hisham was succeeded by al-Walid (Vlit’ 08Ghev1    23:1 | He was a powerfully built strongman who 08Ghev1    23:2 | deeds of their prince who was steeped in such senseless and 08Ghev1    24:6 | a motley multitude. For this was the Lord’s revenge upon the 08Ghev1    24:7 | It was here that the prophecy of 08Ghev1    24:7 | that the prophecy of Amos was fulfilled (which says): “For three 08Ghev1    24:10 | that this city of sinners was full of many types of 08Ghev1    24:11 | Their fourth (iniquity) was that not only did they 08Ghev1    24:11 | of all good things.

That is how it was in this case 08Ghev1    25:12 | recognize his authority. For he was waiting for an opportune moment 08Ghev1    26:6 | the Pontus area, for there was an oath of peace between 08Ghev1    26:10 | besieged the place where he was resting.

And thereafter the glory 08Ghev1    26:14 | time the judgement of God was visited upon him, a punishment 08Ghev1    26:15 | in deep old age. He was entombed with glory in his 08Ghev1    27:1 | still held the caliphate and was fighting with his own clan 08Ghev1    27:3 | a certain Abu Muslim who was artful in the heresy of 08Ghev1    27:6 | forces. When Marwan realized what was unfolding, he was plunged into 08Ghev1    27:6 | realized what was unfolding, he was plunged into a great panic 08Ghev1    27:7 | the field of battle. There was protracted warfare between the two 08Ghev1    27:8 | of Marwan’s reign, God’s retribution was visited upon him as his 08Ghev1    27:8 | him as his own blood was demanded for the blood of 08Ghev1    27:9 | them so severely that it was said that some [300,000] cavalry were 08Ghev1    27:10 | of Marwan where (Marwan) himself was seized and killed. All these 08Ghev1    28:1 | to the point that he was demanding taxes from the dead 08Ghev1    28:7 | When he was leaving our land he placed 08Ghev1    28:8 | prince) [755-761], son of Bagarat, who was from the same House as 08Ghev1    28:8 | of his father’s brother. He was a tall, attractive man with 08Ghev1    28:9 | through the battles unwillingly. This was because at that point the 08Ghev1    30:1 | did not desist. Now there was a certain snake-like individual 08Ghev1    30:3 | against them and that there was nowhere to flee to, they 08Ghev1    30:4 | It was there that Hamazasp was fatally 08Ghev1    30:4 | It was there that Hamazasp was fatally stabbed, fell from his 08Ghev1    30:4 | fell from his horse and was surrounded by the enemy, who 08Ghev1    31:0 | While Yazid (ibn Usaid) was still ruling, he sent an 08Ghev1    31:0 | king of the north, who was called the Khaqan, seeking to 08Ghev1    31:2 | that peace treaty between them was dissolved because (the Khazars) suspected 08Ghev1    31:2 | Khazars) suspected that her death was the result of some treachery 08Ghev1    31:2 | army) to our land, which was under Yazid’s control 08Ghev1    31:6 | the ruination of the land was as nothing to him 08Ghev1    32:0 | land of the Armenians. He was an impious and bloodthirsty creature 08Ghev1    32:2 | of the Artsrunik’ House, he was unable to find any (foreign 08Ghev1    32:4 | came against him.

They were wickedly 08Ghev1    33:2 | others, unable to find what was demanded of them, died in 08Ghev1    33:3 | protested many times, Yazid, who was in charge of tax collection 08Ghev1    33:5 | even one full year—Bakkar was summoned back for no cause 08Ghev1    33:5 | Hasan (ibn Kahtaba al-Tai’i), [754-759] was sent as his replacement.

This was because with deceitful machinations he 08Ghev1    33:5 | because with deceitful machinations he was furthering the descent into torments 08Ghev1    33:6 | the prime mover in this) was not he; instead, he was 08Ghev1    33:6 | was not he; instead, he was implementing the will (of God 08Ghev1    33:6 | the corrector of princes. He was ( but) a witness to the 08Ghev1    33:7 | as we noted earlier, it was the Lord who hardened their 08Ghev1    33:8 | Beyond this there was the insulting of patriarchs, ridiculing 08Ghev1    34:2 | This (rebellion) was initiated by Artawazd of the 08Ghev1    34:8 | force and violence. Thus there was additional grief from taxes in 08Ghev1    34:9 | the lords, named Mushegh, who was the son of Count Hrahat 08Ghev1    34:22 | the rule of the Ishmaelites was ending. They were even more 08Ghev1    34:30 | and disastrous affair, since he was a prudent and brilliant man 08Ghev1    34:41 | with impregnable defending walls, which was named Baghdad 08Ghev1    34:43 | he entered the city, he was informed by the citizens there 08Ghev1    34:44 | Now Sahak’s son Ashot was in that city at the 08Ghev1    34:52 | Thus, while the Armenian brigade was battling against the fortress, (the 08Ghev1    34:53 | flight, almost none of them was able to save his own 08Ghev1    34:55 | Armenia, while the infidel enemy was delighted and overjoyed. After catching 08Ghev1    34:61 | other, initially the Armenian brigade was dominant, delivering many blows, putting 08Ghev1    34:67 | enemy, a multitude of angels was fighting on their side and 08Ghev1    34:69 | and handsome young man who was the son-in-law of 08Ghev1    34:71 | moment. And thus the country was plunged into deep despair and 08Ghev1    34:71 | preeminent warriors. For (the country) was bereft of their help and 08Ghev1    34:71 | bereft of their help and was betrayed into the hands of 08Ghev1    34:73 | Hrotits’ (December). Yet this tribulation was even more severe, since there 08Ghev1    34:73 | even more severe, since there was no way to grieve for 08Ghev1    35:4 | the verdict of righteous God was delivered upon him and he 08Ghev1    35:4 | shed by his hands. He was killed not by the sword 08Ghev1    36:3 | The caliph was brought to the mouth of 08Ghev1    36:3 | of the pit where he was trapped and received the punishment 08Ghev1    36:4 | Such was the revelation of that vision 08Ghev1    37:1 | He was much more noble than his 08Ghev1    37:2 | in need. And then there was plenty in the country, and 08Ghev1    37:3 | the discovery of silver. This was due to the additional discovery 08Ghev1    37:3 | his reign pure silver ore was extracted (which satisfied) the needs 08Ghev1    37:4 | generals, his own brother who was named ’Abas (al-’Abas ibn 08Ghev1    37:5 | While (al-Mahdi) was planning to begin raiding Byzantine 08Ghev1    37:5 | called Bishan (Commagene). (This army) was commanded by three generals, two 08Ghev1    37:5 | House, plus a third who was from the Byzantine army 08Ghev1    38:4 | called Amorium. Though the city was invested by this host of 08Ghev1    38:4 | to capture it, because it was ( well) protected by its walls 08Ghev1    39:2 | get food, and thus there was severe famine among the Ishmaelite 08Ghev1    39:10 | ’Umara ibn Kuzaim, ostikan) [781-785] who was then governor and chief of 08Ghev1    39:10 | their caliph claiming that it was not the will of the 08Ghev1    39:11 | rupture of his authority, he was unable (to reach him). This 08Ghev1    39:11 | unable (to reach him). This was because (‘Uthman’s allies) held all 08Ghev1    39:12 | son Harun a great disquiet was visited upon ’Uthman, the governor 08Ghev1    39:13 | fortified with a wall which was built to resist the troops 08Ghev1    39:14 | days (of summer) when Hephestus was at its peak, in the 08Ghev1    39:16 | troops. Caliph Muhammad (al-Mahdi) was enraged when he learned about 08Ghev1    40:1 | He was a wanton, impudent and possessed 08Ghev1    40:1 | inside him that when he was disporting himself in accordance with 08Ghev1    40:2 | When he was confirmed in his authority (as 08Ghev1    40:2 | as befitted his name he was contentious (xazmabar) and fiendish 08Ghev1    40:5 | verdict and unjust death sentence was sent to the prison where 08Ghev1    40:6 | As their death sentence was being read out, the captives 08Ghev1    40:6 | a man named K’ubeida, who was sympathetic to them and a 08Ghev1    40:6 | and a friend, if there was any way to elude the 08Ghev1    40:8 | Meruzhan heard this pronouncement he was terrified about his temporal death 08Ghev1    40:9 | But since this was done out of fear of 08Ghev1    40:13 | martyrdom would be completed. It was the blessed, glorious day of 08Ghev1    40:14 | Since he was previously cognizant of their firm 08Ghev1    40:15 | of torture which they used was of the latest design: two 08Ghev1    40:15 | right and left. The martyr was attached (to this device) with 08Ghev1    40:15 | to the wood. Then (Sahak) was beaten on the back with 08Ghev1    40:16 | Meanwhile the venerable Hamazasp was being held outside, in chains 08Ghev1    40:16 | making any audible sound. It was only in his heart that 08Ghev1    40:16 | aid in the tribulation he was about to face 08Ghev1    40:19 | bodies. So full of bitterness was the heart of that unjust 08Ghev1    40:19 | after their deaths (his heart) was not softened. Rather, he had 08Ghev1    40:22 | Georgians (Stephen) [III], the Guaramid, [779/780-786] also was cruelly slain, raised up by 08Ghev1    40:23 | Thus after his death, he was regarded as a sacrificial lamb 08Ghev1    41:0 | al-Rashid), [786-809] became caliph. He was the son of Muhammad (al 08Ghev1    41:0 | of Musa (al-Hadi), and was a greedy, money-loving man 08Ghev1    41:2 | meant. The first of these was a certain Yazid, the son 08Ghev1    41:2 | Mazyad al-Shaybani), [787-788, 799-801]. After him was Abd al-Kebir (Abdalk’bir)(Abd 08Ghev1    41:3 | Following him was a certain Sulaiman (Sulaiman ibn 08Ghev1    41:3 | Sulaiman ibn al-’Amri), [788-790] who was a greedy malefactor and the 08Ghev1    41:4 | all that they possessed, it was not enough to save themselves 08Ghev1    41:5 | of his maid-servants, who was of Greek nationality. He imposed 08Ghev1    41:6 | level of taxation, but it was of no avail. For the 08Ghev1    41:8 | Once this was accomplished, this son of satan 08Ghev1    42:0 | from then on, no one was master of his own belongings 08Ghev1    42:0 | his own belongings.

(It was written) by order of Lord 09Draskh1    1:5 | emboldened, I might duplicate what was already written and reject the 09Draskh1    1:9 | from him but that he was known as the ancestor of 09Draskh1    1:11 | holy Christian order of faith was spread throughout the world and 09Draskh1    1:11 | by the Apostle Bartholomew, who was one of the twelve, and 09Draskh1    1:13 | crown of the Armenian people was completely destroyed, and (narrate) how 09Draskh1    1:20 | receiving a throne from him, was properly laden with eminence and 09Draskh1    1:26 | to build Noah’s ark, which was made out of timber.

Although this book was extremely rich in historical accounts 09Draskh1    2:18 | that valiant and victorious champion, was the son of Togarmah, and 09Draskh1    3:3 | with a great tumult which was like the clamor of violent 09Draskh1    3:6 | in a beautiful plain which was seemingly fortified with tall summits 09Draskh1    3:15 | beautiful dastakert of Geghami, which was later named Garni after Garnik 09Draskh1    3:24 | of her passion alive, Ara was unintentionally killed amidst the warriors 09Draskh1    3:24 | warriors who were fighting.

When the caliph was informed of this, he immediately 09Draskh1    42:3 | Although the king was greatly displeased at this because 09Draskh1    42:3 | his pact with Yusuf, he was unable to set aside the 09Draskh1    42:4 | army which he had mustered was drawn up to help him 09Draskh1    42:6 | of life, but hidden underneath was the bitterness of death 09Draskh1    42:7 | proper way, he once again was allowed to subdue his former 09Draskh1    42:13 | the distinguished naxarars, whose name was Hasan—a prince in charge 09Draskh1    42:13 | king always heeded his advice— was afflicted with the evil passion 09Draskh1    42:15 | The latter was immediately snared by them, and 09Draskh1    42:18 | of Erazgawork’, for king Smbat was in Tashirk’ 09Draskh1    42:19 | Then, the king was informed by some about the 09Draskh1    42:21 | the news of this upheavel was heard throughout the domain of 09Draskh1    42:22 | Thus, when the whole army was gathered together, the king set 09Draskh1    42:26 | aid of Divine Providence, he was able to reestablish his suzerainty 09Draskh1    43:2 | prince Smbat of Sisakan, who was always devoid of the vanity 09Draskh1    43:5 | schemes of the ostikan, who was about to open the gates 09Draskh1    43:6 | of servitude, until Yusuf’s wickedness was completely exposed 09Draskh1    43:7 | when the veil (of secrecy) was drawn aside, and we became 09Draskh1    43:7 | advice of king Smbat, who was desirous of good conduct, and 09Draskh1    43:10 | in a dark dungeon, which was surrounded by numerous guards, whose 09Draskh1    43:13 | ravish everything without discrimination. He was once again crowned by Yusuf 09Draskh1    43:14 | were not fulfilled and I was subjected to more severe incarceration 09Draskh1    43:27 | and in fetters. Thenceforth I was subjected to beating, confinement, the 09Draskh1    43:27 | stench of death. Also I was cast into the depths of 09Draskh1    44:1 | made preparation against Smbat, and was thus preoccupied for several days 09Draskh1    44:3 | Here he was joined by the handsome, wise 09Draskh1    44:4 | thought that like Joseph, who was generously endowed with grace, he 09Draskh1    44:4 | save her from starvation, which was about to come 09Draskh1    44:5 | Joseph, and realized that he was cunningly plotting to torment our 09Draskh1    44:5 | what he had sought, he was terrified of the raging intrigues 09Draskh1    44:6 | disengaging himself (from Yusuf), he was forced contrary to this wishes 09Draskh1    44:8 | Thereupon, I was compelled to ask for amnesty 09Draskh1    44:8 | as someone in time past was accustomed to ask the sandaramet 09Draskh1    44:8 | of funds, and as there was no one who could help 09Draskh1    44:8 | who could help me, I was forced to act accordingly 09Draskh1    44:9 | the heaven sent succour I was able to get myself away 09Draskh1    45:3 | When Smbat was informed by some of the 09Draskh1    45:4 | that the enemy, among whom was king Gagik, had pitched camp 09Draskh1    45:7 | the battle, when the fighting was carried at close quarter, troops 09Draskh1    45:8 | As Ashot was in that wing of the 09Draskh1    45:8 | army, against his wish he was forced to retreat with them 09Draskh1    45:9 | withstand the multitude alone, he was seized and taken to the 09Draskh1    45:10 | The latter was overjoyed at the capture of 09Draskh1    45:12 | house of Togarmah, once again was planted in the midst of 09Draskh1    45:18 | grieve with me but there was none; and I found no 09Draskh1    45:23 | and hammers. The host therein was burned and the altars raised 09Draskh1    45:23 | The patrimony of the Lord was trampled under the heels of 09Draskh1    45:23 | the clerics of the church was shed in vain like water 09Draskh1    45:25 | flock, together with her pastors, was snatched away by the harsh 09Draskh1    45:27 | to feed on. No one was left with the zeal of 09Draskh1    46:1 | land, which slaughtered many and was sent to inflict vengeance on 09Draskh1    46:6 | died in agony. His body was taken and buried in the 09Draskh1    46:7 | of the province of Uti, was subjected to the same torments 09Draskh1    46:7 | whereupon he died. His body was claimed by the sparapet Ashot 09Draskh1    46:8 | in the prime of youth, was executed by the same insidious 09Draskh1    46:8 | service of the Hagarite. He was buried in Daronk’ among his 09Draskh1    46:9 | tears and lamentations. For it was because of our sins, that 09Draskh1    46:11 | willingly surrendered to the ostikan, was confined in prison 09Draskh1    46:13 | him, Vasak, in the confusion, was able to get himself on 09Draskh1    46:14 | Subsequently, (Yusuf’s) wickedness was stripped of its outward pretexts 09Draskh1    47:2 | children and their mother, who was a devout Christian and an 09Draskh1    47:2 | more severe than ever, and was blasting at the sandy foundations 09Draskh1    47:3 | Hagarite with the effeminate tongue was made aware of this, he 09Draskh1    47:5 | the Ishmaelite general ravaged whatever was left, and took a considerable 09Draskh1    47:7 | Here, their mother, who was the sister of king Smbat 09Draskh1    47:8 | our land, and since there was no one who could stand 09Draskh1    47:13 | Everyone suffered, and every heart was afflicted with grief 09Draskh1    48:6 | cunning prince’s entreaties, because it was in a state of confusion 09Draskh1    48:7 | lot of all men, and was succeeded by his brother Alexander 09Draskh1    48:7 | his brother Alexander, whose reign was filled with turmoil created by 09Draskh1    48:10 | king took note that everyone was following his own wicked desires 09Draskh1    48:11 | he remained, as the place was not accessible to man, and 09Draskh1    48:17 | to show him that he was faithful to his oath 09Draskh1    48:18 | Also as he was struck with the desire to 09Draskh1    48:21 | terrible disasters, the prudent Gagik was stricken with a sense of 09Draskh1    48:21 | as those of his princes was disheartened, and suddenly mounting his 09Draskh1    49:1 | his day into night. Light was denied to his eyes because 09Draskh1    49:2 | of such travails, fetters, torments was continued for approximately an entire 09Draskh1    49:3 | Siwnik’, and his wife, who was the sister of Gagik, as 09Draskh1    49:6 | He was enfeebled and debilitated by severe 09Draskh1    49:7 | Thus, in no way was he spared by them even 09Draskh1    49:8 | But when he was taken to his execution, the 09Draskh1    49:13 | with Christ by being baptized, was obliged also to share the 09Draskh1    50:1 | impious ostikan remained where he was, and putting the fortress of 09Draskh1    50:2 | prince Smbat of Siwnik’, who was blessed among women, as well 09Draskh1    50:5 | brother Sahak, while the former was in the region of Vaspurakan 09Draskh1    50:6 | It was then, that the great princess 09Draskh1    50:8 | king Smbat’s son Ashot, who was well renowned and skilled in 09Draskh1    50:11 | upon the Ishmaelite army, which was encamped in the district of 09Draskh1    50:17 | to visit prince Gurgen, who was his very dear friend. They 09Draskh1    51:5 | strongholds. But the remaining multitude was barefoot, naked, vagrant, worn out 09Draskh1    51:9 | spectacle, that one would behold, was wretched, the laments were unsufferable 09Draskh1    51:19 | in holes, so that it was impossible for them either to 09Draskh1    51:23 | proclaimed from the housetops what was to have been spoken in 09Draskh1    51:29 | the land of Gugark’, who was among the blessed. The virginal 09Draskh1    51:40 | Thus, he was beheaded, and crowned by Christ 09Draskh1    51:41 | with the same spirit, and was killed by the same merciless 09Draskh1    51:44 | wisdom they rejected everything that was defiant and wild, and purifying 09Draskh1    51:44 | birth to a soul that was redeemed. Their blessed prayers brought 09Draskh1    51:48 | their destructive and disgraceful aberration was the only thing that they 09Draskh1    52:1 | stable door after the horse was stolen so that the wicked 09Draskh1    52:1 | tried to destroy everything that was to be found at the 09Draskh1    52:9 | witnessed; on the contrary it was the exact opposite. For the 09Draskh1    53:6 | days of yore, the rain was pleasant and beneficial, whereas now 09Draskh1    53:8 | stored anything at all, it was given to others 09Draskh1    53:21 | ate the wheat before it was crushed and kneaded, while others 09Draskh1    53:22 | they found any food, it was through labor, and the wretched 09Draskh1    53:22 | which they acquired through toil was worthy of tears 09Draskh1    53:26 | came down their cheeks. There was no one who would give 09Draskh1    53:31 | Such was the disorder that prevailed over 09Draskh1    53:31 | and the squares. The sight was so horrible and disgraceful that 09Draskh1    53:34 | time of these afflictions I was an expatriate dwelling in Gugark’ 09Draskh1    53:34 | the wise king Atrnerseh, who was staying in that province. Although 09Draskh1    53:34 | yet, as my stay there was prolonged like that of Israel 09Draskh1    53:34 | the tent of Kedar, I was tormented by great grief and 09Draskh1    54:16 | the love of Christ, I was able to persuade the king 09Draskh1    54:18 | by the heathens. I also was a witness to the wailing 09Draskh1    54:18 | the soul within my body was stimulated 09Draskh1    54:24 | domain to the other. He was victorious in many a contest 09Draskh1    54:24 | to him. But while I was still in the district of 09Draskh1    54:38 | bride (of Christ), the church, was never contaminated by the inhabitant 09Draskh1    54:39 | your righteous majesty, and there was no one to seek vengeance 09Draskh1    54:40 | The fire, which was at one time extinguished, once 09Draskh1    54:41 | in the sky. In vain was the blood of the clerics 09Draskh1    54:47 | you? For the wicked enemy was more severe in repaying the 09Draskh1    54:48 | of the flock of Christ was confined in prison by that 09Draskh1    54:48 | glory and praise of God, was subjected to the agony of 09Draskh1    54:55 | Yet, the fact that I was banished, and subjected to severe 09Draskh1    54:55 | my sins, and that I was saved from the tribulations which 09Draskh1    54:56 | the children of Hagar. I was confined in dark dungeons, cast 09Draskh1    54:58 | prophet killer. Like Paul I was suspended from the walls of 09Draskh1    54:59 | order of the Lord, I was pursued from one city to 09Draskh1    54:61 | God in the Highest, which was seized and ravaged by the 09Draskh1    54:63 | our necks the yoke, which was imposed on us by the 09Draskh1    54:72 | you. Yet, until now I was hampered in carrying out my 09Draskh1    55:2 | Ashot, son of Smbat, who was ruling as king with many 09Draskh1    55:3 | his realm, whereas I myself was staying in the district of 09Draskh1    55:4 | course of his journey he was treated with much hospitality and 09Draskh1    55:6 | gems for his waist. He was honored thus not once or 09Draskh1    55:10 | It was for this reason that I 09Draskh1    55:12 | depths of a cavern, which was difficult of access and unfit 09Draskh1    55:14 | This place also was surrounded with walls of solid 09Draskh1    55:14 | walls of solid rock, and was shut in by gates. The 09Draskh1    55:18 | the village of T’ordan, where was the retreat of Saint Grigor 09Draskh1    55:20 | approximately nine months, until I was lured by the flattering words 09Draskh1    55:21 | own (leaders) our wretched land was shaken 09Draskh1    55:23 | the city of Dvin, he was completely occupied with wicked thoughts 09Draskh1    55:25 | dishonorable and despicable person, he was enraged at this, and with 09Draskh1    55:32 | When he was about to invade the region 09Draskh1    55:36 | righteous prince of Andzewac’ik’, Atom, was of great assistance to king 09Draskh1    56:1 | the above matters while he was still in the domain of 09Draskh1    56:5 | It was at this time, that Ashot 09Draskh1    56:8 | this reason, each one individually was incited more strongly in his 09Draskh1    56:10 | brother of prince Grigor who was bereaved of his child, and 09Draskh1    56:10 | his child, and he also was given the same honors in 09Draskh1    57:3 | And as there was a very small amount of 09Draskh1    57:5 | decreased, and that no help was available from anyone in his 09Draskh1    57:14 | It was at that time, that the 09Draskh1    58:1 | son of his paternal uncle, was not abiding by the treaty 09Draskh1    58:2 | of Ashot, while the latter was unsuspectingly taking cover in the 09Draskh1    58:7 | unto me’, for I often was forced to live with those 09Draskh1    58:7 | hated my greetings, because I was a peace-maker, and whenever 09Draskh1    58:8 | the great prince Sahak, who was called Sewaday. On this occasion 09Draskh1    58:9 | for the other king, who was his namesake, was stationed there 09Draskh1    58:9 | king, who was his namesake, was stationed there. Subsequently, they sent 09Draskh1    58:11 | and haughtily, whereat the Lord was perhaps displeased 09Draskh1    58:14 | as his inheritance, died. He was survived by a son, his 09Draskh1    58:14 | cemetery near the church that was built by him in the 09Draskh1    59:1 | the great prince Sahak, who was his father-in-law, and 09Draskh1    59:6 | Sahak, armed his force, that was composed of the choicest warriors 09Draskh1    59:6 | of the valley, where Movses was holding out with all of 09Draskh1    59:9 | While the king was delayed in the province of 09Draskh1    59:10 | When the king was made aware of these foreboding 09Draskh1    59:11 | the prince of Iberia. He was not yet aware of the 09Draskh1    59:11 | honored them greatly, as it was befitting for kings, and bestowed 09Draskh1    59:19 | However, sometime later he was inclined to believe the words 09Draskh1    59:21 | for the following reason: I was afraid) that due to his 09Draskh1    60:2 | and silver, part of which was in lieu of the royal 09Draskh1    60:2 | royal tribute, while the rest was offered as a gift 09Draskh1    60:11 | corpse of the handsome youth was recovered from the battle-front 09Draskh1    60:16 | the matter concerning Gurgen, who was his sister’s son, and considering 09Draskh1    60:17 | the lord of Siwnik’, who was imprisoned there, had been set 09Draskh1    60:18 | seized the other fortress which was near Kayean, and having put 09Draskh1    60:18 | his realm. And as it was near the time of harvest 09Draskh1    60:20 | having found a mound which was surrounded by boulders, the king 09Draskh1    60:24 | the mound where the king was stationed. He ordered the infantry 09Draskh1    60:28 | the other hand, if it was the prince who refused to 09Draskh1    60:29 | of the cross which he was wont to carry before him 09Draskh1    60:30 | The king was the first to distinguish himself 09Draskh1    60:30 | the youngest to the oldest, was at fault except for two 09Draskh1    60:32 | by others, as the case was with Vasak, and to be 09Draskh1    61:1 | a great force. Although Yusuf was able to raise arms and 09Draskh1    61:1 | forces more than once, he was unable to stand against them 09Draskh1    61:1 | to stand against them, and was seized and brought before the 09Draskh1    61:3 | But as soon as Yusuf was seized by the caliph, one 09Draskh1    61:3 | and after a short time was designated by the caliph as 09Draskh1    62:1 | the Canaanite Vasak Gnt’uni, who was set in charge of the 09Draskh1    62:1 | his back on Ashot, who was called shahanshah, and surrendered to 09Draskh1    62:7 | Ashot at that place, Gurgen was driven away from the gates 09Draskh1    62:8 | Vasak to them, and he was invited by them to send 09Draskh1    63:2 | of his paternal uncle, who was also called Ashot, so that 09Draskh1    63:7 | While he was still on his way, he 09Draskh1    63:7 | still on his way, he was confronted by sad tidings brought 09Draskh1    63:7 | of the land) whose name was Amram, but the people had 09Draskh1    63:8 | Gurgen, a foreigner (anbnikn) who was the presiding prince of the 09Draskh1    63:10 | backs on him. Thereafter, there was no one that would help 09Draskh1    63:14 | Amram, however, who was called C’lik (Little Bull), as 09Draskh1    63:15 | of a fortress, where there was no exit other than the 09Draskh1    63:16 | the steeds. The entire army was distressed and annoyed by the 09Draskh1    63:18 | became aware of this, he was struck with great fear, and 09Draskh1    63:21 | he turned his mind, which was formerly sound, to impure thoughts 09Draskh1    63:21 | arrogant will (on people). It was perhaps for this reason that 09Draskh1    64:2 | through his innate genius, he was able to please all of 09Draskh1    64:4 | though against his will, he was able to please the tyrant 09Draskh1    64:5 | word of the sage, “Wisdom was praised in the streets (. . .) and 09Draskh1    64:6 | Hagarite tyrant, called the caliph, was confronted by a great confusion 09Draskh1    64:9 | at the royal court, who was called Mu’nis in their tongue 09Draskh1    64:9 | authority, because, he argued, Yusuf was an ingenious man, a mighty 09Draskh1    64:9 | a mighty warrior, one who was feared by those who had 09Draskh1    64:10 | in rebellion, and that he was the man who could put 09Draskh1    64:20 | However, as he was avaricious and greedy, he demanded 09Draskh1    64:21 | thoughts and realized that there was no reason for him to 09Draskh1    64:22 | that “the outcome of wars was death, and an invitation to 09Draskh1    64:24 | Rotakk’. But as he himself was headed for the great city 09Draskh1    64:24 | the name of Nasr, who was called Subuki by the people 09Draskh1    64:27 | ’s venerable servants, whose name was Subuki—the same man who 09Draskh1    64:27 | city of Ardabil. Wherever there was the opportunity, Yusuf took possession 09Draskh1    65:1 | But Nasr, who was flatteringly nicknamed Subuki, and who 09Draskh1    65:1 | of days, as his wife was there, and he succumbed to 09Draskh1    65:2 | considered himself deprived because it was ruled by his brother Sahak 09Draskh1    65:6 | the komopolis of K’arunj, Nasr was confronted by the foremost gaherec’ 09Draskh1    65:13 | the night disappeared, and it was dawn, suddenly, at the twinkling 09Draskh1    65:14 | phenomenon, (and realizing) that it was not the time for an 09Draskh1    65:15 | I was not at all idle in 09Draskh1    65:16 | the Caves (Ayric’ Vank’), which was the residence of the blessed 09Draskh1    65:19 | Our intention was as follows: to return once 09Draskh1    65:20 | with solid polished stones, which was richly ornamented and adorned with 09Draskh1    65:24 | Thereupon, I was assured by that oath that 09Draskh1    66:0 | Biwrakan and the Carnage that Was Made There 09Draskh1    66:8 | they had accomplished, the result was that the insanity of their 09Draskh1    66:13 | come, and realized that there was no means of escape because 09Draskh1    66:19 | the following morning, when it was still dark, all the people 09Draskh1    66:33 | Although the enemy, whose mind was plunged into the dark and 09Draskh1    66:37 | their part) of the saints was resplendent and exalted in every 09Draskh1    66:42 | But the deacon T’eodoros was not among them at the 09Draskh1    66:43 | to behead him, yet, he was in no way afflicted with 09Draskh1    66:44 | to the true faith, and was reckoned among the children of 09Draskh1    66:48 | that not one of them was lost 09Draskh1    66:50 | of a fruitful life, and was honored with the crown of 09Draskh1    66:51 | But Sahak, who was blind from the time of 09Draskh1    66:51 | renowned for his virtuous deeds, was taken to be immolated like 09Draskh1    66:51 | immolated like a sheep and was illuminated with the unapproachable and 09Draskh1    66:52 | man of God Soghomon, who was from the land of Sagastan 09Draskh1    66:52 | spoke in advance, and who was reckoned among the saints for 09Draskh1    66:53 | order killed on that day was over two hundred. Their names 09Draskh1    66:54 | horror of death, for he was conspicuous among the clerics of 09Draskh1    66:55 | to come to us. It was he who narrated to us 09Draskh1    66:58 | children’s blood, shed in vain, was offerd to Christ as a 09Draskh1    66:59 | men who were porters, one was of military rank, whereas the 09Draskh1    66:59 | military rank, whereas the other was a layman, and both of 09Draskh1    66:60 | God, and the spoils, he was greatly pleased and rejoiced at 09Draskh1    66:66 | and all hope for life was lost to them. The trustworthy 09Draskh1    67:4 | sword, for the entire land was in ruins and had been 09Draskh1    67:5 | But his wicked plot was not successful, because one of 09Draskh1    67:6 | But unexpectedly encountering Bishr, Georg was suddenly seized with fear, for 09Draskh1    67:9 | of those that were decapitated was more than twenty 09Draskh1    67:22 | Smbat the prince of Siwnik’ was staying in Vayoc’ Dzor, which 09Draskh1    67:22 | staying in Vayoc’ Dzor, which was his own district, because of 09Draskh1    67:22 | thing for him to do was either to march secretly against 09Draskh1    67:24 | his younger brother whose name was Babgen, he released and sent 09Draskh1    67:30 | the image of the Lord was distorted within ourselves, for these 09Draskh1    68:3 | did not calm down, I was forced to come here and 09Draskh1    68:4 | I was at first pressed on by 09Draskh1    68:5 | consider reaching a goal that was beyond my ability only by 09Draskh1    68:8 | become children of Seth, who was a good gift, and be 09Draskh1    68:16 | lies, considering in vain what was taken as not taken, and 10Tovma1    1:0 | have written down whatever I was able to discover, beginning from 10Tovma1    1:5 | Babylon, the first city, and was the first to rule on 10Tovma1    1:6 | do they say that it was a long time later that 10Tovma1    1:6 | that Ninos built Nineveh?

And there was a great opposition and war 10Tovma2    4:35 | In those same days there was severe affliction for Armenia from 10Tovma2    4:37 | of Abdlaziz, for [3] years. He was the most noble of them 10Tovma2    4:38 | he abandoned the falsehood that was refuted by the emperor’s letter 10Tovma2    4:39 | Yezit, for [6] years. He was a pestilential man. Moved by 10Tovma2    4:40 | the Lord’s cross wherever it was set up. For the raving 10Tovma2    4:41 | of all evils, he himself was strangled by a demon and 10Tovma2    4:57 | servant of God.” But this was the Abdla whom his own 10Tovma2    4:58 | occurred in our days, which was the date [300] of the Armenian 10Tovma2    5:1 | very dear to him. He was in continuous irresolution and agitation 10Tovma2    5:3 | of the land of Vaspurakan was Ashot of the Artsruni house 10Tovma2    5:4 | He was more glorious and famous than 10Tovma2    5:5 | for the royal taxes; he was called Apusēt in the Tachik 10Tovma2    5:5 | in the Tachik language and was also familiar with Hebrew literature 10Tovma2    5:6 | Bagarat, prince of Tarōn, who was of the Bagratuni family, since 10Tovma2    5:11 | Now while the great vizier was returning to court, he entrusted 10Tovma2    6:1 | At that time there was a great disturbance between Bagarat 10Tovma2    6:2 | near to the city which was the Armenian prince’s winter quarters 10Tovma2    6:11 | lancers were shouting, the cavalry was galloping hither and thither, the 10Tovma2    6:12 | While the battle was being fomented in this manner 10Tovma2    6:15 | go their way—for she was Bagarat’s sister 10Tovma2    6:24 | The prince was much angered at the insult 10Tovma2    6:24 | three divisions: the first division was entrusted to Gurgēn and Vahan 10Tovma2    6:24 | Gurgēn and Vahan Havnuni, who was his companion-in-arms 10Tovma2    6:25 | Apupelch, whose companion-in-arms was Vahan Artsruni; the third division 10Tovma2    6:25 | division to the prince, who was the commander-in-chief for 10Tovma2    6:25 | dawn, and all day victory was on his side. He turned 10Tovma2    6:25 | in the struggle Ali’s brother was killed, and frightful torrents of 10Tovma2    6:26 | the sword. The whole valley was filled with the corpses of 10Tovma2    6:26 | were killed, and Lord Gurgēn was wounded 10Tovma2    6:28 | these events a violent war was fomented by Vasak Artsruni through 10Tovma2    6:28 | of his dwelling, and he was fearfully anxious that the Muslims 10Tovma2    6:32 | So was fulfilled the saying of the 10Tovma2    6:34 | choler, his mind stupified, he was plunged into great anxiety as 10Tovma2    6:35 | that time the patriarchal throne was occupied by Lord Yovhannēs, Catholicos 10Tovma2    6:37 | prophet Ezekiel says: “Your father was a Canaanite and your mother 10Tovma2    6:39 | mercy. Such and even more was the advice and teaching of 10Tovma2    6:40 | saying of the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled 10Tovma2    6:42 | of the next year—which was the sixth jubilee and seventy 10Tovma2    6:47 | royal taxes. But the prince was warned by the same group 10Tovma2    6:51 | Bagarat, prince of Tarōn, who was a woman wise in words 10Tovma2    6:53 | freezing north wind, which he was afraid he could not endure 10Tovma2    6:56 | the country. The whole country was devastated except for the mountain 10Tovma2    7:1 | where the city of Tarōn was built. There the general of 10Tovma2    7:1 | the general of the Muslims was encamped, like a hibernating bear 10Tovma2    7:6 | He breathed his last and was buried like a donkey 10Tovma2    7:7 | it. Then the sad news was immediately brought in haste to 10Tovma3    1:5 | In such manner was the unity of this country 10Tovma3    1:17 | upon us. This vengeful chastisement was inflicted because of the impieties 10Tovma3    1:22 | He was furthermore informed about each battalion 10Tovma3    1:23 | how many divisions the army was divided, how many trumpets would 10Tovma3    1:26 | He was the commanding chief of all 10Tovma3    1:26 | the Muslims, and no one was able to contravene his wishes 10Tovma3    1:27 | This man, whose devilish intelligence was wicked and full of wiles 10Tovma3    2:5 | because the pass of Hołts’ was open, Zhirak quickly reached the 10Tovma3    2:9 | one (...) by the sword and was killed (...) “brother aided by brother 10Tovma3    2:11 | of Nakhchavan and of Mardpetakan, was captured. He was white-haired 10Tovma3    2:11 | of Mardpetakan, was captured. He was white-haired and his outer 10Tovma3    2:11 | haired and his outer body was aged; but his inner being 10Tovma3    2:11 | aged; but his inner being was rejuvenated and beautiful in the 10Tovma3    2:13 | He was brought before the general Zhirak’ 10Tovma3    2:13 | before the general Zhirak’, who was pleased to see his tall 10Tovma3    2:14 | holy one’s soul, though he was armed with the protection of 10Tovma3    2:20 | But because none of us was then present at the blessed 10Tovma3    2:23 | his head. In this fashion was martyred the blessed Apusahak 10Tovma3    2:24 | He was the first fruit of the 10Tovma3    2:25 | This was told to us by the 10Tovma3    2:32 | the fortress where their lord was ( besieged 10Tovma3    2:54 | from court before. For he was unable to resist them, not 10Tovma3    2:57 | Then the mask of deceit was stripped from their obscene faces 10Tovma3    2:73 | the greatest gifts and honours, was unable to endure what had 10Tovma3    2:74 | the other nobles. But he was quite unable to help them 10Tovma3    2:81 | saying of the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled in Smbat: “He shall 10Tovma3    3:1 | and his son Gagik who was also called Apumruan 10Tovma3    4:9 | at the time when it was taken, they had urged the 10Tovma3    4:10 | be slaughtered as the executioner was holding the sword above him 10Tovma3    4:18 | So, the holy martyr was killed gloriously for the Father 10Tovma3    4:20 | This was written as a memorial for 10Tovma3    4:21 | there near the place which was the site of the battlefield 10Tovma3    4:27 | lord of El; with them was the army of Hamdoy, emir 10Tovma3    4:29 | them a certain Abdlay who was known to the general, to 10Tovma3    4:31 | reached the (enemy) generals but was still at a distance of 10Tovma3    4:32 | When it was about the third hour of 10Tovma3    4:33 | in the sun; the mountain was filled with a multitude of 10Tovma3    4:36 | There was an awesome thundering, shocks, and 10Tovma3    4:36 | burning with fire. Or it was as if some thunderbolt, loosed 10Tovma3    4:36 | thunderbolt, loosed from the clouds, was casting down flames as at 10Tovma3    4:36 | of hail and rain. Such was the impression from the neighing 10Tovma3    4:37 | of the (enemy) army. He was still on horseback when they 10Tovma3    4:38 | destructive course on which he was bent that would cast him 10Tovma3    4:39 | him, and realised that it was a messenger of grievous news 10Tovma3    4:44 | Armenian commander realised that he was unable by any means to 10Tovma3    4:59 | it seemed as if fire was shooting out like lightning from 10Tovma3    4:60 | the number of the killed was eighteen hundred, not including the 10Tovma3    4:61 | in the battle, for it was a spiritual battle and not 10Tovma3    4:63 | thousand men. When the army was defeated, they spurred their horses 10Tovma3    4:64 | Armenian army. For when battle was joined and the lines faced 10Tovma3    4:65 | He was mounted on a white horse 10Tovma3    4:65 | smoke towards the enemy. There was a sweet smell as he 10Tovma3    5:4 | A command was sent throughout the whole country 10Tovma3    5:4 | whole country that each man was to return to his own 10Tovma3    5:4 | independent, and that no one was to be expelled from his 10Tovma3    5:7 | place where the Armenian army was encamped, they had the letter 10Tovma3    5:8 | ambitious glory—of which he was frustrated 10Tovma3    5:11 | been written by Bugha and was full of gall. It was 10Tovma3    5:11 | was full of gall. It was sealed with the caliph’s ring 10Tovma3    5:22 | So there was great suffering throughout the entire 10Tovma3    5:23 | had befallen, saying: “The land was first like a delightful garden 10Tovma3    6:4 | So I shall abbreviate what was done openly, so that you 10Tovma3    6:11 | sat with eyebrows frowning; he was puffed up and full of 10Tovma3    6:28 | Then the king was filled with anger; the colour 10Tovma3    6:31 | faith of the holy apostles was implanted in their hearts, yet 10Tovma3    6:31 | it had no roots it was immediately dried up by the 10Tovma3    6:34 | had been prince of Tarōn, was taken to Samarra, and became 10Tovma3    6:40 | Without an opponent he was defeated; without arms he was 10Tovma3    6:40 | was defeated; without arms he was wounded; without a storm he 10Tovma3    6:40 | wounded; without a storm he was shipwrecked; in his self-willed 10Tovma3    6:40 | to irredeemable perdition. His life was without faith and his death 10Tovma3    6:43 | It was appropriate for Bishop Yovhannēs to 10Tovma3    6:44 | It was proper for Lord Grigor Artsruni 10Tovma3    6:44 | gloomy pit in bonds. It was very befitting for the blessed 10Tovma3    6:46 | faith. However, since his expectation was not realised but rebounded upon 10Tovma3    6:47 | battle with the evil one was not something transient, they too 10Tovma3    6:55 | of Armenia, note: “My habitation was among snakes, and they twined 10Tovma3    7:0 | heresy of Bagarat Bagratuni, which was added to his apostasy from 10Tovma3    7:2 | the heresy of the Elkesites was long ago quenched and suppressed 10Tovma3    7:3 | the worship of idols it was of no account, provided that 10Tovma3    7:19 | duplicity of his heart how was he punished? What (did) Anania 10Tovma3    7:25 | testimonies before kings, and I was not ashamed.” And the Saviour 10Tovma3    8:6 | like a dragon those he was able to strike 10Tovma3    8:7 | smaller fish. For no one was able to resist him 10Tovma3    8:23 | the sword and the executioner was beating him like a senseless 10Tovma3    8:23 | not the slightest sword cut was he able to make on 10Tovma3    8:23 | ask and see why he was not wielding the sword. Taking 10Tovma3    8:25 | not at all contaminated, nor was there any foul smell on 10Tovma3    9:0 | year of Bugha’s arrival, which was the olympiad (. . .); concerning the war 10Tovma3    9:0 | against Sahak the Ismaelite who was known as the son of 10Tovma3    9:2 | But the general (Bugha) was forming his own destructive and 10Tovma3    9:5 | of Armenia, realised that it was no use disregarding his (Bugha’s 10Tovma3    9:7 | the city called Tiflis—which was previously named P’aytakaran. Their city 10Tovma3    9:9 | besiege the city. No one was killed (in the crossing) except 10Tovma3    9:10 | of) silver, for the man was so respected by him 10Tovma3    9:12 | means of escape, though he was able to go wherever he 10Tovma3    9:12 | brought him before Bugha, who was more astonished at his reckless 10Tovma3    9:13 | had been captured, since she was a beautiful woman she hastened 10Tovma3    9:14 | around the camp unveiled, which was not customary for the women 10Tovma3    9:14 | the Muslim people. But it was to no avail. Bugha had 10Tovma3    9:16 | and of what occurred. This was the cause of Bugha’s destruction 10Tovma3    10:1 | Since no one anywhere was able to resist him in 10Tovma3    10:1 | of the acts that it was his inclination to perform, he 10Tovma3    10:8 | twelfth hour. The royal army was defeated and returned to their 10Tovma3    10:9 | battle, and the royal army was defeated. After a few days 10Tovma3    10:9 | had passed, once more battle was joined, and the royal army 10Tovma3    10:9 | joined, and the royal army was defeated even more decisively. So 10Tovma3    10:11 | Ałuank’ a certain Apumusē, who was noted as a reader and 10Tovma3    10:11 | noted as a reader and was known as “son of a 10Tovma3    10:12 | Bugha had brought troops and was already coming to attack him 10Tovma3    10:16 | to his words because he was well aware of his deceitful 10Tovma3    10:18 | the prince of the Ałuank’ was making, he became hesitant. For 10Tovma3    10:21 | all the foreigners and God was pleased with them, so too 10Tovma3    10:27 | vigour and terrible indignity, he was thrown into great perturbation and 10Tovma3    10:33 | After this, which was the second defeat for the 10Tovma3    10:34 | For the general Bugha this was a terrible disaster. Plunged into 10Tovma3    10:34 | disaster. Plunged into anxiety, he was greatly disturbed in his mind 10Tovma3    10:36 | and shake, so no one was able to oppose you? Why 10Tovma3    10:37 | those who ruled the world was never put to the sword 10Tovma3    10:41 | swords and-made preparations, there was such a great noise of 10Tovma3    10:42 | and everyone who saw them was stricken with great fear 10Tovma3    10:43 | Musheł, son of the general, was stationed in the open on 10Tovma3    10:44 | the visible. And since he was versed in the divinely inspired 10Tovma3    10:44 | the divinely inspired Scriptures and was familiar with and knowledgeable of 10Tovma3    10:45 | battle and confronted them. He was like a great iron hill 10Tovma3    10:48 | the number of their battles was twenty-eight, and the royal 10Tovma3    10:48 | eight, and the royal army was defeated in that many encounters 10Tovma3    10:49 | both sides realised that there was no solution or way to 10Tovma3    10:53 | Now that great victory was granted through the general Apumusē 10Tovma3    10:54 | go to Bugha. In it was written a pardon for the 10Tovma3    10:54 | helmet and sword. Only he was to heed the caliph’s summons 10Tovma3    10:55 | front and behind while he was still outside their camp 10Tovma3    11:0 | from the province of Vanand was martyred 10Tovma3    11:1 | eminence of rank, whether this was due to birth or place 10Tovma3    11:4 | a great and fearsome tumult was stirred up against him, and 10Tovma3    11:10 | While he was still alive, (Bugha) had a 10Tovma3    11:10 | very tall gibbet erected; he was put on the top of 10Tovma3    11:10 | the camp of the Muslims was situated 10Tovma3    11:11 | victorious champion of Christ Mukat’l was martyred gloriously for the Father 10Tovma3    11:22 | from the mountain of Khoyt’ was a man called Yovnan. He 10Tovma3    11:22 | man called Yovnan. He it was who during Bugha’s attack, from 10Tovma3    11:34 | dawn one morning, while each was sleeping in his own tent 10Tovma3    12:3 | land fell into confusion and was filled with turmoil. Wherever they 10Tovma3    12:4 | and each man did as was pleasing to his eyes, so 10Tovma3    13:7 | into few words, as Paul was pleased to write in the 10Tovma3    13:9 | and when the patriarch Yovhannēs was Catholicos of Armenia, acted wisely 10Tovma3    13:9 | and stayed there, for K’urdik was Gurgēn’s uncle 10Tovma3    13:10 | the castle called Aramaneak; (Gurgēn) was received by him with splendid 10Tovma3    13:19 | emir of Nakhchavan whose name was Abraham, informing him about the 10Tovma3    13:21 | While he was riding along deep in thought 10Tovma3    13:35 | Gurgēn was encamped there with four hundred 10Tovma3    13:36 | brave horse on which he was mounted and attacked the left 10Tovma3    13:38 | the Armenian army. But it was the Muslim troops who were 10Tovma3    13:38 | Gurgēn, and their power that was broken 10Tovma3    13:41 | victory. And the Lord omnipotent was with him wherever he wished 10Tovma3    13:52 | Gurgēn was residing in the secure fortress 10Tovma3    13:52 | prince of the Amatuni family was among the wounded who fell 10Tovma3    13:57 | death by the sword. He was blessed and eulogised by those 10Tovma3    14:1 | of the captivity of Armenia was completed, which was the [306th] year 10Tovma3    14:1 | of Armenia was completed, which was the [306th] year of the Armenian 10Tovma3    14:1 | Zak’aria, Catholicos of Armenia. It was the beginning of the seventh 10Tovma3    14:9 | of his father’s dominions he was about ten years old 10Tovma3    14:11 | from outside, nonetheless, the land was not secure 10Tovma3    14:13 | the latter had seized and was occupying the castles of Sring 10Tovma3    14:13 | the whole principality of Vaspurakan was to be entrusted to Ashot 10Tovma3    14:14 | To this he was not unresponsive, and with wise 10Tovma3    14:14 | on the Muslim army, and was suspicious of what he had 10Tovma3    14:16 | of God; for his heart was consecrated to the Lord God 10Tovma3    14:17 | king of the Greeks, who was prompt to arrange that he 10Tovma3    14:18 | While this plan was under consideration, two emirs, one 10Tovma3    14:19 | Although the latter was irritated at what had occurred 10Tovma3    14:22 | But not in the least was he perverted by the tyrant’s 10Tovma3    14:26 | So he was even more confirmed and strengthened 10Tovma3    14:31 | In those times, while Jap’rmot’ok’l was greatly puffed up and waxing 10Tovma3    14:34 | of many troubled days, Gurgēn was released by Christ’s providence, saved 10Tovma3    14:35 | moved to attack him, but was turned back and fled 10Tovma3    14:36 | him from pain. For Gurgēn was still recovering from illness and 10Tovma3    14:37 | A servant of Derenik’s who was the jailer loosed him from 10Tovma3    14:37 | into the room where Derenik was sleeping. The servant had the 10Tovma3    14:37 | land to Gurgēn, for this was a convenient opportunity 10Tovma3    14:39 | have mercy on me,” and was unable to utter anything else 10Tovma3    14:40 | came to a monk who was priest in the monastery. As 10Tovma3    14:40 | that (Gurgēn) had died; he was a mad monk full of 10Tovma3    14:41 | him a ready hand and was blessed by Saint Zak’aria 10Tovma3    14:45 | been entrusted to Ashot, who was the prince of princes, he 10Tovma3    14:48 | up in battle array.” He was planning to attack Ashot unexpectedly 10Tovma3    14:51 | Without delay the plan was carried out. He took with 10Tovma3    15:9 | Musheł, lord of Andzavats’ik’, was ill and at death’s door 10Tovma3    15:9 | He had a son who was an infant, so Derenik planned 10Tovma3    15:17 | This was the sixth year of the 10Tovma3    15:20 | acted in a supercilious manner, was swollen and bloated full of 10Tovma3    15:24 | the same time a command was secretly give to some people 10Tovma3    16:2 | Asorestan and Arabia; among them was included our valiant Ashot with 10Tovma3    16:2 | army. Musē, son of Bugha, was appointed general 10Tovma3    16:7 | the champions surged around. There was a fearsome thunder and frightful 10Tovma3    16:8 | until his repute for valour was thought by some to be 10Tovma3    17:8 | of the castle. When he was informed of what had occurred 10Tovma3    17:9 | from the conflict; friendly love was established between the two parties 10Tovma3    18:1 | son of Sanatruk, that province was reckoned among the provinces of 10Tovma3    18:3 | But because the castle was unassailable unless supplies ran out 10Tovma3    18:3 | abbot of the monastery who was called Grigor, and put him 10Tovma3    18:6 | by the troops of Semiramis, was cured 10Tovma3    18:8 | spurred on his horse, which was covered in armour, and prepared 10Tovma3    18:10 | a confidant of Yisē’s. He was advancing to meet the prince 10Tovma3    18:10 | to meet the prince, and was in agreement with Vahan to 10Tovma3    18:10 | up. To these (proposals) Ashot was not heedless; he retreated and 10Tovma3    18:13 | Now Ashot was aged nineteen years (when he 10Tovma3    18:13 | the captivity of the Armenians, was five years in captivity, and 10Tovma3    18:18 | from his world arrived, he was plunged into unfathomable remorse and 10Tovma3    19:2 | In his days there was a respite from brigands and 10Tovma3    19:2 | splendidly and properly performed; there was no fear or suspicion anywhere 10Tovma3    19:4 | patriarchate for eighteen years. He was succeeded by Lord Gēorg 10Tovma3    19:7 | Halit’ (as governor). For Yamanik was sending letters and messengers one 10Tovma3    19:14 | He was informed by various persons about 10Tovma3    20:0 | his making David prince, who was called king 10Tovma3    20:2 | claimed that) Ashot the curopalates was in revolt, full of envy 10Tovma3    20:2 | revolt, full of envy, and was slandering (him) to the governor 10Tovma3    20:2 | the governor, and that he was attempting to eject him from 10Tovma3    20:3 | the certainty of his crimes was revealed and confirmed as regards 10Tovma3    20:4 | As the sun was getting warm, while they were 10Tovma3    20:5 | as he knew what he was plotting with regard to the 10Tovma3    20:7 | Now there was a further reason for holding 10Tovma3    20:7 | he held him; for he was pleased to make (David) prince 10Tovma3    20:9 | own authority. So he (David) was prince over Tarōn for seven 10Tovma3    20:11 | and high-ranking man; he was accompanied by Grigor, son of 10Tovma3    20:11 | son of Vasak. He likewise was a lively man embued with 10Tovma3    20:15 | The prince of princes—who was the highest ranking and most 10Tovma3    20:17 | one day while the governor was preening and wallowing in such 10Tovma3    20:17 | equipment of his troops, as was usual for brave heroes, and 10Tovma3    20:18 | enter his presence and he was expecting the great prince to 10Tovma3    20:22 | Ahmat’ was escorted on his passage through 10Tovma3    20:24 | prison. But even thus he was unable to obtain for him 10Tovma3    20:27 | between Derenik and Hasan, who was the son of Derenik’s sister 10Tovma3    20:27 | to the effect that Derenik was not treating him honestly but 10Tovma3    20:27 | not treating him honestly but was ( aiming at) taking the fortress 10Tovma3    20:28 | Now the fortress was quite impregnable, and no little 10Tovma3    20:28 | years, while he (Hasan) himself was very young in years, being 10Tovma3    20:29 | But he was unable to act openly, for 10Tovma3    20:29 | and feigned an illness that was nearly mortal 10Tovma3    20:31 | to a severe illness and was near death, as the messengers 10Tovma3    20:32 | room for sleep, suddenly there was a glinting of swords and 10Tovma3    20:34 | He was then besieging the city of 10Tovma3    20:34 | the land of Apahunik’, which was in the hands of Aplbar 10Tovma3    20:34 | of Aplbar, and the blockade was nearly complete; but when the 10Tovma3    20:35 | near the fortress where Derenik was imprisoned 10Tovma3    20:37 | against Gagik Apumruan, that he was plotting with the curopalates (to 10Tovma3    20:37 | fruitlessly done. But whether this was false or true is not 10Tovma3    20:38 | However, Derenik himself was false to the oath of 10Tovma3    20:39 | against Armenia, he thought he was seeing his last hour upon 10Tovma3    20:39 | likewise those others whom he was able to seduce. Yamanik himself 10Tovma3    20:39 | to the effect that) he was maliciously plotting against Ashot 10Tovma3    20:42 | While Gagik was sleeping without worry or suspicion 10Tovma3    20:57 | in a disordered attack.

The 10Tovma3    20:60 | When the prince died he was forty years old 10Tovma3    20:61 | the fear of the Lord was on them all. Each man 10Tovma3    20:65 | As David says: “I was prepared and I did not 10Tovma3    20:68 | sons were very young. Ashot was nine years old when Derenik 10Tovma3    20:68 | old when Derenik died; Gagik was seven, Gurgēn five 10Tovma3    20:69 | the mass of the nobility was not happy with him and 10Tovma3    20:69 | not happy with him and was restive. But since Gagik was 10Tovma3    20:69 | was restive. But since Gagik was greatly endowed with wisdom, he 10Tovma3    20:70 | eight months after Derenik’s death, was gathered to her fathers. They 10Tovma3    20:71 | Ahavank’, opposite the church that was on the island, and the 10Tovma3    21:1 | and happy (life). “His hand was on all, and the hand 10Tovma3    22:1 | of the earth collapsed and was firmly locked in the region 10Tovma3    22:1 | and all kinds of impurity, was overthrown from its foundations 10Tovma3    22:3 | the temple of the Lord was shaken and its doorposts destroyed 10Tovma3    22:4 | of Zechariah the prophet there was an earthquake as far as 10Tovma3    22:4 | people killed by the quake was more than seventy thousand. This 10Tovma3    22:4 | than seventy thousand. This earthquake was more severe than the one 10Tovma3    22:4 | the prelate of Ṙshtunik’. He was unable to escape with his 10Tovma3    22:6 | prince, son of the curopalates, was deceitfully killed by Ahmat’s commanders 10Tovma3    22:6 | killed by Ahmat’s commanders; he was a brave and famous man 10Tovma3    22:15 | right the land of Vaspurakan was your inheritance, but Ashot’s ancestors 10Tovma3    22:18 | While peace was thus shattered in the land 10Tovma3    22:19 | Now Gurgēn was planning to seize for himself 10Tovma3    22:19 | the capital of Ṙshtunik’ which was the site of his father’s 10Tovma3    22:24 | or rampart of bronze, he was unable to carry out his 10Tovma3    22:24 | castles of the country. Ashot was taken to the impregnable Nkan 10Tovma3    22:29 | of them) by reports, and was very well disposed to receive 10Tovma3    22:29 | of Tarōn for himself, he was aiming at becoming the effective 10Tovma3    22:30 | which Smbat the Armenian king was continuously sending to him 10Tovma3    23:5 | the number of his forces was about [120,000]. He marched along the 10Tovma3    23:8 | his corps of warriors, he was unable to calm the raging 10Tovma3    23:10 | that the number of killed was more than [5,000], and for one 10Tovma3    24:6 | save to say: “That deed was done worthily 10Tovma3    25:1 | since Awshin, son of Apusech, was a man who loved turmoil 10Tovma3    25:1 | turmoil and hated peace, and was insatiable in his thirst for 10Tovma3    25:1 | the impression that his affection was complete. One after the other 10Tovma3    25:3 | Gurgēn learned what Awshin was plotting against him from some 10Tovma3    25:7 | long journey and their energy was enfeebled by the drifts of 10Tovma3    26:3 | And what was the reason for this if 10Tovma3    26:4 | from heaven and the wrath was sent by God, no one 10Tovma3    26:4 | sent by God, no one was able to oppose him in 10Tovma3    26:5 | For while the land was in such distress, they expected 10Tovma3    26:5 | erring faith of Mahumat’. He was a ferocious man, savage, unsparing 10Tovma3    26:7 | Awshin learned of this, he was deeply stricken and made haste 10Tovma3    26:7 | to write to Sap’i, who was residing at Vantosp and exercising 10Tovma3    26:8 | pus and horrible swelling, and was filled with bloody corruption. First 10Tovma3    26:11 | considered him (wondering) who he was, what sort of man, and 10Tovma3    26:13 | He was succeeded on the throne of 10Tovma3    26:13 | same name. For the Baptist was commanded to drink neither wine 10Tovma3    26:14 | But in scholarly learning he was deeply versed, dead to the 10Tovma3    26:16 | instruction and scholarly discipline, he was a man of sweet temperament 10Tovma3    26:16 | one with the common people, was foreign to haughty arrogance, and 10Tovma3    27:0 | Concerning the miracle which was revealed in Ostan of Ṙshtunik’ 10Tovma3    27:1 | appeared during the time Gagik was general. But not a few 10Tovma3    28:2 | tribute and military service as was due 10Tovma3    28:6 | should be done. So it was openly, but the secret later 10Tovma3    28:10 | to the king. The latter was not unheedful and accepted the 10Tovma3    29:5 | the city of Van he was gripped by the pains of 10Tovma3    29:7 | by all, especially because he was dear and beloved to everyone 10Tovma3    29:8 | of the Armenian era, and was twenty-nine when he departed 10Tovma3    29:14 | for the future (life) he was meek to the clergy of 10Tovma3    29:17 | at their sight his mind was dazed. As they surrounded him 10Tovma3    29:19 | I indeed was beside him and knew precisely 10Tovma3    29:26 | the church of Saint Gregory was burned and the Armenian troops 10Tovma3    29:27 | era when Saint Vahan, who was the son of Khosrov lord 10Tovma3    29:27 | of Khosrov lord of Gołt’n, was martyred 10Tovma3    29:34 | palace, his own construction that was built like a city, improving 10Tovma3    29:37 | festivities. In this manner he was unstintingly mindful of all necessities 10Tovma3    29:38 | For not only was he concerned with its prosperity 10Tovma3    29:38 | with its prosperity but he was also ready to shed his 10Tovma3    29:39 | wood of Christ’s cross that was crowned by Christ, a pedestal 10Tovma3    29:43 | At the time that Gagik was supreme general he had begun 10Tovma3    29:44 | the above-mentioned priest, who was a gentle man, humble and 10Tovma3    29:46 | tabernacle, and that the flesh was not in unity by nature 10Tovma3    29:63 | and belongings. So the land was in great anguish, filled with 10Tovma3    29:65 | He was lying in wait like a 10Tovma3    29:65 | house of the Amatunik’, who was residing at the tomb of 10Tovma3    29:71 | back the booty. But he was wounded by a sword, and 10Tovma3    29:75 | attacked the camp, whose entrance was unguarded. straightaway two men fell 10Tovma3    29:75 | and Marachay. The marzpans horse was too weak to gallop, but 10Tovma3    29:79 | Zhangan. These said that it was not right to do this 10Tovma3    29:81 | So peace was arranged after these great tribulations 10Tovma4    1:1 | He was given by the Lord another 10Tovma4    1:5 | long before that no one was able to recall mention of 10Tovma4    1:12 | like the blinded Israel; he was ungrateful to his benefactor, and 10Tovma4    1:16 | turned to a man who was very dear to the prince 10Tovma4    1:19 | Then the illustrious prince, as was his former habit, set off 10Tovma4    1:20 | did not accept because he was hurrying to his own province 10Tovma4    1:21 | the former, alleging that this was a violation of his pact 10Tovma4    1:23 | a noisy rushing stream that was very deep. Neither the Muslim 10Tovma4    1:25 | that foul Muslim, since he was unwilling to confront the mighty 10Tovma4    1:27 | so that the valiant (prince) was unable to gallop away. Then 10Tovma4    1:28 | yet reached maturity, therefore there was no one to avenge his 10Tovma4    1:40 | torn apart and killed? Who was able to bring low the 10Tovma4    1:46 | do not know if this was for the occasion, or whether 10Tovma4    2:1 | prince, his eldest son Ashot was confirmed on his father’s throne 10Tovma4    2:2 | Since Apumruan was the son of Lady Soph’s 10Tovma4    2:3 | to her husband), her heart was unable to endure the pain 10Tovma4    2:13 | So he released Gurgēn, but was perplexed with regard to him 10Tovma4    2:13 | to do. For his heart was torn for thinking about the 10Tovma4    2:13 | about the youth, and he was waiting (for an occasion) to 10Tovma4    3:3 | from a youthful age he was a budding source of virtue 10Tovma4    3:5 | His valour was already exhibited before he was 10Tovma4    3:5 | was already exhibited before he was yet fifteen years of age 10Tovma4    3:6 | When the moment was favourable, he took his conspirators 10Tovma4    3:6 | fortress of Ashinot where Gurgēn was, and likewise to the castle 10Tovma4    3:6 | valley of Andzakh were Ashot was. Both of them had despaired 10Tovma4    3:8 | It was God, as I suppose, who 10Tovma4    3:8 | blood from Apumruan, since he was one of the accomplices of 10Tovma4    3:10 | Because for a nation that was in darkness he placed a 10Tovma4    3:10 | point of a castle that was fortified around with the power 10Tovma4    3:10 | the power of God. It was preserved unextinguished from the hostile 10Tovma4    3:10 | from four directions. Not only was he himself (not) obscured, but 10Tovma4    3:11 | He was a tall tower built with 10Tovma4    3:12 | He was a rational sword, blazing with 10Tovma4    3:15 | Now the prince Ashot was supported by the grace and 10Tovma4    3:17 | Ashot his nephew because he was fearful that perhaps Ashot might 10Tovma4    3:18 | For Ap’shin was sending to Ashot many promises 10Tovma4    3:30 | murderers, begetter of all impiety, was overcome by the raging wickedness 10Tovma4    3:31 | eunuchs, the first of whom was called Sap’i, as governors with 10Tovma4    3:33 | the village of Kakenk’, which was difficult (of access), the eunuch 10Tovma4    3:38 | this the land of Armenia was at peace from raiders of 10Tovma4    3:40 | over to Hasan while Ashot was still in prison 10Tovma4    3:41 | Since it was wintertime, when there was no 10Tovma4    3:41 | it was wintertime, when there was no possibility of waging battle 10Tovma4    3:41 | army of the prince, which was in the village of Płuank’ 10Tovma4    3:43 | covering him over; so he was delivered into the hands of 10Tovma4    3:44 | Then he was captured, and dragged in double 10Tovma4    3:45 | punishment of blinding; but he was not successful. Hasan was deprived 10Tovma4    3:45 | he was not successful. Hasan was deprived of the light of 10Tovma4    3:48 | in great haste. When battle was joined, Smbat with his army 10Tovma4    4:3 | the land of Vaspurakan, which was disturbed and troubled by many 10Tovma4    4:4 | One of these was Shapuh, son of Maymanik, who 10Tovma4    4:4 | the province of Chakhuk, and was occupying the castle for himself 10Tovma4    4:5 | rebelled in similar fashion and was holed up in his lair 10Tovma4    4:8 | prince of Vaspurakan, that Apuhamza was audaciously going around with his 10Tovma4    4:9 | hero, as mild as he was powerful, heeded their entreaties, especially 10Tovma4    4:9 | on them: first because he was merciful and very benevolent towards 10Tovma4    4:11 | very affectionate and joyous heart, was as kind to him in 10Tovma4    4:12 | from the land. For he was a harsh man, brave and 10Tovma4    4:15 | increase, and the Lord Almighty was with him 10Tovma4    4:16 | Mokk’ saw that Gagik’s hand was raised against everyone, they took 10Tovma4    4:18 | forests; secondly, the whole land was completely frozen over with a 10Tovma4    4:21 | up to that time it was swarming with men of the 10Tovma4    4:22 | made many efforts; but he was sadly killed without attaining his 10Tovma4    4:32 | He was full of good works in 10Tovma4    4:32 | poor with liberal heart; he was magnanimous and zealous in the 10Tovma4    4:38 | the fortress of Amiuk; he was called Apusakr and was from 10Tovma4    4:38 | he was called Apusakr and was from the house of the 10Tovma4    4:41 | over Persia and Armenia; he was named Yusup’, son of Apusach 10Tovma4    4:42 | He was moved to great wrath against 10Tovma4    4:42 | them, but no peaceful solution was agreeable to them 10Tovma4    4:46 | of his lovely face, he was amazed. On questioning him in 10Tovma4    4:47 | Since the Persian ruler Yusup’ was a man of powerful mind 10Tovma4    4:48 | for a solution; and he was assisted by him in gaining 10Tovma4    4:55 | Therefore Yusup’ was greatly angered, and attacked Armenia 10Tovma4    4:57 | Seeing that there was no one who could rule 10Tovma4    4:60 | troops in full armour. There was the rolling of drums, the 10Tovma4    4:61 | to say that his anointing was invisibly performed by the Holy 10Tovma4    4:63 | of Mokt’gir, knew that Gagik was reigning over Armenia, he sent 10Tovma4    4:64 | able to reveal that anyone was honoured by the (caliph’s) court 10Tovma4    4:64 | second time that the tyrant was forced to do this by 10Tovma4    4:68 | to the royal court. He was imprisoned for eight years, and 10Tovma4    4:70 | The day of his death was occasion for great mourning for 10Tovma4    4:72 | Lord—this offering (of his) was equivalent to that of the 10Tovma4    4:72 | our sake, a pleasing gift was offered to the Father in 10Tovma4    5:2 | time Yusup’, son of Apusach, was still ruling tyranically over the 10Tovma4    5:3 | While he was planning to enjoy a peaceful 10Tovma4    5:4 | captured. A little later he was killed, but I do not 10Tovma4    6:3 | likewise.” In truth the land was shaken as these slaves thought 10Tovma4    7:5 | fortified in his name, (Gagik) was especially pleased with two places 10Tovma4    7:5 | watched over them personally. One was at the edge of the 10Tovma4    7:5 | of the lake; its name was Ostan in the province of 10Tovma4    7:5 | province of Rshtunik’. The climate was very temperate, as the winds 10Tovma4    7:6 | with fruit-bearing trees, and was graced with many vineyards. Sweet 10Tovma4    7:6 | southern side of the fortress was the very high mountain Artōs 10Tovma4    7:9 | a pavilion for gatherings which was decorated with gold and various 10Tovma4    8:3 | spot and recognising that it was a refuge from enemy raids 10Tovma4    8:5 | The wall was amazingly constructed, fearsome and adorned 10Tovma4    8:10 | to his orders the work was quickly completed. Then the king 10Tovma4    8:11 | The thickness of the wall was three large strides deep, a 10Tovma4    8:11 | support of any pillar. It was truly worthy of admiration surpassing 10Tovma4    9:3 | While the king was making these (expeditions), he increased 10Tovma4    9:4 | a village called Kotom, which was the hereditary possession of the 10Tovma4    9:5 | Thus was accomplished the saying of the 10Tovma4    9:6 | Because the architect was Manuēl, whom we mentioned above 10Tovma4    9:14 | Truly this was once a thirsty desert, but 10Tovma4    10:4 | Since Abas was unable to oppose the tyrant 10Tovma4    10:6 | he knew that he (Abas) was not versed in warfare, fell 10Tovma4    10:10 | Gēn—and truly the hill was prophetically named, for as if 10Tovma4    10:10 | its appointed place; though it was from on High that he 10Tovma4    10:11 | other people. While the sun was casting its glow over the 10Tovma4    10:11 | hour, and he (the king) was still reading the holy gospel 10Tovma4    10:14 | Nersēs until the second Amałek was defeated 10Tovma4    12:2 | rational race of mankind.

He was also a sweet-smelling garden 10Tovma4    12:17 | For his own house he was a verdant plant with golden 10Tovma4    12:18 | To his sons he was a school of virtue and 10Tovma4    12:19 | To all artisans his door was open, and he was an 10Tovma4    12:19 | door was open, and he was an unerring model 10Tovma4    12:20 | and their fearsome winds he was a high mountain and unshakeable 10Tovma4    12:21 | He was a consuming fire for the 10Tovma4    12:22 | Greek, and barbarian tyrants he was a burning, perpetually turning nail 10Tovma4    12:26 | neighbours and his subjects he was a shade of secure defense 10Tovma4    13:1 | saying of the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled for the land of 10Tovma4    13:2 | Nowhere was there any hope or expectation 10Tovma4    13:4 | and dismayed onlookers.

It was something like a fire that 11Asogh1    40:30 | Armenians and Iberians died, and was wounded below 11Asogh1    41:2 | very place where his army was defeated; ordered to collect the 11Asogh1    41:6 | This was in [447=998] year 11Asogh1    42:3 | He was the culprit of peace and 11Asogh1    42:6 | blow on the board, which was forbidden to them by the 11Asogh1    42:9 | the same name, where he was met by Bagarat, the king 11Asogh1    42:11 | of the Ruses, a warrior was carrying hay for his horse 11Asogh1    42:13 | for the wrath of God was heavy on them for their 11Asogh1    45:2 | whom, as we said above, was erected on the gallows by 11Asogh1    46:1 | or incarnation of our Lord was coming to an end, in 11Asogh1    47:2 | the Armenian king, Gagik, who was at enmity with each other 12Last1    1:1 | own road, And the country was filled with impiety 12Last1    1:5 | in our dying days there was no time (to be healed 12Last1    1:6 | the animating breath of life was reduced 12Last1    1:11 | Dawit’ the Curopalate [990-1000] was a mighty man, a builder 12Last1    1:11 | For in his day it was as the prophecy states: everyone 12Last1    1:13 | went before him and everyone was honored by him with generous 12Last1    1:13 | ishxanut’iwn), honor, and station, and was exceedingly happy 12Last1    1:14 | prophecy of the psalmist David was fulfilled with regard to them 12Last1    1:14 | fall” [Psalms 89. 5-6]. For when the emperor was crossing the Aghorhi land, he 12Last1    1:15 | but the western army which was called Erhuzk’, and the azatagund 12Last1    1:16 | to choke to death. (This was) because they had wearied of 12Last1    1:24 | against itself cannot stand” [Mark 3.14]. Such was the case with the country 12Last1    1:26 | recited about them, “The land was like the garden of Eden 12Last1    1:29 | other cultivated places. Yet this was the beginning of the destruction 12Last1    2:0 | of the land of Armenia was Gagik [I, 989-1020], son of Ashot, brother 12Last1    2:1 | illuminated. In his time, it was as the prophet predicted: “The 12Last1    2:1 | the prophet predicted: “The earth was full of the knowledge of 12Last1    2:1 | sea.” For the patriarchal throne was occupied by lord Sargis who 12Last1    2:4 | the same district (Taron) who was nicknamed Kozern, who wrote a 12Last1    2:6 | remembrance. (Gagik’s) sons, Smbat, who was called Yovhannes, and his brother 12Last1    2:7 | Smbat was physically large and quite fat 12Last1    2:7 | but they say that he was more learned than many; while 12Last1    2:7 | learned than many; while Ashot was handsome, stout-hearted and warlike 12Last1    2:9 | Smbat accepted this and was returning to his city. On 12Last1    2:10 | his great physical weight, (Smbat) was unable to mount a horse 12Last1    2:14 | many places from him. He was unable to bear this, and 12Last1    2:17 | lord Petros (Petros I Getadardz), [1019-1058] was ordained kat’oghikos during the lifetime 12Last1    2:18 | sent emissaries to Georgi—who was ruling the Georgians—to come 12Last1    2:24 | this all, the emperor himself was astonished at the bravery of 12Last1    2:25 | fell into a swamp, and was unable to pass. They attacked 12Last1    2:27 | It was a pitiful scene there and 12Last1    2:35 | this befell them, whether it was a fitting lesson for the 12Last1    2:36 | the Revelation of God, and was exalted by him 12Last1    2:38 | the horn of our faith was raised up. Then, yet more 12Last1    2:39 | But it was there that the destruction of 12Last1    3:5 | fortress called Mazdat, for such was the ancient custom of Greece 12Last1    3:6 | his homonymous (relative, Nicephor) Phocas was infected with the same disease 12Last1    3:8 | their (the rebels’) childish game was not prolonged, (but was) rather 12Last1    3:8 | game was not prolonged, (but was) rather like a structure built 12Last1    3:8 | a flood. For Dawit’, who was called Senek’erim, being harassed by 12Last1    3:9 | Senek’erim at that time was united in counsel with the 12Last1    3:9 | the deed. And because there was no other way of disrupting 12Last1    3:13 | in-law, Andronicos (Andronike), who was his partisan. They brought them 12Last1    3:14 | had so commanded them.

It was ( then) just as it had 12Last1    4:8 | the city’s orchards. He who was prince of that city beseeched 12Last1    4:9 | While (Basil) was occupied with this proposal—since 12Last1    4:9 | the entire land of Persia was in terror and quaking and 12Last1    4:9 | face of the country. This was the time for (such a 12Last1    4:11 | seems to me that this was recompense for the merciless sword 12Last1    4:11 | view of their enemies. (Her) was just as Egypt had been 12Last1    4:11 | barbarians clearly realize that it was the hand of the All 12Last1    4:11 | of the All-Mighty which was warring with them 12Last1    4:14 | and co-emperor, Constantine (Kostandin), was in the district of the 12Last1    4:16 | While he was dying a certain marvelous sign 12Last1    4:16 | In the evening, as he was breathing his last, a lightning 12Last1    5:0 | brother Constantine [VIII, 1025-1028] ruled. Because he was a peace-loving and generous 12Last1    5:0 | loving and generous (man), he was quiet for the first year 12Last1    5:0 | the great Basil. Now there was a certain brave and war 12Last1    5:0 | by the Persian border”), and was renowned throughout the entire East 12Last1    5:1 | year of Constantine’s reign, which was, according to our calendar, the 12Last1    5:1 | an entire year until he was more in control 12Last1    5:2 | such wicked deeds. For it was ( Komianos) who had placed (the 12Last1    5:3 | certain eunuch named Nikit, who was to be overseer of the 12Last1    5:4 | over half the kingdom and was styled in Greek parakoimonemos (parhekimanos 12Last1    5:4 | land of Georgia. But he was unable to do anything, since 12Last1    6:1 | to Romanus (Romanos) [III], (Argyrus), [1028-1034], who was one of the officers of 12Last1    6:6 | The emperor was just such a fool. He 12Last1    6:7 | the very road (which Romanus) was travelling, an army of Tachiks 12Last1    7:1 | called Samusat (which they say was built by Sampson). (Salamay) had 12Last1    7:3 | what had happened, an order was given and a multitude of 12Last1    9:0 | saw an apparition whose head was of gold, whose shoulders and 12Last1    9:0 | and sides were copper. That was in the past. Now (the 12Last1    9:1 | of the present monarch. (Michael) was neither from the royal clan 12Last1    9:1 | of the army); rather he was an insignificant palace functionary. The 12Last1    9:1 | account.

They say that 12Last1    9:4 | causes, that because the kingdom was not properly his, he would 12Last1    9:5 | in accordance with royal custom was obliged to go to church 12Last1    9:5 | days. But the wicked dew was unable to abide this, thinking 12Last1    9:5 | abide this, thinking that (Michael) was rebelling from him. People who 12Last1    9:5 | the fact that) the emperor was in Thessalonica frequently, probably with 12Last1    9:7 | lord of the city, who was named Xtrik, being shut up 12Last1    9:9 | over that ditch until it was full. Then (Xtrik) got in 12Last1    9:10 | the fortress saw that there was no way out for them 12Last1    9:10 | the Persians over that place was ended 12Last1    9:11 | beginning of (Michael’s) reign, there was an eclipse of the sun 12Last1    9:12 | which greatly astounded viewers. This was similar to the signs (preceding 12Last1    9:16 | Now the queen’s sister, who was named Theodora, summoned the chiefs 12Last1    9:17 | under the altar.

For she was greatly troubled that none of 12Last1    10:0 | emperor of the lands, she was requited by him as we 12Last1    10:1 | Many people thought that he was her lover. I do not 12Last1    10:1 | is true, or whether it was as she herself had written 12Last1    10:3 | During the last battle everyone was intending that after his triumph 12Last1    10:5 | Such a one was the great David who was 12Last1    10:5 | was the great David who was anointed king by the prophet 12Last1    10:8 | Now it was not that this monarch was 12Last1    10:8 | was not that this monarch was worthy of any praise and 12Last1    10:8 | worthy of any praise and was so pitied by God, but 12Last1    10:8 | the source of impiety. It was just as the Savior said 12Last1    10:9 | authority except from God” [Romans 13.1]. He was not speaking about a prince 12Last1    10:10 | befell (Maneak’s son), for he was not punished by any man 12Last1    10:12 | outset of Constantine’s reign, which was the year [490] according to our 12Last1    10:14 | Thereupon their throne of stability was moved and never more came 12Last1    10:23 | since upon (Yovhannes’) death (Sargis) was his executor 12Last1    10:24 | the point that no one was his equal—together with his 12Last1    10:25 | and, using beseeching words, he was able to persuade him.

While they 12Last1    13:4 | a people from whom there was no hope of aid 12Last1    13:5 | boasting, that merely a jawbone was sufficient to smash his brains 12Last1    13:6 | gifts of treasure; but he was unable to accomplish anything, for 12Last1    13:7 | sword, but many, since it was evening, they threw (to their 12Last1    13:8 | quantity of booty, the enemy was delighted, while our (people) were 12Last1    13:8 | the people). The entire country was like a field ready for 12Last1    13:9 | own land, and every country was filled up with an immeasurable 12Last1    14:3 | after three years, lord Xach’ik was released from the royal city 12Last1    14:4 | he had tarried in Constantinople was this: they wanted to place 12Last1    14:4 | Xach’ik) refused (arguing that) “What was not (a practice) before my 12Last1    14:4 | our great Illuminator (St. Gregory) was in no way frightened by 12Last1    15:2 | Because the city was without a night-watch, they 12Last1    15:2 | history meriting much lamentation. It was the custom of the city’s 12Last1    15:4 | near them. By such deeds was the city stripped of its 12Last1    16:0 | year after this (devastation) occurred was ( the year) [503] of our (Armenian 12Last1    16:2 | enumerate them? The entire land was full of corpses—cultivated and 12Last1    16:3 | the other, until the country was totally devoid of inhabitants and 12Last1    16:4 | country donned mourning garb. It was ruined because its inhabitants were 12Last1    16:4 | sighs were heard, everywhere there was weeping and sobbing. Nowhere were 12Last1    16:6 | embrace with sheaves, no more was the praise of passersby heard 12Last1    16:12 | land behind it, so it was ( when the Seljuks attacked); streams 12Last1    16:12 | from its coursing, the ground was inundated 12Last1    16:15 | that befell us! How bitter was the death we died 12Last1    16:22 | as consolation that “Your son was not slain by a weak 12Last1    16:23 | unchecked destruction of Christians? It was as though the sea had 12Last1    16:27 | by looking that (the place) was unassailable. So, passing it by 12Last1    16:28 | and saw that the city was completely prepared (to withstand a 12Last1    16:28 | for the animals, since it was harvest time 12Last1    16:29 | of the city, since he was a pious man, called upon 12Last1    16:32 | inquired what the ceaseless clamor was and learned from the learned 12Last1    16:34 | heart of a prince who was one of the Sultan’s close 12Last1    16:36 | This was done by God Who knows 12Last1    16:36 | even) from afar. If God was able to turn Balaam into 12Last1    16:36 | during a time of famine was able to feed Elijah for 12Last1    16:38 | one of our presbyters, who was quite old and extremely informed 12Last1    16:38 | anything, since the presbyter’s blow was the stronger 12Last1    16:39 | very frightful thing, which, it was said, required four hundred attendants 12Last1    16:40 | When everything was so arranged, they released a 12Last1    16:41 | with our people, for he was a brave man. Coming to 12Last1    16:41 | but within the city there was no small amount of rejoicing 12Last1    16:43 | contents of the bottle (he was carrying) upon the baban. Instantly 12Last1    16:45 | the colossal giant Ovgin who was nine cubits tall; the child 12Last1    16:49 | tossed into the furnace? It was then that (God) speedily came 12Last1    17:1 | in this fashion. Rather, he was constantly preoccupied with eating and 12Last1    17:1 | Monomachus) squandered on whores, and was in no way troubled by 12Last1    17:2 | destroy it. And so, it was in (Monomachus’) time that (enemies 12Last1    17:6 | held Duin and Ganjak and was the son-in-law of 12Last1    17:8 | the prince of the district was T’eodoros, son of Aharon whom 12Last1    17:9 | prince displayed much valor, but was fatally wounded, and died a 12Last1    17:10 | His premature death was most regrettable, because he was 12Last1    17:10 | was most regrettable, because he was only a lad and exceedingly 12Last1    17:10 | the prophet David, and he was braver than many 12Last1    17:14 | over just how very bitter was the period we lived in 12Last1    17:14 | we lived in. Our life was not a real one. As 12Last1    17:16 | If all of this (misfortune) was visited upon us because of 12Last1    17:17 | he recognized his own and was recognized by his own 12Last1    17:22 | about the Church, which formerly was so embellished, comely, fruitful and 12Last1    17:24 | everything which I have related was visited upon us because of 12Last1    17:25 | of our sorrows, as it was in times past, when they 12Last1    18:0 | lioness with a lion’s frenzy was roaring in her lair (resembling 12Last1    18:2 | the surrounding areas, since he was a very martial man. However 12Last1    18:5 | There was a populous and rich awan 12Last1    18:6 | that fire they entire plain was lit up as though it 12Last1    18:10 | at the palace, and who was quite old and exceedingly rich 12Last1    18:12 | on the contrary, since he was uncivil, infected with Robovam’s disease 12Last1    18:14 | of our (Armenian) era [1057], which was the tenth Byzantine indication 12Last1    18:15 | at the Creation: “The land was desolate and unprepared, for there 12Last1    18:15 | desolate and unprepared, for there was no one to work it 12Last1    18:17 | Thus, was the country. For when it 12Last1    18:17 | the country. For when it was still cultivated and full of 12Last1    18:22 | When the Greek kingdom was divided in two, the iron 12Last1    18:22 | Egypt), and the cauldron which was shown to Jeremiah, boiling and 12Last1    18:24 | deaths with voracious appetites. It was impossible for anyone they spotted 12Last1    18:25 | Byzantine warfare, Iwane, Liparit’s son, ( was alive). A dwelling place, the 12Last1    18:26 | to encounter the judge who was concerned with (the government) of 12Last1    18:27 | I may enter.” When he was unable to subdue them in 12Last1    18:28 | as the latter heard what was going on, he sent one 12Last1    18:28 | bring him auxiliary troops. This was the inception of unbelievable misfortunes 12Last1    18:29 | multitude of their troops, he was awed. For there was none 12Last1    18:29 | he was awed. For there was none to oppose them. That 12Last1    18:31 | they observed that the country was lordless and without a defender 12Last1    18:32 | there at night. The city was unprepared and not warned of 12Last1    18:33 | a lamentable spectacle of agitation was revealed that it even would 12Last1    18:36 | surrounding it, besieged until there was no living human remaining except 12Last1    18:38 | but quickly collapsed. Its collapse was heard throughout the world, and 12Last1    18:40 | bound with chains. Since there was no prince nor leader there 12Last1    18:42 | death. More bitter than death was the scintillating of swords above 12Last1    18:43 | skin together with the nails was pulled up on both sides 12Last1    18:44 | they were subjected? Their skin was flayed from the breast upward 12Last1    19:5 | sword, and slavery until nowhere was anyone left alive to emit 12Last1    20:0 | Comnenus (Komianos), since he was generous and quite wealthy, assembled 12Last1    20:1 | did not accept. When nothing was accomplished by the emissaries, the 12Last1    20:2 | adversaries met and clashed. There was so much blood shed that 12Last1    20:2 | victorious. And since the patriarch was on Comnenus’ side, many of 12Last1    21:2 | congealed in the ground. It was among us as it was 12Last1    21:2 | was among us as it was in the time of Moses 12Last1    21:3 | the soil of the country was dyed with our blood. Tumors 12Last1    21:4 | three days, (the Egyptians’) day was turned to night. However (in 12Last1    21:4 | However (in Armenia) the light was entirely extinguished, for the eye 12Last1    21:5 | The only thing we lacked was the Sea, yet if you 12Last1    21:5 | in the Red Sea, which was dyed with the blood of 12Last1    21:7 | There was a double justice in chastising 12Last1    21:9 | speaking, Melitene (Malatya), while it was still flourishing, it resembled a 12Last1    21:9 | and bravery, like Moab, it was tender and genteel. Its merchants 12Last1    21:11 | Even the first man was unable to enjoy the blessings 12Last1    21:15 | from Persia, but whether it was the same one that had 12Last1    21:17 | reached it at night. There was a brigade of Byzantine cavalrymen 12Last1    21:19 | This was the recompense of incorruptible, righteous 12Last1    21:24 | since they thought that there was a cavalry force within the 12Last1    21:25 | snow with numerous pavilions and was sitting on (one of) them 12Last1    21:26 | s) saw that another army was not there, they turned around 12Last1    21:28 | the great Gregory, when he was lord of the country. They 12Last1    22:0 | There was a certain bishop named Yakobos 12Last1    22:2 | But this was all a sham, not the 12Last1    22:8 | St. James said that this was impossible. Nonetheless, such was the 12Last1    22:8 | this was impossible. Nonetheless, such was the case regarding our people 12Last1    22:11 | the heresy of the T’ondrakeans) was quickly exposed by the vardapets 12Last1    22:14 | For he was an extremely great publicist, and 12Last1    22:16 | in Eden, whose immortal fruit was the very body of the 12Last1    22:21 | but others did not. Everyone was confused and doubtful and sought 12Last1    22:26 | There was a certain cleric from the 12Last1    22:26 | kept watch over matters. He was an extremely learned man, and 12Last1    22:27 | words, and requited him as was meet. For he removed him 12Last1    22:28 | that loathsome sect. For he was greatly concerned over the loss 12Last1    22:30 | matter and comprehended what it was. They refused (Yakobos’ request) saying 12Last1    22:32 | died like an ass, and was buried like one, leaving behind 12Last1    23:0 | There was a certain adulterous monk named 12Last1    23:1 | Aghbania (Aghuania) “Caucasian Albania”, but was in fact Satan’s first-born 12Last1    23:1 | from the furnace of Gehenna was ever billowing forth from his 12Last1    23:5 | drink themselves to ruin. It was about such people that Moses 12Last1    23:6 | There was a certain prince named Vrverh 12Last1    23:6 | free from want. Their director was known as Andreas, a man 12Last1    23:15 | Cross) in the villages. It was through the Cross that the 12Last1    23:15 | that the victory of death was set at naught and the 12Last1    23:16 | presently is called Gaylaxazut, there was an ancient awan named Bazmaghbiwr 12Last1    23:16 | of this Cross the village was renamed Xach’ (“Cross”), even to 12Last1    23:17 | their deed) the sky above was stupefied and the earth was 12Last1    23:17 | was stupefied and the earth was afflicted with trembling. In the 12Last1    23:19 | The evening that this (deed) was wrought it had suddenly begun 12Last1    23:23 | sent a judge, whose name was Eghia, to see after the 12Last1    23:25 | Upon receiving the news—it was as though everyone were informed 12Last1    23:25 | especially laymen, and so vast was their number that I am 12Last1    23:26 | called Kot’er, since the judge was there. However, the people, forcibly 12Last1    23:29 | It was evening. The sun was setting 12Last1    23:29 | It was evening. The sun was setting, having dispersed of its 12Last1    23:29 | pass over. Not one person was injured out of the entire 12Last1    23:32 | working, realized that the Lord was visiting our (Armenian) people. In 12Last1    23:33 | When day dawned, it was a Sunday. The judge went 12Last1    23:34 | hunters, it changes colors. So was ( Vrverh) when he observed the 12Last1    23:36 | and the judge agreed. This was because the brother of the 12Last1    23:36 | princely station, bravery and valiance was one of the king’s acquaintances 12Last1    23:36 | select (companions), and the judge was very considerate of this. Consequently 12Last1    23:38 | to escape punishment (from men) was unable to flee from the 12Last1    23:38 | had so dried up, he was unable to eat; whatever he 12Last1    23:38 | unable to eat; whatever he was able to get down, he 12Last1    23:38 | threw up, since his esophagus was blocked. So, he remained until 12Last1    24:1 | of that first structure which was built with great difficulty but 12Last1    24:6 | considered (that cup) empty. (This was) especially so for the fortress 12Last1    24:6 | place and to see what was going on there 12Last1    24:7 | There was warfare in the country of 12Last1    24:9 | the place), although the battle was growing more intense, he wanted 12Last1    24:10 | or important friends. Rather, each was seized with fright 12Last1    24:14 | of those corpses, for there was no one to cover over 12Last1    24:15 | The lofty and beautiful palace was burned because of the injustices 12Last1    25:2 | Emperor Diogenes (Romanus [IV] Diogenes, [1068-1071]) was more or less the sixtieth 12Last1    25:8 | where the king of Persia was encamped, by the borders of 12Last1    25:12 | But since the Byzantine emperor was uninformed of what had transpired 12Last1    25:13 | looked up from where he was seated, and he observed the 12Last1    25:14 | Joshua and given him victory, was not with him. Nor did 12Last1    25:14 | power did not intervene nor was He for us a horn 12Last1    25:17 | from the hands of foreigners was blinded by his own folk 12Last1    25:18 | and soldiers ended, and triumph was no more given to that 12Last1    25:18 | and justice of the court was ended. They achieved only the 12Last1    25:20 | Manazkert remained impregnable, nonetheless he was able to overturn many lands 12Last1    26:2 | faced earthward. For while it was fully lit, it was in 12Last1    26:2 | it was fully lit, it was in its mid-course, speedily 12Last1    26:3 | stars and merely its outline was visible 12Last1    26:6 | This was not all: for the clerics 12Last1    26:9 | Rather, the Lord’s wrath was visited upon us one and 12Last1    26:9 | the sins of our ancestors was demanded of us 12Last1    26:10 | The punishment was visited upon us sevenfold, for 12Last1    26:10 | sevenfold, for the name Christian was considered an object of deriding 12Last1    26:10 | the law quit us, nor was there room for our tears 12Last1    26:11 | no strength, and our drink was bitter from fear and from 12Last1    26:12 | His scepter of counsel as was Israel in the days of 12Last1    26:18 | of this and more than was written in this book was 12Last1    26:18 | was written in this book was visited upon us because of 12Last1    26:19 | entire time of our days was full of agitation and difficulty 12Last1    26:20 | Nor was there one of them (of 12Last1    26:20 | whatever they proposed regarding us was evil. Their words were full
