For 04Yegh3    6:136 | the youths of the land were as bold as mature warriors 04Yegh3    6:140 | heard this bitter news, they were in no way discouraged or 04Yegh3    6:150 | of their ancestors, many books were introduced and read, in which 04Yegh3    7:152 | who with all their strength were opposing the wickedness of the 04Yegh3    7:156 | Although they were aware of their own small 04Yegh3    7:156 | of the two kings, they were not discouraged or shaken, but 04Yegh3    7:156 | not discouraged or shaken, but were emboldened in their former pact 04Yegh3    7:157 | from each one’s house.

They were few who struck us but 04Yegh4    1:1 | struck by us, for we were still united and agreed 04Yegh4    1:2 | unanimity seemed imposing, so they were unable to resist us in 04Yegh4    1:4 | when the limbs, which previously were part of a man’s undefiled 04Yegh4    1:7 | their own true lives and were the cause of destruction for 04Yegh4    1:13 | him to vain hopes that were even above his own station 04Yegh4    1:22 | armor, and became as it were a soldier fulfilling his will 04Yegh4    1:24 | peasants, and some others who were so-called priests 04Yegh4    2:41 | one of those Mamikoneans who were in service to the Greeks 04Yegh4    2:44 | continuously that all the Armenians were united behind him 04Yegh4    2:46 | false priests, pretending that they were honest men.

Having confined 09Draskh1    39:1 | from whose mouths righteous words were always absent 09Draskh1    39:2 | them and their ways, which were always extremely prone to wicked 09Draskh1    40:10 | friendship, exchanging generous gifts that were useful for the winter 09Draskh1    40:13 | other precious, royal robes, which were embroidered with gold and beautifully 09Draskh1    40:18 | of the harvest, the granaries were overloaded.

The wine cellars were full of the yield of 09Draskh1    40:19 | built with solid stones that were cemented with lime mortar 09Draskh1    40:20 | Nevertheless, they were surpassed by the prince of 09Draskh1    40:22 | son”. His relations with Smbat were bound by an indissoluble pact 09Draskh1    41:2 | But as those people were obedient and subservient to king 09Draskh1    41:2 | to oppose stupidly those who were higher than he 09Draskh1    41:5 | another face to face, and were speaking of trivial things, suddenly 09Draskh1    41:8 | the people of Egrisi, who were sharply divided and prepared to 09Draskh1    42:9 | he thought that if he were to pay the tribute for 09Draskh1    42:11 | But if peace were disturbed, then having possession of 09Draskh1    42:12 | to the king’s naxarars, who were too ignorant to foresee the 09Draskh1    42:12 | mockery and the scourging that were about to come 09Draskh1    42:13 | and venturing on undertakings that were wicked as well as subversive 09Draskh1    42:14 | Vanandac’i and Hawuni naxarars, who were his kinsmen.

Quickly they ravaged whatever 09Draskh1    42:23 | of numerous warriors, until they were stopped by the king who 09Draskh1    43:7 | robes, and many cushions, which were the products of the colorful 09Draskh1    43:9 | arrogance, so that his thoughts were not in agreement with his 09Draskh1    43:14 | my confinement. But my expectations were not fulfilled and I was 09Draskh1    44:10 | of the Caucasus. These people were of our fold, and flocks 09Draskh1    45:5 | that against their wishes they were forced to make preparations for 09Draskh1    45:11 | of Ashkenaz, as if it were night. Putting our laborious toils 09Draskh1    45:21 | midst that even though we were honored and blessed with the 09Draskh1    45:21 | the call of duty, we were not thankful to the giver 09Draskh1    45:21 | comfort. Because of this we were admonished with such misfortunes, and 09Draskh1    45:23 | God-built churches of Christ were left forlorn by the Exalted 09Draskh1    45:23 | The gates of the churches were destroyed by axes and hammers 09Draskh1    45:24 | before our princes words that were deceptive and false.

In their midst they 09Draskh1    45:26 | There were some with pure hands and 09Draskh1    45:26 | and unbearable toils. The latter were annihilated because of the iniquity 09Draskh1    45:27 | the servants of the Lord were cast out as prey to 09Draskh1    45:27 | the saints of the Exalted were given to the beasts to 09Draskh1    46:2 | and the exhausting tortures that were suffered by the children of 09Draskh1    46:2 | children of our people, who were struck with famine, the sword 09Draskh1    46:5 | in the highest places, and were highly exalted in the royal 09Draskh1    46:5 | exalted in the royal court, were easily deceived by the wicked 09Draskh1    46:6 | others, who he made believe were men respected by him, he 09Draskh1    46:14 | slaughterer of multitudes. The rest were forced to take refuge in 09Draskh1    46:15 | of distinction, such as princesses, were seized by the conquerors. More 09Draskh1    46:16 | Some of them were confined in dark prisons, clad 09Draskh1    46:16 | cilice and coarse close.

Also they were tormented with calamitous agonies and 09Draskh1    46:20 | vessels of their dining tables were left in disorder. Their nuptial 09Draskh1    46:20 | in disorder. Their nuptial chambers were filled with smoke. Thus, death 09Draskh1    47:4 | Subsequently, the brothers who were strongly attached to one another 09Draskh1    47:8 | of his governors and satraps were withdrawing from action because of 09Draskh1    47:10 | Although the people who were besieged inside the fortress had 09Draskh1    47:11 | the old and the young, were all betrayed into the hands 09Draskh1    47:13 | and wished that their heads were seas, and their eyes founts 09Draskh1    48:1 | well as the horrible crimes were brought upon the Church of 09Draskh1    48:1 | terrified of the tyrant, they were admonished as if by the 09Draskh1    48:8 | Those (who survived), whether they were related to him or not 09Draskh1    48:9 | Certain others, who were annoyed at him, even rose 09Draskh1    48:13 | the men in the fortress were a select lot, who skilfully 09Draskh1    48:14 | And as there were many believers in Christ who 09Draskh1    48:15 | the loss of Christians, who were put to the sword, as 09Draskh1    48:16 | unnecessary death, both those that were under his command in the 09Draskh1    49:8 | the travails that he suffered were much more pitiable and horrible 09Draskh1    49:16 | had dripped, cured many who were sick, in danger (of death 09Draskh1    49:17 | light of the baptismal font were reborn in the Holy Spirit 09Draskh1    50:1 | which slaughters multitudes. The rest were taken captive for their (Ishmaelites’ 09Draskh1    50:3 | Those, who were caressed and fondled at one 09Draskh1    50:3 | daily subsistence, for their treasures were taken away from them, and 09Draskh1    50:3 | ornaments as well as household were ravaged 09Draskh1    50:6 | the prince, died there, and were buried together near the gates 09Draskh1    50:7 | wives of the two princes were taken to Atrpatakan in Persia 09Draskh1    50:7 | Atrpatakan in Persia, where they were confined in prison 09Draskh1    50:9 | of all the fortresses that were in his father’s domain, and 09Draskh1    50:10 | of the enemy, wherever there were raiding Ishmaelites.
