It was sealed with the caliph’s ring as if 10Tovma3    5:12 | into your control my army with my outstanding generals from all 10Tovma3    5:20 | had wished and in accordance with the impious caliph’s order: the 10Tovma3    5:20 | the races of Muslims began with fearless audacity to scatter and 10Tovma3    5:20 | they had followed him (Bugha) with their families, and had set 10Tovma3    5:24 | the caterpillar, and the grub with the grasshopper” set upon the 10Tovma3    5:25 | until the springtime. He kept with him many prisoners, having ruined 10Tovma3    6:5 | the prince and his entourage with their families and others not 10Tovma3    6:5 | that suddenly the trumpets sounded with a strident blast to inform 10Tovma3    6:6 | All the magnates with a mass of common people 10Tovma3    6:7 | authority; he had exerted himself with great effort and over a 10Tovma3    6:11 | He sat with eyebrows frowning; he was puffed 10Tovma3    6:12 | jeering terms full of presumption. With deceitful fraud he disguised his 10Tovma3    6:13 | pious king, do you speak with us as if we were 10Tovma3    6:13 | Before subjecting us to punishment with cruel tortures, by striking us 10Tovma3    6:13 | cruel tortures, by striking us with your words as if with 10Tovma3    6:13 | with your words as if with stones you have plunged our 10Tovma3    6:16 | lines, and destroy our armies with the sword. Our kinsmen you 10Tovma3    6:16 | kinsmen you used to beset with grave troubles, you ruined the 10Tovma3    6:18 | see you, personable and handsome, with noble countenance, decorous and elegant 10Tovma3    6:18 | in the tribunal before me with cheerful and joyful faces, like 10Tovma3    6:18 | men, full of our kindness, with unrepenting audacity. But I, sparing 10Tovma3    6:21 | holy patriarch Yovhannēs made answer with the great princes of Armenia 10Tovma3    6:22 | bears witness to the truth with him as teacher, let alone 10Tovma3    6:28 | Then the king was filled with anger; the colour of his 10Tovma3    6:30 | will be on good terms with me and rule over your 10Tovma3    6:33 | For: “This people serves me with ( their) lips, but their hearts 10Tovma3    6:33 | We accept the royal commands,” with the intention that outwardly they 10Tovma3    6:35 | him Satan had taken root with all his hosts; through all 10Tovma3    6:35 | snares he had cunningly bound with an indissoluble belt his thrice 10Tovma3    6:35 | knowledge, as a convenient snare with poisonous arrows to be loosed 10Tovma3    6:38 | let his memory not be with those who, although they erred 10Tovma3    6:39 | their faces.” And in accordance with his perverse depravity he inherited 10Tovma3    6:41 | great arena of spiritual warfare— with fearless audacity. In brief but 10Tovma3    6:44 | priest Grigor to be united with them and complete the number 10Tovma3    6:46 | his servants to bind them with double chains and to cast 10Tovma3    6:47 | the saints realised that battle with the evil one was not 10Tovma3    6:47 | themselves for a lasting confrontation. With ceaseless psalm singing they perpetually 10Tovma3    6:48 | of righteousness and girding themselves with truth, shoeing their feet with 10Tovma3    6:48 | with truth, shoeing their feet with the readiness of the gospel 10Tovma3    6:48 | gospel of peace, girding themselves with the word of Christ as 10Tovma3    6:48 | swords; putting on their backs with all their heart unsullied faith 10Tovma3    6:53 | hands, as Paul himself, adorned with the grace of God, note 10Tovma3    6:53 | of myself and of those with me 10Tovma3    6:57 | the holy Lent, being crucified with Christ, up to the duty 10Tovma3    6:57 | Pentecost; they sat at table with Christ like young men of 10Tovma3    6:59 | me, Lord, when you come with your kingdom. He blessed them 10Tovma3    6:59 | and the ascetic priest, and with a good confession, in the 10Tovma3    6:60 | lord Gregory had fallen asleep with a good confession, they offered 10Tovma3    6:61 | day of the saint’s death with great rejoicing in Christ Jesus 10Tovma3    7:7 | the two do not act with a single piety, then there 10Tovma3    7:9 | a bird does not fly with both wings, it cannot rise 10Tovma3    7:10 | Son and Holy Spirit. “For with the heart we believe in 10Tovma3    7:10 | we believe in righteousness, and with the mouth we confess salvation 10Tovma3    7:10 | said, like those who honour with the lips and disdain in 10Tovma3    7:10 | this people,” says (Scripture), “honour with their lips, and their hearts 10Tovma3    7:11 | impossible that he who believes with the mouth could deny with 10Tovma3    7:11 | with the mouth could deny with the lips, since: “A good 10Tovma3    7:14 | I dwell amidst a people with impure lips 10Tovma3    7:15 | are those who are impious with their lips towards the Son 10Tovma3    7:17 | made the heart.

He dismissed the troops with their various generals who had 10Tovma3    8:10 | entering the city, he had with him numerous prisoners and captives 10Tovma3    8:16 | death, to execute them immediately with the sword 10Tovma3    8:17 | to enter God’s presence.

But all the 10Tovma3    9:5 | he (Smbat) and his people with their possessions lived without worry 10Tovma3    9:8 | of that city which, filled with evildoing, surpassed Sodom and Jericho 10Tovma3    9:10 | a longbow and struck him with an arrow through the opening 10Tovma3    9:11 | Immediately he surrounded the city with a wall of fire, the 10Tovma3    10:1 | the lands of the East. With fearless audacity and arrogance, he 10Tovma3    10:5 | Now when Bugha with his numerous army arrived close 10Tovma3    10:10 | So they returned humiliated, covered with shame and ignominy, ridiculed and 10Tovma3    10:12 | mountainous areas, intending to resist with force and courageous heart—especially 10Tovma3    10:13 | the defiles. Only let us with united hearts take refuge in 10Tovma3    10:18 | he had frequently waged war with them in previous battles, he 10Tovma3    10:19 | to come to a land with royal solicitude to their obedient 10Tovma3    10:19 | like brigands or ravage it with sword and captivity. If you 10Tovma3    10:19 | from court as a governor with peaceful intentions you would have 10Tovma3    10:20 | live, I shall oppose (you) with the power and force of 10Tovma3    10:20 | but I shall meet you with arms and a bow and 10Tovma3    10:20 | a bow and a sword, with valiant men and select horses 10Tovma3    10:21 | foreigners and God was pleased with them, so too shall I 10Tovma3    10:21 | so too shall I deal with you and your army 10Tovma3    10:24 | who, grasping your power, play with you and all your haughty 10Tovma3    10:27 | great perturbation and stood seized with astonishment. All his plans had 10Tovma3    10:27 | what to do. After conferring with much deliberation, as a consequence 10Tovma3    10:29 | to the north. He himself with the majority of his troops 10Tovma3    10:29 | built strongholds, carefully surrounded them with walls, set up fortifications, piled 10Tovma3    10:30 | ranks and filled the line with the various companies of select 10Tovma3    10:30 | this; those who are occupied with warfare can number all the 10Tovma3    10:30 | caliph’s treasury, which they brought with them loaded on camels 10Tovma3    10:32 | They returned to their encampment with a great victory, rejoicing with 10Tovma3    10:32 | with a great victory, rejoicing with unsullied joy. Then they settled 10Tovma3    10:33 | men from their elite clashed with them; they turned the Muslims 10Tovma3    10:33 | they returned to their general with a great victory and much 10Tovma3    10:35 | he had entered his chamber with shame-filled visage. However, not 10Tovma3    10:35 | gripped him, so many companies with drawn swords kept watch around 10Tovma3    10:36 | hand, he began to converse with him: “Why do you slacken 10Tovma3    10:36 | slacken your hand, mingle cowardice with their valour, and allow all 10Tovma3    10:38 | By continuing to speak with the general, the commander removed 10Tovma3    10:40 | to give up waging war with him (Apumusē) until, willingly or 10Tovma3    10:41 | the summit of the mountain, with them many standards one (for 10Tovma3    10:41 | for) each thousand elite men with noble mounts.
