Because I had regard for and faith in your saying 02Agat1    17:45 | and false accusation against you for my sake; rejoice and be 02Agat1    17:47 | We were glad for these days that cast us 02Agat1    17:47 | that cast us low, and for these months in which we 02Agat1    18:4 | stakes in the ground, two for her feet and two for 02Agat1    18:4 | for her feet and two for her hands, and tied her 02Agat1    18:4 | applied the torches to her for a long time, burning and 02Agat1    18:9 | To you be glory, for you did not deprive our 02Agat1    18:9 | iniquities [cf. Deut. 32.10-11; 16.8-9; Ps. 60.5]. And behold we die for your glorious name 02Agat1    18:11 | I thank you, benign Lord, for not excluding me. For I 02Agat1    18:11 | Lord, for not excluding me. For I was ill and could 02Agat1    18:13 | and threw them as food for the dogs of the city 02Agat1    19:1 | he who was so renowned for bravery in battle. Not least 02Agat1    19:4 | For my heart is broken for 02Agat1    19:4 | For my heart is broken for that amazing and unforgettable girl 02Agat1    19:5 | Romans, and our Parthian territory, for that is our homeland, and 02Agat1    19:6 | For there are many regions to 02Agat1    19:7 | whom these magicians have destroyed; for their sorcery has become so 02Agat1    19:8 | came forward to receive orders for the execution of saint Gayane 02Agat1    19:9 | was overwhelmed, frenzied and stupefied for love, nor did he remember 02Agat1    19:16 | For each of them they brought 02Agat1    19:17 | follows: “We thank you, Lord, for making us worthy to die 02Agat1    19:17 | of your great name, and for honoring our earthly nature so 02Agat1    19:17 | worthy of your divinity, and for making me share in the 02Agat1    19:19 | Now remember us, Lord, who ’for your name’s sake die daily 02Agat1    19:19 | been considered as a lamb for the slaughter. Arise and do 02Agat1    19:19 | and do not abandon us for your name’s sake’ [Ps. 43.23-24]. Give us 02Agat1    20:1 | For six days the king remained 02Agat1    20:1 | due to his passionate love for the beautiful Rhipsime. Afterwards he 02Agat1    20:5 | they could not. This was for two reasons: one, because of 02Agat1    20:11 | even his bones be found? For on the same day that 02Agat1    20:18 | if he is still alive, for many years have passed since 02Agat1    20:21 | alive somewhere there, come forth, for that god of yours whom 02Agat1    20:25 | The naxarars waited for them outside the city 02Agat1    20:33 | Gregory replied: “The ones who, for God, died by your hands 02Agat1    20:35 | where they had been killed, for they were still there 02Agat1    20:36 | through the power of God. For nine days and nine nights 02Agat1    20:37 | own torn clothing. He note: “ For now let these be the 02Agat1    20:39 | to God the entire night for their salvation and begged that 02Agat1    21:3 | warns; he castigates the son for whom he cares’ 02Agat1    21:7 | God’ you spoke well, because for those who recognize him, he 02Agat1    21:8 | But for those who do not recognize 02Agat1    21:9 | does he guard his worshippers? For those who fell into our 02Agat1    21:10 | desired the repose of death for men, and at his second 02Agat1    21:14 | and prepared me to suffer for his great name’s sake. And 02Agat1    21:17 | But as for saint Rhipsime, you yourselves know 02Agat1    21:18 | front of a single girl. For the power of the Lord 02Agat1    21:19 | And as for me, you know that for 02Agat1    21:19 | for me, you know that for fifteen years I have been 02Agat1    21:19 | pit, dwelling amidst snakes - yet for fear of the Lord they 02Agat1    21:19 | nor was my heart dismayed. For I hoped in the Lord 02Agat1    21:21 | who are alive, as intercessors; for they are alive and are 02Agat1    21:21 | are not dead. Recognize God, for he is Lord of all 02Agat1    21:24 | For the great benevolence of the 02Agat1    21:27 | his own glory and incorruptibility [cf. II Tim. 1.10], for you to become heirs of 02Agat1    21:28 | For that reason, he sent his 02Agat1    21:28 | and above all, who exists for all eternity. His kingdom is 02Agat1    21:29 | alive with God and intercede for those who commemorate them; we 02Agat1    21:30 | Because they died for God, they can turn the 02Agat1    21:31 | of the Son of God [cf. Rom. 5.10]. For the Son of God died 02Agat1    21:34 | men. How was it possible for human bodily nature to endure 02Agat1    21:34 | human bodily nature to endure for one day the fearful severity 02Agat1    21:35 | how could a man live for a single day in that 02Agat1    21:36 | of healing labor and profit for souls and bodies. We have 02Agat1    21:37 | nourish you with heavenly words [cf. Ez. 3.2]. For if you will listen to 02Agat1    21:38 | will be sown as profit for you, they will let you 02Agat1    22:1 | hope of forgiveness from God? For we were lost in our 02Agat1    22:3 | if there is still opportunity for conversion; or has he not 02Agat1    22:5 | fell and rolled before him [cf. III Macc. 5.28]. For they could not bear to 02Agat1    22:5 | be separated from him even for a moment because of the 02Agat1    22:6 | For if they ever went away 02Agat1    22:7 | or be able to bear for even one hour the mere 02Agat1    22:7 | of a mass of snakes for fifteen years and survive unscathed 02Agat1    22:8 | the power of the creator. For he who made everything just 02Agat1    22:8 | can change each thing’s character. For those harmful and poisonous animals 02Agat1    22:9 | unworthy, nonetheless he preserved us for your benefit and revealed the 02Agat1    22:10 | Was it really possible for a single young girl to 02Agat1    22:11 | God you are granted propitiation for the shedding of their just 02Agat1    22:12 | But as for me, was I a preacher 02Agat1    22:14 | For in the deep pit every 02Agat1    22:14 | of good cheer, be firm, for the Lord God has preserved 02Agat1    22:15 | For you indeed threw me into 02Agat1    22:17 | For he saved me from death 02Agat1    22:18 | For I was entrusted with telling 02Agat1    22:19 | of this world were arranged. For some men willingly fulfilled for 02Agat1    22:19 | For some men willingly fulfilled for God his good pleasure [cf. II Thess. 1.11], whereas 02Agat1    22:20 | And how for the present we must walk 02Agat1    22:24 | shall strive to complete everything for the profit of your instruction 02Agat1    22:24 | are speaking about the deity. For we know that he is 02Agat1    22:27 | of Abraham, who was chosen for his piety and called the 02Agat1    22:32 | be placed in our mouth for us to indicate what is 02Agat1    22:32 | what is profitable.

For his whole body had become 02Agat3    3:6 | But blessed Gregory prayed for a brief while, begging from 02Agat3    3:6 | all-bountiful God not healing for the various torments but attention 02Agat3    3:9 | before him and to ask for healing - because the king had 02Agat3    3:9 | lost his natural human form for that ridiculous appearance, except for 02Agat3    3:9 | for that ridiculous appearance, except for the ability to speak and 02Agat3    3:10 | have been promised and prepared for the future, and that you 02Agat3    4:4 | also considered the martyrs’ love for their beloved creator, and what 02Agat3    4:4 | be the ineffable rewards prepared for them 02Agat3    4:8 | it divided like the firmament, for like valleys and mountain-tops 02Agat3    4:15 | of the column of light, for that one was higher than 02Agat3    4:32 | For behold the heavens have been 02Agat3    4:32 | the gates of Christ’s love [cf. Ps. 77.23; Tit. 3.4] for his creatures have been opened 02Agat3    4:33 | As for the sound of the voice 02Agat3    4:34 | that there be no impediment for men of this world to 02Agat3    4:35 | For the holy martyrs who were 02Agat3    4:35 | here have made a road for these Northern regions, since they 02Agat3    4:35 | gone up and made paths for others 02Agat3    4:41 | As for the golden base of the 02Agat3    4:44 | and a house of prayer [cf. Matt. 21.13] for the requests of all the 02Agat3    4:45 | and their endurance unto death. For they made their death the 02Agat3    4:46 | the columns appeared of cloud for this reason, because the cloud 02Agat3    4:48 | of the Lord and died for him. For they lived in 02Agat3    4:48 | Lord and died for him. For they lived in God and 02Agat3    4:49 | For they killed their earthly bodies 02Agat3    4:51 | other three represented the places for the chapels of repose of 02Agat3    4:51 | be built chapels of repose for their bones 02Agat3    4:56 | Godhead, of his essential height. For he is the head of 02Agat3    4:61 | because it will become salvation for many peoples through baptism 02Agat3    4:64 | And they appeared fiery for this reason, because the worship 02Agat3    4:68 | fountain of baptism will flow for the forgiveness and expiation of 02Agat3    4:70 | the preaching will be increased for a long time, and new 02Agat3    4:72 | priesthood, and will cause confusion for the people 02Agat3    4:75 | firm, be strong, be attentive.

Then he turned 02Agat3    7:5 | share in the blessed work for the saints, using his own 02Agat3    7:6 | And Gregory gave him measurements for the holy caskets, that he 02Agat3    7:6 | that he might dig places for each to repose in, and 02Agat3    7:9 | the boxes to dig trenches for places of rest for the 02Agat3    7:9 | trenches for places of rest for the saints inside the funerary 02Agat3    8:1 | dug out places of rest for the saints according to the 02Agat3    8:3 | order places of repose: first for saint Rhipsime, then for her 02Agat3    8:3 | first for saint Rhipsime, then for her thirty-two companions, in 02Agat3    8:3 | the place of repose readied for the holy and glorious altar 02Agat3    8:4 | Trdat prepared a place there for the blessed Gayane and her 02Agat3    8:5 | Ashxe’n, prepared places of repose for each of the saints with 02Agat3    8:6 | requested leave from saint Gregory for a seven-day journey so 02Agat3    8:8 | threshold, as though in exchange for the thoughtless battle he had 02Agat3    8:14 | been built as resting-places for the martyrs 02Agat3    8:19 | place designated and commanded us for the Lord’s house 02Agat3    8:22 | fear of God and love for and attention to God’s teachings 02Agat3    9:1 | the Lord may work healing for your injuries 02Agat3    9:2 | asceticism and in tears, begged for the king’s healing 02Agat3    9:9 | For the country, which previously had 02Agat3    9:12 | For the grace of the preaching 02Agat3    10:1 | an obstacle or stumbling block for anyone as they spiritually ascended 02Agat3    10:8 | to us, woe to us. For Jesus, the son of Mary 02Agat3    10:11 | For without rest, Jesus has made 02Agat3    10:16 | the Armenians he indicated sites for the house of God 02Agat3    10:18 | a guard and a refuge for all to worship 02Agat3    11:5 | the residents of that district, for the demons, assuming various forms 02Agat3    13:7 | indescribable.

For there is nothing impossible with 02Agat3    31:15 | For our sake he drank the 02Agat3    31:19 | doer but a commandment-giver. For one is the work of 02Agat3    31:21 | of the church, the guide for the road to God and 02Agat3    31:21 | the road to God and for the teaching in the holy 02Agat3    31:22 | Catholic church, and we look for the resurrection of the flesh 02Agat3    31:22 | the holy Trinity, now and for endless ages.

Why? I 03Buz4    54:39 | not accurately measuring, my size. For until now I was a 03Buz4    55:6 | The Iranians besieged the fortress for thirteen months, but were unable 03Buz4    55:6 | were unable to take it, for the place was very secure 03Buz4    55:16 | the fugitives at the fortress, for death was visited upon the 03Buz4    55:26 | For nine days and nine nights 03Buz4    55:32 | the flock, take the shepherd.

But as for the question of the hair 03Buz4    56:4 | justified in turning white first, for it was at least fifteen 03Buz4    56:7 | delighted and wanted to die for the name of God. Going 03Buz4    56:17 | had allowed him to talk for so long, and therefore they 03Buz4    57:8 | For he had pitched a tent 03Buz4    57:12 | fortresses and left them there. For if their husbands did not 03Buz4    57:13 | in the land as princes for them, with many troops. Authority 03Buz4    58:1 | Armenia the places of prayer for the Christians, in all parts 03Buz5    1:6 | blessed and great patriarch Nerses, for they knew that he was 03Buz5    1:6 | to pray and beseech God for the cultivation of the entire 03Buz5    1:7 | were of no small concern.

For Hayr had entered the fortress 03Buz5    3:3 | sent to the mardpet Hayr for him to come to him 03Buz5    4:4 | They were organized and prepared for battle 03Buz5    4:7 | the Armenians. It is appropriate for the Aryan brigade to go 03Buz5    4:10 | aware and be ready, Mushegh, for the king of Aghuania, Urhnayr 03Buz5    4:11 | many of them to live. For we will bind them and 03Buz5    4:11 | and masons [creating] what is useful for our cities, mansions, and whatever 03Buz5    4:21 | Do not be a mediator. For as soon as Mushegh descends 03Buz5    4:25 | he came and prostrated himself for the king.

Just as it is for a man, so it is 04Yegh2    1:11 | a man, so it is for the whole world 04Yegh2    1:12 | to give account not only for himself, but also for all 04Yegh2    1:12 | only for himself, but also for all those for whom he 04Yegh2    1:12 | but also for all those for whom he was the cause 04Yegh2    1:20 | fire and valiantly prepared themselves for the trial of his hidden 04Yegh2    1:22 | them with signs and miracles, for many of the heathen army 04Yegh2    2:26 | against the land of Armenia. For he saw that they were 04Yegh2    2:31 | his opponents waxed the greater— for he saw Christianity daily increasing 04Yegh2    2:37 | shall we repay the gods for this great victory, in which 04Yegh2    2:42 | but to block the way for those going from the East 04Yegh2    2:43 | I said secure and inescapable, for there was no place to 04Yegh2    2:48 | others he deceitfully left alone for a while, throwing the blame 04Yegh2    2:48 | a while, throwing the blame for all the harm on those 04Yegh2    2:50 | which had never been lawful for Christians to eat 04Yegh2    3:52 | sealed and carefully tied—some for two days, some for three 04Yegh2    3:52 | some for two days, some for three 04Yegh2    3:57 | But they, for love of Christ, bore all 04Yegh2    3:57 | all these fortunes very joyfully for the sake of the great 04Yegh2    3:57 | which is prepared in advance for those who keep the commandments 04Yegh2    3:59 | effect that it was better for a man to suffer even 04Yegh2    3:61 | that there might be revenge for all this in heaven 04Yegh2    3:64 | with soothing hypocrisy as if for the alleviation of taxes and 04Yegh2    3:73 | For where it was suitable to 04Yegh2    4:80 | For before heaven and earth existed 04Yegh2    4:80 | the great god Zrvan sacrificed for a thousand years and note 04Yegh2    4:87 | he gave him his rule for a thousand years 04Yegh2    4:94 | jealousy not even man has for man, let alone God for 04Yegh2    4:94 | for man, let alone God for men.

What 04Yegh2    5:104 | all the details in writing for you, because there are many 04Yegh2    5:107 | all creatures. This is shameful for you to say, and these 04Yegh2    5:108 | either answer this letter word for word, or come to court 04Yegh2    6:130 | divinely-instituted custom of praying for the life of the king 04Yegh2    6:130 | king and ceaselessly requesting God for long life for him, so 04Yegh2    6:130 | requesting God for long life for him, so that he may 04Yegh2    6:131 | your religion to you word for word 04Yegh2    6:134 | But as for our religion—it is not 04Yegh2    6:136 | and not through a mediator— for God is one and there 04Yegh2    6:140 | made a beginning of existence for his creatures, not from something 04Yegh2    6:140 | from something but from nothing. For he alone is “something” and 04Yegh2    6:149 | But as for your saying that because of 04Yegh2    7:153 | Now as for your having said that God 04Yegh2    7:153 | woman, it was not right for you to turn away or 04Yegh2    7:153 | away or flee from that; for behold Arhmn and Ormizd were 04Yegh2    7:155 | But if you set aside for a while the arrogance of 04Yegh2    7:156 | For when you hear that God 04Yegh2    7:159 | from earth and had acted for and by himself, he returned 04Yegh2    7:166 | were presumptuous enough to arise for one country, that country would 04Yegh2    7:168 | For if the elements were joined 04Yegh2    7:175 | Now if God cares thus for the irrational world, how much 04Yegh2    7:175 | much more does he care for the rational world—men 04Yegh2    8:176 | As for what one of your very 04Yegh2    8:179 | free in their own will, for they are rational. If they 04Yegh2    8:189 | For the demons do not lead 04Yegh2    8:189 | force, but they sweeten sins for man’s desires and by blandishments 04Yegh2    8:190 | of an evil one malevolent; for it is often the case 04Yegh2    8:191 | of two kinds derive—disastrous for some and munificent for others 04Yegh2    8:191 | disastrous for some and munificent for others 04Yegh2    8:192 | world, he who wishes life for everyone and not death 04Yegh2    8:196 | For this you will pay the 04Yegh2    9:207 | He moved among them for forty days, ascended from the 04Yegh2    9:211 | we shall not exchange you for another lord on earth, nor 04Yegh2    9:211 | in heaven shall we exchange for another god Jesus Christ—than 04Yegh2    9:215 | For if we were immortal and 04Yegh2    9:215 | immortal and it was possible for us to die for the 04Yegh2    9:215 | possible for us to die for the love of Christ, it 04Yegh2    9:216 | own will—shall willingly die for his love so that he 04Yegh2    9:217 | further questions after all this, for the covenant of our faith 04Yegh2    9:220 | Although they were frightened for awe of the government, yet 04Yegh2    9:225 | king: “What is the reason for this great dejection of yours 04Yegh2    9:225 | this great dejection of yours? For if the emperor does not 04Yegh2    10:241 | They made great haste for the sake of their brothers 04Yegh2    10:244 | affliction—who had steadfastly endured for the sake of Christ’s name 04Yegh2    10:246 | court under some distinguished general, for him (the shah) to send 04Yegh2    10:246 | he would greatly thank them for coming to him, and in 04Yegh2    11:253 | service, but perhaps more so for you than for your predecessors 04Yegh2    11:253 | more so for you than for your predecessors 04Yegh2    11:257 | us? Tell us the reasons for the maltreatment. Is our religion 04Yegh2    11:258 | and your valiant deeds useless. For you have ignorantly gone astray 04Yegh2    11:261 | say that again to us. For the church is not the 04Yegh2    11:266 | so. We are all ready for every contrivance of torments and 04Yegh2    12:278 | secretly had an indissoluble love for Christ, for he had been 04Yegh2    12:278 | an indissoluble love for Christ, for he had been baptized in 04Yegh2    12:279 | might save themselves from tribulation for a while 04Yegh2    12:291 | the truth could be changed for falsehood 04Yegh2    12:298 | For they had received a general 04Yegh2    13:303 | monasteries, shall change their garments for secular attire 04Yegh2    13:307 | Daughters shall be wives for fathers, and sisters for brothers 04Yegh2    13:307 | wives for fathers, and sisters for brothers. Mothers shall not withdraw 04Yegh2    13:312 | all that we have said for a period of time up 04Yegh3    1:2 | For behold, in the great Persian 04Yegh3    1:12 | you now become an altar for demons? You had put on 04Yegh3    1:14 | burned and seared with them? For them the undying worm is 04Yegh3    1:14 | your own bodies as food for it. The outer darkness is 04Yegh3    1:14 | darkness is being kept impenetrable for them; why did you, clothed 04Yegh3    1:19 | to you that heaven mourned for you and earth grieved beneath 04Yegh3    1:22 | For if a man had saved 04Yegh3    1:23 | sons are subject to punishment for their fathers’ sins, when the 04Yegh3    1:23 | and the same time answer for both their own and their 04Yegh3    1:24 | approached, we went to you for safety. But now that great 04Yegh3    2:26 | Up to the present, for the sake of your true 04Yegh3    2:27 | God’s fearful tribunal not only for yourselves but also for many 04Yegh3    2:27 | only for yourselves but also for many others whom they will 04Yegh3    2:43 | force, he did not wait for all the bishops, nor did 04Yegh3    2:43 | nor did he give way for a moment to the impious 04Yegh3    2:50 | In the matter for which he had come he 04Yegh3    2:50 | such a project as this. For even if the gods themselves 04Yegh3    2:50 | aid, it would be impossible for the religion of magism to 04Yegh3    3:51 | For even if the soldiers of 04Yegh3    3:52 | of tortures, have no reverence for wealth, and—what is the 04Yegh3    3:65 | for at the agitation of our 04Yegh3    3:70 | indissoluble covenant of this church. For it is one thing what 04Yegh3    3:70 | and another what he sees for sure with his own eyes 04Yegh3    3:73 | For at other times you were 04Yegh3    4:76 | For this land is a frontier 04Yegh3    4:81 | he increased his own forces for the support of the magi 04Yegh3    4:84 | again contrary to my suggestion. For if we use force against 04Yegh3    4:85 | no desire to heed him, for he had sincerely accepted the 04Yegh3    4:89 | even more fervent and animated for their union. With shrewd wisdom 04Yegh3    4:90 | And especially when they realized for certain that the impious prince 04Yegh3    4:91 | the army to the council for questioning and investigation, they realized 04Yegh3    4:91 | least failed in his love for Christ 04Yegh3    5:109 | arrested the marzpan he was for joining them with an oath 04Yegh3    5:114 | in thanks: “We are ready for persecution and death and every 04Yegh3    5:114 | and every affliction and torture for the sake of the holy 04Yegh3    5:115 | For we recognize the Holy Gospel 04Yegh3    5:118 | For all together put on the 04Yegh3    5:119 | away, no one took silver for himself, and without avarice they 04Yegh3    5:119 | disparaged the honorable garments worn for adornment and distinction 04Yegh3    5:122 | alive in us; it is for him easy to renew again 04Yegh3    6:132 | grace appeared over them all. For without orders from the Armenian 04Yegh3    6:134 | were accomplished through the soldiery. For where there was no expectation 04Yegh3    6:138 | and chief-magi as arbiters for the entire country 04Yegh3    6:141 | with them (the Persians) deceitfully for a while, so that they 04Yegh3    6:146 | For that reason, our ancestor Tiridates 04Yegh3    7:153 | the pact with the heathen for the sake of terrestrial peace 04Yegh3    7:153 | than to join in war for the Christian covenant 04Yegh3    7:156 | to die. It is easy for God to work through a 04Yegh3    8:179 | and equipped in total readiness for battle against the Armenian army 04Yegh3    8:183 | in the pride of vainglory for profitless exploits or with an 04Yegh3    8:183 | or with an avaricious greed for acquiring transitory grandeur do we 04Yegh3    8:184 | We are ready to die for love of you; but if 04Yegh3    8:193 | they threw out as carrion for the birds of heaven and 04Yegh3    8:195 | and of the general peasantry for the sake of God’s name 04Yegh3    9:206 | sang aloud: “Acknowledge the Lord, for he is good; for his 04Yegh3    9:206 | Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is eternal. He 04Yegh3    9:206 | nations and slain mighty princes. For he is good; for his 04Yegh3    9:206 | princes. For he is good; for his mercy is eternal 04Yegh3    9:208 | Their general himself took responsibility for the rear ranks; posting guards 04Yegh3    9:210 | advantage of night he fled for refuge into the secure areas 04Yegh3    9:211 | various provinces of the land for their winter quarters 04Yegh3    9:212 | to be ready and equipped for spring 04Yegh3    9:219 | of the shirkers, concurred: how for no reason and unjustly he 04Yegh3    9:219 | deceived the king by speaking for the Armenians that they would 04Yegh3    9:219 | that they would accept magism; for although no one had made 04Yegh3    9:222 | For such was the desire of 04Yegh3    9:222 | and body may be separated for a while, as can be 04Yegh3    9:222 | but such separation is impossible for those who have entered a 04Yegh3    9:224 | he threw all the blame for his enterprises on his counselors 04Yegh3    10:237 | the nobility, laying the blame for these faults on the chief 04Yegh3    10:239 | the reach of your will, for the gods have granted you 04Yegh3    10:243 | For those who had opposed him 04Yegh3    11:252 | a testimony of his sincerity for Armenia; and with an oath 04Yegh3    11:256 | Since he put the responsibility for the success of events on 04Yegh3    11:257 | brazen is his treacherous deceit! For after two and three attempts 04Yegh3    11:260 | For he who is himself wicked 04Yegh3    11:261 | For just as justice does not 04Yegh3    11:262 | true God, and we wait for him to come in the 04Yegh3    11:263 | witless; rather, we are ready for every test 04Yegh3    11:265 | For already East and West have 04Yegh3    11:273 | the city in careful preparation for his malicious plans 04Yegh4    1:1 | very many struck by us, for we were still united and 04Yegh4    1:4 | For when the limbs, which previously 04Yegh4    1:5 | if this is the case for a single person, how much 04Yegh4    1:5 | person, how much more so for a whole nation 04Yegh4    1:6 | our lament is not only for one nation but for many 04Yegh4    1:6 | only for one nation but for many nations and countries which 04Yegh4    1:7 | were the cause of destruction for many others, for some merely 04Yegh4    1:7 | of destruction for many others, for some merely of visible things 04Yegh4    1:7 | some merely of visible things, for others of things both visible 04Yegh4    1:16 | For he had forgotten the coming 04Yegh4    2:41 | the Greeks, falsely confusing matters for them; it was addressed to 04Yegh4    2:50 | brought him even more success, for no outside assistance at all 04Yegh4    2:50 | assistance at all was forthcoming for the Armenian army except from 04Yegh4    3:52 | For he did not give the 04Yegh4    3:52 | at all but sent summons for many troops to the Ghor 04Yegh4    3:65 | than sixty thousand, he asked for even more information about each 04Yegh5    1:0 | CHAPTER FIVE - For a Second Time the Armenians 04Yegh5    1:2 | with the love of God for a weapon shrank at nothing 04Yegh5    1:3 | accounted as death, and death for God’s sake as everlasting life 04Yegh5    1:3 | serve on earth as freedom for their lives, and they recognized 04Yegh5    1:6 | heart and encouraged his soldiers, for he had a firm hold 04Yegh5    1:10 | All these joined forces for war on the plain of 04Yegh5    1:10 | on the plain of Artaz for a muster of sixty-six 04Yegh5    1:12 | For these too had no hesitation 04Yegh5    1:12 | to be in no way for a material cause but for 04Yegh5    1:12 | for a material cause but for spiritual virtue, they desired to 04Yegh5    1:15 | But all these were for earthly distinction, as we fought 04Yegh5    1:16 | advanced bravely acquired a reputation for valor and received great gifts 04Yegh5    1:17 | of valor have been performed for which we received great rewards 04Yegh5    1:19 | accomplished these deeds of valor for a mortal commander, how much 04Yegh5    1:19 | much more will we do for our immortal king, who is 04Yegh5    1:22 | sword of a mortal man; for if the Lord puts victory 04Yegh5    1:24 | together against the impious prince for our ancestral and divinely-bestowed 04Yegh5    1:25 | it also be impossible that for the sake of human love 04Yegh5    1:25 | human love we exchange God for men 04Yegh5    2:30 | For the foundations of our Christianity 04Yegh5    2:34 | For if by slaughtering others for 04Yegh5    2:34 | For if by slaughtering others for the sake of the divine 04Yegh5    2:34 | religion we have gained glory for ourselves, and bequeathed the valiant 04Yegh5    2:34 | stems from the Lord, preserved for each one of us according 04Yegh5    2:34 | if we were to die for the great witness of our 04Yegh5    2:35 | these rewards are not appropriate for everyone but only for him 04Yegh5    2:35 | appropriate for everyone but only for him who is prepared by 04Yegh5    2:37 | For on the day when men 04Yegh5    2:41 | Behold the time has come for us to cast off every 04Yegh5    2:42 | in both respects at once, for we see the benevolent Lord 04Yegh5    2:47 | the records of valiant men, for he himself had been learned 04Yegh5    2:48 | against the king of Antioch for their God-given religion 04Yegh5    2:49 | For although they had been martyred 04Yegh5    2:50 | firmer and plunged into war for an extended period 04Yegh5    3:57 | a festival of great rejoicing for the Armenian army 04Yegh5    3:59 | Although he did this for many days, he was unable 04Yegh5    3:62 | For when the Evil One caused 04Yegh5    3:62 | were exposed to merciless condemnation for our sins of transgression which 04Yegh5    3:62 | unworthily committed in our desire for freedom. We brought upon ourselves 04Yegh5    3:63 | waters became instruments of torture for us, taking vengeance on our 04Yegh5    3:65 | accepted him as a model, for he saw in him a 04Yegh5    3:66 | fear to share Christ’s death; for with whom we die, with 04Yegh5    3:68 | For where the Holy Mystery waxed 04Yegh5    3:70 | the greatest of all prophets for slaughtering not only the outer 04Yegh5    3:70 | kin, who had exchanged God for the calf in the desert 04Yegh5    3:71 | afar he displayed such zeal for the coming of the Son 04Yegh5    3:71 | of his grace—be zealous for the recently revealed truth 04Yegh5    3:72 | down his life in death for our sins and absolved us 04Yegh5    3:72 | down our lives in death for his immortal power, lest we 04Yegh5    3:74 | offered two fifties as tinder for the unquenchable fire. Having sought 04Yegh5    3:75 | attained an even greater fate, for no longer is a chariot 04Yegh5    3:75 | a chariot sent from heaven for your ascension but the Lord 04Yegh5    4:76 | repeat before you valiant warriors, for you are more versed and 04Yegh5    4:78 | He was so called for the needs of the time 04Yegh5    4:82 | and were destroyed in requital for the just religion 04Yegh5    4:84 | up to today and forever, for age after age and beyond 04Yegh5    4:89 | For he who is truly united 04Yegh5    4:93 | For what miseries and anguish do 04Yegh5    4:99 | For if one part of the 04Yegh5    5:101 | they offer worship to creatures— for which sin there is no 04Yegh5    5:104 | For to those who were in 04Yegh5    5:106 | as the Lord himself did for the world. It seemed that 04Yegh5    5:107 | rank, like armed men ready for battle, wish to attack with 04Yegh5    5:110 | you have this double vision. For you see the torments of 04Yegh5    5:110 | was a cause of boasting for those above and those below 04Yegh5    6:136 | For who is able to describe 04Yegh5    6:137 | they resolutely attacked each other. For the dull-witted became mad 04Yegh5    6:145 | Nisalavurt saw this, he waited for the elephants of Artashir, who 04Yegh5    7:153 | For neither side was victorious and 04Yegh5    7:170 | of the most eminent nobility, for which reason Mushkan Nisalavurt was 04Yegh5    8:173 | For fear of the king he 04Yegh5    8:175 | as messengers to announce pardon for the insurrection, and he indicated 04Yegh6    1:4 | had fled to the castle for refuge, Bak by name, went 04Yegh6    1:12 | For the blessed ones had no 04Yegh6    1:12 | seeking to be a means for the prosperity of the whole 04Yegh6    1:14 | one’s own place with orders for the recovery and peace of 04Yegh6    1:16 | For even if our brave heroes 04Yegh6    1:16 | all their bodies became carrion for birds and food for animals 04Yegh6    1:16 | carrion for birds and food for animals, and our honorable nobles 04Yegh6    1:23 | Every man was a church for himself, was himself a priest 04Yegh6    1:24 | For none of them despairingly mourned 04Yegh6    2:29 | great patience their many tribulations for the love of Christ.

For he was the governing religious 04Yegh7    1:22 | For these are the five doctrines 04Yegh7    2:27 | tormented them in this way for forty days but had heard 04Yegh7    2:28 | to them. He did this for fifteen days 04Yegh7    2:29 | their prayers they would rest for a while in joyful gratitude 04Yegh7    2:31 | ordinary men without great power. For even if their bodies were 04Yegh7    2:32 | not remember any prisoner living for a month in this dungeon 04Yegh7    2:33 | you have received a command for their death and you kill 04Yegh7    2:38 | to them, it is impossible for a mere man to be 04Yegh7    2:41 | rose from each one’s pallet for the customary worship 04Yegh7    2:43 | Then for the second time he was 04Yegh7    2:44 | day dawned, like one ill for many days he arose and 04Yegh7    2:47 | quickly, do not be slow, for even we pleaded with him 04Yegh7    2:48 | wonderful mansions that are reserved for us in readiness from the 04Yegh7    2:48 | easily endure this great tribulation for the love of that hope 04Yegh7    2:49 | did well to have pity for the great tribulation of our 04Yegh7    2:50 | But we, for love of our Christ, greatly 04Yegh7    3:52 | would not bear to listen. For because of your inveterate blindness 04Yegh7    3:54 | But as for the comforts which you have 04Yegh7    3:55 | For if our God, who is 04Yegh7    3:55 | count as insignificant these torments for love of the recompense which 04Yegh7    3:56 | sleep departed from his eyes for many nights 04Yegh7    3:59 | called the bishop by name, for the latter knew Persian very 04Yegh7    3:66 | was the cause of death for many, you have now made 04Yegh7    3:66 | made the cause of life for us and himself 04Yegh7    3:67 | to your name give glory for your mercy and truth, so 04Yegh7    3:68 | shall I be shaken?’ For I truly know that henceforth 04Yegh7    3:68 | you, Lord of all, came for the life of all, that 04Yegh7    3:70 | many to their destruction; but for those for whom I was 04Yegh7    3:70 | their destruction; but for those for whom I was the cause 04Yegh7    4:77 | Behold, the time has come for these also to join our 04Yegh7    4:77 | also to join our company. For we have been waiting for 04Yegh7    4:77 | For we have been waiting for them and have brought them 04Yegh7    4:86 | Blessed is he for this holy vision, and blessed 04Yegh7    4:86 | vision, and blessed are we for his approaching us, because through 04Yegh7    4:86 | through him we have learned for sure that he to whom 04Yegh7    4:89 | creature of yours an intercessor for us; let not the ship 04Yegh7    4:90 | In such fashion they prayed for a long time, shedding abundant 04Yegh7    4:90 | shedding abundant and intense tears for their own selves 04Yegh7    4:91 | They entreated the Benefactor for mercy, that the voice of 04Yegh7    4:95 | out: “May this Baptism be for me a washing away of 04Yegh7    4:96 | them a table of food for the body, offered them a 04Yegh7    4:97 | he was in great anxiety for his family lest they be 04Yegh7    5:104 | was already a great thing for me to share today your 04Yegh7    5:108 | All rejoice in Christ, for by this time tomorrow we 04Yegh7    5:109 | In return for our small travail we shall 04Yegh7    5:110 | in receiving that same medal for the salvation of our souls 04Yegh7    5:112 | For behold, the enemy of our 04Yegh7    5:117 | Behold, for the sake of one sinner 04Yegh7    5:119 | Perhaps it was for my sake that the great 04Yegh7    5:119 | companions; he brought the crown for you but he gave the 04Yegh7    5:121 | my lords and fathers, pray for my unworthiness that I may 04Yegh7    6:126 | you and not be ashamed; for you compensate each according to 04Yegh7    6:129 | our common unity, become prey for the wicked beast 04Yegh7    6:139 | the chief-magus the reason for his being in bonds 04Yegh7    6:140 | counsels of light in darkness. For now, my eyes have been 04Yegh7    6:146 | what is worst of all for us, it was not some 04Yegh7    6:150 | was only a minor disgrace for us in the eyes of 04Yegh7    7:153 | to life in this world for those of another religion lest 04Yegh7    7:154 | For if they have made a 04Yegh7    7:158 | you were a teacher thereof for many 04Yegh7    7:160 | at naught, had no respect for persuasion, and wished the proceedings 04Yegh7    7:162 | appointed two colleagues as assistants for Denshapuh from among the senior 04Yegh7    8:179 | the king himself knew personally for his great knowledge of our 04Yegh7    8:179 | king did not have regard for his great honor, but like 04Yegh7    8:180 | less will he have regard for you foreigners who are guilty 04Yegh7    8:184 | as if we were children, for we are grown up and 04Yegh7    8:186 | fixed on us the blame for the ruin of our country 04Yegh7    8:186 | kingdom of heaven in return for this earthly one 04Yegh7    8:187 | render them devoted service, but for love of the king we 04Yegh7    8:188 | the power to change him for another lord, so in heaven 04Yegh7    8:188 | to change our true God for another, as there is no 04Yegh7    8:191 | would exchange a valuable pearl for a worthless bead, unless he 04Yegh7    8:193 | For the soldiers of our country 04Yegh7    8:194 | did not spare their blood for love of Christ, but slew 04Yegh7    8:195 | the joy and felicity prepared for them, which the blessed man 04Yegh7    8:198 | its rays and provides nourishment for men and beasts by its 04Yegh7    8:198 | and beasts by its warmth. For its even-handed liberality and 04Yegh7    8:198 | been named the god Mihr, for it has no deceit or 04Yegh7    8:200 | Have regard for your selves and do not 04Yegh7    9:201 | your present course, so that for your sake others too may 04Yegh7    9:205 | with the expense of providing for it 04Yegh7    9:209 | Now as for the sun, if you wish 04Yegh7    9:212 | mouth it pours it downward for the use and enjoyment of 04Yegh7    9:214 | this world have been established for the sake of our sustenance 04Yegh7    9:218 | that we shall do likewise; for the eyes of our minds 04Yegh7    10:227 | sinews cracked from the pressure. For a long time, he remained 04Yegh7    10:233 | had occasion to travel there for a year and six months 04Yegh7    10:233 | and even less about Yoseph; for he was the leader of 04Yegh7    10:236 | For if you are of the 04Yegh7    10:238 | and you appropriately honored us for these white hairs 04Yegh7    10:239 | complaint against any ordinary man for the sake of sordid material 04Yegh7    10:240 | As for this man’s seduction of which 04Yegh7    10:244 | more so are we all. For there is no one at 04Yegh7    10:245 | continuing this debate with you for so long, but I am 04Yegh7    10:245 | out of my own kindness. For I am not inhuman like 04Yegh7    10:246 | I have compassion and love for your land 04Yegh7    10:247 | Whoever has compassion and love for foreigners is fulfilling God’s commandments 04Yegh7    10:247 | look to his own soul; for we are not masters of 04Yegh7    10:247 | seek accounting from us both for foreigners and for our countrymen 04Yegh7    10:247 | us both for foreigners and for our countrymen 04Yegh7    10:248 | Now as for your saying that I am 04Yegh7    10:248 | king’s commands, you do well, for he is a ravager of 04Yegh7    10:249 | to exchange our eternal life for the corruptible illusions of this 04Yegh7    10:250 | But as for your saying of me that 04Yegh7    11:254 | are men. There are illnesses for which they find cures, and 04Yegh7    11:254 | those which surpass their capacities. For we are all mortal, both 04Yegh7    11:256 | For when they see someone ill 04Yegh7    11:259 | much more is it right for you—who hold in your 04Yegh7    11:260 | made your immortal souls mortal for the unquenchable fire of hell 04Yegh7    11:260 | disease. Yet you blame us for bodily pains which are not 04Yegh7    11:269 | did not recognize as respect for your person 04Yegh7    12:276 | since you have so learned for sure, why do you question 04Yegh7    12:278 | but your real desire is for my blood 04Yegh7    12:279 | beast, but I seek vengeance for the gods’ dishonor 04Yegh7    12:283 | who can kill the fire? For the all-wise Creator of 04Yegh7    12:287 | the warmth of the sun, for it has a portion of 04Yegh7    12:290 | are more knowledgeable than you. For although they have strayed from 04Yegh7    13:304 | do you question us merely for the sake of hearing? Look 04Yegh7    13:305 | magi, I greatly pitied them, for in their ignorance they spoke 04Yegh7    13:307 | the king and the disrespect for his religion 04Yegh7    13:308 | suspicion be thrown upon himself for those insults because he had 04Yegh7    13:311 | the eyes of the body for a moment and you will 04Yegh7    13:316 | saying: “Take courage, my friends; for behold you have forgotten your 04Yegh7    13:317 | For the material has been prepared 04Yegh7    13:319 | but that a general order for their death had been given 04Yegh7    13:319 | Yoseph: “Approach, confront the sword, for you are superior in rank 04Yegh7    14:333 | For these six saints martyred there 04Yegh7    14:333 | saints in that very spot for ten days or more until 04Yegh7    14:334 | was waiting on the lookout for some way in which he 04Yegh7    14:337 | For the whole night awful voices 04Yegh7    14:341 | inexplicable sect of the Christians? For while they are alive, their 04Yegh7    14:344 | For our servants are not liars 04Yegh7    14:347 | there may occur some ruin for our religion 04Yegh7    14:349 | king, that investigation will be for us magi. Do not worry 04Yegh7    14:350 | very early in the morning. For tomorrow the high Movpetan movpet 04Yegh7    15:354 | of death passing them by— for edicts of amnesty had been 04Yegh7    15:356 | placed with each one’s bones, for the executioners had thrown them 04Yegh8    1:2 | city five Christians from Asorestan, for they too were in bonds 04Yegh8    1:2 | they too were in bonds for the name of Christ. He 04Yegh8    1:9 | For we have a command from 04Yegh8    1:11 | and were condemned to death for their deeds, you should not 04Yegh8    1:15 | But in return for not doing that, untoward consequences 04Yegh8    1:17 | respects yet you killed them for no reason and unjustly, so 04Yegh8    1:23 | So, it is not right for you to escape death unless 04Yegh8    2:31 | you, reckon ours doubly so; for they gave orders in words 04Yegh8    2:33 | For each of them six of 04Yegh8    2:36 | For behold our ears have received 04Yegh8    2:37 | our noses by removing them. For as much as you render 04Yegh8    2:50 | in distant exile by caring for their bodily needs 04Yegh8    3:60 | who gave themselves to death for our sake and spilled their 04Yegh8    3:63 | For we are extremely anxious, not 04Yegh8    3:63 | are extremely anxious, not merely for our bodily wants, but more 04Yegh8    3:64 | that God will also open for us the door of his 04Yegh8    3:70 | For behold we see figured in 04Yegh8    3:73 | You have opened the path for those who are longing to 04Yegh8    3:74 | also in heaven the gate for our prayers, so that the 04Yegh8    3:74 | enter before God in intercession for those same prisoners. And while 04Yegh8    4:76 | to approach anyone at all for any bodily need; but he 04Yegh8    4:76 | bodily need; but he chose for himself a place away from 04Yegh8    4:78 | For if you were to mention 04Yegh8    4:81 | He was salt for the insipid and a spurring 04Yegh8    4:81 | insipid and a spurring goad for the sluggish 04Yegh8    4:83 | was a source of healing for Armenia, and many who were 04Yegh8    4:84 | He was a perfect instructor for his teachers, and a holy 04Yegh8    4:84 | and a holy advising father for his fathers 04Yegh8    4:88 | The Greeks blessed Armenia for his sake, and many barbarians 04Yegh8    4:91 | corruptible matters of this world for bodily needs 04Yegh8    4:92 | the needs of the body for necessary spiritual things, so he 04Yegh9    1:1 | Who for the Love of Christ Gave 04Yegh9    1:20 | like animals on the ground for nine years and six months 04Yegh9    2:30 | began to form an affection for them as with ones loved 04Yegh9    2:32 | For although he had been removed 04Yegh9    2:32 | many counts—he bore responsibility for the ruin of Armenia, for 04Yegh9    2:32 | for the ruin of Armenia, for which he was dismissed to 04Yegh9    2:33 | their native land; this was for them spiritual food with which 04Yegh9    2:35 | For although they had passed the 04Yegh9    2:42 | princely rank. He established allowances for them and ordered arms to 04Yegh9    2:47 | country practicing the Christian religion for which they had been greatly 04Yegh9    2:49 | opposed each other and fought for power; for two years bitter 04Yegh9    2:49 | other and fought for power; for two years bitter warfare raged 04Yegh9    3:56 | by messages he blamed them for the pointless devastation of Armenia 04Yegh9    3:58 | In return for so much devotion and service 04Yegh9    3:59 | It would be better for me to endure their tortures 04Yegh9    3:60 | force of Huns, and warred for a year with the Albanian 04Yegh9    3:63 | and my niece sent out, for they were originally magi and 04Yegh9    3:64 | wonderful man was not fighting for power but for piety 04Yegh9    3:64 | not fighting for power but for piety 04Yegh9    3:66 | regret and placed the blame for all the harm on his 04Yegh9    3:68 | the property of his youth, for when he was young his 04Yegh9    3:70 | of kings, were the reason for the Armenian nobles not being 04Yegh9    3:73 | As for the wives of the blessed 04Yegh9    3:73 | throughout the land of Armenia, for there are many more whom 04Yegh9    4:76 | For if some were older and 04Yegh9    4:79 | For although they each had their 04Yegh9    4:80 | No one made another’s bed, for they did not distinguish one’s 04Yegh9    4:81 | They had no confectioners for individual delicacies nor separate bakers 04Yegh9    4:83 | nor were they offered oil for merry feasting 04Yegh9    4:84 | set before them, nor plates for jollity. No butler stood at 04Yegh9    4:85 | houses were destroyed; the vessels for their banquets were broken. Their 04Yegh9    4:87 | remained no ornaments at all for their faces 04Yegh9    4:90 | bodies turned black in color, for by day they were burned 04Yegh9    4:96 | pious supplications brought down angels for salvation. From afar they heard 04Yegh9    4:98 | from afar became consoling teachers for the imprisoned 04Yegh9    4:99 | had it brought to them for consolation 05Parp1    1:5 | For we recalled the threatening of 05Parp1    1:6 | gave their lives in martyrdom for the covenant of the holy 05Parp1    1:6 | others withstood shackles and prison for a long time out of 05Parp1    1:7 | shepherds who shed their blood for the chosen rational flock of 05Parp1    1:7 | covenant of holiness becoming tinder for the inextinguishable eternal fire which 05Parp1    2:1 | son of Sasan; Xosrov’s desire for revenge and the anxiety of 05Parp1    2:1 | plan and promise of reward for whomever could find a means 05Parp1    2:3 | him filled with the desire for voluntary service; the tribulations of 05Parp1    2:4 | High, which kept this hero for work in Armenia; the arrival 05Parp1    3:1 | away caused harm and ruin for themselves and the land 05Parp1    3:4 | to him, he urgently sought for the Cross, hurriedly sending his 05Parp1    3:6 | because of the island’s advantages.

When each man reached 05Parp2    9:1 | displays are false and fraudulent. For he has a secret oath 05Parp2    9:5 | because there was such enthusiasm for deposing (Xosrov) that (Shapuh) did 05Parp2    10:0 | scribes, as a royal scribe. For in that period the royal 05Parp2    10:1 | For years he served there properly 05Parp2    10:1 | then he began to long for the monastic life.

(Mashtoc’ 05Parp2    10:9 | and I shall correct it, for what you propose to do 05Parp2    10:10 | first it would be worthwhile for us to make the king 05Parp2    10:10 | the king feel the need for such a great and important 05Parp2    10:10 | the issue of the need for such a thing, and told 05Parp2    10:12 | a great and useful device for the land of Armenia during 05Parp2    10:12 | Armenia during your own reign, for it will benefit you later 05Parp2    10:20 | For ( this group) was not able 05Parp2    10:21 | teach the multitude of clerics.

Indeed, truthful God ordained for those who make requests loyally 05Parp2    13:23 | Artashes] before a believing king for reprimand, I might make bold 05Parp2    13:32 | For the curse of that holy 05Parp2    13:33 | as patriarch over our land for long 05Parp2    13:34 | the venerable patriarch Sahak again. For the curse of the venerable 05Parp2    14:6 | to implement this wicked deed. For they have always changed their 05Parp2    14:7 | summoned into his presence alone. For he exalted him first, because 05Parp2    14:8 | me anything about that matter, for you will hear nothing from 05Parp2    14:11 | I want what is good for you. It is not lightly 05Parp2    14:12 | persuade the blessed patriarch Sahak. For they wanted to do away 05Parp2    14:13 | trial and contempt by you. For though according to our holy 05Parp2    14:16 | need is there any more for a king? Rather, let an 05Parp2    14:20 | took from the Ismaelite merchants for him, so for betraying, a 05Parp2    14:20 | Ismaelite merchants for him, so for betraying, a price was paid 05Parp2    15:6 | water which had been used for washing, and you will weaken 05Parp2    16:5 | erroneous teaching (of the Syrians].

Gen. 5:24]. The cause for this we shall set out 06Khor1    4:28 | For he well said “from our 06Khor1    5:6 | Sem lived for [100] years, and two years after 06Khor1    5:42 | For Mestrayim is Metsrayim, which means 06Khor1    5:43 | and Ninos and our Aram. For Ara is the twelfth after 06Khor1    5:47 | a witness to these matters, for he says in one chapter 06Khor1    5:48 | that he was Bēl himself, for neither the genealogy nor the 06Khor1    5:49 | perhaps someone thought it suitable, for the sake of becoming renowned 06Khor1    5:50 | the literature of the Greeks; for although the Greeks themselves translated 06Khor1    6:4 | But if you are grateful for our vigils and efforts, O 06Khor1    6:4 | according to his whim, or for some other reason 06Khor1    6:5 | But as for the beginning i.e. Creation 06Khor1    6:5 | the truth, sometimes they lie. For example, just as they call 06Khor1    6:10 | about him, which are inapposite for us to repeat now 06Khor1    6:11 | him, waging war against him, for he was planning to make 06Khor1    6:17 | For Epiphanius, bishop of Constantia in 06Khor1    6:20 | But as for certain old unwritten tales that 06Khor1    6:23 | he lingered by the river for two months and called the 06Khor1    6:24 | where he had dwelt Ts’rawnk’, for there the dispersion of his 06Khor1    6:25 | Tarban again, they say, dwelt for a few days on the 06Khor1    6:26 | For the eastern regions call Sem 06Khor1    6:27 | these things in the ballads for the lyre and their songs 06Khor1    6:29 | the sincerity of my regard for you 06Khor1    7:3 | For they say that Hephaistos was 06Khor1    7:7 | For if we were to try 06Khor1    7:7 | up to our own time for your edification, when would we 06Khor1    7:7 | us is long, and time for mortals is short and uncertain 06Khor1    8:4 | your mind and valour extend. For the frontiers of the brave 06Khor1    8:6 | gifts, asking him to open for him the royal archives 06Khor1    9:5 | For the orders of rank here 06Khor1    9:5 | uncertain, as are the cults for the temples. It is not 06Khor1    9:6 | royal archives to be opened for this man who has appeared 06Khor1    9:6 | be a source of delight for you 06Khor1    9:14 | tales and repeat them now for your curiosity, extending our ancestral 06Khor1    9:16 | the cause of great blessings for the earth-the origin of 06Khor1    9:19 | this account should stop here, for it is our proposal not 06Khor1    10:7 | he built there a residence for the property and gave it 06Khor1    11:18 | his sons on his left, for they were powerful men with 06Khor1    11:21 | from which he had descended, for he thought he would be 06Khor1    11:25 | on account of his victory; for that reason, the district is 06Khor1    12:12 | one of our countrymen said, for a well-girded man to 06Khor1    12:21 | half a long day’s journey for a man on foot 06Khor1    13:3 | thought it better to die for his father land than to 06Khor1    13:4 | and handsome, spirited and ready for war, about fifty thousand men 06Khor1    13:6 | Kushans, and he controlled them for two years 06Khor1    13:8 | about him from stories. And for long years he planned to 06Khor1    13:10 | But let this much suffice, for the task before us does 06Khor1    14:5 | his many valiant exploits and for a long time worshipped him 06Khor1    14:6 | the Assyrian plain to taxes for a long time 06Khor1    14:16 | the prime and true reason for calling the western part of 06Khor1    14:21 | object of boasting or glorying for them 06Khor1    15:3 | the dissolute and lascivious Semiramis for many years had heard of 06Khor1    15:6 | him to fulfill her desires. For in the folly of her 06Khor1    15:13 | sorcery, being demented by desire for her darling 06Khor1    16:7 | First she ordered the aqueduct for the river to be built 06Khor1    16:8 | of the region entrench themselves for brigandage and hidden refuge, as 06Khor1    16:9 | aqueduct even a stone suitable for a sling, no matter how 06Khor1    16:11 | it to the place designated for the city 06Khor1    16:14 | she built some charming baths for people’s needs, with admirable art 06Khor1    16:15 | to serve every necessity and for the irrigation of the parks 06Khor1    16:18 | As for the summit of the city 06Khor1    17:2 | as her governor and prefect for Assyria and Nineveh Zoroaster, the 06Khor1    17:4 | often reproached by her sons for her exceedingly lascivious and obscene 06Khor1    17:5 | and treasures, having no concern for her own sons 06Khor1    17:11 | There Ninuas found an opportunity for vengeance and killed his mother 06Khor1    18:2 | chance to laugh at me. For he speaks among many other 06Khor1    18:3 | us more reliable than this, for he writes systematically and reveals 06Khor1    18:4 | foot, her thirst and desire for water, and her drinking; and 06Khor1    19:5 | I shall begin to expound for you from the history “Web 06Khor1    19:6 | is, Ninuas, we can know for certain the order of events 06Khor1    20:9 | the preeminence of the men, for they all descend from Abraham 06Khor1    20:10 | from him to Agras, sailing for T’arsis. This is clear from 06Khor1    20:12 | And we have discovered for a certain fact that the 06Khor1    21:2 | account of her former passion for the handsome Ara; he was 06Khor1    21:5 | For he had been dedicated to 06Khor1    21:5 | of the wind was used for divination in the land of 06Khor1    21:5 | of the Armenians, and that for a long time 06Khor1    21:6 | Anushavan, having endured Zamesia’s scorn for a long time, was embittered 06Khor1    22:5 | Therefore it is right for us now to set to 06Khor1    22:5 | many adventures. As the basis for such matters we considered it 06Khor1    22:8 | Thus, he seized the kingdom for himself from Sardanapalos and ruled 06Khor1    22:9 | Leaving others as governors for Assyria, he transferred the royal 06Khor1    22:11 | For just as in the earlier 06Khor1    22:12 | For the deeds of the father 06Khor1    23:3 | For these men descended from our 06Khor1    23:4 | dear it would have been for me if the Savior had 06Khor1    23:22 | say that he asked Nebuchadnezzar for one of the captive Hebrew 06Khor1    23:23 | were, who lost their lives for worshipping Gog, we shall later 06Khor1    23:24 | For some unreliable men say, out 06Khor1    23:25 | that might indicate the truth. For they are disordered babblings of 06Khor1    23:34 | For I say that the later 06Khor1    24:2 | recount what is most important for the coherence of our work 06Khor1    24:8 | This is the reason for our remembering Senek’erim 06Khor1    25:3 | for he, of all our kings 06Khor1    25:4 | Greeks into subjection to himself for no little time 06Khor1    25:7 | brocades of various colors, both for men and women, with the 06Khor1    25:16 | For the latter note: “Through such 06Khor1    25:17 | For he Tigran was an object 06Khor1    27:3 | For that reason, and from the 06Khor1    27:4 | not wait according to custom for the hour of the council 06Khor1    27:5 | reason, he delayed his response for some hours. At last with 06Khor1    27:7 | As I gazed for a long time at the 06Khor1    27:8 | As I looked for a long time in amazement 06Khor1    27:14 | with other arms, we fought for several hours 06Khor1    27:15 | But what advantage is there for me to prolong the story 06Khor1    27:15 | me to prolong the story? For the end of the matter 06Khor1    28:3 | For nothing brings greater advantage, when 06Khor1    28:3 | to know his plans, than for some-one through the pretense 06Khor1    28:5 | my plan and the bait for the trap is the most 06Khor1    28:6 | For she has such extensive connections 06Khor1    29:2 | truly wise and powerful ones. For thus troubles from outside do 06Khor1    29:7 | mission concerning the beautiful maiden, for Tigran agreed and gave his 06Khor1    30:5 | useful advice and take heed for the present situation 06Khor1    30:8 | borders of their two realms for mutual discussions, as if some 06Khor1    30:14 | The struggle lasted for five full months, since swift 06Khor1    30:17 | the beauty of his frame, for he was vigorous and adept 06Khor1    30:19 | The combat was magnificent, for heroes were facing heroes, and 06Khor1    31:10 | did not find a place for his palace when Artashat was 06Khor1    31:11 | queen Sat’inik had great desire for the vegetable artakhur and the 06Khor1    32:2 | and may it so be for you too, O reader; as 06Khor1    32:3 | Therefore I like to name for their valor, in this order 06Khor1    32:3 | this order, Hayk, Aram, Tigran. For the descendants of heroes are 06Khor1    32:3 | heroes are heroes; but as for those of second rank, let 06Khor1    32:6 | and encouragement of Cyrus seized for himself the empire of the 06Khor1    32:7 | ran out. He had fire for hair, and had flame for 06Khor1    32:7 | for hair, and had flame for beard, and his eyes were 06Khor1    32:15 | very accurate to tell you, for there was confusion caused by 06Khor1    32:15 | and men rivaled each other for the control of our country 06Khor1    33:2 | things deriving from your desire for knowledge that have imposed great 06Khor1    33:4 | For although He who created everything 06Khor1    33:4 | and ranks among the creatures. For some are creatures of the 06Khor1    33:6 | that everything must be told for you truly and accurately and 06Khor1    34:2 | why do you trouble us for those absurd and incoherent Persian 06Khor1    34:2 | and incoherent Persian stories, notorious for their imbecility? His first benevolence 06Khor1    34:2 | evil, the consuming of men for the needs of his stomach 06Khor1    34:7 | us to explain the reason for their irrationality and to embellish 06Khor1    34:13 | to the other impossibilities, which for your sake we made possible 06Khor1    34:14 | undertaking is hateful to us, for we did not speak of 06Khor1    34:23 | evil - but this proved impossible for him. As we said above 06Khor1    34:23 | him. As we said above, for the sake of deceiving the 06Khor1    34:24 | For such teaching he resorted to 06Khor1    34:26 | As for the birth of dragons, or 06Khor2    1:2 | I shall now describe for you as a second book 06Khor2    1:4 | for what has been said about 06Khor2    1:6 | in a great war, and for this reason was called Nicanor 06Khor2    1:7 | He ruled for thirty-one years and left 06Khor2    1:7 | Antiochus, called Soter, who reigned for nineteen years 06Khor2    1:8 | Antiochus, called Theos, who reigned for ten years. And in the 06Khor2    1:9 | of the descendants of K’etura, for the fulfilment of the saying 06Khor2    2:3 | very fierce wars and seized for himself the entire east 06Khor2    2:7 | Thus he reigned for thirty-one years, and after 06Khor2    2:7 | after him his son Artashēs for twenty-six years 06Khor2    2:8 | Demetrius and Demetrius’ son Antigon, for this last had attacked him 06Khor2    3:3 | the statutes of civil life for this country. He instituted principalities 06Khor2    3:4 | First and foremost, he compensated for his benefits the powerful and 06Khor2    3:4 | by giving him the right for his family to be the 06Khor2    3:4 | coronants of the Arsacids, and for the family descended from him 06Khor2    3:5 | For this Bagarat had voluntarily offered 06Khor2    4:3 | days, as we must admit, for they were quite unaware of 06Khor2    4:7 | both sides fortified their positions for many days 06Khor2    5:2 | sides had fortified their positions for many days, they engaged in 06Khor2    5:4 | succeeded in hurling his javelin; for he was powerful and a 06Khor2    6:2 | a temperate and delightful climate for his royal resort. He prepared 06Khor2    6:2 | royal resort. He prepared arbors for the summer season when he 06Khor2    6:3 | climate he used as parks for vineyards and gardens 06Khor2    6:4 | this beloved and famous man; for I have continued my account 06Khor2    6:4 | the bonds of my admiration for this wonderful man 06Khor2    7:5 | recompensed the Jew called Bagarat for his previously rendered services to 06Khor2    7:6 | Gnt’uni. I do not know for what reason 06Khor2    7:16 | the Spanduni over the animals for sacrifice, and the Havuni as 06Khor2    7:17 | you will not hold me for a praetor, the Dziwnakan were 06Khor2    8:7 | of his mode of life; for they called him aḷu 06Khor2    8:21 | what is this to you? For truly he was extremely powerful 06Khor2    8:24 | I am unable to say for certain whether he descended from 06Khor2    8:27 | of their own will asked for the ministry of the temples 06Khor2    8:31 | The same he did for the Korduats’i, the Andzevats’i, and 06Khor2    8:32 | But as for the Ṙshtuni and the Goḷt’nets’i 06Khor2    8:32 | if they called the provinces for these men’s names or whether 06Khor2    8:36 | fixed rules, distinguishing the times for audiences, councils, feasts, and amusements 06Khor2    8:41 | to live on brotherly terms for the sake of harmony and 06Khor2    8:43 | did he keep with him for reasons of state, and the 06Khor2    8:43 | named Artashēs and loved dearly. For he was truly a spirited 06Khor2    8:45 | died in Nisibis after reigning for twenty-two years 06Khor2    9:2 | of Vaḷarshak, ruled over Armenia for thirteen years. A zealous follower 06Khor2    9:3 | For a long time the inhabitants 06Khor2    9:5 | to our land and settled for a long time below Koi 06Khor2    9:6 | bravely died by the sword for their ancestral customs. I am 06Khor2    9:7 | when they would be born - for they were unmarried 06Khor2    10:1 | On the source for this history after the books 06Khor2    10:2 | We shall begin our narrative for you from the fifth book 06Khor2    10:3 | For he transcribed everything from the 06Khor2    10:4 | Let no one doubt this, for we have seen that archive 06Khor2    11:3 | for he was a proud man 06Khor2    11:4 | He gave his son Tigran for instruction to a youth called 06Khor2    11:4 | Gaṙnik, a descendant of Geḷam, for he was a youth famous 06Khor2    11:4 | he was a youth famous for his prowess in archery 06Khor2    12:8 | own army. He had reigned for twenty-five years 06Khor2    13:7 | follows: “Artashēs the Parthian is for me superior to Alexander the 06Khor2    13:8 | Alas for his fate! If only he 06Khor2    13:9 | compared to that of Artashēs. For the light of day was 06Khor2    13:11 | did not swell the river, for by the drinking of his 06Khor2    13:11 | so that there was need for measurement rather than counting 06Khor2    13:12 | boastful, but wept, saying: ’Alas for this transitory glory.’ 06Khor2    13:14 | others, but he broke himself. For the Parthian Artashēs captured him 06Khor2    14:7 | to penetrate deep into Armenia. For an excuse they feigned omens 06Khor2    14:11 | one of them, called Asud, for dishonoring the images; but he 06Khor2    14:11 | them in any other way, for they agreed to eat meat 06Khor2    14:14 | from Cleopatra daughter of Ptolemy for the crimes of her son 06Khor2    14:17 | For he had heard a report 06Khor2    15:3 | but did not meet Tigran, for the latter had returned to 06Khor2    16:2 | mountain, and having observed mourning for Mithridates, marched to Syria against 06Khor2    19:3 | received from him an army for his support 06Khor2    19:14 | change it would be impossible for him to hold the high 06Khor2    19:14 | to hold the high priesthood, for the law stipulates that only 06Khor2    19:20 | before he died, having reigned for thirty-three years 06Khor2    21:2 | in the attack on Antigonus for Jerusalem, he himself went for 06Khor2    21:2 | for Jerusalem, he himself went for winter quarters to Egypt 06Khor2    21:3 | sensuous man, burning with desire for Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt 06Khor2    21:4 | a dear friend of Herod’s. For that reason, Antony especially, commended 06Khor2    22:3 | of Aḷiovit and Aṙberan, leaving for them the royal portion in 06Khor2    22:5 | blamed by his own troops for his excessive sloth and great 06Khor2    23:2 | Cleopatra because she nourished rancor for the ill treatment inflicted on 06Khor2    23:2 | by Tigran. And not only for the Armenians but for many 06Khor2    23:2 | only for the Armenians but for many other kings, she was 06Khor2    23:3 | For that reason Antony killed many 06Khor2    23:3 | their dominions to Cleopatra, except for Tyre and Sidon and all 06Khor2    24:4 | Romans. He parleyed with them for a peace treaty, giving tribute 06Khor2    24:5 | This was the beginning for part of Armenia to become 06Khor2    24:8 | Arsham fixed a set term for him 06Khor2    24:9 | might give him the money for his ransom 06Khor2    24:14 | to the high priest Hyrcanus for the same purpose, but he 06Khor2    25:4 | He asked Arsham for a multitude of unskilled workers 06Khor2    25:9 | Arsham died after ruling for twenty years 06Khor2    26:3 | kindness and wisdom and, later, for his years. And since the 06Khor2    26:5 | For a command went out from 06Khor2    26:8 | for Herod commanded his own image 06Khor2    26:8 | this, Herod sought a pretext for war against him 06Khor2    26:9 | and Germans on a foray for plunder into Persia and commanded 06Khor2    27:3 | embittered, planned revolt, and prepared for war 06Khor2    27:6 | order that we have adopted for our account, yet because it 06Khor2    27:6 | conversion of our Armenian nation, for the sake of honoring these 06Khor2    27:8 | to revolt did not succeed, for a quarrel arose among his 06Khor2    28:2 | and his brothers opposing him; for he planned to rule over 06Khor2    28:4 | For King Arshavir had had three 06Khor2    29:3 | the Roman procurators the reasons for his going to Persia and 06Khor2    29:5 | support through Khosran, an Artsruni, for the struggle against Herod 06Khor2    29:6 | For Herod had first taken King 06Khor2    29:6 | her husband in his lifetime. For this he was repeatedly blamed 06Khor2    30:2 | inform him of the reason for Abgar’s going to the east 06Khor2    30:6 | not a man’s but God’s. For there is no man who 06Khor2    31:3 | you without medicines or drugs. For, as is said, you cause 06Khor2    31:6 | city, and it is sufficient for us both 06Khor2    32:2 | me without having seen me. For thus it is written concerning 06Khor2    32:3 | Now as for your writing to me that 06Khor2    32:3 | I must fulfill here everything for which I was sent 06Khor2    33:6 | standing around him were astonished, for they had not perceived the 06Khor2    33:9 | Him and in his Father. For that reason, I wished to 06Khor2    33:18 | For the Jews who live in 06Khor2    33:20 | For at the time when they 06Khor2    33:26 | has been read before me, for which please accept my thanks 06Khor2    33:31 | And as for the people of the Jews 06Khor2    33:34 | your senate is most ridiculous. For according to them it is 06Khor2    33:35 | this reasoning it is right for men to pardon God 06Khor2    33:43 | But as for your writing to me ’send 06Khor2    33:52 | For it is pleasing to me 06Khor2    33:53 | letters Abgar died, having reigned for thirty-eight years 06Khor2    34:2 | kingdom was divided into two, for his son Ananun was crowned 06Khor2    34:3 | conversion of Sanatruk, his apostasy for fear of the Armenian princes 06Khor2    34:7 | Addē that he should make for him a tiara of silk 06Khor2    34:7 | he previously used to make for his father 06Khor2    34:8 | will not make a tiara for an unworthy head that does 06Khor2    34:13 | But as for Simon, who drew Persia as 06Khor2    34:13 | lot, I can say nothing for certain about what he did 06Khor2    34:14 | and what was the reason for his coming there, I do 06Khor2    35:4 | For he had a marble pillar 06Khor2    35:5 | the city to Sanatruk, asking for a pact that provided he 06Khor2    35:7 | of all Mesopotamia in return for the benefits that he had 06Khor2    36:6 | Khosren Artsruni, took the child - for he was an infant - and 06Khor2    36:6 | bosom, remaining under the snow for three days and three nights 06Khor2    36:8 | dog, sent out to search for them, found the child and 06Khor2    36:10 | of Persia, and after living for thirty years died in the 06Khor2    36:10 | arrow as if in revenge for the torments he inflicted on 06Khor2    37:3 | for a certain Eruand, son of 06Khor2    37:13 | men went out to search for the young Artashēs 06Khor2    37:14 | scouts. Therefore he, Smbat, wandered for a long time on foot 06Khor2    38:2 | sleep no longer was sweet for him 06Khor2    38:11 | manner and established their treasuries for the taxes collected from Armenia 06Khor2    38:12 | set up two schools, one for the native tongue of its 06Khor2    38:12 | its inhabitants, Syriac, the other for Greek. They also transferred there 06Khor2    39:2 | from the hill called Armavir, for the River Araxes had shifted 06Khor2    39:2 | was no longer sufficient water for the capital 06Khor2    39:4 | the conduit and was available for drinking 06Khor2    39:6 | day, while the other was for the assassins who operate at 06Khor2    42:2 | It is pleasant for me to speak also about 06Khor2    44:1 | of an army to prepare for war 06Khor2    44:5 | For Eruand had restored to him 06Khor2    46:3 | watch on Argam the Muratsean, for he was a valiant man 06Khor2    46:18 | skins and linen; he encamped for that night in his tent 06Khor2    46:20 | He himself set out for Eruand’s capital and arrived at 06Khor2    46:21 | place. That is the reason for the naming of the town 06Khor2    46:24 | died, having held the throne for twenty years 06Khor2    47:4 | crown decorated with sapphires, rings for both ears, a red slipper 06Khor2    47:4 | both ears, a red slipper for the one foot, the right 06Khor2    47:5 | on his tutor Smbat except for the two earrings and the 06Khor2    47:6 | heroic exploits of his father. For as we have said, half 06Khor2    47:6 | cut off by a sword for the cause of Artashēs 06Khor2    47:7 | done from the king’s house for Smbat; for he was a 06Khor2    47:7 | the king’s house for Smbat; for he was a confidant of 06Khor2    47:7 | a confidant of Eruand’s, and for that reason he had been 06Khor2    48:4 | certain magus who interpreted dreams; for that reason, he was called 06Khor2    48:8 | into Persia bearing the gifts for Darius, paying no heed to 06Khor2    49:2 | the allegorical passion of Sat’inik for the descendants of the vishaps 06Khor2    49:2 | to the fable - that is, for the descendants of Azhdahak who 06Khor2    50:5 | come no more on raids for plunder into Armenia 06Khor2    50:6 | to give up the youth. For it is not right for 06Khor2    50:6 | For it is not right for heroes to take the lives 06Khor2    50:6 | the progeny of other heroes for the sake of vengeance, or 06Khor2    50:8 | and to free the youth for the sake of peace 06Khor2    50:10 | a myriad myriads in return for the noble-born princess of 06Khor2    50:16 | For our kings had the custom 06Khor2    51:3 | and gained the second rank for himself 06Khor2    51:5 | Mandu, who was very remarkable for her beauty and carriage, as 06Khor2    51:5 | and carriage, as a concubine for Artashēs 06Khor2    51:7 | and fortresses there he appropriated for his own inheritance. Argam’s sons 06Khor2    51:8 | Muratsean family; and he confiscated for himself their villages and all 06Khor2    52:2 | It is pleasant for me to tell of the 06Khor2    52:2 | of the valiant man Smbat, for indeed, what the fable says 06Khor2    52:2 | the spirit; he was notable for the beauty of his hair 06Khor2    52:2 | things and had a gift for success in battle more than 06Khor2    52:3 | For after so many brave deeds 06Khor2    52:4 | For Sat’inik’s father had died and 06Khor2    53:3 | the land of the Caspians for that reason rebelled against our 06Khor2    53:4 | the king himself accompanied them for seven days 06Khor2    53:6 | Therefore as a just reward for his sendees, Artashēs granted him 06Khor2    54:7 | and after him Nerva reigned for not more than one year 06Khor2    55:3 | presents, and accepting the responsibility for defaulting he appeared before him 06Khor2    55:6 | he nourished on Smbat’s behalf, for the latter had raised him 06Khor2    56:2 | of estates to be distinguished. For he had increased the population 06Khor2    56:3 | And he established markers for the borders in the following 06Khor2    57:4 | the family of the Amatunik’, for they are personable and well 06Khor2    57:6 | What the reasons for their coming here might be 06Khor2    59:3 | either they did not care for such sciences or were unversed 06Khor2    59:4 | the rivers, nor any instruments for fishing; not even agriculture was 06Khor2    61:2 | kept only Tiran his successor, for he had no son 06Khor2    62:5 | Hashteank’, and they note: “Enlarge for us our inheritance, for it 06Khor2    62:5 | Enlarge for us our inheritance, for it is cramped, since we 06Khor2    62:7 | This is even more cramping for us.” Tiran paid no heed 06Khor2    62:8 | found to be insufficient inheritance for the inhabitants of Hashteank’. Therefore 06Khor2    62:11 | for they saw that he was 06Khor2    62:14 | He governed the kingdom peaceably for twenty-one years and died 06Khor2    63:6 | this singer.” He replied: “No, for she is my concubine 06Khor2    63:12 | It is superfluous for us to say more about 06Khor2    64:6 | other noble families. But as for the lesser families either here 06Khor2    64:6 | and had fought the Greeks for his release; some came from 06Khor2    64:8 | For this reason we shall say 06Khor2    64:8 | subsequent events that we know for certain 06Khor2    64:11 | a purposeless and superfluous work, for that brings equal danger to 06Khor2    65:7 | Having ruled for twenty years he died 06Khor2    65:10 | over the plain. Pursuing them for a long distance, he pushed 06Khor2    65:13 | great mountain to exact vengeance for his father’s death. Routing those 06Khor2    66:3 | for he became famous as a 06Khor2    66:4 | he did not falsify history, for he was an eloquent man 06Khor2    66:6 | and be received as guests for the night 06Khor2    66:8 | our account and repeated it for you, from the reign of 06Khor2    67:3 | and Assyria in a raid for plunder 06Khor2    67:5 | his account, he says that for ten years he continuously plundered 06Khor2    67:7 | For the sake of that, Anak 06Khor2    68:3 | For Scripture says that after the 06Khor2    68:4 | the land of the Kushans for thirty-one years; and after 06Khor2    68:4 | after him his son Artashēs for twenty-six years, and then 06Khor2    68:5 | to Bahl and ruled securely for fifty-three years. Therefore, his 06Khor2    68:7 | of Armenia, and he reigned for thirty years; then Arshakan ruled 06Khor2    68:7 | thirty years; then Arshakan ruled for thirty-one years, followed by 06Khor2    68:7 | one years, followed by Arshēz for twenty years, then Arshavir for 06Khor2    68:7 | for twenty years, then Arshavir for forty-six years 06Khor2    68:12 | under this arrangement they lived for many years until the throne 06Khor2    69:3 | as we said, Artashēs ruled for thirty-four years, Dareh for 06Khor2    69:3 | for thirty-four years, Dareh for thirty years, Arshak for twenty 06Khor2    69:3 | Dareh for thirty years, Arshak for twenty-nine years, Artashēs for 06Khor2    69:3 | for twenty-nine years, Artashēs for twenty years, Peroz for thirty 06Khor2    69:3 | Artashēs for twenty years, Peroz for thirty-four years, Vaḷarsh for 06Khor2    69:3 | for thirty-four years, Vaḷarsh for fifty years, Artavan for thirty 06Khor2    69:3 | Vaḷarsh for fifty years, Artavan for thirty-one years 06Khor2    70:4 | This is not the place for us now to repeat the 06Khor2    71:4 | and of the Pahlavik’, except for the branch of Karēn. To 06Khor2    73:2 | his joy was short-lived; for the sad news quickly arrived 06Khor2    73:2 | young men to sucklings, save for one youth whom a friend 06Khor2    73:2 | there would be no danger for the child 06Khor2    73:3 | For this reason the Persians have 06Khor2    73:5 | of the Karenean Pahlav, vengeance for which the Armenian king Khosrov 06Khor2    74:2 | all sorts of gifts. “Especially for the Parthians,” he said, “it 06Khor2    75:8 | But as for his account of events after 06Khor2    75:8 | accurate we shall repeat it for you briefly 06Khor2    75:9 | But as for what happened in the reign 06Khor2    76:4 | had plundered the Cyclades Islands, for that reason Valerian was not 06Khor2    77:3 | destroyed their fortified places - except for a certain noble called Awtay 06Khor2    77:10 | own territories with Persian governors for twenty-six years, and after 06Khor2    77:10 | six years, and after him, for one year until the reign 06Khor2    79:2 | and also Cerasos of Argos; for the latter pulled out the 06Khor2    80:5 | I am happy to say, for the sake of preparing the 06Khor2    80:5 | sake of preparing the way for our salvation 06Khor2    80:11 | wonderful than their amazing father, for he did not seek his 06Khor2    80:12 | occupied himself with collecting material for his teaching 06Khor2    80:13 | nothing of what he feared, for they cared only for what 06Khor2    80:13 | feared, for they cared only for what has no end and 06Khor2    81:7 | the king of China prepared for war against him 06Khor2    81:10 | which is equivalent to death for him. So, let there not 06Khor2    81:12 | us is aristocratic and food for the few - the pheasant and 06Khor2    81:13 | no one knows. And as for the garments which among us 06Khor2    81:13 | the robes of the few, for them they are the common 06Khor2    81:14 | So much for the land of China 06Khor2    81:15 | to settle and a stipend for food; he changed their residence 06Khor2    81:15 | residence from place to place for many years 06Khor2    82:4 | man, reliable and very wise; for although he did not know 06Khor2    82:7 | For the same reason he appointed 06Khor2    84:2 | Armenia, he appointed a time for his own arrival with the 06Khor2    84:9 | family about the king’s departure for Albania. “The danger is great 06Khor2    84:9 | danger is great,” he said, “ for King Trdat; therefore, he went 06Khor2    84:9 | the time is now suitable for us to plan and execute 06Khor2    84:11 | way to indicate his friendship for the rebel and persuaded him 06Khor2    85:4 | shoulder and the right armpit, for he, Trdat had raised his 06Khor2    86:4 | had been worked in Armenia for the king and the nobles 06Khor2    86:6 | was Mihran enveloped, which became for him a cause of eternal 06Khor2    86:8 | to do from then on, for the Georgians had happily accepted 06Khor2    86:10 | the mornings from their roofs, for it faced them. But if 06Khor2    86:16 | making this world a practice for death, by her words a 06Khor2    87:11 | his head remained incomplete, and for this reason he was called 06Khor2    87:12 | But Trdat secured for himself the seven-walled Ecbatana 06Khor2    87:13 | For Shapuh had begged his victor 06Khor2    87:13 | had begged his victor Constantine for a treaty and the establishment 06Khor2    88:3 | here also. It is impossible for the leopard to change his 06Khor2    88:3 | Ethiopian his skin, and likewise for the impious man to change 06Khor2    88:4 | For first he was found to 06Khor2    88:5 | wife because of his passion for the blessed Glaphyra. For this 06Khor2    88:5 | passion for the blessed Glaphyra. For this reason, he killed Saint 06Khor2    88:7 | him as a real enemy, for he knew that every impious 06Khor2    88:12 | Macedon when he prepared there for war against Darius, and for 06Khor2    88:12 | for war against Darius, and for that reason built in his 06Khor2    88:12 | memory the so-called Strategion - for in it he stored the 06Khor2    88:14 | also built the theater, both for wild animal combats and for 06Khor2    88:14 | for wild animal combats and for players, and the hippodrome, which 06Khor2    89:6 | were Nerseh, who later reigned for nine years, and Ormizd, who 06Khor2    89:6 | Ormizd, who also later reigned for three years with success 06Khor2    90:10 | we have explained the reasons for the coming of the two 06Khor2    90:11 | iron clamps and lead. Inside, for his sister Khosrovidukht, he built 06Khor2    91:3 | and teachers, in his love for the mountains and solitude and 06Khor2    91:5 | some caves in the rock. For this reason, the mountain was 06Khor2    91:9 | After him Aristakēs was patriarch for seven years, from the forty 06Khor2    91:11 | being reprimanded by him waited for an opportune day. And meeting 06Khor2    91:14 | in the Cave of Manē for many years and on his 06Khor2    91:17 | Saint Gregory’s relics were hidden for many years by divine providence 06Khor2    91:19 | of our land he arose for us as a true dawn 06Khor2    91:20 | old age of spiritual wealth [cf. Ps. 91:15] for the glory and praise of 06Khor2    92:3 | the superiority to the king, for the two were equal in 06Khor2    92:3 | by persuasive or forceful words, for he never interrupted his efforts 06Khor2    92:4 | For this reason I call him 06Khor2    92:5 | because this is the time for history and not for praise 06Khor2    92:5 | time for history and not for praise, especially because this book 06Khor2    92:6 | more his acts and words for the cause of Christ. He 06Khor2    92:10 | For they sent after him and 06Khor2    92:13 | my own, as did Paul for his own and the enemies 06Khor2    92:17 | For you have sinned in anger 06Khor2    92:17 | not repented on your bed. For you have offered an offering 06Khor2    92:20 | console ourselves in our dangers. “ For if they have done this 06Khor2    92:21 | by descending from the throne for God’s sake, what should be 06Khor2    92:23 | Which of you will provide for us; which of the doctors 06Khor2    92:23 | us rest, who has prepared for us a house or lodging 06Khor2    92:24 | I shall leave the rest, for you have not restrained the 06Khor2    92:25 | himself is priest and minister for himself, as Scripture says [cf. 2 Chron. 13:9]. Just 06Khor2    92:26 | source of amazement and horrible for those in their right minds 06Khor2    92:26 | those in their right minds. For the one who speaks talks 06Khor2    92:27 | For he exercises no effort concerning 06Khor2    92:27 | outside hear his voice” [Isa. 42:2]. But for the sake of human glory 06Khor2    92:29 | right mind would not lament for them? And, if no one 06Khor2    92:32 | concerning Saint Trdat is true. For having made him drink a 06Khor3    1:3 | not censure or blame us, for behold we shall tell you 06Khor3    3:2 | blessed Trdat waged a campaign for the faith and moral life 06Khor3    3:3 | very ardently. And we know for certain that they will respect 06Khor3    3:3 | that they will respect them for the famous name’ of Gregory 06Khor3    4:3 | For on the death of the 06Khor3    4:3 | P’aytakaran, conceived the same plan for himself. Although he did not 06Khor3    5:3 | For God has made you lord 06Khor3    6:6 | himself, leaving behind King Khosrov - for he was small of person 06Khor3    6:7 | the Aḷuank’ to King Shapuh for refuge 06Khor3    7:8 | son and heir obtained healing for the province by sincere repentance 06Khor3    8:2 | and having absolutely no desire for noble projects 06Khor3    8:4 | But Khosrov was unconcerned for valor and good repute; he 06Khor3    8:4 | and other game. It was for this reason that he planted 06Khor3    9:3 | the prince of the Amatunik’, for our northern forces were with 06Khor3    9:6 | being able to harm him, for when they struck him with 06Khor3    10:3 | longer before dying, having reigned for nine years. He was taken 06Khor3    12:2 | on the borders of Albania for four years 06Khor3    12:4 | battle, both sides were defeated, for many fell from both sides 06Khor3    12:4 | to terms and made peace for a few years 06Khor3    12:5 | Mospuestia in Cilicia, having reigned for twenty-three years 06Khor3    13:5 | ride. Julian agreed but asked for troops and hostages 06Khor3    14:4 | would be put to death for trampling on the emperor’s image 06Khor3    14:4 | ordered him to be beaten for a long time with thongs 06Khor3    14:7 | had been in the episcopate for six years 06Khor3    15:7 | son of Aramazd and destined for immortality, to Tiran our governor 06Khor3    15:8 | we allowed them to go for two reasons. First, lest the 06Khor3    15:9 | that no successor is left for him. Otherwise I swear by 06Khor3    16:3 | for his sons were unworthy of 06Khor3    16:3 | leave any adult children suitable for that position, save a young 06Khor3    16:4 | Tiran. He occupied the throne for four years 06Khor3    17:7 | have kept firm your love for us by not coming with 06Khor3    17:9 | that we may make plans for our common advantage 06Khor3    17:10 | senses and went to him, for justice drew him to the 06Khor3    17:11 | So rightly vengeance was exacted for that saintly man by whom 06Khor3    17:12 | of the light after reigning for eleven years 06Khor3    18:2 | benevolently to secure the land for himself. He also subjected the 06Khor3    18:3 | in Bithynia he camped there for many months, unable to do 06Khor3    20:3 | and he went even further. For the good order that he 06Khor3    20:4 | natural custom in our land. For lepers were persecuted, being considered 06Khor3    20:5 | and they found no consolation for their misery from anyone 06Khor3    20:8 | And he set aside for them towns and fields, fertile 06Khor3    20:8 | through their taxes might cater for their needs from a distance 06Khor3    20:10 | village to serve as inns for strangers, and hospices for orphans 06Khor3    20:10 | inns for strangers, and hospices for orphans and the aged and 06Khor3    20:10 | orphans and the aged and for the care of the poor 06Khor3    20:11 | monasteries and hermitages and huts for solitaries. And as their fathers 06Khor3    21:2 | a certain Rodanus, the majordomo; for three times he had commanded 06Khor3    21:5 | Great to meet him. Begging for reconciliation, he paid in full 06Khor3    21:7 | he brought as a wife for Arshak a maiden called Olympias 06Khor3    21:9 | plotted evil against him, waiting for a suitable 06Khor3    22:2 | to his blinded grandfather Tiran, for he was still alive 06Khor3    22:3 | Gnel’s father, holding himself responsible for his murder. Therefore, he gave 06Khor3    22:6 | Here Tirit’ found a pretext for calumny. Approaching the king with 06Khor3    22:8 | For the emperors have contrived this 06Khor3    22:11 | For it was the custom only 06Khor3    22:11 | it was the custom only for the king to dwell in 06Khor3    22:11 | as the crown prince and for the other Arsacids to dwell 06Khor3    22:14 | remonstrances to his son Arshak, for which he was secretly strangled 06Khor3    22:14 | the tombs of his fathers. For justly he paid amends for 06Khor3    22:14 | For justly he paid amends for the man of God Daniel 06Khor3    23:9 | had never seen such preparations for the hunt and such a 06Khor3    24:2 | also revealed to the world for the terror of sinners, the 06Khor3    24:3 | went and sat in mourning for many days, like Samuel over 06Khor3    24:6 | her of life through envy for her queenly rank 06Khor3    25:2 | that he bore against Arshak for paying tribute not to him 06Khor3    25:2 | him but to the emperor for so many years 06Khor3    25:4 | Shapuh wished to avenge himself for the past battles, he set 06Khor3    25:4 | war against the Greeks, and for that reason asked our King 06Khor3    25:6 | of the hatred he had for the Greeks 06Khor3    26:3 | with a force of levies, for Antiochus, prince of Siunik’, who 06Khor3    26:10 | will again become an example for the impudent and stubborn 06Khor3    27:3 | town as a gathering place for criminals, and he ordered that 06Khor3    27:4 | with a sea of men; for trustees, debtors, slaves, delinquents, thieves 06Khor3    27:4 | other such people fled there for refuge, and there was no 06Khor3    27:7 | was to insult Arshak or for some pagan incantations 06Khor3    27:9 | For they could not distinguish the 06Khor3    27:9 | depredators had jumbled them together. For that reason, they were not 06Khor3    27:10 | and women, except suckling infants, for each one of them was 06Khor3    27:12 | and arranged care and nurses for them. The spot later became 06Khor3    27:12 | and was called Ort’k’ (“baskets”) for that reason 06Khor3    29:2 | Again trouble arose for Shapuh from the same nations 06Khor3    29:2 | were changed”: this side’s peace for that side’s disturbance, and then 06Khor3    29:2 | and then that side’s peace for this side’s disturbance. What was 06Khor3    29:2 | disturbance. What was the end for one was the beginning for 06Khor3    29:2 | for one was the beginning for the other 06Khor3    29:4 | to those princes, seeking vengeance for his city of Arshakavan 06Khor3    29:6 | many from both sides fell, for heroes were facing heroes and 06Khor3    29:16 | think that we have rebelled for hatred of you, or that 06Khor3    29:17 | I preserved fidelity toward you. For that reason, he ruined our 06Khor3    29:18 | keep firm your earlier love for us, and we shall pay 06Khor3    30:5 | God’s providence they were nourished for eight months by fish that 06Khor3    31:2 | the nobles and sought vengeance for his city of Arshakavan 06Khor3    31:5 | Spandarat, the son of Arshavir, for he had an Arsacid wife 06Khor3    31:5 | quarrel with his uncle Nerseh. For this reason, he was not 06Khor3    31:7 | the Great on his departure for Greece had ordained his deacon 06Khor3    31:8 | surpassed him in his care for the poor. His barns were 06Khor3    31:9 | save in a single respect, for he was fastidious in his 06Khor3    31:9 | and a lover of horses. For this he was blamed and 06Khor3    32:1 | him because of his reproaches for his transgressions 06Khor3    32:2 | without burial to become food for dogs. And he himself, as 06Khor3    33:4 | been exiled to the mines for their orthodoxy. Among these was 06Khor3    33:4 | blasphemies of the impious Macedonius. For the latter did not confess 06Khor3    34:5 | allow me to hide somewhere for a brief while until I 06Khor3    34:6 | received the benefits, I hope for from you - which is uncertain 06Khor3    35:2 | the force that had come for that purpose was small, they 06Khor3    35:6 | the fortress refused to wait for news of Pap and surrendered 06Khor3    35:12 | like Saul [cf. 1 Kings 31:4; 1 Chron. 10:4]. He had reigned for thirty years 06Khor3    36:4 | kept in various castles, hoping for the conversion of their husbands 06Khor3    36:7 | destroy the teaching of Christianity, for at that time the Armenians 06Khor3    36:9 | and gathered a large army for him under the valiant general 06Khor3    36:12 | and putrefy and become carrion for birds 06Khor3    37:2 | march with Mehrujan into Armenia for war 06Khor3    37:10 | For Gorgonos, general of the infantry 06Khor3    37:13 | For one could see them like 06Khor3    37:15 | and ours too a little for they were unable to see 06Khor3    37:22 | found at the spot, opportunely for the destruction of the impious 06Khor3    37:22 | fire and an iron spit for roasting meat.

He had reigned for seven years 06Khor3    40:4 | midday he had killed lions, for which he was praised and 06Khor3    40:5 | And as for his valor and bravery against 06Khor3    40:5 | the equal of Saint Trdat: for when five heroes from among 06Khor3    40:15 | the Ocean.

Having searched 07Seb1    40:12 | The queen held the throne for two years and died 07Seb1    40:14 | For the army of the Persian 07Seb1    41:3 | and distributed alms and money for incense to all the churches 07Seb1    41:5 | emperor. ’Otherwise, we shall make for ourselves another Catholicos, and do 07Seb1    41:7 | He asked the king for the saltmines of Kołb as 07Seb1    41:10 | warning and note: ’Look out for yourself, because tomorrow they will 07Seb1    41:12 | destruction) and that of many. For he joined Theodore, the nephew 07Seb1    41:14 | the king knew of it for certain, he ordered that the 07Seb1    41:14 | sent a message: In return for your acting thus towards me 07Seb1    41:16 | Gnel Gnuni. Then he took for himself command of the army 07Seb1    41:17 | service. He held the office for three years with great magnificence 07Seb1    42:0 | line) which had held power for [542] years. The Jews betake themselves 07Seb1    42:3 | him in battle, they parleyed for peace with him. Opening the 07Seb1    42:6 | father Abraham. So Mahmet legislated for them: not to eat carrion 07Seb1    42:7 | to Abraham and his seed for you. Love sincerely only the 07Seb1    42:9 | in the territory of Ṙuben, for the Greek army had camped 07Seb1    42:28 | the province who had come for the vintage of the vineyards 07Seb1    43:1 | gaining help from the Hagarenes for a brief while, decided to 07Seb1    43:1 | and construction as a place for their prayers. But the Ismaelites 07Seb1    43:2 | of the temple, another place for their prayer. There they proposed 07Seb1    44:3 | Constantine reigned for ( only) a few days. He 07Seb1    44:6 | For three days the battle continued 07Seb1    44:20 | He appointed for him a stipend and sustenance 07Seb1    44:20 | done in his regard. As for T’umas, they stripped him of 07Seb1    44:21 | tears on each other’s neck, for they had been raised together 07Seb1    44:24 | in the land of Armenia. For immediately the royal command reached 07Seb1    44:25 | faith that they would request for him the rank of prince 07Seb1    44:26 | in accordance with the oath. For the aspet had written to 07Seb1    44:27 | loyally and live and die for your Piety.’ Then king 07Seb1    44:28 | his body and brought it for burial beside his father in 07Seb1    45:2 | it was a great victory for the Armenian general 07Seb1    45:5 | naval battle was not successful for him, because the host of 07Seb1    45:6 | them. He began to parley for peace through ambassadors, and the 07Seb1    45:10 | of the land of Armenia. For in the years of king 07Seb1    46:3 | apostles to pray with supplications for your pious rule, and for 07Seb1    46:3 | for your pious rule, and for all the princes and troops 07Seb1    46:4 | For behold, that kingdom is greater 07Seb1    46:5 | For when they removed the kingdom 07Seb1    46:6 | with their body; but as for their souls, only He knows 07Seb1    46:10 | and there was an outcry. For some were orthodox in faith 07Seb1    46:15 | Aruastan, Khuzhastan, and other lands; for which reason king Khosrov ordered 07Seb1    46:18 | For I am from two natures 07Seb1    46:23 | the more is it right for us to enjoy that peace 07Seb1    46:23 | must request from Christ God for your pious and God-loving 07Seb1    46:25 | As for the investigation which you ordered 07Seb1    46:26 | and bear witness and describe for you the eternal life which 07Seb1    46:29 | For the paternal nature was united 07Seb1    46:33 | and sign of great love for men - that the incorporeal was 07Seb1    46:34 | spare his own Son, but for the sake of us all 07Seb1    46:34 | of a body of sin for the sake of sin; and 07Seb1    46:36 | flesh of the word together. For although the flesh is man 07Seb1    46:39 | confirmed the same at Nicaea. For they said concerning the Son 07Seb1    46:39 | heaven and on earth; who for our sake and for our 07Seb1    46:39 | who for our sake and for our salvation was made man 07Seb1    46:40 | For he was incarnate in one 07Seb1    46:43 | we reckon the same sufficient for the teaching of the right 07Seb1    46:45 | persons. They confirmed once more for us the truth of the 07Seb1    46:51 | Who for the sake of us men 07Seb1    46:51 | sake of us men and for our salvation, descended, was incarnate 07Seb1    46:54 | As for those who say: there was 07Seb1    46:55 | Spirit, now and always and for ages of ages. Amen.’ 07Seb1    46:58 | and defeated and slew them. For he believed in one God 07Seb1    46:59 | men convened. They were there for [15] days. Then he brought them 07Seb1    46:61 | not reckon it a dishonour for the deity. But once he 07Seb1    46:62 | For he says: ’The myriad chariots 07Seb1    46:63 | and immortal, who was crucified for us, have mercy upon us 07Seb1    46:64 | As for the Lord’s sacrament which we 07Seb1    46:64 | is pure to the impure. For we have universal canons for 07Seb1    46:64 | For we have universal canons for rites and sacraments for men 07Seb1    46:64 | canons for rites and sacraments for men and women, that those 07Seb1    46:65 | But as for those (married) a second time 07Seb1    46:65 | virgin and the other (married) for the second time, the (canon 07Seb1    46:65 | enjoins both to repent together for three years, and then to 07Seb1    46:65 | does not accept those (married) for the third or fourth time 07Seb1    46:65 | unworthily, eats and drinks judgment for himself, because he does not 07Seb1    46:67 | considered very impure and loathsome. For Solon the Athenian laid down 07Seb1    46:67 | the Athenian laid down laws for the Athenians: to refrain from 07Seb1    46:67 | the Lacedaemonian laid down laws for the Lacedaemonians: to refrain from 07Seb1    46:69 | the more is it right for us to carry out the 07Seb1    46:69 | reverence: ’Flee from fornication.’ For although ’no one is just 07Seb1    46:71 | then would it be right for the impure and unclean among 07Seb1    46:73 | light of Nicaea was established for us through that same blessed 07Seb1    46:74 | we do not know anything for sure. But as the old 07Seb1    46:74 | the council convened in Constantinople for the interdiction of Nestorius. They 07Seb1    46:75 | they had convened the council for the heresy of Eutyches, it 07Seb1    46:75 | they confirmed their own heresy. For that Eutyches in error note 07Seb1    46:76 | be a pillar of support for their heresy. On it they 07Seb1    46:78 | then it would be impossible for a virgin to conceive without 07Seb1    46:78 | And it would be impossible for that man to feed the 07Seb1    46:79 | God is truly Emmanuel, and for that reason the Virgin Mary 07Seb1    47:2 | a sword will consume you; for the mouth of the Lord 07Seb1    47:7 | For this reason they slew all 07Seb1    47:10 | army in order to parley for peace with the Magistros and 07Seb1    47:12 | For that reason the army of 07Seb1    48:2 | but was unable to escape. For they caught up with him 07Seb1    48:3 | he had governed the kingdom for [20] years. So was extinguished the 07Seb1    48:3 | Sasan, which had held sway for [542] years 07Seb1    48:6 | treaty between me and you for as many years as you 07Seb1    48:6 | not take tribute from you for a three-year period. Then 07Seb1    48:6 | shall not request the cavalry for Syria; but wherever else I 07Seb1    48:6 | command they shall be ready for duty. I shall not send 07Seb1    48:7 | them away from the Romans. For although the emperor wrote many 07Seb1    48:12 | in the city of Karin for a few days. The princes 07Seb1    48:14 | king the intention and plan for rebellion of the lord of 07Seb1    48:16 | And they seized the treasures, for all the treasures of the 07Seb1    48:19 | the plain. Although the Iberians for a while did not wish 07Seb1    49:1 | about the Armenian Catholicos Nersēs, for he was by origin from 07Seb1    49:6 | and had to keep silent. For he (Nersēs) and all the 07Seb1    49:12 | counter your beneficent commands? As for this country, all orders of 07Seb1    49:17 | more to his own position. For the prince of Ṙshtunik’ and 07Seb1    49:18 | of the Mamikoneank’. He requested for himself troops from the Ismaelites 07Seb1    50:2 | divided into four parts: three for me, and one for you 07Seb1    50:2 | three for me, and one for you. I shall provide you 07Seb1    50:4 | with a thousand elite cavalry for each ship 07Seb1    50:5 | them (only) a few men for the sake of speed, [100] men 07Seb1    50:5 | the sake of speed, [100] men for each ship, so that they 07Seb1    50:9 | put to shame and disquieted for ever and ever; and they 07Seb1    50:10 | ships and all their equipment. For they had stowed on board 07Seb1    50:11 | awesome power of the Lord. For the Lord looked down from 07Seb1    50:12 | of the waves, they perished; for the sea opened its mouth 07Seb1    50:13 | of the pious king Constans. For six days the violence of 07Seb1    50:17 | them. Therefore, they departed rapidly for Asorestan, and caused no harm 07Seb1    50:19 | For the lord of Ṙshtunik’ had 07Seb1    50:19 | and they appointed tax-gatherers for gold and silver 07Seb1    50:20 | Something of that sort happened. For there was no place for 07Seb1    50:20 | For there was no place for flight or refuge for the 07Seb1    50:20 | place for flight or refuge for the populace, nor mercy from 07Seb1    50:21 | Ṙshtunik’ saw this, he requested for himself troops from the Ismaelites 07Seb1    51:2 | the tax imposed on them. For they took from them each 07Seb1    51:2 | year [365] sacks of drams. As for those who could not pay 07Seb1    51:2 | could not pay, they took for each dram one man, and 07Seb1    51:5 | from those regions and made for the north, towards the people 07Seb1    51:6 | the Gate of the Huns - for they were the guards of 07Seb1    51:8 | behind them. So, they made for the mountain, for the difficult 07Seb1    51:8 | they made for the mountain, for the difficult terrain of the 07Seb1    52:5 | springtime arrived, he made preparations for battle with the army of 07Seb1    52:10 | he began to be zealous for the valiant character of his 07Seb1    52:10 | On High leadership and success for his own valour 07Seb1    52:21 | They were unable to refrain for the least moment from the 07Seb1    52:23 | For even if it was fulfilled 07Seb1    52:23 | words shall not pass.’ ’For fire will flame up,’ 07Seb1    52:24 | I shall exterminate them.’ For just as arrows fly from 08Ghev1    1:0 | Mahmet) [ca. 570-632] died after exercising power for twenty years. In the eleventh 08Ghev1    1:0 | ’Umar [634-644], and ’Uthman [644-656] who ruled for thirty-eight years. As long 08Ghev1    1:0 | against Judaea, because Heraclius’ reputation for bravery was widespread, and he 08Ghev1    1:2 | against Judaea and Asorestan, having for support the command of their 08Ghev1    1:2 | put them under your rule, for the plenty of the world 08Ghev1    1:2 | has been given to us for our enjoyment. Eat the meat 08Ghev1    1:10 | Byzantine troops displayed great ignorance, for they put the army’s supplies 08Ghev1    2:13 | For the next three years they 08Ghev1    3:4 | For they occurred everywhere. The holy 08Ghev1    3:4 | the square crying out laments for the fate that awaited them 08Ghev1    3:7 | the birds of the air for food, the flesh of thy 08Ghev1    3:9 | sat sobbing, lamenting, and grieving for their women and children 08Ghev1    3:10 | the land of the Armenians for ten years 08Ghev1    3:14 | in His Name. As retribution for the evils the Arabs had 08Ghev1    3:15 | As for that other front of the 08Ghev1    3:15 | After that they stopped raiding for two years 08Ghev1    4:0 | a certain Mu’awiya held authority for nineteen years and four months 08Ghev1    4:6 | and (together) they set off for Syria, crossing the bridge on 08Ghev1    4:15 | son, Yazid [I, 680-683] succeeded him, living for two years and five months 08Ghev1    4:15 | of Marwan [I, 684-685] ruled. He lived for twenty-one years before dying 08Ghev1    4:16 | among the Tachiks which continued for three years, claiming innumerable lives 08Ghev1    4:17 | from all raids and attacks. For he was a God-fearing 08Ghev1    4:18 | to them, having been tributary for thirty years. This rebellion lasted 08Ghev1    4:18 | thirty years. This rebellion lasted for three years. In the fourth 08Ghev1    4:500 | of the Armenians (in exchange for allowing them) to remain without 08Ghev1    5:6 | adversaries and established his reign for a second time. True’gh died 08Ghev1    5:7 | Ashot held authority for four years. In the fourth 08Ghev1    5:7 | at Xram, Jugha, and Xoshakunik’ for they tortured the men, demanding 08Ghev1    6:1 | Varaztirots’. This was in revenge for Smbat’s desertion of the Byzantine 08Ghev1    7:5 | deadly poison. He planned death for the monastery of Saint Gregory 08Ghev1    7:6 | For the Arabs had seen the 08Ghev1    7:7 | treacherously planned a fatal ruination for them 08Ghev1    7:9 | Then they sought for the servant whom they themselves 08Ghev1    7:19 | torments which have been prepared for him, the fire, darkness, unending 08Ghev1    8:0 | When general Muhammad left for Syria, he left an Ishmaelite 08Ghev1    8:1 | sought to find some way for them to save their lives 08Ghev1    8:3 | ask him about these matters. For the monk was a blessed 08Ghev1    8:5 | Offering prayers for them, the monk entrusted them 08Ghev1    8:11 | mighty right hand of God for aid and a just verdict 08Ghev1    8:13 | came to the Armenian forces, for although there were less than 08Ghev1    8:16 | fugitives, some three hundred, turned for aid to (tikin) “Lady” Shushan 08Ghev1    8:18 | animals from her own herd for them and then sent them 08Ghev1    8:23 | Arabs to the sword except for two hundred and eighty men 08Ghev1    8:28 | put to the sword. As for the man they had promised 08Ghev1    9:6 | As for our religion, let us have 08Ghev1    9:14 | Ishmaelite general’s hand, they departed for the land of the Armenians 08Ghev1    9:15 | As for general Muhammad, he came a 08Ghev1    9:15 | ’Abd al-Malik, remaining there for three years. He did no 08Ghev1    10:0 | caliph of the Ishmaelites, ruling for ten years and eight months 08Ghev1    10:4 | Byzantine troops lost their appetite for war and fled, taking refuge 08Ghev1    10:10 | God, looking solely to Him for help and crying out: “You 08Ghev1    10:10 | You who are the refuge for the persecuted, the helper of 08Ghev1    10:11 | mercy do not abandon us. For we are Your servants, even 08Ghev1    10:11 | have displeased Your sweet love for humanity. In mercy, remember Your 08Ghev1    10:11 | In mercy, remember Your servants. For behold, Your sanctuary and the 08Ghev1    10:11 | glorified has become a cemetary for us 08Ghev1    10:17 | the Byzantine emperor and pasturage for their herds. The emperor gave 08Ghev1    10:17 | Egeria. And they dwelled there for six years 08Ghev1    10:24 | water to protect the fortress. “ For,” ’Abd al-Aziz said about 08Ghev1    11:6 | are no cemetaries in Damascus for your bodies 08Ghev1    11:10 | from throughout my entire kingdom for your notables 08Ghev1    11:14 | war. Caliph al-Walid ruled for ten years and eight months 08Ghev1    12:0 | al-Walid as caliph, ruling for two years and eight months 08Ghev1    12:5 | strong-bodied forces—whose renown for bravery was acclaimed among all 08Ghev1    12:6 | did battle with each other for many days, but not fighting 08Ghev1    12:6 | whom he had called upon for assistance 08Ghev1    13:0 | ’Umar [II] succeeded as caliph [717-720], ruling for two years and five months 08Ghev1    13:1 | the lords of our land. For Muhammad had seized numerous fortresses 08Ghev1    13:7 | This provides a reason for suspecting that you had doubts 08Ghev1    13:8 | many times lost, so that for a long time there was 08Ghev1    14:4 | and divine doctrine to heretics, for fear of it being turned 08Ghev1    14:6 | we are not learning now for the first time about the 08Ghev1    14:6 | the substance of your beliefs, for we have been commanded by 08Ghev1    14:6 | these writings make it unnecessary for us to involve you (in 08Ghev1    14:9 | You have, for example, said that our Lord 08Ghev1    14:11 | first time we have searched for and found such words of 08Ghev1    14:13 | It would be expedient for you, following your own words 08Ghev1    14:34 | the custom of that paganism for which they showed intimacy 08Ghev1    14:37 | had to suffer certain changes, for the sacrilegious men would have 08Ghev1    14:43 | eminent Daniel prophesied in Babylon, for it was there that he 08Ghev1    14:44 | we hung up our lyres. For there our captors required of 08Ghev1    14:45 | the marvellous work of God, for when it was compared with 08Ghev1    14:47 | the servants of God.” As for God Himself, Satan never approaches 08Ghev1    14:53 | Moses was only a preparation for the instruction of men, not 08Ghev1    14:55 | As regards hell (He says): “ For in my anger a fire 08Ghev1    14:56 | you seek to find accomplices for your lie. You would rather 08Ghev1    14:56 | the heavens, as you do for your Furqan, although we know 08Ghev1    14:58 | sending them Prophets. It is for this reason that the Lord 08Ghev1    14:59 | I repeat, it was for this reason that Jesus called 08Ghev1    14:59 | to comfort them His disciples for His ascension, and remind them 08Ghev1    14:64 | world a fourth period, whether for doctrine or for the promises 08Ghev1    14:64 | period, whether for doctrine or for the promises. On the contrary 08Ghev1    14:68 | take place among you. As for yourself, have you not thought 08Ghev1    14:72 | As for us, we are accustomed to 08Ghev1    14:76 | Turab escaped from this destruction, for he (Hajjaj) could not make 08Ghev1    14:76 | it would have been impossible for him to gather all the 08Ghev1    14:78 | and modify at will. Whenever, for example, you come across the 08Ghev1    14:79 | ought not to use them for citation. Finally, if you do 08Ghev1    14:79 | if you do cite them for purposes of reference, you are 08Ghev1    14:80 | It is very difficult indeed for the servants of God who 08Ghev1    14:86 | divinities emanating from different origins. For our part, we know only 08Ghev1    14:93 | Satan, was touched with compassion for mankind, for He alone is 08Ghev1    14:93 | touched with compassion for mankind, for He alone is the true 08Ghev1    14:93 | no other way of salvation for man other than coming to 08Ghev1    14:94 | God and receive the light, for which reason God revealed His 08Ghev1    14:98 | Now I shall cite for you a series of passages 08Ghev1    14:99 | him, let him rescue him, for he delights in him’.” [Psalm 22:6-7]. This 08Ghev1    14:101 | were (endowed with princely gifts). For the beauty of your saints 08Ghev1    14:109 | to know what it means for Him to rule all nations 08Ghev1    14:109 | in Him, as you see for yourself. The chiefs of Moab 08Ghev1    14:109 | The chiefs of Moab stand for Satan and all his demons 08Ghev1    14:112 | him. May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked 08Ghev1    14:112 | him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day 08Ghev1    14:115 | from you shall come forth for me one who is to 08Ghev1    14:116 | be written in the earth, for they have forsaken the Lord 08Ghev1    14:118 | what Isaiah had to say: “ For to us a child is 08Ghev1    14:119 | from this time forth and for evermore 08Ghev1    14:120 | I will establish his line for ever and his throne as 08Ghev1    14:121 | from this time forth and for evermore 08Ghev1    14:123 | have preferred to limit them for the sake of avoiding weariness 08Ghev1    14:126 | their mouths because of him; for that which has not been 08Ghev1    14:127 | of the Lord been revealed? ( For he grew up before him 08Ghev1    14:128 | afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised 08Ghev1    14:128 | our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was 08Ghev1    14:130 | land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people 08Ghev1    14:134 | divine origin. Suppose we admit for a moment that ours have 08Ghev1    14:136 | God. Then you reproach us for not turning, when we pray 08Ghev1    14:136 | indicated by the Law, and for not communicating as the legislation 08Ghev1    14:142 | going to the Father.” [John 16:28]. As for you, in the passages just 08Ghev1    14:144 | greater than (my) human nature, for otherwise He would have not 08Ghev1    14:145 | then all these idle opinions, for the fact is that Jesus 08Ghev1    14:148 | his temptations useless and retired for a while at which time 08Ghev1    14:149 | As for His life-giving death, of 08Ghev1    14:159 | and love to God. As for the principal reason why this 08Ghev1    14:160 | As for us, we have not received 08Ghev1    14:161 | the law, you take revenge for circumcision by only ridiculing it 08Ghev1    14:162 | As for the divine institution of Baptism 08Ghev1    14:164 | Nor have we substituted Sunday for the Sabbath, as you always 08Ghev1    14:164 | been set as the day for assembly, without any reason being 08Ghev1    14:165 | As for us, we assemble on the 08Ghev1    14:165 | render thanks to the Creator for so great a mystery. This 08Ghev1    14:167 | Yet for what reason do you attach 08Ghev1    14:167 | of the Lord? It was for you and such as resemble 08Ghev1    14:167 | be outraged and reduced yourselves. For I am doing a work 08Ghev1    14:168 | terms: “How is it possible for God to dwell in the 08Ghev1    14:171 | nothing more precious than man, for whom all things were created 08Ghev1    14:173 | been organized so by God for the good of the human 08Ghev1    14:173 | good of the human race. For example, the menses of the 08Ghev1    14:173 | of food and drink serve for the conservation of our life 08Ghev1    14:174 | aforementioned things which are designed for the purpose of procreation and 08Ghev1    14:175 | and all other created things, for it is of holy men 08Ghev1    14:177 | If God cares for all the bones of the 08Ghev1    14:177 | He not take special care for those of His saints, of 08Ghev1    14:179 | As for you, child that you are 08Ghev1    14:181 | tomb of a dead person, for that which seems to me 08Ghev1    14:182 | Yet what respect for the saints could one expect 08Ghev1    14:185 | Word of God who suffered for us in His human nature 08Ghev1    14:187 | As for pictures, we do not pay 08Ghev1    14:188 | animated by a sincere love for the disciples of the Lord 08Ghev1    14:188 | Lord, and burned with love for the incarnate Lord Himself, have 08Ghev1    14:188 | glorified His saints. But as for the wood and the colors 08Ghev1    14:195 | of all this evil? As for the example of David, who 08Ghev1    14:195 | committed a sin before God, for which he was grievously punished 08Ghev1    14:196 | In this you do well, for I know nothing worse than 08Ghev1    14:196 | to divorce the wife save for the cause of adultery, but 08Ghev1    14:197 | you commit with your concubines?

For they perceived the shady schemes 09Draskh1    43:12 | only, namely to make preparations for their expedition into Armenia, and 09Draskh1    43:13 | to make the preliminary preparations for the arrival of the ostikan 09Draskh1    43:16 | of Naxjawan, he remained there for a few days, until Gagik 09Draskh1    43:22 | After remaining there for twelve days, the ostikan proceeded 09Draskh1    43:25 | of that year in return for positive terms of peace and 09Draskh1    43:26 | the stealthful enemy gave cause for no joy, in order to 09Draskh1    44:1 | Smbat, and was thus preoccupied for several days 09Draskh1    44:4 | famine in order to provide for the livelihood of the new 09Draskh1    44:8 | I was compelled to ask for amnesty from the ostikan, as 09Draskh1    44:8 | death, which is something temporary for God, but because he kept 09Draskh1    44:8 | but because he kept me for acquiring gold, and I had 09Draskh1    44:10 | of the large allowance set for me that paid for all 09Draskh1    44:10 | set for me that paid for all of my needs 09Draskh1    45:5 | were forced to make preparations for an attack without realizing the 09Draskh1    45:8 | forced to retreat with them, for the assaults of the foreign 09Draskh1    45:10 | and held many a feast for his troops 09Draskh1    45:11 | considering such victories as fuel for the inflamed bitterness of his 09Draskh1    45:12 | For the root of bitterness, which 09Draskh1    45:13 | will shrink from shedding tears, for Providence disregarded us because of 09Draskh1    45:13 | receive) from the shackle (used for) mixing mortar to make bricks 09Draskh1    45:16 | play the philosopher, and grieve for the wounds received by the 09Draskh1    45:18 | to another passage: “I looked for some one who could grieve 09Draskh1    45:21 | with such misfortunes, and repaid for the sins in our bosom 09Draskh1    45:23 | For even the God-built churches 09Draskh1    45:25 | For this reason, we received insults 09Draskh1    45:27 | do this indeed suffered dishonor for their aberration 09Draskh1    46:4 | news of the vengeful retribution for our acts on the day 09Draskh1    46:5 | For those who formerly occupied seats 09Draskh1    46:9 | For this very reason I made 09Draskh1    46:9 | made mention of my grief for those beloved people, and bemoan 09Draskh1    46:9 | them) with tears and lamentations. For it was because of our 09Draskh1    46:10 | whom it is not proper for me to speak individually at 09Draskh1    46:10 | horrible and insidious death, save for the prudent king Gagik and 09Draskh1    47:1 | been executed by the ostikan for no reason, took constant precautions 09Draskh1    47:2 | ascetic, and the azat troops, for the torrential and muddy turbidity 09Draskh1    47:6 | and Arc’ax, where they waited for the Lord’s help 09Draskh1    47:7 | woman renowned among the ascetics for her virtuous and most holy 09Draskh1    47:9 | came to the fortress and for several days attacked it, but 09Draskh1    47:10 | ostikan, and continued the siege for many days 09Draskh1    47:13 | cease their lamenting and moaning for the unbearable travails.

However, for the moment their plan did 09Draskh1    48:3 | secret terms with him, waited for the right time in order 09Draskh1    48:5 | For he had taken into his 09Draskh1    48:5 | and had asked the caliph for terms of peace on behalf 09Draskh1    48:8 | their will, and the others for no reason at all. They 09Draskh1    48:15 | whereby he displayed his concern for the safety of others, and 09Draskh1    48:16 | Then, having asked the ostikan for a solemn oath, he descended 09Draskh1    48:19 | listener did not trust him, for through his perceptive and keen 09Draskh1    48:20 | For a short while Yusuf put 09Draskh1    48:21 | insidious bitterness of his mind.

For he, who had been immersed 09Draskh1    49:13 | like a martyr, in return for which there is considerable compensation 09Draskh1    49:16 | For the soil of the place 09Draskh1    50:1 | The rest were taken captive for their (Ishmaelites’) wicked and sodomitical 09Draskh1    50:3 | their fingers, and thereby paid for the necessities of their daily 09Draskh1    50:3 | necessities of their daily subsistence, for their treasures were taken away 09Draskh1    50:5 | in prison, they made preparations for a strong defense 09Draskh1    50:13 | Then, he set out for the district of Shirak and 09Draskh1    50:19 | in place of his father.

The notoriety of their 09Draskh1    51:50 | of these as a warning for all those who give thought 09Draskh1    52:1 | words of a sorrowful nature, for the neighboring nations surrounding us 09Draskh1    52:1 | in a prosperous state, and for this reason they tried to 09Draskh1    52:9 | it was the exact opposite. For the poor tried to surpass 09Draskh1    53:1 | the bitter impediments of evil. For the temperate northern climate gave 09Draskh1    53:9 | and others have come in for the harvest of our toil 09Draskh1    53:10 | were deprived of any hope for the good, and shame covered 09Draskh1    53:12 | For the blazing fire that came 09Draskh1    53:12 | death, continued (to scourge us) for a period of seven years 09Draskh1    53:12 | a period of seven years. For this reason, those of us 09Draskh1    53:14 | their possessions little by little for their daily subsistence, and ultimately 09Draskh1    53:15 | forced to turn to herbs for food because of hunger, and 09Draskh1    53:15 | certain other harmful plants, perished.

How could 09Draskh1    54:11 | For if you are thus of 09Draskh1    54:13 | we shall grant them remission for their sinful animosity, which they 09Draskh1    54:18 | For I saw beauty departed from 09Draskh1    54:18 | of Taron, where in return for the agonies that I suffered 09Draskh1    54:21 | also joined them and waited for God to send peace 09Draskh1    54:22 | sever his ties with Yusuf, for this reason they (Gagik and 09Draskh1    54:26 | this life, true peace-makers for all of us that exist 09Draskh1    54:27 | Yet, She exists and remains for the love of the glory 09Draskh1    54:32 | God.

For several days he fought in 09Draskh1    55:30 | Then, for about two months almost as 09Draskh1    55:33 | immediately because of his fear for his family, he received him 09Draskh1    56:1 | promises of services, he asked for permission from the Emperor to 09Draskh1    56:2 | request of Ashot, and prepared for him many valuable gifts, great 09Draskh1    56:8 | in spiteful grudge and jealousy. For this reason, each one individually 09Draskh1    57:1 | Georgian, that is, ’three arrows’. For his father had reduced the 09Draskh1    57:3 | very small amount of provisions for the soldiers there, he sent 09Draskh1    57:3 | would be able to provide for their livelihood, until he returned 09Draskh1    57:9 | Almost no one escaped, save for Vasak, who took refuge with 09Draskh1    57:10 | they carry out this task, for like Gideon’s cake of barley 09Draskh1    58:2 | For this reason, seeking to arouse 09Draskh1    58:4 | the son of king Smbat for the deadly perfidy that he 09Draskh1    58:6 | they spread their way poverty for themselves. Thus, for a period 09Draskh1    58:6 | way poverty for themselves. Thus, for a period of two years 09Draskh1    58:7 | As for myself, I cried ’woe unto 09Draskh1    58:7 | I cried ’woe unto me’, for I often was forced to 09Draskh1    58:8 | royal crown and valuable ornaments for robes, both beautiful and becoming 09Draskh1    58:9 | of the city of Dvin, for the other king, who was 09Draskh1    59:10 | back, and cauterized his eyes; for he whose blindness is by 09Draskh1    59:11 | greatly, as it was befitting for kings, and bestowed on them 09Draskh1    59:13 | friendship, and having laid snares for him, they suddenly attacked with 09Draskh1    59:17 | apprehensive of the king, asked for a solemn oath, so that 09Draskh1    59:19 | were full of cunning advice. For this reason, Ashot bound him 09Draskh1    59:20 | terms and upbraided him greatly for breaking his oath, and seizing 09Draskh1    59:20 | he had delayed the matter for a few days, he consented 09Draskh1    59:21 | did not pursue this matter for the time being (for the 09Draskh1    59:21 | matter for the time being ( for the following reason: I was 09Draskh1    60:1 | him king over the Armenians for the third time, bestowed on 09Draskh1    60:5 | respectively levied soldiers and prepared for war against one another. Thereafter 09Draskh1    60:6 | nobility admonished both of them for their arrogance and selfishness, and 09Draskh1    60:14 | sought terms of peace. As for the destruction and devastation that 09Draskh1    60:14 | land, they agreed to pay for it twice as much as 09Draskh1    60:21 | at my hands, in return for which you deemed me worthy 09Draskh1    60:21 | anxious to shed my blood for no reason at all 09Draskh1    60:28 | amends to me, O Lord, for my wickedness and deception. On 09Draskh1    60:28 | by this, then compensate him for his wickedness, and save me 09Draskh1    60:30 | oldest, was at fault except for two people, namely prince Sahak 09Draskh1    61:8 | opened negotiations with the latter for terms of submission 09Draskh1    62:6 | While prince Gurgen made preparations for war against the men of 09Draskh1    62:7 | to the fortress and waited for the opportune time 09Draskh1    63:3 | promoting and preparing suitable conditions for peace, and that I might 09Draskh1    63:7 | from that very same region. For ( the governor of the land 09Draskh1    63:7 | nicknamed him C’lik (‘Little Bull’) for his robust physique, and whom 09Draskh1    63:9 | the fortress of Tawush ready for immediate use, he placed his 09Draskh1    63:10 | that would help him except for a very small number of 09Draskh1    63:16 | their thirst, or obtain straw for the steeds. The entire army 09Draskh1    63:21 | on people). It was perhaps for this reason that he brought 09Draskh1    64:1 | the benefit of the people. For he strove heartily to keep 09Draskh1    64:5 | He acted accordingly for many years, so that the 09Draskh1    64:6 | confronted by a great confusion, for rebellious adversaries appeared in the 09Draskh1    64:6 | on the tyrant in retaliation for the distress that he had 09Draskh1    64:16 | within the confines of Korduk’ for a few days, the ostikan 09Draskh1    64:17 | gave him copious gratuities. As for the taxes that remained unpaid 09Draskh1    64:19 | had devised (in his mind) for king Gagik, like an Indian 09Draskh1    64:19 | sent envoys to the king for an immediate and compassionate reconciliation 09Draskh1    64:20 | he demanded the royal tributes for many years, as well as 09Draskh1    64:20 | as well as personal gratuities for himself. He also reminded Gagik 09Draskh1    64:20 | gratitude that he owed him for his coronation, and gave him 09Draskh1    64:21 | that there was no reason for him to be prone to 09Draskh1    64:22 | cause carnage in vindictive retaliation, for he maintained that “the outcome 09Draskh1    64:24 | as he himself was headed for the great city of Ray 09Draskh1    65:1 | of Naxjawan, where he remained for a number of days, as 09Draskh1    65:3 | For the time being, Nasr cunningly 09Draskh1    65:3 | to grant him his inheritance.

For this reason, they did not 09Draskh1    66:56 | as well as the fodder for the numerous animals. They took 09Draskh1    66:60 | them go wherever they wanted, for the prayers of the blessed 09Draskh1    66:63 | heaven: “It is not lawful for us Christians to forsake the 09Draskh1    66:65 | that he might repay them for their favor, and relieve them 09Draskh1    66:66 | to receive rewards in recompensation for their services, but he immediately 09Draskh1    66:66 | in agony, and all hope for life was lost to them 09Draskh1    67:3 | of forces, and set out for the district of Mazaz built 09Draskh1    67:4 | putting them to the sword, for the entire land was in 09Draskh1    67:6 | was suddenly seized with fear, for there were no more than 09Draskh1    67:10 | After halting for many days, he led a 09Draskh1    67:13 | and tried to take vengeance for it by marching directly upon 09Draskh1    67:14 | he could not do anything, for the aforementioned Georg, about whose 09Draskh1    67:17 | his friendship, and generous bounties for all of my needs. Subsequently 09Draskh1    67:18 | For the patriarchal residence together with 09Draskh1    67:18 | new Sion from her captivity; for the total number of the 09Draskh1    67:20 | would be mindful of peace for the entire land and concerned 09Draskh1    67:22 | considered that the proper thing for him to do was either 09Draskh1    67:28 | reap us with shadowy siege, for if in accordance with the 09Draskh1    67:28 | that the Creator had designed for us we had directed our 09Draskh1    67:30 | Lord was distorted within ourselves, for these reasons the enemies of 09Draskh1    68:2 | with terror, shuddered and trembled, for the Lord sharpened his eyes 09Draskh1    68:2 | sharpened his eyes upon us for our iniquity 09Draskh1    68:7 | henceforth I shall offer prayers for you who read (this book 09Draskh1    68:8 | to my supplications and advice for unanimity; that you become children 09Draskh1    68:10 | holy torch is brightly ablaze for those who are alert and 09Draskh1    68:14 | pride in ancestral virtues sufficient for you lest by confiding in 09Draskh1    68:14 | and sink into abysmal depths. For if the father steered the 09Draskh1    68:14 | they perish in a shipwreck? For this reason I do not 09Draskh1    68:22 | your holy and pious prayers. For on the last day of 10Tovma1    1:0 | I expended in the search for what is reliable, perusing the 10Tovma1    1:1 | all accounts, the next task for us is to set down 10Tovma1    1:1 | books, there is no need for us to repeat that at 10Tovma1    1:3 | suggestions from other critical works for comparison, so that by your 10Tovma1    1:5 | Sem’s lot, Nebrot’ seized it for himself by force and established 10Tovma1    1:7 | to pass over the reason for this enquiry. (Rather we should 10Tovma1    1:8 | For, as has been written, Asur 10Tovma1    1:8 | of Assyria. This is confirmed for us by Eusebius of Caesarea 10Tovma1    1:8 | known from the established account. For the story runs like this 10Tovma1    1:10 | family of Zrvan and seized for himself the kingdom, he did 10Tovma1    1:11 | line took her to wife, for Shamiram was ensconced in their 10Tovma1    1:11 | it was not the custom for the female line to be 10Tovma1    1:13 | Mary, as I mentioned above. For it was not the custom 10Tovma1    1:20 | the movement of the sun for identical periods of months and 10Tovma1    1:21 | For although their writings are unreliable 10Tovma1    1:21 | presume to boast of Ptolemy for having at some time collected 10Tovma1    1:21 | appear to have preceded him. For the Greek script was invented 10Tovma1    1:25 | little below the angels. As for ( Scripture) saying: “to till it 10Tovma1    1:26 | stupid. He was not content, for himself and his offspring, in 10Tovma1    1:26 | desired divine glory —to seize for himself in his effrontery even 10Tovma1    1:27 | husband in divine honour. Alas for this most false plan and 10Tovma1    1:27 | help he might be cared for 10Tovma1    1:28 | his wife not be blamed for accusing the serpent, who was 10Tovma1    1:29 | finding a source of blame for the penalty, which (was wrought 10Tovma1    1:30 | this (knowledge) became helpful counsel for man to incite elimination of 10Tovma1    1:31 | of Eden) and exchanged it for this laborious and painful lot 10Tovma1    1:31 | and his posterity as inheritance for his sons a life of 10Tovma1    1:33 | said he was his son, for he would see with his 10Tovma1    1:34 | Now as for the saying: “Anyone who kills 10Tovma1    1:34 | the overplus of rebuke, suitable for righteous judgment, then likewise it 10Tovma1    1:34 | this seems good to anyone. For did by a series of 10Tovma1    1:42 | and the multiplication of humanity. For Adam had many other sons 10Tovma1    1:42 | legitimate father of the world. For only of him does (Scripture 10Tovma1    1:42 | and again: “God raised up for me another son in place 10Tovma1    1:43 | was he emboldened to this? For he learned from his father 10Tovma1    1:44 | father Adam died, having lived for [930] years. So, God gave the 10Tovma1    1:44 | of righteousness and patience, not for themselves alone, but also for 10Tovma1    1:44 | for themselves alone, but also for all mankind; sincerely to acknowledge 10Tovma1    1:44 | to establish also natural laws for men, that like themselves others 10Tovma1    1:45 | sons what they had received for safekeeping; whence this heritage has 10Tovma1    1:45 | this heritage has been preserved for us in successive descent.

So God 10Tovma1    1:56 | temporarily postponed the threatened punishment for a hundred years in his 10Tovma1    1:57 | of everyone near and far for the terror and admonition of 10Tovma1    1:58 | and delayed the right compensation for the lovers of evil. As 10Tovma1    1:60 | Oh command of frightful anger for his last moment. Oh fearsome 10Tovma1    1:60 | foundation of heaven and earth.

Oh, his incessant love for man, which is still said 10Tovma1    1:65 | This seems to me plausible. For after the flood the patriarch 10Tovma1    1:66 | But as for those who joined in building 10Tovma1    1:66 | worthy of care that vengeance for their blood was taken from 10Tovma1    1:68 | says that out of respect for his affection, Sem took the 10Tovma1    1:70 | every breathing and living creature; for a whole year the earth 10Tovma1    1:75 | the word which he commanded for a thousand years 10Tovma1    1:76 | the lot of your inheritance.” For to Ham were given by 10Tovma1    1:77 | flood during his sons’ lifetimes for [350] years down to the eighty 10Tovma1    2:2 | For they say that the first 10Tovma1    2:3 | bronze vessel fastened with lead for safekeeping in the city of 10Tovma1    2:4 | Hercules, the raving tyrant who ( for) his warlike deeds at Troy 10Tovma1    2:4 | world conqueror Alexander of Macedon; for the latter through the deceit 10Tovma1    2:5 | arm and his massive stature; for they say that his height 10Tovma1    2:6 | also the Babylonians claimed marvels for Bel: that in one night 10Tovma1    2:6 | of flour and forty sheep. For that reason the king said 10Tovma1    2:8 | rebellion against God and grief for the holy angels, the cause 10Tovma1    2:8 | the cause of perilous death for the servants of God in 10Tovma1    2:8 | time to make worthy excuse for the people of that time 10Tovma1    2:8 | of food were stored up for Bel’s furnace, would not then 10Tovma1    2:8 | then his excretions be profitable for the glory of the Babylonians 10Tovma1    2:9 | mouth what he has swallowed.” For certain phantoms and shadows of 10Tovma1    2:11 | deceitful demons—but he showed for worship (a statue) made by 10Tovma1    2:11 | or Aran, son of Taray; for these are said to have 10Tovma1    2:12 | raging pride he gave orders for a senseless cooperation on a 10Tovma1    2:15 | in the house of Sem.” For eastern Asia was the lot 10Tovma1    2:16 | But these are vain words; for the great orator Moses expatiates 10Tovma1    2:16 | of the borders of Egypt. For Kush son of Ham is 10Tovma1    3:3 | original hero and first king. For, gathering the books of the 10Tovma1    3:4 | Asia and Libya except only for India. He also restored to 10Tovma1    3:5 | with great valour and bravery for fifty-two years 10Tovma1    3:8 | expounded by others. She reigned for forty-two years 10Tovma1    3:9 | He reigned over Assyria, and for a while also over Armenia 10Tovma1    3:10 | himself in order once and for all to separate the Persians 10Tovma1    3:11 | him, he gave him power for a thousand years. After a 10Tovma1    3:11 | he said to his brother: “ For a thousand years I have 10Tovma1    3:13 | Now as for whoever might think Zradasht’s teachings 10Tovma1    3:14 | stones over it, and waited for evening in order to remove 10Tovma1    3:15 | found it bad and spoiled; for lizards and spotted lizards and 10Tovma1    3:15 | slaughter, because they became harmful for the deity 10Tovma1    3:16 | legislated. And it was not for frivolous reasons that we resolved 10Tovma1    3:21 | a very extensive plain, stretching for a great distance, level, not 10Tovma1    3:21 | enclosed by any boundary, impossible for the eyes to take in 10Tovma1    3:22 | inhabited by the first man. For in truth paradise was physical 10Tovma1    3:27 | but (marched) through gloomy weather for ten days. Then we arrived 10Tovma1    3:30 | regard to call them angels. For rational (beings) are seen under 10Tovma1    3:33 | and kept most of it for himself. And they say Hephaistos 10Tovma1    3:34 | is part of a god? For sparks of it are produced 10Tovma1    3:36 | someone might propose the reason for this ignorance. But the divine 10Tovma1    3:37 | things visible comprehend their architect. “ For invisible, divine (things),” he says 10Tovma1    3:38 | naturally moved by something else. For a body is not self 10Tovma1    3:39 | someone and not by many. For if it was moved by 10Tovma1    3:39 | moves it has limitless power. For if he had limited power 10Tovma1    3:40 | clear that he is uncreated. For the created is from matter 10Tovma1    3:42 | the grease of a corpse for some exterior purpose, but not 10Tovma1    3:42 | some exterior purpose, but not for food 10Tovma1    4:2 | tax, (ruling) with peaceful life for thirty-eight years.

He had reigned for eighteen years. Then they themselves 10Tovma1    5:3 | mounted warriors to aid Tigran. For Cyrus and Tigran had become 10Tovma1    5:4 | informed him of Ashdahak’s plans. For the sons of Senek’erim were 10Tovma1    5:9 | after the battle had lasted for a long time. King Cyrus 10Tovma1    5:10 | For the Lydian king had covered 10Tovma1    5:14 | For a wild barbarian race has 10Tovma1    5:15 | spot. There they gave battle for not a few days, about 10Tovma1    6:20 | the powerful generals of Alexander for a long time, amazing their 10Tovma1    6:21 | valour—which is more appropriate for the effeminate—even if they 10Tovma1    6:22 | a gift from the king. For although Alexander was full of 10Tovma1    6:22 | had a liberal stipend arranged for him until he himself should 10Tovma1    6:23 | As for Vahagn Haykazean, who was Asud’s 10Tovma1    6:23 | died in Babylon, having lived for thirty-three years and reigning 10Tovma1    6:23 | thirty-three years and reigning for twelve 10Tovma1    6:24 | He controlled the whole world for seven years. On his death 10Tovma1    6:24 | and fearlessly, appointed four generals for the four regions of the 10Tovma1    6:24 | regions of the world: Ptolemy for Egypt and India; Seleucus for 10Tovma1    6:24 | for Egypt and India; Seleucus for Asia and all the North 10Tovma1    6:24 | and all the North; Antipater for Persia and all the East 10Tovma1    6:25 | Ptolemy held Jerusalem and Judaea for twelve years; many of them 10Tovma1    6:28 | dare reveal it to Alexander. For Alexander had never allowed anyone 10Tovma1    6:30 | titles, positions, and ranks. As for the descendants of Asud, of 10Tovma1    6:31 | Elamites.

For Gurgēn was still recovering from 10Tovma3    14:37 | of the land to Gurgēn, for this was a convenient opportunity 10Tovma3    14:38 | He did not seek vengeance for the blood of his father 10Tovma3    14:40 | out a crime against himself, for which he will pay retribution 10Tovma3    14:41 | doing him no harm save for the bonds in which he 10Tovma3    14:41 | had fettered him, as compensation for his goodness.

For this reason, God loved (David 12Last1    10:9 | subject to the governing authorities.
