01Kor1    1:2|I had been thinking of the God

01Kor1    2:10|Raab the evildoer which she had shown to the spies. However
01Kor1    2:18|and after the promise he had received, related to him what
01Kor1    2:21|noble deeds of those who had come before
01Kor1    2:22|faith of the others who had come nigh unto the truth
01Kor1    2:26|As for Paul, who had determined to spread the luminous
01Kor1    2:27|loftiness of the grace which had been bestowed for his faith
01Kor1    2:28|elect?” And the blessed apostles had received from the Lord permission
01Kor1    3:2|From childhood he had been tutored in Greek literature
01Kor1    6:5|of noble lineage, who unexpectedly had come into the possession of
01Kor1    6:10|And when many of them had been taught, the King commanded
01Kor1    9:2|the alphabet to those who had received him earlier. Whereupon from
01Kor1    9:5|For as the man who had seen God descended from the
01Kor1    9:5|having turned away from Providence, had become abject God-forsakers and
01Kor1    9:6|written did not act as had transpired there; on the contrary
01Kor1    9:7|and Moses the magnificent, who had spoken with God
01Kor1    11:2|especially since they had before their eyes the Lord’s
01Kor1    11:2|well as similar commands which had been given to other prophets
01Kor1    11:7|eyes! For a land which had not known even the name
01Kor1    11:7|all those wonderful divine acts had been performed
01Kor1    11:8|were, not only those that had transpired in time, but that
01Kor1    11:8|that of the eternity which had preceded, and those that had

01Kor1    12:4|deeming those of us who had completed their training as qualified

01Kor1    15:8|And when he had organized the work of God’s
01Kor1    15:8|the Armenians, recounted all that had transpired and together they glorified
01Kor1    16:1|to visit the places he had organized and the districts in
01Kor1    16:1|the districts in Armenia that had been taught, in order to

01Kor1    16:3|for his good works which had reached there long before, from
01Kor1    16:14|his teaching, educating those who had been gathered

01Kor1    17:8|whose name was Jonathan, who had shown much eagerness for his

01Kor1    21:3|and he saved many who had been imprisoned and in chains
01Kor1    22:18|the worship of God, as had done the prophets who in
01Kor1    22:18|and deserts and in caverns had devoted themselves to the service
01Kor1    22:19|them. Thus, the blessed one had assumed this honored tradition, and
01Kor1    23:2|Synodical fathers of the church had informed Sahak and Mashtots, the
01Kor1    24:2|of Navasard, even as they had been commemorating the birthday of

02Agat1    1:4|although Xosrov had learned early about the misfortune
02Agat1    1:5|experienced great sorrow, since he had not managed to do anything
02Agat1    1:5|because of the way things had gone, he turned back and
02Agat1    1:10|exact vengeance on those who had deposed from power his own
02Agat1    1:13|his own clansmen, his kinfolk, had submitted to serving and supporting
02Agat1    1:13|of the Stahrite Sasanian and had united with him Artashir
02Agat1    1:14|Moreover, Xosrov had sent emissaries for the Persians
02Agat1    1:15|requests. This was because they had united with, accepted, and submitted
02Agat1    1:16|as well as those who had come from various places to
02Agat1    1:23|of all the loot he had amassed and gifted the most
02Agat1    2:1|of troops, the same he had summoned previously and many more
02Agat1    2:2|troops of the Tachiks Arabs had come to his aid. After
02Agat1    2:4|saw all these evils which had descended upon him, he became
02Agat1    2:13|Armenian areas, as though they had revolted against the king of
02Agat1    2:17|king saw this man who had come to him with his

02Agat1    7:8|For if we had observed your commandment, Lord, and
02Agat1    7:8|observed your commandment, Lord, and had kept the command which you

02Agat1    7:11|so, if we had observed your commandment, you would

02Agat1    7:16|which you in your mercy had granted mankind who lost them
02Agat1    7:17|But since your divinity had compassion on the weakness of
02Agat1    7:36|the prophet, before the time had come for your Son Jesus
02Agat1    7:58|But you had mercy on your creatures, lest

02Agat1    10:4|futile hope in which you had confidence did not save you

02Agat1    11:16|been let down there, all had died due to the horribly
02Agat1    11:17|Indeed, that place had been constructed specifically for criminals
02Agat1    12:1|lands of his realm. It had this import
02Agat1    12:16|districts of his realm. It had this content: “Trdatios, king of
02Agat1    12:21|and severe punishments. Afterwards, I had him thrown into the incredibly
02Agat1    13:7|they found that the emperor had become a vessel of evil
02Agat1    13:7|as in the garden he had used the snake as a
02Agat1    13:7|woman [cf. Gen. 3], so here too he had used the lawless emperor as
02Agat1    13:11|of chastity into which they had entered, and lamented amongst themselves
02Agat1    13:11|them from the trial which had come upon them
02Agat1    13:26|and filthy men. Because they had prepared their bodies for prison
02Agat1    13:29|of the vineyard which structures had been built on the northeastern
02Agat1    13:29|shops in the city, but had no other source of income
02Agat1    15:3|the Armenians, those blessed martyrs had come and hidden themselves at
02Agat1    15:5|glorious light [cf. Matt. 5.15; Mk. 4.21; Lk. 8.16, 11.33]. As they too had asked in their earlier prayer
02Agat1    15:10|For there had been no small amount of
02Agat1    15:12|they were kept where they had been discovered, by a legion
02Agat1    15:15|the Almighty Lord, Who previously had saved them from the impious
02Agat1    15:15|at the lewd viewers who had gathered to look
02Agat1    15:16|many of the viewers who had come out to see her
02Agat1    15:19|king’s presence. For King Trdat had not yet beheld her. Based
02Agat1    15:19|her. Based on what they had told him about her beauty
02Agat1    15:23|of her Lord. For she had put on faith from the
02Agat1    15:25|saved your beloved Noah who had kept the command of your
02Agat1    15:27|shameful outrage and death [cf. Gen. 20]; who had mercy on your servant Isaac
02Agat1    16:1|Now when all this had taken place, the multitude of
02Agat1    16:1|servants from the royal court had come to convey her to
02Agat1    16:10|unbelievable evils and fears that had descended upon people. Many died
02Agat1    16:11|the king of all that had been said, since secretaries [nshanagirq] happened
02Agat1    16:15|But when they had shut her in the chamber
02Agat1    16:19|teeth, and rendered him who had been de-famed glorious in
02Agat1    16:20|fire the three children who had been thrown into the furnace
02Agat1    16:20|for they glorified you, who had seen your wonders
02Agat1    16:21|for your wonders which you had shown him; you changed him
02Agat1    17:1|entered the chamber where she had been shut up
02Agat1    17:3|her, lest the treasure she had preserved so carefully be lost
02Agat1    17:5|was defeated - he, whose strength had been regarded as unbelievable. While
02Agat1    17:5|land of the Greeks, he had displayed such strength and stamina
02Agat1    17:5|his own kingdom, when he had returned to his native patrimony
02Agat1    17:5|his native patrimony, he also had shown many deeds of manly
02Agat1    17:6|Now King Trdat, once he had been defeated, tired, and weakened
02Agat1    17:6|a collar around her neck, had the blessed Gayane led to
02Agat1    17:26|Now saint Gayane had said all this in the
02Agat1    17:27|heard and understood everything which had been said in the language
02Agat1    17:33|Even though Rhipsime’s own clothes had been torn to shreds by
02Agat1    17:36|press where their former retreat had been, and told the glad
02Agat1    17:37|kept firm the hope we had in you, and you have
02Agat1    17:45|from my youth I have had no desire at all for
02Agat1    17:45|for earthly life. Because I had regard for and faith in
02Agat1    18:7|saints, men and women, who had come with them, more than
02Agat1    18:11|in the vat-store, which had been their lodging-place, who
02Agat1    19:1|in the Greek Olympics he had seemed as strong as a
02Agat1    19:1|many deeds of prowess. He had waged no few battles beyond
02Agat1    19:3|about the wonderful Rhipsime who had no equal among women on
02Agat1    19:13|put to death, since she had dared to corrupt with her
02Agat1    19:13|her harmful advice her, who had the beauty of the gods
02Agat1    19:14|And her advice had displeased the gods, who had
02Agat1    19:14|had displeased the gods, who had given that girl such beauty
02Agat1    19:15|Gayane a wicked death. He had the prisoners removed in chains
02Agat1    19:15|accustomed to kill all who had been condemned to death, a
02Agat1    19:23|Now those who had once come with them from
02Agat1    19:23|land of the Romans and had arrived together in this land
02Agat1    20:1|decided to go hunting. He had all his troops gather the
02Agat1    20:2|However, when the king had mounted his cart and wanted
02Agat1    20:5|power of the demons who had taken him over
02Agat1    20:6|people in the city, similarly, had gone crazy through demonic possession
02Agat1    20:16|Now as soon as Otay had reached the city of Artashat
02Agat1    20:19|of the vision and what had happened
02Agat1    20:23|They saw that his body had darkened and was black as
02Agat1    20:31|make inquiries, asking where they had put the bodies of the
02Agat1    20:35|from the places where they had been killed, for they were
02Agat1    20:36|they saw that their bodies had been preserved through the power
02Agat1    20:36|nine days and nine nights had passed since their bodies had
02Agat1    20:36|had passed since their bodies had been lying there out in
02Agat1    20:36|outside and near the city - had approached, no bird had damaged
02Agat1    20:36|city - had approached, no bird had damaged them. And their bodies
02Agat1    20:37|king or the other people had brought. Instead, each saint was
02Agat1    20:38|to the wine press which had been their dwelling, and made
02Agat1    22:1|When blessed Gregory had said all this, they all
02Agat1    22:7|all these words that they had spoken before him, he wept
02Agat1    22:10|this have happened, unless God had given the right of victory
02Agat1    22:13|from you, especially if I had been commanded by God
02Agat3    2:7|Men, women and children had gathered from each one’s province
02Agat3    3:1|healing from the torments which had fallen on them as punishment
02Agat3    3:1|them as punishment, because they had been struck in a just
02Agat3    3:2|Especially the king, because he had been changed into the form
02Agat3    3:2|pig. For his whole body had become hairy, and on his
02Agat3    3:2|and on his limbs, bristles had grown like those of great
02Agat3    3:2|of his hands and feet had hardened like the claws of
02Agat3    3:3|the appearance of his face had turned into the likeness of
02Agat3    3:3|his way of life he had fallen from the honor of
02Agat3    3:4|Gregory, the confessor of Christ, had come forth from the dungeon
02Agat3    3:7|And they had just enough healing to be
02Agat3    3:9|for healing - because the king had lost his natural human form
02Agat3    4:29|And the man, who had earlier called my name and
02Agat3    4:71|same side from which they had passed means that in times
02Agat3    4:76|you, where the fiery column had its base of gold, and
02Agat3    4:78|When he had said this there was an
02Agat3    5:11|Rhipsime the san (“protégé,” “tutee”) had been martyred with thirty-two
02Agat3    5:12|her guardian, and two companions had been martyred
02Agat3    5:13|the vineyard where their residence had been

02Agat3    6:2|coffins and then, as they had been commanded, they brought before
02Agat3    7:1|was like a snout; he had big tusks like a huge
02Agat3    7:2|head, wearing a hairshirt he had donned - and presenting quite a
02Agat3    8:2|Xosroviduxt, put the earth which had been excavated into their garments
02Agat3    8:3|where their blessed martyrs’ blood had been shed, by the place
02Agat3    8:7|to the chapels, since he had a giant’s strength, like Hayk
02Agat3    8:8|for the thoughtless battle he had fought with the saint in
02Agat3    8:10|When the builders had completed three blessed chapels, they
02Agat3    8:13|of the sole martyr who had been slain at the wine
02Agat3    8:14|to their own dwellings, which had been built as resting-places
02Agat3    8:15|in the vision which earlier had appeared to Gregory
02Agat3    8:20|went to the place which had been revealed by the fiery
02Agat3    8:21|worship of vain idols, which had been made by hand, and
02Agat3    9:1|Now when they had assembled in the place of
02Agat3    9:3|thick, bristle-like hair which had attached to his skin, also
02Agat3    9:9|For the country, which previously had been ignorant even of the
02Agat3    9:9|all the divine miracles which had occurred in foreign places, now
02Agat3    9:11|thronged to this fountain which had opened, this source of the
02Agat3    10:6|here that demons appeared which had taken the forms of a
02Agat3    10:6|and fought with those who had arrived. From the height of
02Agat3    10:13|Meanwhile, the people who had come there demolished the foundations
02Agat3    11:5|the residents of Daranaghiq also had been confirmed in the faith
02Agat3    11:11|Those who had arrived, the converted troops, saint
02Agat3    12:5|about all the miracles God had visited upon him and the
02Agat3    14:11|But then he had mercy on us at the
02Agat3    14:16|And we have had sent to you the holy
02Agat3    15:6|them of what wonders God had wrought, and gave the king’s
02Agat3    15:8|great honor to those who had arrived, receiving them with great
02Agat3    15:9|name of martyr which he had received
02Agat3    16:1|As soon as they had reached the borders of the

02Agat3    16:6|When they had arrived at a distance of
02Agat3    17:2|go inside, since the demons had concealed the entrances from them
02Agat3    17:2|to tell Gregory everything that had happened
02Agat3    17:6|seemed as though nothing ever had been present there
02Agat3    17:11|who were with him and had accompanied him to the city
02Agat3    17:12|of the saints which he had built, and offered the liturgy
02Agat3    18:1|King Trdat heard that Gregory had arrived at the country of
02Agat3    18:4|mass of common folk, who had gathered from various places. They

02Agat3    19:1|and also, because the travelers had arrived in Armenia illuminated, and
02Agat3    19:4|With his companions that he had brought thence he imposed on
02Agat3    19:6|home to the relics he had of the saints’ bones
02Agat3    20:8|become like the angels. They had received the title of God’s
02Agat3    20:8|the title of God’s adoption [cf. Rom. 8.15, etc.], had entered the heritage of the
02Agat3    21:3|the martyrs whose relics he had brought, declaring as a major
02Agat3    22:6|here that the divine commands had begun, where he had first
02Agat3    22:6|commands had begun, where he had first seen the vision and
02Agat3    22:6|the blessed martyrs of God had been buried, and where he
02Agat3    22:6|been buried, and where he had erected in their martyria altars
02Agat3    22:6|saints. In Vagharshapat, also, Gregory had built a house of God
02Agat3    22:6|earlier vision, and where he had built a church to Christ
02Agat3    22:7|in the places where he had destroyed the temples earlier, and
02Agat3    25:7|and trampling him down. He had made a rule for himself

02Agat3    25:9|named Aristakes who, from childhood had been brought up in the

02Agat3    25:10|in the mountains and who had undertaken many different types of
02Agat3    26:5|saint Gregory that - because he had not agreed to stay and
02Agat3    26:5|his son, Aristakes, whom Trdat had brought along
02Agat3    26:8|around to the places he had put in order and the

02Agat3    28:18|land, how pleasing their life had been and how they were
02Agat3    28:24|brought there the gifts which had been given to them as

02Agat3    29:4|blessed katoghikos the traditions he had brought
02Agat3    29:12|For in particular they had the commandments of the divinely
02Agat3    29:13|Apostles, following the commands he had received year by year until

03Buz3    3:5|altars (idols) of the temples had been destroyed
03Buz3    3:7|the same places which previously had been the sites of the
03Buz3    3:7|images of idols but subsequently had been sanctified in the name
03Buz3    3:8|memory of the saints who had been there, on the seventh
03Buz3    3:11|Those people who had retained the old pagan worship
03Buz3    3:11|in secret until that time, had assembled together some [2000] of them
03Buz3    3:12|The king’s wife had encouraged them somewhat in this

03Buz3    4:6|They ridiculed the man who had been sent to them, dispatched
03Buz3    5:1|chief-priest Gregory. Aristakes, who had been a pure celibate from
03Buz3    5:2|Vrtanes had been married, but was childless
03Buz3    5:11|It was the king who had forced him as a lad
03Buz3    5:11|since in the future he had to provide principal shepherds who
03Buz3    5:12|wife bore twins as he had forseen in the vision; they
03Buz3    5:13|evil thing, but rather, he had doubts because of the vision
03Buz3    5:13|because of the vision he had seen, wondering why such despicable

03Buz3    9:2|royal tun which he himself had supported
03Buz3    10:2|for after the flood it had rested on this mountain. Everything
03Buz3    10:4|from the spot where he had placed his head a fountain
03Buz3    10:11|want to say that he had a less significant thing than
03Buz3    10:18|and as a man who had spoken with God
03Buz3    10:21|For he had heard that Manachirh was a

03Buz3    11:4|for many times the Lord had saved the Armenians through him
03Buz3    11:14|canon that the people who had been slain for the salvation
03Buz3    11:16|General Vache had a son who was a

03Buz3    12:13|to the point that he had no equal throughout the country
03Buz3    12:21|From his youth onward, he had his patrimonial wisdom, the dignity

03Buz3    13:9|any bit of what they had heard

03Buz3    18:7|children, caught in the scandal, had found refuge by fleeing to
03Buz3    18:10|Although the Mamikoneans had been raising Arshak, the king’s
03Buz3    19:3|church which their grandfather, Gregory, had built
03Buz3    19:8|of approaching the door which had remained open when they fled

03Buz3    20:26|kept concealed the enmity he had within him, artificially veiling it

03Buz3    20:29|with a dense brigade - he had some [3000] arms-bearing men with

03Buz3    21:3|of Byzantium, presented the hrovartak, had the gifts brought forth, and
03Buz3    21:5|an oath and confirmed which had existed between the emperor Constantine
03Buz3    21:6|Now while the emissaries who had gone to the imperial palace
03Buz3    21:6|from the country of Armenia had not yet returned to their
03Buz3    21:10|namely Arshawir and Andovk, who had previously gone to him as
03Buz3    21:20|and reveal how this war had started
03Buz3    21:21|was plainly revealed that it had arisen over an insignificant matter
03Buz3    21:21|that the frenzied Shapuh Varaz had stirred up the disturbance over
03Buz3    21:24|He himself regretted what had happened and sent honorable princes
03Buz3    21:30|When he had sent them to Armenia, he
03Buz3    21:30|then dispatched those emissaries who had come to him from the
03Buz3    21:30|tell the emperor that he had implemented his commands, and so
03Buz3    21:30|emperor would return what he had captured from the king of
03Buz3    21:31|this, that the Iranian king had done all he had commanded
03Buz3    21:31|king had done all he had commanded, returning the Armenian captives
03Buz3    21:33|and with them, all that had been captured
03Buz4    2:1|Mamikonean braves, especially since they had been his dayeaks and nourishers
03Buz4    2:2|period of Tiran’s madness, they had split and broken with communication
03Buz4    2:4|grandee nahapets were returned as had been the case under former
03Buz4    2:6|renewed and clarified, as it had been previously: each of the
03Buz4    3:1|in one united assembly. They had assembled to ponder and take
03Buz4    3:6|leading a lay life, he had married. From childhood he had
03Buz4    3:6|had married. From childhood he had been nourished and educated in
03Buz4    3:9|He had the fear of God in
03Buz4    3:10|Similarly, in military matters he had a perfectly virtuous behavior. From
03Buz4    3:17|sins which he in fact had not committed
03Buz4    3:20|But since Nerses had no other way of answering
03Buz4    3:24|his attractive, curly locks which had no equal be sheared, and
03Buz4    3:25|aged bishop, named Pawstos, and had him ordain Nerses into the
03Buz4    3:26|wept at how his beauty had been altered
03Buz4    3:27|to God the benevolent, he had been called to be the

03Buz4    3:30|With the expectation he had, he had been crucified with
03Buz4    3:30|the expectation he had, he had been crucified with Christ, buried
03Buz4    3:30|the love of faith he had died for sins, and awaited
03Buz4    3:33|God. For regarding him, it had been said to his ancestors
03Buz4    4:27|Armenia; where his fathers before had sown the preaching of the
03Buz4    4:32|Ashtishat, where the first church had been built, for that was
03Buz4    4:51|the poor that although he had built all the poor-houses
03Buz4    4:56|to life this woman who had departed this life and died
03Buz4    4:59|regarding the wealthy man [mecatun], who had fulfilled all the commandments, but
03Buz4    4:69|of his life. And he had no equal ever in the
03Buz4    5:5|it happened that the emperor had an only child who had
03Buz4    5:5|had an only child who had become severely ill, and the
03Buz4    5:13|his parent and by nature had the very form of his
03Buz4    5:22|from the Virgin that we had, God was born as a

03Buz4    5:86|the flocks scattered because they had no leader, and there were
03Buz4    5:88|As for those princes who had accompanied the blessed Nerses from
03Buz4    5:89|blessed Nerses saying that he had killed his son
03Buz4    5:90|the king of Armenia who had been kept at the imperial
03Buz4    6:22|When they had eaten and were full, and
03Buz4    7:2|since the news had already spread throughout the country
03Buz4    7:9|at him as if he had descended from the very sky
03Buz4    8:12|The people who had been sent for him had
03Buz4    8:12|had been sent for him had just left and were still
03Buz4    9:6|silver left, and if anyone had it, then he would be
03Buz4    9:7|name of Christ what he had, willingly accepting this punishment
03Buz4    9:11|much gold and silver each had; they brought, filled the church
03Buz4    10:6|lie down. And before he had even fallen asleep, he saw
03Buz4    10:6|eyes that the chapel doors had opened and a great multitude
03Buz4    10:20|again that the chapel doors had opened, and the same martyrs
03Buz4    10:20|opened, and the same martyrs had gathered and filled the chapel
03Buz4    10:22|the work to which they had been sent, and entered the
03Buz4    10:31|was confirmed that the emperor had died
03Buz4    11:0|the Byzantine emperor Vaghes. They had been sent previously along with
03Buz4    11:1|following are the princes who had gone to Vaghes, the emperor
03Buz4    11:6|The emissaries who had left the emperor came to
03Buz4    11:7|For the emperor had written to Arshak, the king
03Buz4    11:7|blessed Nerses, saying that he had killed his only son, and
03Buz4    11:7|his only son, and therefore had been arrested. “And so that
03Buz4    12:0|Xad, whom the patriarch Nerses had left in his place; what
03Buz4    12:1|the village of Marag. He had been raised by the archbishop
03Buz4    12:4|their shepherd and leader, who had left them: in the different
03Buz4    12:7|as in his childhood he had acted in accordance with divine
03Buz4    12:9|districts of his authority and had it preached in every public
03Buz4    12:10|If they had shed blood, had committed a

03Buz4    12:10|blood, had committed a crime, had abducted a woman, or were
03Buz4    12:10|a woman, or were guilty, had taken another’s wealth, or were
03Buz4    12:12|When the royal command had gone forth, there assembled at

03Buz4    12:15|cannot be found. If they had existed and were lost, we
03Buz4    12:24|poor as the blessed Nerses had told him to
03Buz4    12:30|them, thanking the Lord Who had been so watchful as to
03Buz4    12:32|gave them the oxen they had stolen, and released them
03Buz4    12:33|many signs and miracles. Xad had two daughters
03Buz4    13:1|all the shepherding bishops who had been exiled returned and dwelled
03Buz4    13:2|the desert island where he had been detained. The entire land
03Buz4    13:2|detained. The entire land which had been requesting his return was
03Buz4    13:4|felt as though they themselves had been returned from captivity with
03Buz4    13:6|spiritual treasure and patriarch who had been established for them, would
03Buz4    13:10|Xad, and observed that he had stood for truth and propriety
03Buz4    13:10|found his spiritual son Xad had acted as he had wanted
03Buz4    13:10|Xad had acted as he had wanted, in accordance with his
03Buz4    13:11|of wickedness that the king had travelled, he was saddened and
03Buz4    13:11|city of Arshakawan, since it had been built with impiety, wickedness
03Buz4    13:24|days after the venerable Nerses had spoken these words the Lord

03Buz4    14:4|sephakan, as was natural; they had been stipulated as their’s privately
03Buz4    14:6|principality, the blessed katoghikos Nerses had also gone to that foremost
03Buz4    14:6|that foremost place where Gregory had built the first church and

03Buz4    14:17|ancient times Sanatruk the king had built the city named Mcurn
03Buz4    14:23|of the man of God had been fulfilled immediately. For no
03Buz4    15:6|After Tirit had attained his wish and had
03Buz4    15:6|had attained his wish and had seen Paranjem, he sought means
03Buz4    15:10|with such words until they had confirmed their statements in the
03Buz4    15:11|The king thus had a grudge against the lad
03Buz4    15:16|words of the slanderers, he had found no evil in you
03Buz4    15:19|great John the Baptist which had been designated by Gregory and
03Buz4    15:20|commemoration came lay people who had assembled, many bishops from different
03Buz4    15:20|to go and do what had to be done there
03Buz4    15:26|Now his wife had come in her husband’s battalion
03Buz4    15:27|When she saw that they had seized and bound him, she
03Buz4    15:30|chief priest, knowing that he had come to intercede for Gnel’s
03Buz4    15:44|the great chief-priest Nerses had said all this to the
03Buz4    15:45|They had taken the lad Gnel close
03Buz4    15:47|the nephew whom he himself had killed
03Buz4    15:51|Now Tirit who had plotted that vengeful treachery against
03Buz4    15:51|vengeful treachery against his harazat had done this because of Gnel’s
03Buz4    15:52|Now when the mourning had become more intense, Tirit was
03Buz4    15:55|me. For the one who had an eye on me had
03Buz4    15:55|had an eye on me had my husband killed
03Buz4    15:57|When this important circumstance had been openly revealed to everyone
03Buz4    15:59|heard this, he realized what had happened, investigated, and was stunned
03Buz4    15:60|and greatly regretting what he had done, saying: “Because Tirit was
03Buz4    15:60|blood through his abomination. He had his brother destroyed, and made
03Buz4    15:61|When the king had definitely confirmed and authenticated the

03Buz4    15:62|a goodly number of days had passed since the deed was
03Buz4    15:72|his first wife. Paranjem therefore had a grudge against Olympias and
03Buz4    16:6|drew the sword which he had at his waist and beheaded
03Buz4    16:13|preserve the intimate affection he had for him or remain true
03Buz4    16:15|Shapuh, the king of Iran, had Arshak, king of Armenia, swear
03Buz4    16:22|Gospel on which king Arshak had vowed should be bound with
03Buz4    18:5|with affection and believed what had been said
03Buz4    18:7|When the nahapet Vardan had come to Arshak, his younger
03Buz4    18:10|it was this Vardan who had treacherously, fraudulently, and with a
03Buz4    18:11|Because the woman had kept her grudge against Vardan
03Buz4    18:13|force of Vardan’s brother, he had come in peace. So Vasak’s
03Buz4    18:13|of the tent, since Vardan had pitched his tent in the
03Buz4    18:17|and the day of delivery had arrived
03Buz4    19:1|when the blessed archbishop Nerses had quit the royal banak, there
03Buz4    20:1|Previously when king Arshak had fled from king Shapuh and
03Buz4    20:12|saw that the Byzantine troops had already arrived and encamped in
03Buz4    20:13|while the Iranian troops had not yet come
03Buz4    20:17|them accomplish that which they had come to do, and let
03Buz4    20:38|time Andovk’s daughter, Paranjem who had been Gnel’s wife, was the
03Buz4    20:39|destroy the great affection which had blossomed between the two kings
03Buz4    20:41|the gold with which they had been bribed
03Buz4    20:45|words which the malefactor Andovk had put in his mouth, saying
03Buz4    20:47|he told them what he had just heard from that Iranian
03Buz4    20:50|then gave the Iranian who had told him many gifts of
03Buz4    20:54|to go and see what had occurred in the banak of
03Buz4    20:54|king of Armenia, that he had so delayed in coming to
03Buz4    20:55|without people, for the Armenians had left their pavilions, tents, canopies
03Buz4    20:55|and even their treasures. They had taken only their weapons, borne
03Buz4    20:56|Those who had gone to the banak returned
03Buz4    21:1|after king Arshak of Armenia had fled from king Shapuh of
03Buz4    21:8|For the emperor of Byzantium had become distressed, and in his
03Buz4    22:5|greatly hurried, the Iranian troops had already invaded the country of
03Buz4    22:8|of the Iranian fronts which had come as far as the
03Buz4    22:17|found king Shapuh himself who had come and encamped in the
03Buz4    22:19|other. Aside from Bagos, who had died in one of the
03Buz4    22:19|single one of the Armenians had been killed. Great assistance in
03Buz4    22:19|Great assistance in the victory had come from God
03Buz4    23:2|his own life, for he had been a believer in God
03Buz4    23:8|up the troops. He then had [10000] select, brave cavalrymen which he
03Buz4    23:9|the general of Armenia, Vasak, had massed troops and was coming
03Buz4    23:12|countless, immeasurable host, all who had been taken in captivity, Vasak
03Buz4    24:0|general of Armenia, freed what had been captured and defeated the
03Buz4    24:9|Arsacid kings, and many treasures had been stored and kept there
03Buz4    24:12|up, destroyed the walls, and had countless treasures lowered down from
03Buz4    24:18|bones of the dead kings had been seized from their own
03Buz4    24:20|found the Iranian troops which had encamped en masse in the
03Buz4    24:25|bones”. Vasak retrieved all that had been captured from the land
03Buz4    24:28|time too the malefactor Meruzhan had survived, fleeing along with the
03Buz4    31:1|of Iran before whom he had boasted, with [900000] troops
03Buz4    39:4|Only Meruzhan, who had come with them, fled
03Buz4    40:3|banak. But only Meruzhan, who had come as their guide, survived
03Buz4    44:0|was named Pap; how he had been filled with demons since
03Buz4    44:1|Arshak’s son, Pap, had been born of Paranjem from
03Buz4    44:1|of Paranjem from Siwnik who had previously been Gnel’s wife. King
03Buz4    44:6|When the lad Pap had gotten into bed and requested
03Buz4    44:10|own eyes that white snakes had wrapped around the feet of

03Buz4    50:12|apostasized the Christianity which he had held during his life, agreeing
03Buz4    50:12|the Christianity into which he had been born
03Buz4    50:14|him barj and patiw which had been theirs ancestrally, and the
03Buz4    53:4|of the Iranian kingdom, Shapuh had brought to him salt, to
03Buz4    53:9|and Arshak recognized that he had been acting guilty toward him
03Buz4    54:4|Ctesiphon and thought that they had duplicitiously made him swear and
03Buz4    54:20|days they brought what they had been sent for
03Buz4    54:27|floor where the Armenian soil had been spread
03Buz4    54:30|Then Arsak lamented what he had said, bowed, grabbed Shapuh’s feet
03Buz4    54:30|expiation apologized for what he had said
03Buz4    54:35|After everyone had been seated according to his
03Buz4    54:42|was upon us, and God had not forsaken us. While we
03Buz4    55:3|of the king of Iran had come and filled up the
03Buz4    55:8|the land of Armenia, but had gone to see the emperor
03Buz4    55:28|took [9000] households of Jews who had been brought into captivity from
03Buz4    55:30|When they had assembled all the captives taken
03Buz4    56:1|when all the Armenian captives had been taken to the country
03Buz4    56:16|When he had said all this, the crowded
03Buz4    56:16|this, the crowded crowd that had gathered note: Amen
03Buz4    56:17|executioners were angry that they had allowed him to talk for
03Buz4    57:1|troops under his authority. He had as guides Vahan, from the
03Buz4    57:4|women whom the Armenian naxarars had left when they fled, and
03Buz4    57:5|the city of Zarehawan which had been ruined previously by the
03Buz4    57:8|For he had pitched a tent near the
03Buz4    57:12|fortress-keepers with whom they had been left
03Buz4    58:1|two abominable and impious men, had rebelled from the oath of
03Buz4    58:3|women whom the fugitive naxarars had left and abandoned should be
03Buz4    58:6|Now Vahan had a half-sister of the
03Buz4    58:7|When Shapuh, king of Iran, had come to the country of
03Buz4    58:10|She had a white body and a
03Buz4    58:14|their own sephakan property and had their children and relatives’ study
03Buz5    1:2|all the calamitous events which had befallen the Armenians, and he
03Buz5    1:12|troops of the brigade. He had [10000] men available
03Buz5    1:19|secure fortresses which the Iranians had seized, including the Daroynk fortress
03Buz5    1:20|The fortress-keepers had remained loyal. For from the
03Buz5    1:20|country of Armenia; the treasure had been preserved and went to
03Buz5    1:24|the king of Iran. Mushegh had them arrested and had them
03Buz5    1:24|Mushegh had them arrested and had them flayed, stuffed with hay
03Buz5    1:27|most goodly religion, as it had been in the days of
03Buz5    2:6|and stuffed with hay. He had this brought to Pap, the
03Buz5    2:8|Shapuh of Iran. Rather he had palanquins prepared for all of
03Buz5    2:10|bravery and freedom that he had not perpetrated any insults on
03Buz5    2:11|At that time Mushegh had a white horse. So, when
03Buz5    2:12|He had a picture of Mushegh on
03Buz5    2:13|for those Armenian troops who had remained with king Pap, a
03Buz5    2:13|enormous amount of loot they had taken
03Buz5    3:1|about the way Hayr mardpet had insulted king Pap’s mother tikin
03Buz5    3:1|in the fortress. For Hayr had entered the fortress secretly and
03Buz5    3:3|As soon as Mushegh had this order in hand he
03Buz5    3:6|they noticed that his brain had oozed out of his nose
03Buz5    3:7|certain man named Dgghak, who, had been involved in the work
03Buz5    4:31|His holy Church, which He had received through His venerable blood
03Buz5    4:33|into battle. Now, lo, he had joined the Iranian troops and
03Buz5    4:55|During the battle, God’s aid had come to the Byzantines, and
03Buz5    4:64|adversary of yours whom he had seized, and allowed him to
03Buz5    5:15|As soon as they had rested a little, they would

03Buz5    5:21|emerge to fight, until they had wiped out the Aryan troops
03Buz5    6:16|the folds of his garments had buried them
03Buz5    7:6|He had, during the years of Tiran
03Buz5    7:7|whose occupant was called [hayr] (father) had been entrusted to eunuchs from
03Buz5    7:7|the prince of Angegh tun had been taken captive to the
03Buz5    7:7|that king Arshak of Armenia had been seized
03Buz5    7:16|for the bound Arshak who had formerly been the king of
03Buz5    7:21|But when Arshak had drunk the wine and become
03Buz5    8:0|began fighting against those who had rebelled against the king of
03Buz5    8:1|to strike at those who had rebelled from the Arsacid kingdom
03Buz5    9:1|the rebellious Noshirakan land, which had rebelled from the king of
03Buz5    10:1|Korduk, Kordik and Tmorik, which had rebelled from the king of
03Buz5    11:1|the Mark areas, since they had rebelled from the king of
03Buz5    13:2|districts from them, which they had taken from the Armenians: Uti
03Buz5    13:3|Aghuania and themselves, as it had been previously. He killed many

03Buz5    15:2|bdeashx of Gugark who previously had served the king of Armenia
03Buz5    15:2|the king of Armenia but had rebelled. He destroyed the males
03Buz5    15:3|naxarars in those parts who had rebelled from the king of
03Buz5    16:1|great blows, for they too had rebelled from the king of
03Buz5    17:1|invaded Greater Copk, since they had rebelled
03Buz5    19:1|surrounding it. For they too had rebelled from the Arsacid kingdom
03Buz5    22:5|Many dews had put their nest in him
03Buz5    24:3|he falsely pretended that he had come to the correct way
03Buz5    24:5|Now when Pap had seated Nerses in the foremost
03Buz5    24:5|for that meal. But he had mixed poison into the drinking
03Buz5    24:6|cup, he immediately sensed what had happened, and began to say
03Buz5    24:6|achieving the death which I had wanted from my childhood, for
03Buz5    24:14|for that is what I had been longing for. In goodness
03Buz5    24:19|and even those whom he had never known
03Buz5    24:22|of Xax, where the deed had been committed, to his own
03Buz5    24:24|was not, as though he had not committed that deed
03Buz5    25:1|of Anahit. Both of them had been students of the beloved
03Buz5    25:2|realized that the holy Nerses had died and that it was
03Buz5    25:2|it was his spirit which had appeared to him. Epipan, on
03Buz5    25:2|other hand, thought that Nerses had been taken corporally
03Buz5    25:3|before the people what they had seen
03Buz5    26:5|pulled out the reed that had settled in the wound, spat
03Buz5    26:14|to his request, as he had requested
03Buz5    26:16|find it anywhere, because he had asked God for it in
03Buz5    28:21|told the great miracle he had seen
03Buz5    29:2|place of the man he had killed. And he did
03Buz5    29:3|of Caesarea heard that they had slain the great patriarch Nerses
03Buz5    29:3|Nerses and in his place had established Yusik. This had been
03Buz5    29:3|place had established Yusik. This had been done without his command
03Buz5    29:3|without his command, for they had been accustomed to take the
03Buz5    29:5|ordain bishops for Armenia as had initially been the custom
03Buz5    30:1|After Pap had killed the blessed patriarch Nerses
03Buz5    31:0|the canonical rules which he had established
03Buz5    31:1|king of Armenia, although he had killed the patriarch of the
03Buz5    31:1|the correct arrangements which Nerses had introduced into the Church

03Buz5    32:11|King Pap thought that this had been done to honor him
03Buz5    32:17|one of the legionnaires who had killed the king
03Buz5    33:3|reached the conclusion that what had happened was past. “Let us

03Buz5    35:8|against king Pap until he had him killed

03Buz5    35:19|passed to the drinking and had passed the limit, but king
03Buz5    35:21|men to whom the order had been given, seized Mushegh, six
03Buz5    35:25|He had time to say this much
03Buz5    35:26|Saharhuni removed the sabre he had affixed to his thigh, and
03Buz5    36:1|When they had taken the body of sparapet

03Buz5    37:6|people whom the Iranian king had taken captive from Armenia were
03Buz5    37:9|his troops, only these two had survived
03Buz5    37:14|of the principality which he had received from king Varazdat, since
03Buz5    37:14|senior of the azg. Manuel had the patiw of the nahapetutiwn
03Buz5    37:15|Once Manuel had come into the glory of
03Buz5    37:15|himself in an office which had been held naturally by his
03Buz5    37:15|the start, which king Varazdat had bestowed on his dayeak, Bat
03Buz5    37:16|All the labors our azg had performed from the time of
03Buz5    37:24|Now when messengers had gone and come many times
03Buz5    37:37|plain, as did many who had been pierced and the seriously
03Buz5    37:37|the seriously wounded. Many naxarars had perished. Many of those fleeing
03Buz5    37:39|This Garegin had been the brother-in-law
03Buz5    37:40|But when king Shapuh had come to the country of
03Buz5    37:49|saw that the shield-bearers had dismounted and were guarding Garegin
03Buz5    37:53|along the many men they had arrested
03Buz5    37:54|seized Bat, the one who had slandered Mushegh to king Varazdat
03Buz5    37:56|in his presence, then he had Bat beheaded. He had others
03Buz5    37:56|he had Bat beheaded. He had others destroyed in a similar
03Buz5    38:2|the messages of obedience which had been sent
03Buz5    38:5|The Iranian king had Suren take a crown, a
03Buz5    38:9|for sparapet Manuel. They also had pargews for each of the
03Buz5    38:20|When Manuel believed what Meruzhan had told him as accurate, the
03Buz5    38:21|as the gossiping malefactor Meruzhan had said, suddenly the general of
03Buz5    38:23|Suren was surprised at what had happened, and wanted to know
03Buz5    38:24|Thereafter he knew that he had aroused great hostility and aggrevation
03Buz5    41:0|perished at Manuel’s hand, as had his predecessors
03Buz5    42:3|the tun of Siwnik who had survived the Iranian destruction came
03Buz5    43:1|of king Arshak, Meruzhan Arcruni had rebelled from the king of
03Buz5    43:1|from the king of Armenia, had voluntarily extended his hand to

03Buz5    43:5|could boast that he, personally, had concluded the war
03Buz5    43:11|place through which the brigade had travelled were some mountains
03Buz5    43:18|the place where the horses had been kept, he did not
03Buz5    43:18|the herd. For God so had it that according to the
03Buz5    43:18|Armenian brigade, the sparapet Manuel had designated a time for the
03Buz5    43:18|happened that the whole herd had been driven to the shen
03Buz5    43:26|When they had accompanied the tikin and all
03Buz5    43:27|The sinful malefactor Meruzhan had placed his own weapon, ornament
03Buz5    43:29|They beheaded many champions who had Meruzhan’s emblem, but saw that
03Buz5    43:37|when they saw that Meruzhan had died
03Buz5    43:39|youth Artawazd, unbeknownst to Manuel, had come to the battle. He
03Buz5    43:39|come to the battle. He had armed, organized and entered the
03Buz5    43:42|and much loot, which they had taken from the enemy troops
03Buz5    43:44|horse, for both of them had mounted untrained horses
03Buz5    43:49|body of the man who had been Meruzhan’s emblem-bearer, whom
03Buz5    43:49|Meruzhan’s emblem-bearer, whom Artawazd had felled with an arrow. Everyone
03Buz5    43:49|at this, since the arrow had passed right through him. When
03Buz5    43:50|the Iranian troops which Meruzhan had left in the Korchek district
03Buz5    43:50|Korchek district learned that Meruzhan had perished and that the brigade
03Buz5    43:50|that the brigade with him had been lost, they themselves fled
03Buz5    44:12|size of a dram - which had not been wounded in battle
03Buz5    44:14|have been better if I had died fighting for the land
03Buz5    44:19|taught others the same. He had mercy on the poor, the
03Buz5    44:20|dead. During his day he had stopped this practise in the
03Buz5    44:25|one heeded the order he had given about not mourning excessively
03Buz5    44:27|victorious, renowned, productive sparapet, who had gone and been separated from
03Buz6    1:11|there were many districts which had been shorn away here and
03Buz6    1:13|But many districts had been cut away from both
03Buz6    2:3|They had forsaken the religion of the
03Buz6    5:1|time of the archbishop Nerses, had been a manager in his
03Buz6    6:1|Bishop Pawstos had a brother, a marvelous, religious
03Buz6    7:3|Artit had been a student of the
03Buz6    8:0|responsibility for the sins they had committed
03Buz6    8:3|His greed had no limits but he could
03Buz6    8:4|quiver on his back. He had washed, anointed, arranged and put
03Buz6    8:19|The man who had unwillingly donned the cleric’s frock
03Buz6    9:11|When he had said this, the bishop was
03Buz6    10:1|the greed for which he had an insatiable appetite, and he
03Buz6    16:1|the district of Taron and had been a student of the
03Buz6    16:1|for the love of God, had resigned from the world and
03Buz6    16:4|who was their comrade and had been the chief deacon under
03Buz6    16:4|though after Nerses’ death he had entered the ranks of the
03Buz6    16:5|him his ways. But he had many other students of angelic
04Yegh1    1:2|And when they had deprived him of his kingdom
04Yegh1    1:8|And the Persians who had fled from Persia because of
04Yegh1    1:10|ruler saw that his wickedness had succeeded, he began to increase
04Yegh1    1:13|when he saw that they had been scattered to many regions
04Yegh1    2:36|For although the king’s plan had not been revealed to them
04Yegh1    2:39|the desires of his thoughts had been accomplished. And behold he
04Yegh1    2:39|the ministers of his impiety had advised
04Yegh1    2:40|force of the barbarians who had loyally come to the royal
04Yegh1    2:45|in their pact which they had with him, and that the
04Yegh1    2:45|him, and that the Khaylndurk had ceased to cross the Pass
04Yegh1    2:45|in peace, and that he had put the king of the
04Yegh1    2:45|even greater straits since he had ruined most of his provinces
04Yegh1    2:45|most of his provinces and had prevailed over his rule, then
04Yegh1    2:48|when he heard that he had been tortured and crucified, had
04Yegh1    2:48|had been tortured and crucified, had died and been buried
04Yegh2    1:23|realized that his perverse plan had been revealed and that the
04Yegh2    1:23|of the fire which he had prepared had become known to
04Yegh2    1:23|fire which he had prepared had become known to the fearers
04Yegh2    1:23|fearers of God before anyone had blown on it, then he
04Yegh2    1:25|worthy he demoted, until he had split father and son from
04Yegh2    2:31|saw that his secret cunning had been in no way effective
04Yegh2    2:40|When council had been held, this opinion prevailed
04Yegh2    2:43|When he had restrained and confined them in
04Yegh2    2:50|to eat sacrificial meat, which had never been lawful for Christians
04Yegh2    3:58|Especially because many of them had studied the Holy Scriptures from
04Yegh2    3:61|Such noble soldiery had attained miserable ignominy, and their
04Yegh2    3:62|some of the princes who had nourished his brothers with their
04Yegh2    3:71|hazarapet) A of the country had been regarded as a father
04Yegh2    4:83|But the one who had been conceived from his doubt
04Yegh2    4:87|And when he had wept very bitterly, he gave
04Yegh2    6:141|Not that after he had taken thought then he created
04Yegh2    6:142|likewise then also, before he had created, he was aware of
04Yegh2    7:151|at that time if he had not commanded not to eat
04Yegh2    7:151|the tree. But if he had previously cautioned, he therein revealed
04Yegh2    7:159|he was from earth and had acted for and by himself
04Yegh2    8:185|of the treewhich he had been commanded not to approach
04Yegh2    10:238|some of the princes he had left in Armenia
04Yegh2    10:244|great trouble and afflictionwho had steadfastly endured for the sake
04Yegh2    11:254|valiant deeds in military service had been superior to those of
04Yegh2    11:270|And what he had never intended to reveal to
04Yegh2    12:276|money to the magnates who had helped them at the royal
04Yegh2    12:278|the king’s privy counselors secretly had an indissoluble love for Christ
04Yegh2    12:278|love for Christ, for he had been baptized in the living
04Yegh2    12:279|Armenia all the evils he had threatened, he advised a few
04Yegh2    12:280|of no return, as they had banished many princes from Georgia
04Yegh2    12:280|the effect that a detachment had separated from the enemy and
04Yegh2    12:280|separated from the enemy and had ruined many royal provinces
04Yegh2    12:287|greatly rejoiced, thinking the gods had come to his help and
04Yegh2    12:287|come to his help and had toppled and destroyed the firm
04Yegh2    12:297|And before they had arrived in the great land
04Yegh2    12:298|For they had received a general command from
04Yegh3    1:12|an altar for demons? You had put on Christ from your
04Yegh3    1:15|They long since had become blind; why will you
04Yegh3    1:16|They had dug the pit; why did
04Yegh3    1:22|For if a man had saved you from servitude, and
04Yegh3    2:38|When this had been so confirmed and established
04Yegh3    2:50|the matter for which he had come he pressed them, saying
04Yegh3    3:53|I had heard from our ancestors that
04Yegh3    3:58|We had no idea of the causes
04Yegh3    3:65|of our land the West had been even more stirred up
04Yegh3    3:65|stirred up and all Tachkastan had been disturbed with them
04Yegh3    3:68|If we had not hastened to take flight
04Yegh3    3:72|all the nobles and he had entrusted this whole country to
04Yegh3    4:85|But the marzpan had no desire to heed him
04Yegh3    4:85|to heed him, for he had sincerely accepted the Persian religion
04Yegh3    4:88|He had brought from the treasury a
04Yegh3    4:90|the impious prince of Siunik had inflicted mortal wounds on his
04Yegh3    4:91|his mind, and that he had not in the least failed
04Yegh3    4:93|the same union; those who had not broken away from the
04Yegh3    4:95|But the latter had so demented and dulled the
04Yegh3    5:103|When they had said this, they all put
04Yegh3    5:113|Those who had come to plunder the holy
04Yegh3    6:142|own brave valor, which they had proved by deedsby trampling
04Yegh3    6:146|from his murderous uncles who had assassinated his father, he lived
04Yegh3    6:150|After they had come into the presence of
04Yegh3    6:150|of the great king and had read the supplication of Armenia
04Yegh3    7:155|When this had been so concluded and hope
04Yegh3    7:155|and hope of human help had vanished, the holy bishops began
04Yegh3    7:160|the marzpan of Chor, who had come to destroy the churches
04Yegh3    7:161|who in his innermost heart had not abandoned his covenant with
04Yegh3    8:191|remnants of the army who had fled into the great capital
04Yegh3    8:193|the sword numerous magi who had come ready to bring ruin
04Yegh3    8:195|the sake of God’s name had scattered and spread out among
04Yegh3    8:195|of the enterprise which God had effected through the Armenian army
04Yegh3    8:198|the man to whom they had entrusted the pass they sent
04Yegh3    8:199|these nations heard all that had occurred, they immediately rushed to
04Yegh3    8:199|own eyes the victory that had been won
04Yegh3    9:201|When this had been completed and mutually confirmed
04Yegh3    9:204|while the army which had remained there fled from the
04Yegh3    9:210|captives and plunder that he had brought from the province of
04Yegh3    9:211|Because wintertime had arrived and the enemy troops
04Yegh3    9:211|arrived and the enemy troops had seized the provisions, he, Vardan
04Yegh3    9:216|Since the fearers of God had gained such success, all the
04Yegh3    9:217|these visitations of God, which had been splendidly made manifest on
04Yegh3    9:217|bishops set in writing and had sent to the land of
04Yegh3    9:218|indicated all the damage that had been done: the destruction of
04Yegh3    9:219|and unjustly he (the king) had constrained them to abandon their
04Yegh3    9:219|the rebel Vasak: how he had deceived the king by speaking
04Yegh3    9:219|magism; for although no one had made an agreement with him
04Yegh3    9:219|an agreement with him he had made false insinuations on his
04Yegh3    9:220|When they had made all this completely clear
04Yegh3    9:221|messengers of the impious Vasak had previously reached Persia with the
04Yegh3    9:221|terrible disaster that he (Vardan) had brought upon the royal army
04Yegh3    9:223|his strength, especially because he had returned from the war in
04Yegh3    9:224|When he had received accurate confirmation from this
04Yegh3    9:224|from this last messenger who had come to him, he threw
04Yegh3    9:225|of his evil advisers, who had been urging him unceasingly to
04Yegh3    9:225|him unceasingly to cruel acts, had been silenced
04Yegh3    10:227|He who had loudly thundered and by even
04Yegh3    10:227|by even more fearful commands had made those far and near
04Yegh3    10:231|and scrutinize all creeds and had understood them well, he found
04Yegh3    10:236|a distant campaign, before we had brought any military operation to
04Yegh3    10:242|observed Christianity and whom he had forcibly prevented from daring to
04Yegh3    10:243|For those who had opposed him, he had tortured
04Yegh3    10:243|who had opposed him, he had tortured and prevented from open
04Yegh3    10:243|open worship; and some he had made worship the sun against
04Yegh3    10:247|The allowances that had been cut off he restored
04Yegh3    10:247|seats at the table that had been denied them he ordered
04Yegh3    10:249|When he had completed all these arrangements, in
04Yegh3    11:252|When he had informed them of all this
04Yegh3    11:255|When he had verified that the Romans had
04Yegh3    11:255|had verified that the Romans had refused to help the Christians
04Yegh3    11:257|But although the Armenians had received the king’s deceitfully flattering
04Yegh3    11:271|all his power, and who had perpetrated much slaughter. The food
04Yegh3    11:271|much slaughter. The food he had craved since childhood was the
04Yegh3    11:276|his command; and now he had undertaken the latter’s sinister schemes
04Yegh4    1:2|Although some secretly had deceitful vacillations, yet to the
04Yegh4    1:10|As he had earlier broken away from and
04Yegh4    1:11|told of things the Armenians had not done, wishing to insinuate
04Yegh4    1:14|When Vasak had agreed to everything including following
04Yegh4    1:14|was benumbed and deranged and had broken away from the firm
04Yegh4    1:15|that Vasak on his own had separated and cut himself off
04Yegh4    1:15|from the holy church and had removed and estranged himself from
04Yegh4    1:16|For he had forgotten the coming of the
04Yegh4    1:17|He renounced the font which had conceived him, nor did he
04Yegh4    1:17|the receptive Holy Spirit which had begotten him
04Yegh4    1:18|honorable body by which he had been sanctified, and he trampled
04Yegh4    1:18|living blood by which he had been redeemed from sin
04Yegh4    2:39|He brought together all who had stumbled and made a force
04Yegh4    2:39|his brave valor, how he had instructed them in deceitful error
04Yegh4    2:45|The furtive Vasak had this letter taken to the
04Yegh4    2:46|they were honest men. He had the Gospel and cross brought
04Yegh4    2:50|those Huns with whom they had a treaty
04Yegh4    3:70|After he had been informed by him about
04Yegh4    3:72|deceitful subterfuge, namely, how he had wished to hide his original
04Yegh4    3:72|his original impiety because he had broken and divided the Armenian
04Yegh5    1:6|encouraged his soldiers, for he had a firm hold on the
04Yegh5    1:6|union with the nobles who had not abandoned the holy covenant
04Yegh5    1:7|in place of those who had deserted and followed the prince
04Yegh5    1:8|preparedness, these and all who had remained loyal
04Yegh5    1:12|For these too had no hesitation in coming with
04Yegh5    2:39|Distant people who had heard the repute of our
04Yegh5    2:45|arms to the one who had no arms; he clothed the
04Yegh5    2:47|valiant men, for he himself had been learned in the Holy
04Yegh5    2:49|For although they had been martyred in that battle
04Yegh5    2:50|how the relatives of Mattathias had split away from the union
04Yegh5    2:50|impure sacrifices, abandoned God, and had received the punishment of death
04Yegh5    2:50|But Mattathias and his companions had not weakened or slackened; rather
04Yegh5    3:58|once more the apostate Vasak had recourse to subterfuge in accordance

04Yegh6    1:2|Two and three times they had the Gospel brought

04Yegh6    1:4|the brave Armenian soldiers who had fled to the castle for
04Yegh6    1:4|all the evils that he had brought upon Armenia

04Yegh6    1:11|words as the two hundred had spoken
04Yegh6    1:12|For the blessed ones had no expectation at all of

04Yegh6    6:126|the process of the accusation had come to an end
04Yegh6    6:128|of honor that the king had given him; he also put

04Yegh6    6:129|investigation and the saints who had arrived earlier were all held
04Yegh6    6:133|of the tribunal where he had been condemned
04Yegh6    6:134|And even the things that had not been mentioned there, these

04Yegh6    7:164|He who sinfully had wished to be king of
04Yegh6    7:164|to be king of Armenia had no known tomb, for he
04Yegh7    1:4|the truth by them. He had of his own will submitted
04Yegh7    1:6|the sufferings that the king had inflicted on Armenia. He also
04Yegh7    1:6|the army, whereby many nations had defected from loyalty to the

04Yegh7    1:11|the king saw that he had returned from his campaign in

04Yegh7    1:20|chief-magus to whom they had been entrusted had previously tortured
04Yegh7    1:20|whom they had been entrusted had previously tortured them frequently, in

04Yegh7    1:21|he also knew the Ampartkash, had learned the Bozpayit, and was
04Yegh7    1:23|blessed ones as if they had strayedfrom our great knowledge
04Yegh7    2:27|When he had tormented them in this way
04Yegh7    2:27|way for forty days but had heard no word of vacillation
04Yegh7    2:27|one of his own servants had secretly received something from them

04Yegh7    3:54|to be provided uswe had the power back in our
04Yegh7    3:56|all that the chief-executioner had to say, he was disturbed
04Yegh7    3:62|After he had come in among the saints
04Yegh7    3:64|When he had said this, they all stood
04Yegh7    3:68|Then he who had freely found God-given grace
04Yegh7    3:72|When they had thus spoken, they had him
04Yegh7    3:72|they had thus spoken, they had him finish his prayers and
04Yegh7    4:82|to this distant stranger, who had given up hope of life
04Yegh7    4:91|in their handsas they had been warned by the Holy
04Yegh7    4:91|the time of their calling had approached; that they might go
04Yegh7    4:91|about the future which they had endured with much anguish; that
04Yegh7    4:91|the heavenly riches which they had long desired
04Yegh7    4:92|land and the city prisoners had been entrusted to him, therefore
04Yegh7    4:93|water in which the saints had washed and threw it over
04Yegh7    4:97|But although he himself had attained heavenly blessings and was
04Yegh7    4:99|at the new wonder that had been revealed to them
04Yegh7    4:100|all remember that any sufferings had been inflicted on them
04Yegh7    5:101|saints recalled a priest, who had been in holy bonds with
04Yegh7    5:107|When the banquet had come to an end and
04Yegh7    5:107|to an end and they had all joyfully participated in the
04Yegh7    5:113|When he had said this, he received a
04Yegh7    6:126|When the blessed one had said this, they arose from
04Yegh7    6:135|the chief-magus and who had been entrusted with guarding them
04Yegh7    6:136|were most astonished at what had happened, but did not dare
04Yegh7    6:136|went and told Denshapuh, who had been charged with the tortures
04Yegh7    6:138|the prison in bonds, and had them removed from the city
04Yegh7    6:142|When he had heard all this from him
04Yegh7    6:142|all this from him and had verified his solidarity with the
04Yegh7    6:142|hands on him, although he had authority from the court
04Yegh7    6:143|secretly everything just as he had heard it from him
04Yegh7    7:160|the royal threats at naught, had no respect for persuasion, and
04Yegh7    7:161|into distant exile. As Denshapuh had been instructed by his master
04Yegh7    7:165|The attendants who had been in charge of the
04Yegh7    7:166|observed Christianity. By chance he had been appointed to the ranks
04Yegh7    7:173|not fully comprehend that they had inflamed them like valiant soldiers
04Yegh7    7:173|inflamed them like valiant soldiers, had drilled them in disciplined exercise
04Yegh7    7:173|them in disciplined exercise, and had taught them to be like
04Yegh7    7:174|If the saints had any doubts earlier, on looking
04Yegh7    8:193|soldiers of our country, who had become disciples of Christ through
04Yegh7    9:222|the cross; and because men had gone astray after the luminaries
04Yegh7    9:225|When the impious Denshapuh had observed them and seen that
04Yegh7    10:226|about whom the saints previously had had suspicions
04Yegh7    10:226|whom the saints previously had had suspicions
04Yegh7    10:233|I came to Armenia, I had occasion to travel there for
04Yegh7    13:307|When Denshapuh had heard all this from the
04Yegh7    13:308|for those insults because he had disputed patiently with them
04Yegh7    13:319|general order for their death had been given, he said to
04Yegh7    13:320|After he had said this, they arranged themselves
04Yegh7    14:339|not know where the other had fled
04Yegh7    14:340|of all the torments they had endured
04Yegh7    14:341|scorn possessions as if they had no need of them, they

04Yegh7    15:354|byfor edicts of amnesty had been sent to Armenia
04Yegh7    15:356|one’s bones, for the executioners had thrown them away, and he
04Yegh8    1:3|their noses and ears, and had them taken to Asorestan to
04Yegh8    1:4|very readily as if they had received great gifts from the
04Yegh8    1:8|were not insignificant persons but had ancestral possessions of worthy sufficiency
04Yegh8    1:16|If our teachers had been guilty toward God or
04Yegh8    1:16|been guilty toward God or had sinned against the king in

04Yegh8    2:28|around that many supposed they had died
04Yegh8    2:29|But after three hours had passed, the two of them
04Yegh8    2:34|them off as if they had never been there
04Yegh8    2:43|the eminent Armenian confessors, who had joyfully accepted mutilation and tortures
04Yegh8    2:44|But because they had been deprived of a holy

04Yegh8    2:46|After they had been brought to Babylonia, to
04Yegh8    3:51|little, another much, what people had ready to hand, be it

04Yegh9    2:39|whom all the condemned prisoners had been entrusted, showed great kindness

05Parp2    6:3|authority of his line’s kingdom had been shaken, demolished, and pulled
05Parp2    6:3|apart, in great sadness he had uneasy doubts with himself. First

05Parp2    10:10|village. The king recalled what had been said, since he also

05Parp3    24:5|of your faith which you had written down and brought to
05Parp3    25:0|the naxarars of Armenia they had it taken to Yazkert, king

05Parp3    26:2|then ordered that those who had come from Armenia, Iberia, and
05Parp3    26:7|those in the letter you had brought to me
05Parp3    27:0|and Aghbania (Aghuania) assembled. They had doubts within themselves and took
05Parp3    27:4|despite the fact that some had decided upon this independently, and

05Parp3    27:25|him what the blessed Paul had written about the Creator: “He
05Parp3    27:34|saw how all of them had sworn and sealed an awesome

05Parp3    30:13|Gospel on which the oath had been sworn, and sent them
05Parp3    30:15|counsel, words and vow which had occurred among all the Armenians

05Parp3    45:15|arose when the thought which had formed in the head of

05Parp3    45:15|a faith which our ancestors had not served and which seems

05Parp3    45:26|of our destruction which he had been thinking about, then he
05Parp3    46:3|permitted no rest until I had him back. And so, you
05Parp3    46:7|blessed man of God, Ghewond, had come upon him, surrounded and
05Parp3    48:2|taken along with him. He had them constantly oppressed with wicked
05Parp3    48:9|the bad experiences we have had from the enemy. (The cause
05Parp3    48:11|a slaughter of his troops had occurred, (Yazkert) immediately ordered that
05Parp3    50:0|the other blessed priests who had been left bound in the

05Parp3    50:6|informed by trustworthy men who had belonged to their devious sect
05Parp3    50:11|the hope of their martyrdom had arrived. They began speaking with
05Parp3    51:0|truth, regarding how the king had given the order concerning the

05Parp3    52:1|hour of cockcrow. (The executioners) had with them a multitude of
05Parp3    52:2|condemned to death. The mages had had them dealt with in
05Parp3    52:2|to death. The mages had had them dealt with in this
05Parp3    52:2|kat’oghikos Yovsep’, for (the mages) had said that his chains were

05Parp3    52:3|the name of God, they had been deserving of wearing on
05Parp3    53:4|and revealer of the world had been sent among them, and
05Parp3    53:5|When the executioners had fulfilled Vehdenshapuh’s order, they hastened
05Parp3    53:6|When the Armenian naxarars who had remained bound in the fortress

05Parp3    54:9|suitable for the task he had embarked upon. Consequently, he did
05Parp3    55:22|When the blessed kat’oghikos Yovsep’ had said this, Vehdenshapuh and the
05Parp3    56:12|blessed man of God, Ghewond, had finished his reply, the holy
05Parp3    57:0|more of what the saints had to say, as though they
05Parp3    57:5|Vardan’s actions and deeds which had been done in the land
05Parp3    57:7|remaining where the other saints had been killed, and there they
05Parp3    57:11|the venerable Xuzhik, whom Vehdenshapuh had selected and left there, beseeching
05Parp3    57:16|his comrade was. Those who had tumbled to the ground were
05Parp3    57:17|now all the requests he had made for such a long
05Parp3    57:18|until the hour of sunrise had passed in fear, the sounds
05Parp3    57:18|of lightning ceased. This (earthquake) had taken place in an area
05Parp3    57:19|Now when the guards had somewhat recovered from the awful
05Parp3    57:19|awful alarm of numbness, they had a mind to flee from
05Parp3    57:23|all the disastrous events which had happened to them during the
05Parp3    57:26|venerable Xuzhik realized that God had reduced suspicions all around. Furthermore
05Parp3    57:33|and thereupon realized that God had visited them, and that at
05Parp3    57:33|man of God, Ghewond, who had counseled them of the grace
05Parp3    57:33|the words of the saint had been fulfilled in their time
05Parp3    57:34|naxarars of Armenia. No one had bothered to relate this miraculous
05Parp3    57:35|and aid which the Almighty had bestowed upon him. He related
05Parp3    57:35|related how in Vardges, Christ had revealed the king’s plan to
05Parp3    57:35|king’s plan to him and had accompanied and encouraged him with

05Parp3    58:15|believers of the land (who had written to the court pledging
05Parp3    58:15|death and courageously fulfilling what had been stipulated for him) the
05Parp3    59:1|the treacherous prince of Siwnik’, had taken from their dayeaks as
05Parp3    59:1|people condemned to death and had taken to court to be
05Parp4    61:10|the priests of God who had been martyred, and generously bestowed

05Parp4    62:2|sons of the men who had been martyred with Vardan, be
05Parp4    62:4|whom the Iberian bdeshx Ashusha had requested and received from the
05Parp4    62:6|But they also had yet another younger brother, named
05Parp4    63:5|graceful in everything. Those who had many servants were importuning them
05Parp4    63:11|and ancestors, and how they had frequently troubled them with resistance
05Parp4    63:13|and others like them (who had fled) from the soul-killing
05Parp4    63:13|princes of the time and had concealed themselves in the caverns
05Parp4    63:16|They had assembled by the blessed patriarch
05Parp4    64:15|When the messenger had taken all of these words
05Parp4    64:15|sensible, and that whatever Maxaz had said about him had been
05Parp4    64:15|Maxaz had said about him had been false and the result
05Parp4    64:16|pleasure with the blessed man, had made the king heed his
05Parp4    64:29|and to relate everything he had heard. So, one by one
05Parp4    64:34|rejoiced upon hearing that he had been removed from office, to
05Parp4    64:34|he heard that the king had ordered for him neither shackles
05Parp4    64:34|for a long time he had longed to be worthy of
05Parp4    65:0|groups of apostates. Although they had apostasized for the transitory gloomy
05Parp4    65:3|one, (asking) which of them had not disturbed the Aryan world
05Parp4    65:3|not disturbed the Aryan world, had not wrought very great damage
05Parp4    65:5|Vahan, seeing that his detractors had stirred up such a storm
05Parp4    65:9|Vahan had an associate whose name was
05Parp4    65:11|Peroz, hearing how quickly Vahan had arrived, was astonished, and note
05Parp4    65:12|Vahan) informed Peroz that he had indeed brought something with him
05Parp4    65:12|large amount of gold he had brought, he was greatly delighted
05Parp4    65:13|Then (Peroz) had Vriw say in Vahan’s presence
05Parp4    65:13|in Vahan’s presence what he had said before, about him
05Parp4    65:21|and even more that he had returned from court in splendor
05Parp4    65:21|from court in splendor. He had doubts within himself that perhaps
05Parp4    66:0|Iberia (Georgia), for (king) Vaxt’ang [fl. ca. 446-522] had slain the impious bdeshx Vazgen
05Parp4    66:2|princes (who at this time had grown boastfully arrogant through their

05Parp4    68:19|he replied to those who had come from Atrvshnasp, saying: “To

05Parp4    69:17|and destruction for all who had apostasized Christ. Truly the word
05Parp4    69:18|Satan, saw that the affair had ended so gloriously (for the
05Parp4    69:22|said by two men who had not even participated in the
05Parp4    69:22|the battle. Before this news had spread to Duin (so that

05Parp4    70:19|and acceptable services. For God had granted them the victory and
05Parp4    71:0|bitterly cold days of winter had passed and the mild days
05Parp4    71:0|the mild days of spring had arrived, they heard that many
05Parp4    71:10|When everyone had saidAmen,” they prepared for

05Parp4    71:20|might of the Iranian brigade had been shattered, and that (the
05Parp4    71:20|pursuing many others whom they had before them

05Parp4    72:5|and they realized that God had accepted his reconversion, witness, and
05Parp4    73:0|Now after many days had passed, wise and learned people
05Parp4    73:0|was approaching. The holy Vasak had asked God to allow him

05Parp4    73:6|Georgia) without delay since they had sworn an oath with king
05Parp4    73:9|Then he had spies dispatched from the brigade

05Parp4    75:23|shortcoming in the service I had rendered, and was unable to

05Parp4    78:7|its future hostile operations. What had happened was made known to
05Parp4    78:11|the provoker of impiety, Hazarawuxt, had come against the Armenians so
05Parp4    78:11|even the kat’oghikos Yohan himself had a day to quit the

05Parp4    79:11|a hrovartak which king Peroz had written to inform him that
05Parp4    79:11|and the entire Aryan force had gone against the Hepthalites. (Peroz

05Parp4    81:12|words and the deed he had bravely done, the sepuh of
05Parp4    83:2|injuries of that particular night had seemed more and more serious
05Parp4    83:2|resembled the great carnage which had thoroughly broken (the Iranians) and
05Parp4    83:3|assembled however many men he had. Then, like a lion, he
05Parp4    83:9|When Armenia’s general, Vahan Mamikonean, had expressed all these sentiments, he
05Parp4    83:9|he divided the troops he had and entrusted them to each
05Parp4    83:10|that the entire Armenian brigade had turned tail from the oath
05Parp4    83:18|in which the impious one had confidence, and the tip of
05Parp4    83:19|the ghost, without confessing. He had at one time immodestly boasted

05Parp4    83:23|Vahan Mamikonean with his colleagues had completed this deed of bravery
05Parp4    83:24|Because God had so inspired them with fear

05Parp4    87:3|When everyone had assembled near Vagharsh, Hazarawuxt began
05Parp4    88:13|Gdihon, lord of Siwnik’. I had thought that only Gdihon with
05Parp4    88:17|they all praised what Mihran had said as true indeed
05Parp4    88:23|Vagharsh, and all the nobility had said these things to Nixor
05Parp4    89:2|Vahan Mamikonean ordered those who had come from Nixor to say
05Parp4    89:3|When Vahan Mamikonean had all the mass of the
05Parp4    89:6|dedicated ourselves to death. Everyone had previously resolved upon these three
05Parp4    90:0|When Vahan Mamikonean had said all these words to
05Parp4    90:3|Nixor saw the Armenians, who had come to him from Vahan
05Parp4    90:5|Then came the messengers who had been sent by Nixor to
05Parp4    90:10|and the other men who had come from Vahan Mamikonean heard
05Parp4    90:14|and honored the naxarars who had come from Vahan Mamikonean, sent
05Parp4    90:15|those God-denying cheaters who had allied with the Iranians saw
05Parp4    90:15|saw how the rebels who had come from Armenia were honored
05Parp4    90:18|When the man had said this, they went to
05Parp4    90:19|When Nixor’s messengers had reached Vahan Mamikonean and delivered
05Parp4    90:19|what was written that Nixor had been informed by the messengers
05Parp4    90:19|messengers of all that he had sent him and that there
05Parp4    90:19|Vahan Mamikonean’s statements that Nixor had ignored
05Parp4    90:20|the messengers about how Nixor had so delightedly and affectionately received
05Parp4    91:3|of Vahan Mamikonean, he immediately had (these men) sent to Nerseh
05Parp4    91:6|force thought that Vahan Mamikonean had come deceitfully to hurt them
05Parp4    91:7|in advance of him and had them say to Vahan Mamikonean
05Parp4    91:10|each of the naxarars who had come with Vahan Mamikonean, welcoming
05Parp4    91:23|about any good servant he had
05Parp4    91:26|ways of the man who had no parallel among men, but
05Parp4    92:14|Had we been able to remain
05Parp4    92:14|been able to remain united, had we not split and argued
05Parp4    93:3|and the entire brigade he had. But all the oath-breaking
05Parp4    93:5|gather in assembly, and he had Vahan Mamikonean brought to his
05Parp4    93:7|Nixor ordered all who had come with Vahan Mamikonean, naxarars
05Parp4    93:8|permit those (oath-breakers) who had made themselves loyal to the
05Parp4    93:12|church rhetorician said, their color had languished and waned and they

05Parp4    93:18|When Vahan Mamikonean had repeated in the atean the
05Parp4    93:18|atean the same things (he had said before), he started to
05Parp4    94:0|When Vahan Mamikonean had said all this, Nixor heard
05Parp4    94:5|bridge of Artashat ruined. This had happened partly from the recourse
05Parp4    95:4|did you err in what had been said
05Parp4    95:5|For had you alone been lost to
05Parp4    95:6|Now had you been the cause of
05Parp4    95:23|When Vahan Mamikonean had spoken all these words before
05Parp4    96:6|Vagharsh and all the nobility had received all of them full
05Parp4    97:1|the ascetic champion Gregory, which had indeed accompanied all of them
05Parp4    97:5|After the blessed kat’oghikos had said all of this and
05Parp4    98:3|the man’s wisdom. He also had king Vagharsh fully informed about
05Parp4    99:7|heart breaking with joy he had the psalm read: “Bless God
05Parp4    100:1|the sick [Luke 10:9], but though they had in themselves the sweet taste
05Parp4    100:2|of flowers and fruit, which had the pattern of the [12] blessed

06Khor1    6:17|sons of Sem but Ham had attacked them and seized that

06Khor1    6:24|of his sons from him had its first origins

06Khor1    8:5|and what sort of men had ruled over Armenia up to
06Khor1    8:5|Armenia up to his time: had he succeeded to the throne
06Khor1    9:8|his brother, to whom he had entrusted half of his kingdom
06Khor1    9:8|entrusted half of his kingdom, had such thoughts
06Khor1    9:17|To that very task they had fallen when a fearful and
06Khor1    10:5|Each man in his rage had drawn his sword against his
06Khor1    10:6|servants and the outsiders who had joined his service and all

06Khor1    10:7|of the human race who had been previously scattered. These Hayk
06Khor1    11:2|says: when the Titan Bēl had confirmed his rule over everyone
06Khor1    11:16|the armed band where Bēl had come to the front of
06Khor1    11:21|same hill from which he had descended, for he thought he
06Khor1    12:17|And his son Sharay, who had many children and was a

06Khor1    14:9|east and the south and had entrusted them to those two
06Khor1    14:9|the house of Cadmos, he had no further fear of any
06Khor1    14:10|the Titan Payapis Kaaḷeay who had seized the land between the
06Khor1    14:21|of Ninos, when no one had troubled with such things; second
06Khor1    15:3|lascivious Semiramis for many years had heard of his beauty and
06Khor1    15:4|the whole empire that Ninos had ruled, or to satisfy her
06Khor1    15:6|the reports about him she had become madly enflamed as if
06Khor1    15:6|madly enflamed as if she had already seen him
06Khor1    15:12|When the Armenian army had regained its confidence to continue
06Khor1    15:14|One of her paramours she had dressed up in secret, and
06Khor1    15:15|this power of her gods had brought Ara back to life
06Khor1    16:21|hardness of the surface - she had carved out various temples and
06Khor1    17:2|the summer resort that she had built in Armenia, she left
06Khor1    17:6|Her husband Ninos had not, as is said, died
06Khor1    17:6|and evil way of life had abandoned his kingdom and fled
06Khor1    21:5|For he had been dedicated to the cult

06Khor1    23:4|my entrance into the world had occurred in their time, if
06Khor1    25:7|glorified our nation. Those who had been under a yoke he
06Khor1    25:15|Tigranuhi in marriage after Azhdahak had sought her with insistence
06Khor1    25:17|him since an unexpected prophecy had revealed to him his future
06Khor1    26:3|troubled with these thoughts, he had a vision of the future
06Khor1    27:3|in his waking hours he had never seen with his eyes
06Khor1    30:2|he says that when Azhdahak had established Tigranuhi as queen he
06Khor1    30:8|some important matter or business had arisen that could not be
06Khor1    30:10|And once such baseness had been revealed there was thenceforth
06Khor1    30:16|When this had been accomplished, the hours of
06Khor1    30:17|everything, and in strength he had no equal

06Khor2    10:5|our blessed teacher Mashtots’ had had translated into Armenian

06Khor2    12:4|in bronze and gilded, he had them brought to our country
06Khor2    12:5|the statue of Heracles, which had been made by Scyllas and
06Khor2    12:8|by his own army. He had reigned for twenty-five years
06Khor2    12:9|Athena, Hephaistos, and Aphrodite, and had them brought to Armenia. But
06Khor2    12:9|to Armenia. But before they had arrived in our land the

06Khor2    13:17|be brought. And when he had inquired and learned what it
06Khor2    13:17|what it was that he had cried out, he ordered him
06Khor2    14:3|the dispersal of his troops had attacked and invaded our country
06Khor2    14:7|But the priests, who had come from Greece, decided not
06Khor2    14:10|the Vahuni in that they had taken it upon themselves to
06Khor2    14:10|village in which the statues had been erected
06Khor2    14:17|For he had heard a report that a

06Khor2    15:7|father of Pontius Pilate he had Mithridates murdered by poison
06Khor2    16:3|Roman army commander whom Pompey had left behind when he returned
06Khor2    16:4|son of Mithridates, whom Pompey had captured in Mazhak, though he

06Khor2    17:3|After he had crossed the Euphrates, he was
06Khor2    19:5|a certain Pacorus, whose father had been king of Syria, while
06Khor2    19:7|Herod’s brother, saw that Barzap’ran had put the Roman army to
06Khor2    22:5|gluttony, and especially because Antony had deprived him of Mesopotamia, he
06Khor2    24:6|aspet and coronant, because he had freed Hyrcanus, the high priest
06Khor2    24:6|the Jews whom Barzap’ran Ṙshtuni had captured in the days of

06Khor2    28:3|So when Artashēs had applied pressure to them and
06Khor2    28:3|applied pressure to them and had cast the fear of death
06Khor2    28:4|For King Arshavir had had three sons and a

06Khor2    29:2|to the effect that he had gone to the east to
06Khor2    29:3|and at the same time had brought to them the text
06Khor2    29:6|For Herod had first taken King Aretas’ daughter
06Khor2    30:7|by fearful pains that he had contracted in Persia seven years
06Khor2    30:7|years before and no man had been able to cure him
06Khor2    30:7|able to cure him, he had a letter of supplication taken
06Khor2    31:8|some of the Gentiles who had come to him; therefore, those
06Khor2    33:3|of the Bagratuni family. He had fled from Arsham and had
06Khor2    33:3|had fled from Arsham and had not renounced the Jewish faith
06Khor2    33:6|him were astonished, for they had not perceived the vision
06Khor2    33:9|the Jews who crucified Him, had I not been prevented because
06Khor2    33:13|Sanatruk, Abgar’s nephew, whom he had set over our land and
06Khor2    33:18|the tremendous benefits that He had worked among them, signs and
06Khor2    33:27|Although we had previously heard of this from
06Khor2    33:29|rejected it because the matter had not been previously investigated by
06Khor2    33:38|in his archive, as he had done with others
06Khor2    33:53|And before he had received replies to these letters
06Khor2    35:4|For he had a marble pillar set up
06Khor2    35:7|for the benefits that he had gained from Abgar through her
06Khor2    35:8|during the famine that Agabus had predicted. Spending all her treasures
06Khor2    36:3|Because it had been destroyed by an earthquake
06Khor2    37:12|name, whom his wet nurse had taken, escaped to the regions
06Khor2    38:8|Then Eruand sent and had killed the brave men in
06Khor2    39:2|Armavir, for the River Araxes had shifted to a distance, and
06Khor2    40:2|When Eruand had built his own city he
06Khor2    40:2|that is, in it he had set up the complex of
06Khor2    42:10|Eruand that through magic he had the evil eye. So, the
06Khor2    42:10|who attended him at daybreak had the habit of placing hard
06Khor2    42:11|a fable or else he had some demonic power in himself
06Khor2    43:2|and after his tutor Smbat had shown many brave acts of
06Khor2    44:2|Uti that the Persian king had gathered a great force under
06Khor2    44:5|For Eruand had restored to him the second
06Khor2    44:5|the second rank, which Tigran had taken from him and given
06Khor2    44:5|but after Mihrdat’s death it had not been given to anyone
06Khor2    45:3|also the princes whom Eruand had left behind
06Khor2    45:4|saw that the Roman army had not come to his support
06Khor2    46:6|leave him with whatever he had obtained from Eruand and would
06Khor2    46:12|the cost of their lives had made a pact with Eruand
06Khor2    46:19|called the meadow where he had camped over the corpses Marats’
06Khor2    46:20|of the insult when Eruand had sent to the Persian king
06Khor2    46:22|But Smbat, who had pursued Eruand at night with
06Khor2    46:25|But Artashēs remembered that Eruand had some Arsacid blood and ordered
06Khor2    47:4|the second rank that he had promised, a crown decorated with
06Khor2    47:7|the informing that their father had done from the king’s house
06Khor2    47:7|and for that reason he had been put to death by
06Khor2    48:7|slaves of Eruaz whom he had taken captive in Bagaran and
06Khor2    48:9|But when Smbat had gone to Persia, the emperor’s
06Khor2    49:6|capital the Jewish captives who had been transferred there from Armavir
06Khor2    49:7|Eruand’s capital that the latter had brought from Armavir, plus those
06Khor2    49:7|Armavir, plus those that he had constructed there, Artashēs transferred to
06Khor2    50:5|But because the Armenian army had captured the son of the
06Khor2    50:5|of the Alan king and had brought him to Artashēs, the
06Khor2    50:16|For our kings had the custom of going to
06Khor2    52:2|beauty of his hair. He had a small blood mark in
06Khor2    52:2|prudent in all things and had a gift for success in
06Khor2    52:4|For Sat’inik’s father had died and someone else was
06Khor2    52:4|land of the Alans and had expelled Sat’inik’s brother. But Smbat
06Khor2    53:9|In his old age he had married an Assyrian from near
06Khor2    55:6|Smbat’s behalf, for the latter had raised him. Likewise, he planned
06Khor2    56:2|to be distinguished. For he had increased the population of Armenia
06Khor2    56:3|the earth. Over them he had fitted four-sided obelisks, a
06Khor2    58:2|related to Sat’inik and who had come with her, were established
06Khor2    58:2|the colony of Basiḷk’ that had come to Armenia
06Khor2    60:3|At the time the Jews had revolted against Hadrian, the Roman

06Khor2    60:3|he greatly boasted that he had sprung from heaven as their
06Khor2    60:4|tribute to the Romans. It had also been heard that leprosy

06Khor2    60:7|he built up Jerusalem, which had been destroyed by Vespasian and
06Khor2    60:11|He had not returned when Artashēs died
06Khor2    61:2|Tiran his successor, for he had no son
06Khor2    61:9|of the descendants of Azhdahak had set a spell upon him
06Khor2    62:4|He had two horses that were swifter
06Khor2    62:9|of Artavazd’s wives, whom he had brought from Greece
06Khor2    62:10|And because Artavazd had no child, the king left
06Khor2    62:12|Persian friend of his who had become related by marriage to
06Khor2    62:12|Vaspurakan and to whom he had given the town of Tateawn
06Khor2    63:5|regions of Media. After he had arrived in the land of
06Khor2    63:6|to a banquet. When they had become merry with wine, Trdat

06Khor2    66:5|kings, he himself added whatever had happened in his own time

06Khor2    71:2|After Artashir, son of Sasan, had killed Artavan and gained the
06Khor2    72:5|the other lands where he had a royal residence

06Khor2    75:2|scholar who in his youth had gone to study with Origen
06Khor2    76:4|Goths, crossing the River Danube, had taken many provinces captive and
06Khor2    76:4|taken many provinces captive and had plundered the Cyclades Islands, for
06Khor2    77:3|nobility, brought back those who had emigrated, and destroyed their fortified
06Khor2    77:3|the daughter of Khosrov. He had ensconced himself in the fortress
06Khor2    77:5|Likewise the Arsacids, who had been deprived of the crown
06Khor2    77:7|But the statues that Vaḷarshak had set up as the images
06Khor2    77:7|moon at Armavir, and which had been transferred from Armavir to
06Khor2    78:2|Artashir had heard that one of the
06Khor2    78:2|one of the Armenian princes had fled with one of Khosrov’s
06Khor2    78:4|When the Armenians had fled from Artashir, these too
06Khor2    78:4|fled from Artashir, these too had fled with the families of
06Khor2    78:4|other princes. And when Artashir had subjected the rest, they returned
06Khor2    79:8|Similarly Carinus, who had marched into the desert against

06Khor2    82:4|country he found that Awtay had raised his sister Khosrovidukht and
06Khor2    82:4|raised his sister Khosrovidukht and had guarded the treasures in his
06Khor2    82:6|brother, Artavazd Mandakuni, because he had been the cause of his
06Khor2    82:8|sons of Gregory, as he had learned about them when living
06Khor2    82:11|force of his arms. They had inflicted many wounds on his
06Khor2    83:5|Constantius, the Roman emperor, who had not been born from Maximian’s
06Khor2    83:8|when in great distress he had fallen asleep, there appeared to

06Khor2    84:3|of the Amatuni family and had been the guardian of Khosrovidukht
06Khor2    84:4|and having discovered that Shapuh had not arrived at the appointed
06Khor2    84:5|was called Oḷakan, where he had as refuge the inhabitants of
06Khor2    84:15|all the lands that he had promised, and he made him
06Khor2    85:4|right armpit, for he, Trdat had raised his arm to strike
06Khor2    85:7|And although no small losses had befallen his own army and

06Khor2    86:6|about Trdat: that when he had set out intending to go
06Khor2    86:6|hunting, torments from the Lord had fallen upon him. He reckoned
06Khor2    86:8|then on, for the Georgians had happily accepted the preaching of
06Khor2    86:9|the idols, just as he had done himself, and to set
06Khor2    86:10|the powerful river Kura. Everyone had been accustomed to worship this
06Khor2    86:12|their roofs, just as they had done previously
06Khor2    87:2|But Trdat, although he had gained the victory, nonetheless because
06Khor2    87:2|victory, nonetheless because his army had been mauled and many princes
06Khor2    87:2|been mauled and many princes had fallen, hesitated to challenge Shapuh

06Khor2    88:13|place of the column, which had as an inscription the mystical
06Khor2    88:16|the column that he himself had erected
06Khor2    89:6|because he had heard of the alliance of
06Khor2    90:2|three hundred and eighteen fathers had assembled to overthrow the Arians
06Khor2    91:11|Therefore Archilaeus, who had been appointed to the governorship
06Khor2    91:18|But when the faith had become firmly established in these
06Khor3    2:2|martyrium of Saint John, which had been built by his father
06Khor3    2:3|anarchy as the princely houses had risen against each other in
06Khor3    3:5|spirit and reflecting that Solomon had become king of Israel at
06Khor3    4:2|time of anarchy and unrest, had no king and each man
06Khor3    6:2|the four generals whom Trdat had established in his own lifetime
06Khor3    6:2|his tutor Artavazd Mandakuni who had been the single supreme commander

06Khor3    11:4|After Vrt’anēs the Great had completed fifteen years of episcopate
06Khor3    11:5|of T’ordan, as if he had seen with a prophetic eye

06Khor3    23:2|no other king before him had caught such a multitude of

06Khor3    23:8|on the grounds that he had begrudged the king’s pleasure
06Khor3    23:9|when he saw that he had never seen such preparations for
06Khor3    23:9|to shoot game, the arrow had struck him by mistake
06Khor3    24:1|How Arshak had the temerity to marry Gnel’s
06Khor3    24:3|Arshak and the one who had been the cause of the
06Khor3    24:7|She likewise had Arshak murder Vaḷinak and set
06Khor3    25:2|When Shapuh had made peace with the northern
06Khor3    25:6|his rank, as if this had occurred at his instigation because

06Khor3    31:5|son of Arshavir, for he had an Arsacid wife and had
06Khor3    31:5|had an Arsacid wife and had settled in her hereditary lands

06Khor3    35:2|those of the princes who had remained loyal to Arshak, and
06Khor3    35:2|they also saw that Alanaozan had departed while the force that
06Khor3    35:2|departed while the force that had come for that purpose was

06Khor3    35:8|Van Tosp whom Barzap’ran Ṙshtuni had brought there in the days
06Khor3    35:9|whom the same king Tigran had brought there and who in

06Khor3    35:10|of Artashat, saying that he had come with the captives to
06Khor3    35:12|committed suicide like Saul [cf. 1 Kings 31:4; 1 Chron. 10:4]. He had reigned for thirty years
06Khor3    36:4|of the princes’ wives and had them kept in various castles
06Khor3    36:6|the pretext of tribute and had them sent to Persia
06Khor3    36:8|of all the evils that had befallen Armenia and of the
06Khor3    37:2|After Mehrujan had informed Shapuh in the land
06Khor3    37:2|all the assistance that Theodosius had given to Pap, the command
06Khor3    37:3|warned Emperor Theodosius that Shapuh had commanded all his forces to
06Khor3    37:18|the ground as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt
06Khor3    37:20|king of the Aḷuank’; he had been wounded by Musheḷ, son
06Khor3    37:22|people living in tents who had lit a fire and an

06Khor3    38:6|of T’il, keeping secret what had really happened
06Khor3    39:3|heard that Theodosius the Great had gone from Byzantium toward Rome
06Khor3    39:3|Thessalonica with his army, there had occurred an altercation between him
06Khor3    39:8|death with the axe. He had reigned for seven years
06Khor3    40:4|Earlier he had fled from Shapuh to the
06Khor3    40:4|to the emperor’s court and had become a noted champion - first
06Khor3    40:4|in Hellas at midday he had killed lions, for which he
06Khor3    40:10|as in his youth he had steeped himself in valiant deeds
06Khor3    40:15|him with an audience, but had him taken in iron bonds
06Khor3    40:15|island in the Ocean. He had reigned for four years
06Khor3    42:2|peace to him since he had been defeated and beaten by
06Khor3    42:3|his generals. For although God had granted them victory in the
06Khor3    42:9|princes of his part who had followed Arshak he wrote an
06Khor3    42:12|our royal solicitude we have had mercy on you and your
06Khor3    43:2|When the Armenian princes who had possessions in the provinces of
06Khor3    43:2|Persian sector heard that Shapuh had appointed a Christian Arsacid king
06Khor3    43:2|Arsacid king and when they had seen the rescript of his
06Khor3    43:2|for three young men who had been brought up with the
06Khor3    43:4|were also some princes who had their domains in the Greek
06Khor3    43:4|continually suggested that he, Sahak had a royal insignia left by
06Khor3    44:2|from the Persian sector who had remained with Arshak
06Khor3    45:3|the province of Mananaḷi, which had no way in save a
06Khor3    45:8|the treasures, which he hastily had brought to Khosrov
06Khor3    45:9|from the Persian sector who had remained with Arshak
06Khor3    46:3|When diplomatic exchanges had been exhausted, Arshak gathered his
06Khor3    46:4|before he found that Arshak had crossed his border in the
06Khor3    46:9|with fever, and died. He had reigned over all of Armenia
06Khor3    47:2|Seeing that the Armenian kingdom had come to an end and
06Khor3    47:2|from Hats’ekk’ in Tarawn and had been raised and educated under
06Khor3    47:2|latter’s departure from the world had been appointed archivist at the
06Khor3    47:4|for the heathen sect that had taken refuge there and had
06Khor3    47:4|had taken refuge there and had remained hidden from the days
06Khor3    47:4|to that time and then had come into the open at
06Khor3    48:1|Khosrov of those princes who had been with Arshak
06Khor3    48:2|princes, seeing that the Greeks had not set a king over
06Khor3    48:21|For he had killed his father Vardan because
06Khor3    49:2|When Khosrov had extended his sway over all
06Khor3    49:2|him without fail as they had previously to his governors
06Khor3    49:6|He had sixty pupils like the Spudaioi
06Khor3    50:7|Taking Khosrov with him he had him imprisoned in the fortress
06Khor3    50:7|the fortress called Anush. Khosrov had reigned for five years
06Khor3    50:10|and taken before Artashir, who had him blown up like a
06Khor3    51:2|to the male line. He had a daughter called Sahakanoysh who
06Khor3    51:4|things that his brother Khosrov had endured afflictions
06Khor3    51:7|survivors of the families who had offended him, the Kamsarakan and
06Khor3    51:7|the Kamsarakan and Amatuni, who had hidden in obscure places. Therefore
06Khor3    51:7|especially because the fathers who had sinned had themselves died for
06Khor3    51:7|the fathers who had sinned had themselves died for it
06Khor3    51:8|each one of them, which had been confiscated to the court
06Khor3    51:9|the Armenian nobility; and he had this entered into the archives
06Khor3    51:11|census, they left out what had been altered from the original
06Khor3    51:12|he ordered that everything that had been altered by his predecessors
06Khor3    51:16|And when Trdat had lost his life and the
06Khor3    51:20|Sahak the Great arrived and had confirmed all of Artashir’s gifts

06Khor3    55:3|Khosrov, who after Artashir’s death had been released from bonds but
06Khor3    55:5|who after his father’s death had been taken from the fortress
06Khor3    55:6|although for a time he had success

06Khor3    57:20|of the pupils whom he had brought with him, including their

06Khor3    60:5|the time of anarchy and had spread among many people. Having
06Khor3    60:7|Gardman, for there too he had heard that there were sympathizers
06Khor3    60:12|Ardzan also arrived there; they had been sent earlier by Sahak

06Khor3    61:7|Mesrop zealously translated again what had once been translated and made
06Khor3    64:7|the malicious and contentious princes had promised him the archiepiscopal throne
06Khor3    64:7|so in self-interest he had rendered his tongue into a
06Khor3    64:12|revenues of dioceses whose bishops had died
06Khor3    65:2|and from both sides they had sent to ask the Persian
06Khor3    65:7|of the senseless blasphemies they had uttered, in that he Vṙam

09Draskh1    24:6|in question which he himself had covered. At once, the man
09Draskh1    24:6|misdeed the like of which had never been seen, and thus
09Draskh1    24:8|joyful songs, especially since they had not been deemed worthy of
09Draskh1    24:11|Garni. From his youth he had borne the yoke of the
09Draskh1    24:11|of the ecclesiastical state, and had devoted himself to many virtuous
09Draskh1    24:13|When they had taken him out of his
09Draskh1    24:15|It happened as he had predicted; for he lived no
09Draskh1    24:23|and binding him with fetters, had him beaten with a club
09Draskh1    24:24|at naught the toils that had come upon him, nor did
09Draskh1    24:25|rejected by the patriarch, he had three sacks filled with treasures
09Draskh1    24:26|he spread rumors that he had purchased the estates (dastakert), and
09Draskh1    25:2|man of Persian extraction, who had taken as wife (a princess

09Draskh1    25:8|fiercely, and the two sides had clashed in battle, the forces

09Draskh1    25:11|the holy patriarchate, where he had it buried in a grave
09Draskh1    25:15|a period of eight years had elapsed from the time of
09Draskh1    25:15|the blessed virgin Susanna (Shushan) (had fared) formerly at the hands
09Draskh1    25:20|the church of Christ, which had lost Her adornment due to
09Draskh1    25:27|As soon as the latter had reached the district of Taron
09Draskh1    25:27|district of Taron, he immediately had prince Bagarat bound with fetters
09Draskh1    25:31|of the ramik cavalry that had ventured to carry swords on
09Draskh1    25:33|the land like lightening. He had Ashot and Dawit’ the children
09Draskh1    25:33|the children of Bagarat, who had been taken captive, immediately seized
09Draskh1    25:34|of the mountain, whom they had seized
09Draskh1    25:37|for many days, until he had sent Prince Ashot and his
09Draskh1    25:38|prince of the Arcruni house, had taken measures to resist the
09Draskh1    25:41|to him every warrior that had taken sword in hand or
09Draskh1    25:47|from all those whom (he had taken captive) in the region
09Draskh1    25:47|and the ones whom he had brought with him from Vaspurakan
09Draskh1    26:3|Prince Vasak, who had barely eluded them, fled to
09Draskh1    26:8|the same holy premises. Yovhannes had occupied the patriarchal see for
09Draskh1    26:9|away (with him) those that had been captured and were kept
09Draskh1    26:9|the eastern regions, after he had dispatched urgent orders to the
09Draskh1    26:17|But when they had reached the royal court, and
09Draskh1    26:21|the Christian faith which he had received as a precious gift
09Draskh1    26:22|After they had tested his will, and recognized
09Draskh1    26:24|prophet Daniel, where the latter had been cast into the lions’
09Draskh1    26:28|by the ramik, whom Bugha had taken in bonds to the
09Draskh1    26:28|naxarars, suffered martyrdom, after he had been tortured by many blows
09Draskh1    27:16|and naxarars of Armenia, who had been taken captive by Bugha
09Draskh1    27:17|foul teachings of Muhammad, which had been imposed on them much
09Draskh1    28:2|and skilled in warfare. He had assisted his brother Ashot in
09Draskh1    28:2|in bringing everyone to submission, had displayed his valiance on many
09Draskh1    28:7|father-in-law as he had done earlier; thus he could
09Draskh1    29:2|surmounted by dark eyebrows. He had a speckle of blood in
09Draskh1    29:14|with the glorification that he had received
09Draskh1    30:3|blood of the Lord, he had great amounts of gold and
09Draskh1    30:7|presiding prince of Armenia, who had gone to the region of
09Draskh1    30:12|the royal robes. After he had been honored by Smbat and
09Draskh1    30:13|to the effect that he had laid snares for the latter
09Draskh1    30:13|latter together with Smbat. He had him bound with iron chains
09Draskh1    30:18|But after receiving what he had sought, he was again beguiled
09Draskh1    30:20|attacks of the enemy troops had become more intense and had
09Draskh1    30:20|had become more intense and had reached his own doorstep, he
09Draskh1    30:26|the fact that he himself had been deprived of the crown
09Draskh1    30:26|deprived of the crown, which had been given to Smbat. Bearing
09Draskh1    30:27|And since they had previously let their impious tongues
09Draskh1    30:27|thread about the land, and had joined certain wicked men to
09Draskh1    31:3|the governor (ostikan) Afshin, who had given the crown to Smbat
09Draskh1    31:7|of men of war who had reached his border, he changed
09Draskh1    31:10|Contrary to the condition that had been set at an earlier
09Draskh1    31:10|he also noted that they had paid less than the full
09Draskh1    32:3|of multitudes of men, who had suffocated under their roofs and
09Draskh1    32:3|of earth because their minds had become as hard as rock
09Draskh1    32:6|divine) wrath terrified those who had survived
09Draskh1    32:7|letter to the afflicted who had survived
09Draskh1    33:3|on the pretext that he had received word to proceed in

09Draskh1    33:4|confront Afshin before the latter had reached the city of Dvin
09Draskh1    33:6|the king the northern nations had also sent many warriors, namely
09Draskh1    33:9|break the oath that he had made to Afshin
09Draskh1    33:19|After he had spent two months in confinement
09Draskh1    33:21|because the ostikan had reached the city of P’aytakaran
09Draskh1    33:21|P’aytakaran at that time, and had taken the great katholikos with
09Draskh1    33:21|katholikos with him. No sooner had he arrived there, then our
09Draskh1    34:2|the other prizes that he had taken with him with the
09Draskh1    34:2|nothing more than what he had, except for the praiseworthy ornaments
09Draskh1    34:5|Subsequently, however, regretting that he had severed relations with the king
09Draskh1    34:7|At that time, Gagik Arcruni had become pre-eminent by virtue
09Draskh1    34:8|inflict punishment on Gagik, who had usurped the princedom, especially since
09Draskh1    34:8|princedom, especially since the latter had submitted himself totally to the
09Draskh1    34:9|king Smbat saw that peace had been permanently established in Armenia
09Draskh1    34:10|Mesopotamia as far as Palestine, had seized Abu’l-Magra (Aplmaxr)—the
09Draskh1    34:10|and confining him in prison, had appropriated the possessions of his
09Draskh1    34:13|of the king’s brother Shapuh had brought frequent charges against Ahmad
09Draskh1    34:13|the wickedness of the latter had been completely disclosed, thereupon, the
09Draskh1    34:14|west of Taron, where he had encamped along the bank of
09Draskh1    34:20|Some of the forces that had been left behind, startled by
09Draskh1    34:29|Ashot who had been in confinement was released
09Draskh1    34:31|Two years later, when Gurgen had mounted on a swift horse
09Draskh1    35:1|of the wicked acts that had been committed, and heard of
09Draskh1    35:1|acute discord between those who had remained, he took advantage of
09Draskh1    35:4|the wives of azat men, had found refuge there
09Draskh1    35:9|saw all the things that had been taken by the enemy
09Draskh1    35:11|cast the blame of what had happened on the other
09Draskh1    36:1|church where our Holy Illuminator had laid down his staff and
09Draskh1    36:2|king his queen, whom he had treated with much respect. He
09Draskh1    36:4|as the great patriarch Georg had departed from this world, the
09Draskh1    36:7|suffering any agony, after he had occupied the patriarchal see for
09Draskh1    36:10|Although I had been a disciple of the
09Draskh1    36:11|to the present (office), and had as my only guiding hope
09Draskh1    36:12|construction of the church which had been founded by king Smbat
09Draskh1    37:1|of Shirak. Since his mind had turned to its former aberration
09Draskh1    37:3|deceive the kingfor he had made the attempt more than
09Draskh1    37:3|and made believe that he had come to visit the king
09Draskh1    37:6|with the gifts that she had brought with her, and falling
09Draskh1    37:6|return her son Smbat, who had been taken hostage by him
09Draskh1    37:17|of his brother Mushegh who had been taken captive in the
09Draskh1    37:20|of the wickedness that he had received from his eunuch. He
09Draskh1    37:22|abdomen, and before his spirit had departed from his body, the
09Draskh1    37:24|Many of his soldiers who had been struck by the same
09Draskh1    38:2|the son of Vasak who had renounced Christ, and of the
09Draskh1    38:2|the very same prince Ashot, had his residence at the fortress
09Draskh1    38:3|Upon learning that prince Ashot had encamped in this glen, he
09Draskh1    38:8|the very pit which Hasan had dug (for someone else), swallowed
09Draskh1    38:11|doorway of destruction which Hasan had opened before himself
09Draskh1    38:14|of certain azats, the latter had Hasan’s eyes put out, and
09Draskh1    39:1|king Smbat learned that Yusuf had succeeded to his brother Afshin’s
09Draskh1    39:1|friendship with those whose rights had been taken away from them
09Draskh1    39:2|as the laws of God had dissociated him from them and
09Draskh1    40:1|an ally, just as he had been formerly with his brother
09Draskh1    40:7|the solemn agreement that they had made
09Draskh1    40:16|times more than what he had received from Yusuf
09Draskh1    41:5|the very same man who had come out of his den
09Draskh1    42:3|and made believe that he had sent as many as one
09Draskh1    42:4|that the army which he had mustered was drawn up to
09Draskh1    42:17|On the designated day, which had been set up by the
09Draskh1    42:17|well as the others who had joined them, for the assassination
09Draskh1    42:17|with the Hawuni whom they had sent for that purpose, they
09Draskh1    42:19|details of the treachery that had been committed by Atrnerseh, Hasan
09Draskh1    42:25|him all the naxarars who had betrayed him, and blinding all
09Draskh1    43:1|the city of Naxjawan, which had presumably been in the possession
09Draskh1    43:2|Nevertheless, as the king had previously given the city as
09Draskh1    43:2|from the prince what he had given, nor make meaningless the
09Draskh1    43:2|meaningless the honors that he had bestowed on him
09Draskh1    43:14|But I had my eyes set on the
09Draskh1    43:16|After he had reached the city of Naxjawan
09Draskh1    43:16|and Gurgen, his forerunners, who had been invited to come, arrived
09Draskh1    43:19|But as they had been forsaken by the providence
09Draskh1    43:20|coming upon the fugitives who had been despoiled or left behind
09Draskh1    44:2|that occasion, because the king had taken refuge in the fastnesses
09Draskh1    44:3|king Smbat’s brother Shapuhwho had voluntarily come to surrender, and
09Draskh1    44:5|unable to attain what he had sought, he was terrified of
09Draskh1    44:8|for acquiring gold, and I had frequently paid the unjust exactions
09Draskh1    44:8|with the money that I had raised with the help of
09Draskh1    44:8|of many (friends). Yet, I had run short of funds, and
09Draskh1    45:4|among whom was king Gagik, had pitched camp on a level
09Draskh1    45:8|assaults of the foreign invaders had become more intense
09Draskh1    45:9|Mushegh, however, who had been cast into the midst
09Draskh1    45:12|bitterness, which formerly the Lord had plucked out of the house
09Draskh1    45:26|the iniquity of those who had exalted the scandalous aberration within
09Draskh1    46:6|with my earlier account, he had submitted to Yusuf ’s service
09Draskh1    46:6|sanctuary of Saint Simon, which had been built by him
09Draskh1    46:7|valiant and youthful Mushegh, who had been seized because of the
09Draskh1    46:10|Of the illustrious nobility that had surrendered to him or had
09Draskh1    46:10|had surrendered to him or had fallen into his hands, almost
09Draskh1    46:11|gaherec’ prince of Siwnik’, who had willingly surrendered to the ostikan
09Draskh1    46:12|However, one day when dusk had fallen, he suddenly put to

09Draskh1    46:18|There were others, whose lives had been wasted by the pestiferous
09Draskh1    47:1|legitimate brothers of Grigor, who had been executed by the ostikan
09Draskh1    47:1|the wrath of the Lord had passed away
09Draskh1    47:2|turbidity of the Ishmaelite brigands had become more severe than ever
09Draskh1    47:7|few years later, after they had returned and again controlled their

09Draskh1    48:3|blame of the evil which had occurred by displaying his wonderful
09Draskh1    48:4|as it may, king Smbat had taken refuge in the strongholds
09Draskh1    48:4|flames of the wickedness that had been brought upon the people
09Draskh1    48:5|For he had taken into his confidence the
09Draskh1    48:5|prince of Armenia Grigor, and had asked the caliph for terms
09Draskh1    48:5|put out the fire that had been set ablaze by the
09Draskh1    48:7|heard of these afflictions that had come upon us, he gathered
09Draskh1    48:8|princes, governors and certain chiefs had diminished through the deadly snares
09Draskh1    48:9|manner similar to that which had formerly befallen our Trdat
09Draskh1    48:11|and the yoke of Ishmael had become more burdensome than he
09Draskh1    48:14|many believers in Christ who had joined the forces of the
09Draskh1    48:16|fortress, and those Christians who had come to serve under the

09Draskh1    48:20|Dan the plot that he had made came to naught
09Draskh1    49:1|feet with iron fetters. They had prepared for him a hellish

09Draskh1    49:6|formerly David, despite his thirst, had offered the water from the

09Draskh1    49:16|blood from the venerable body had dripped, cured many who were
09Draskh1    50:1|away from there, until he had stealthily seized the fortress. He
09Draskh1    50:5|tidings of the calamity that had happened reached the ears of
09Draskh1    50:9|in his father’s domain, and had been taken by the ostikan
09Draskh1    50:10|the sword the guards (that had been left) by the Saracens

09Draskh1    50:15|from captivity those Christians who had been seized by the wicked
09Draskh1    50:16|learning that the Ishmaelite army had taken refuge in the strongholds
09Draskh1    50:19|armies realized that the Lord had come to the aid of
09Draskh1    51:1|war against the enemy, who had gathered in the region of
09Draskh1    51:3|feudal houses of Sisakan, who had retreated to their densely wooded
09Draskh1    51:4|bloody swords. For sinful passions had grown in the hearts of
09Draskh1    51:5|The foremost among the nobility had taken refuge in valleys, mountains
09Draskh1    51:7|Those who had been exhausted by the sudden
09Draskh1    51:7|by the sudden flight, and had fallen into the hands of
09Draskh1    51:7|well as young children, who had grown weak, were brought into

09Draskh1    51:14|Certain others who had been slighted and disregarded by
09Draskh1    51:14|and disregarded by them, and had ventured to depart quietly, they

09Draskh1    51:23|And thus, as they had all become quite conscious of
09Draskh1    51:23|laws.” Thereafter, considering those that had not been convicted as guilty
09Draskh1    51:24|Certain others, who had been seized elsewhere, were brought
09Draskh1    51:25|and after they had been questioned, (the enemy) made
09Draskh1    51:28|like a wall, and thus had the latter slay them by

09Draskh1    52:3|where the Son of Man had never dwelt. Thus, they turned
09Draskh1    52:7|of the foreign invaders, we had our eyes fixed on our
09Draskh1    53:19|Others who had fallen on the squares like
09Draskh1    53:19|great piles of corpses, and had been abandoned, while they were

09Draskh1    54:1|calamities and the hardships that had come upon us, wrote me
09Draskh1    54:19|However, our adversary who had trampled under foot the sanctuary
09Draskh1    54:20|and noticed that the invaders had reached the threshold (of his

09Draskh1    56:1|had come to Armenia, and had brought beneficence to that land
09Draskh1    56:6|But as the cunning ostikan had secretly intended to arouse sharp

09Draskh1    59:11|his brother Abas, whom he had set up as ’presiding prince’
09Draskh1    59:11|of the conspiracy that they had set against him because of
09Draskh1    59:15|having looted the emigrants that had been left behind, turned back

09Draskh1    60:19|to meet them. The foe had pitched camp in the glens
09Draskh1    60:20|to the top, where he had pitched his camp that whole
09Draskh1    60:27|the hundreds of men who had been exhausted because of the
09Draskh1    61:3|the name of Subuki, who had been set up as prince
09Draskh1    61:5|the ostikan Subuki, who still had not forgotten in his heart
09Draskh1    61:6|the inhabitants of the district had been previously aware of the
09Draskh1    61:6|incursion of the enemy, they had been unable to migrate totally
09Draskh1    61:7|women and young children, who had been unable to make haste
09Draskh1    62:1|and the treason that he had devised came to naught. (Thereupon
09Draskh1    62:3|As Vasak’s brother Ashot had been killed by the armed
09Draskh1    62:4|As soon as he had met prince Gurgen, the latter
09Draskh1    62:5|hand it over until he had restored Vasak to them
09Draskh1    62:7|even to Ashot, before he had restored Vasak to them. At
09Draskh1    62:9|and as soon as they had arrived, the guards opened before
09Draskh1    62:11|the men of the fortress had turned against each other. Thereupon
09Draskh1    62:14|and as soon as he had entered, he had all the
09Draskh1    62:14|as he had entered, he had all the forces of Gurgen
09Draskh1    63:1|After the above events had taken place, the shahanshah arrived
09Draskh1    63:1|harsh words those whom he had subordinated. If there were people
09Draskh1    63:7|was Amram, but the people had nicknamed him C’lik (‘Little Bull’
09Draskh1    63:7|physique, and whom the shahanshah had placed in charge of the
09Draskh1    63:10|the majority of the people had abandoned and turned their backs
09Draskh1    63:15|and difficult passage that they had taken, because precipices covered with
09Draskh1    64:2|neighbors and relatives, whom he had bound to himself in friendship
09Draskh1    64:2|his relatives and people who had been honored by him, displayed
09Draskh1    64:3|the hearts of some, who had been pleased by means of
09Draskh1    64:3|with great forces, until he had brought them to submission
09Draskh1    64:4|to please the tyrant. Danger had taught him how to save
09Draskh1    64:6|for the distress that he had caused them
09Draskh1    64:9|and Albania, whom he himself had seized and brought to the
09Draskh1    64:9|was feared by those who had either heard or seen him
09Draskh1    64:10|He also maintained that Yusuf had been set right by his
09Draskh1    64:13|But as king Gagik had been informed of his coming
09Draskh1    64:19|the wicked plans which he had devised (in his mind) for
09Draskh1    64:24|remained (in Rotakk’), until he had set up ostikans, deputies and
09Draskh1    65:1|flatteringly nicknamed Subuki, and who had been sent to Armenia by
09Draskh1    65:3|rob both of them who had been deceived. Subsequently, Nasr also
09Draskh1    65:7|realized that ready-made success had come to him, he set
09Draskh1    65:7|at the place where he had spent the night
09Draskh1    65:9|As soon as he had entered the city, he put
09Draskh1    65:9|both Sahak and Babgen, who had been seized together, and putting
09Draskh1    65:14|we noticed that the sun had been eclipsed at the morning
09Draskh1    65:19|and the livestock which we had abandoned much against our will
09Draskh1    65:20|my own dzerakert which I had acquired through ganjagin. Here I
09Draskh1    65:20|acquired through ganjagin. Here I had built a church constructed with
09Draskh1    65:20|and adorned with paintings. I had founded this place as a
09Draskh1    65:21|As soon as we had reached Biwrakan, I immediately sent
09Draskh1    65:21|the horrible afflictions that he had inflicted on certain others, namely
09Draskh1    65:22|I stated that I had fled fearing such agonies, and
09Draskh1    66:6|them the possessions that they had hidden. They tortured them to
09Draskh1    66:8|and told him what they had accomplished, the result was that
09Draskh1    66:9|However, as I had learned of their shadowy and
09Draskh1    66:9|dark plots sometime earlier, and had pondered on the matter as
09Draskh1    66:11|and His foreknowledge of that had brought them close to the
09Draskh1    66:12|firing of their secret darts had not remained unknown to me
09Draskh1    66:12|me, and their clandestine snares had been uncovered, and when they
09Draskh1    66:12|they found out that I had escaped, they stopped to pitch
09Draskh1    66:13|cellars in accordance with what had been written, and shut their
09Draskh1    66:15|Among those who had entered the fortress were certain
09Draskh1    66:15|world. As soon as they had heard whispers concerning the wicked
09Draskh1    66:17|with the armed cavalry that had come to join them, they
09Draskh1    66:18|that day the two sides had scarcely met one another, when
09Draskh1    66:20|the truth of which he had penetrated. He entreated the clerics
09Draskh1    66:26|people of the fortress who had crowded on top of the
09Draskh1    66:33|dismal intent of exacting vengeance, had made frequent assaults for a
09Draskh1    66:42|for prior to that he had been wounded by the arrows
09Draskh1    66:52|land of Sagastan, and who had led a life of rigid
09Draskh1    66:53|except for a few who had departed from there prior to
09Draskh1    66:56|and wives of those that had been killed, and having mounted
09Draskh1    66:58|woes in their hearts, they had no other consolation than the
09Draskh1    66:59|captives the Ishmaelite forces also had at their disposal two men
09Draskh1    66:59|layman, and both of them had the same name, Kiwrakos
09Draskh1    66:60|prayers of the blessed who had been killed were remembered before
09Draskh1    66:60|before God, and His Providence had them mercifully redeemed in the
09Draskh1    66:62|the two namesakes, whom they had brought along with the captives
09Draskh1    66:65|with the captives they also had brought with them the soldiers
09Draskh1    66:65|with them the soldiers who had betrayed the fortress into the
09Draskh1    67:3|But Bishr, whom he had left behind him, gathered a
09Draskh1    67:3|that the so called shahanshah had not submitted to them
09Draskh1    67:4|But as the latter had taken refuge in the impregnable
09Draskh1    67:4|the very few people that had remained, ravaging (their possessions), and
09Draskh1    67:4|land was in ruins and had been stripped of its population
09Draskh1    67:6|men with him, whereas Bishr had about one thousand soldiers. Yet
09Draskh1    67:9|his escape as if he had attained victory by personal valor
09Draskh1    67:14|he noticed the multitude that had reached the gate of the
09Draskh1    67:16|numerous threats. At first I had gone to Ashot, the scion
09Draskh1    67:18|its villages and estates (gerdastan) had been entirely seized by Nasr
09Draskh1    67:18|seized by Nasr, and we had been left without a residence
09Draskh1    67:18|total number of the warriors had greatly diminished and declined
09Draskh1    67:23|when he noticed that Smbat had taken extreme measures of precaution
09Draskh1    67:23|conditions of peace. After he had received many gifts from prince
09Draskh1    67:24|As soon as he had received the discharge of the
09Draskh1    67:24|his brother Sahak until he had received the promised payment in
09Draskh1    67:25|remembered the threats that he had made, and struck with terror
09Draskh1    67:27|ostikan learned that the fortress had been evacuated by its inhabitants
09Draskh1    67:28|the course that the Creator had designed for us we had
09Draskh1    67:28|had designed for us we had directed our glance to the
09Draskh1    67:29|Lord says, “If my people had listened to me, or if
09Draskh1    67:29|to me, or if Israel had walked in my ways, I

10Tovma1    1:13|Although Joseph had no share in the birth
10Tovma1    1:14|on the grounds that he had come as a foreigner to
10Tovma1    1:16|the mountain Sim, which mountain had been so named after their
10Tovma1    1:17|But because Nebrot had destroyed Nineveh when he overthrew
10Tovma1    1:21|to information from what others had said previously, and not a
10Tovma1    1:24|as but a day. It had no need of a foreign
10Tovma1    1:30|occasion of this transgression he had the most wisdom of all
10Tovma1    1:31|the earth from which he had been taken. So what shall
10Tovma1    1:42|multiplication of humanity. For Adam had many other sons and daughters
10Tovma1    1:43|he begat Enos. The latter had hope to call on the
10Tovma1    1:43|honour of God’s care, and had hope even more ardently to
10Tovma1    1:44|that by foolish supposition (Adam) had wished to become divine
10Tovma1    1:45|to their sons what they had received for safekeeping; whence this
10Tovma1    1:52|But they had been given a command to
10Tovma1    1:52|the fact that whereas he had shown in them his honourable
10Tovma1    1:52|calling them his sons, they had overthrown the natural order by
10Tovma1    1:54|was corrupted; for all flesh had corrupted its path on earth
10Tovma1    1:54|strength of their arm. They had no concern at all for
10Tovma1    1:54|So God repented that he had created man
10Tovma1    1:61|there died. There the ark had been built and terrible evils
10Tovma1    1:65|does not seems to have had any more sons, while the
10Tovma1    2:11|image of his son who had died prematurely
10Tovma1    2:13|Eber, son of Sałay, who had not agreed to join the
10Tovma1    2:18|books of the ancients they had orders from the kings to

10Tovma1    3:29|across a female ass which had a foal. We immediately attached
10Tovma1    3:29|to the army. When we had entered fifteen miles, two birds

10Tovma1    5:3|Tigran. For Cyrus and Tigran had become mutual allies and were
10Tovma1    5:3|But before Tigran and Cyrus had joined forces, Ashdahak sent gifts
10Tovma1    5:4|from Varbakes the Mede, who had seized the kingdom from Sardanapalos
10Tovma1    5:7|waited some time, because he had previously given them in service
10Tovma1    5:9|each other; after the battle had lasted for a long time
10Tovma1    5:10|For the Lydian king had covered his horse all over
10Tovma1    5:12|Lydian kingdom. When this venture had been successfully concluded, Xerxes and
10Tovma1    5:13|Now when Cyrus had become sole ruler of the

10Tovma1    6:22|to Egyptthe land he had been given by Alexanderand
10Tovma1    6:22|been given by Alexanderand had a liberal stipend arranged for
10Tovma1    6:24|his death (bed) Alexander, who had ruled his kingdom alone strictly
10Tovma1    6:26|After Ptolemy had gained control of his inheritance
10Tovma1    6:28|it to Alexander. For Alexander had never allowed anyone to suppose
10Tovma1    6:30|authority which Tigran and Cyrus had given them, they lived ignoble
10Tovma1    6:32|When Vałarshak had ascertained his family, province, land
10Tovma1    6:32|Artsuik’. Furthermore, by chance he had the distinguishing feature of possessing
10Tovma1    6:37|accordance with their ignobility. She had the archives, which were written
10Tovma1    6:38|to here Alexander of Macedon had this written: from Senek’erim down
10Tovma1    6:39|and another Theodore K’ert’oł; they had (all) studied under Levond the

10Tovma1    6:54|He had five sons, among them Herod
10Tovma1    6:54|and Philipp, whose wife Herod had taken, abandoning his own first
10Tovma1    6:56|against Herod for what he had donejust as later they
10Tovma1    6:57|son Ananun became king. He had not inherited his father’s faith
10Tovma1    6:57|worship of idols that Abgar had scorned and rejected. He also
10Tovma1    6:58|held. But before the war had come to a conclusion, a

10Tovma1    6:60|Helena of Armenia, Abgar’s wife, had been unwilling to remain in
10Tovma1    6:60|of the impious Sanatruk and had gone to the holy city

10Tovma1    7:9|border of Media.” And he had the child’s needs taken to

10Tovma1    7:10|and brought before Eruand. He had been unable to escape and
10Tovma1    7:10|the place where his ancestor had dwelt in the land of
10Tovma1    7:15|then returned with Artashēs, who had taken Eruand’s kingdom in the
10Tovma1    7:15|the land which Tigran Haykazn had given in inheritance (to their
10Tovma1    7:15|their family), but which Sanatruk had confiscated to the court: the

10Tovma1    8:13|archers. But since their clan had diminished, they had no one
10Tovma1    8:13|their clan had diminished, they had no one powerful enough to

10Tovma1    8:14|named the castle, and she had many treasures and a daughter

10Tovma1    10:9|the Lord, and in everything had recourse to the advice of
10Tovma1    10:15|of his deeds; as he had treated the saints Vrt’anēs and
10Tovma1    10:15|meted out to him. He had reigned for sixteen years
10Tovma1    10:16|of the Mamikonean nobility who had gone off and fortified themselves

10Tovma1    10:18|and the martyr Athanagines, which had been built by our Holy
10Tovma1    10:19|evil among men, but even had presumptions against God and his
10Tovma1    10:29|reference to the evils that had been done between them. He
10Tovma1    10:29|him in iron bonds and had him taken to the fortress
10Tovma1    10:34|Holy Hṙip’simeank’, which Saint Gregory had built and where are preserved
10Tovma1    10:35|and the Jews that Barzap’ran had brought captive at Tigran’s orders
10Tovma1    10:35|the days of Saint Gregory had believed in Christ, causing them
10Tovma1    10:45|the business for which they had come; and when they had
10Tovma1    10:45|had come; and when they had gone some distance away from
10Tovma1    10:45|his mother Tachatuhi, for they had both forsworn Christ. Then he

10Tovma1    11:7|blood relative Mehuzhan: how he had been sincerely loyal to the
10Tovma1    11:8|Terentius. And before a reply had come back from the king
10Tovma1    11:8|without delay. He (the emperor) had him sent to the islands
10Tovma1    11:9|worthy of record. And Zavēn had been appointed archbishop of Armenia
10Tovma1    11:11|Arcadius, (including) Samuel Mamikonean, who had killed his father Vahan and
10Tovma1    11:13|King Shapuh learned what Arshak had done, he made a certain

10Tovma1    11:26|half the country to themselves, had pretensions to rule over the
10Tovma1    11:31|people. And because Hamazasp Mamikonean had died, who at the time
10Tovma1    11:31|died, who at the time had held the positions of marzpan
10Tovma1    11:32|with the holy teacher Mashtots’ had gone to the emperor Theodosius
10Tovma1    11:35|for a while the country had a respite from the disorders
10Tovma1    11:35|five years taxes and troops had been withheld from the Persian

10Tovma1    11:48|After all this had so occurred, having lived for
10Tovma1    11:49|the house of Armenia. It had lasted [415] years before being abolished
10Tovma1    11:52|of Armenia, the emperor Theodosius had entrusted the office of sparapet

10Tovma2    3:5|him his nephew Philipikos; he had him take a letter of
10Tovma2    3:9|of their religion, and he had salt wrapped in the declaration
10Tovma2    3:20|Jerusalem. For they (its inhabitants) had previously been subject to the
10Tovma2    3:24|torture people; not until they had executed many of the clerics

10Tovma2    3:36|seeing such a loss, they had no more enthusiasm for that
10Tovma2    3:42|the insults which the enemy had inflicted on him
10Tovma2    3:46|This the ancient historian had previously realised, clearly foretelling their
10Tovma2    3:54|troops of his army who had escaped from the battle
10Tovma2    3:57|horses on which King Khosrov had come to Ctesiphon. They seized
10Tovma2    3:62|to death, all of whom had reached maturity
10Tovma2    3:65|Armenia, and everything that Heraclius had ever desired. So he greatly
10Tovma2    3:68|he himself trusted. When Khoṙeam had received the troops and had
10Tovma2    3:68|had received the troops and had entered the capital, he commanded
10Tovma2    3:69|it to the men who had come (for that purpose). On
10Tovma2    3:72|and all the borders which had been established in the time
10Tovma2    4:1|tribes of Israel, for they had seen that the Persian army
10Tovma2    4:1|seen that the Persian army had left and abandoned the city
10Tovma2    4:2|city called Madiam, which Israel had destroyed on leaving Egypt in
10Tovma2    4:2|And because the Persian power had become very weak, they fearlessly
10Tovma2    4:6|When some time had passed, the master of the
10Tovma2    4:7|monk called Sargis Bhira, who had been a disciple of the
10Tovma2    4:10|travelling companions asked why he had lost his wits, he note

10Tovma2    6:1|of the royal tribute Musē had gathered troops and come to
10Tovma2    6:4|After the messengers had appeared before the great prince
10Tovma2    6:4|great prince Ashot and he had read the begging letter and
10Tovma2    6:4|of the pact which they had confirmed between each other with
10Tovma2    6:15|the princes pursued those who had fled into the fortified places
10Tovma2    6:15|deeds of valour which God had granted them through Ashot. She
10Tovma2    6:17|his wicked plan and inclination had not been fulfilled and that
10Tovma2    6:17|fulfilled and that his army had suffered severe reverses, he made
10Tovma2    6:17|what Ashot, prince of Vaspurakan, had accomplished
10Tovma2    6:28|especially through fear. For he had hidden much treasure in a
10Tovma2    6:34|solution to the events that had brought this grievous news to
10Tovma2    6:40|laws of the Lord and had ears only for the cruel
10Tovma2    6:40|the wine of folly; they had eyes with which they would
10Tovma2    6:43|father Apusēt’; for the latter had died on the journey, in
10Tovma2    6:43|harm on them as they had planned
10Tovma2    6:53|of the winter season that had arrived and the fierceness of
10Tovma2    6:54|the treacherous trickery whereby he had deceived him, and took with
10Tovma2    7:2|buried roots and plants that had been numbed by the icy
10Tovma2    7:4|mountain saw that their prince had been taken into captivity, they
10Tovma2    7:4|endure the same anguish as had the lowlanders. The light-armed
10Tovma2    7:6|a very tall church which had been built by Prince Bagarat
10Tovma3    1:2|concord, though in secret they had suspicions of treachery
10Tovma3    1:7|things they wrote that Armenians had not done; and all the
10Tovma3    1:12|vessels of anger,” which he had gathered and preserved there under
10Tovma3    1:17|of the impieties that we had all committed, from the least
10Tovma3    1:17|When the generals had entered his presence, the caliph
10Tovma3    1:21|each of the generals who had come to him gifts and
10Tovma3    1:24|After he had accurately enquired into all this
10Tovma3    1:28|whom Satan with his power had made his lair, immediately left
10Tovma3    2:1|having marched through Apahunik’. He had divided his army into two
10Tovma3    2:1|army into two divisions and had commanded them to enter the
10Tovma3    2:2|vengeance for the deeds he had wrought and his rebellion from
10Tovma3    2:7|in search of those who had fled. On catching up with
10Tovma3    2:10|heroic valour as if they had been (more) numerous. Their memory
10Tovma3    2:15|and had as sword the Lord’s saying
10Tovma3    2:18|Spirit, remembered what the Saviour had note: “Do not fear those
10Tovma3    2:25|the town of Artamet; he had heard of it from a
10Tovma3    2:25|the valley of Shatuan, who had been among the executioners and
10Tovma3    2:25|been among the executioners and had been present at the spot
10Tovma3    2:25|until the saint’s death, and had taken to heart the psalm
10Tovma3    2:25|psalm that the blessed one had spoken
10Tovma3    2:29|out of the danger that had befallen them
10Tovma3    2:30|troops discovered that the prince had entered the castle, they pursued
10Tovma3    2:32|of the province of Amatunik’ had fled to the valley near
10Tovma3    2:44|as naught the marauders who had attacked and surrounded him. For
10Tovma3    2:44|the battalions of nobles who had entered the fortress of Nkan
10Tovma3    2:46|to abandon the plans he had formed, disengage the warfare, and
10Tovma3    2:48|company (one) named Vahram, they had him take a letter to
10Tovma3    2:55|When the great general had read the secret message of
10Tovma3    2:59|prince realised that their wickedness had been revealed in their eyes
10Tovma3    2:72|I am.” When he (Bugha) had heard the same response two
10Tovma3    2:73|prince of Mokk’, since he had been greatly loved by the
10Tovma3    2:73|loved by the general and had received the greatest gifts and
10Tovma3    2:73|was unable to endure what had happened. In deep distress, he
10Tovma3    3:3|the court, he (the caliph) had his feet bound with double
10Tovma3    3:3|bound with double chains and had him put in prison. He

10Tovma3    3:4|His vizier had written and informed the monarch
10Tovma3    3:4|the monarch of whatever he had done up to that time
10Tovma3    4:1|the prisoners at that time had emerged from prison, were still
10Tovma3    4:1|girt with their swords, and had their shields on their backs
10Tovma3    4:1|saw their wives and children had been brought among the lay
10Tovma3    4:3|what deeds of valour they had accomplished
10Tovma3    4:6|not listen to him. He had gifts brought, but even so
10Tovma3    4:7|they greatly rejoiced that they had become worthy to die for
10Tovma3    4:8|commandments. But he (the patrik) had deferred and hindered his eager
10Tovma3    4:9|The Muslim had entered the fortress with the
10Tovma3    4:9|when it was taken, they had urged the captives to abandon
10Tovma3    4:9|be put to death. Many had been swayed and turned to
10Tovma3    4:14|the place wherever his blood had spattered
10Tovma3    4:20|Elamites, Babylonians, and Arabs, who had come with him to wage
10Tovma3    4:22|great and impregnable fortress they had taken refuge in the valiant
10Tovma3    4:22|Armenian troops with him. He had sent his mother, the princess
10Tovma3    4:23|When the princess had entered the camp and come
10Tovma3    4:23|the matter on which they had come
10Tovma3    4:26|The troops who had pursued Gurgēn reached the borders
10Tovma3    4:31|to follow the messengers who had brought the invitation. When the
10Tovma3    4:31|two miles from them, they had decided that if he were
10Tovma3    4:32|called Smbat’s castle, for it had been destroyed in previous times
10Tovma3    4:37|the camp, and when they had finished their prayers and said
10Tovma3    4:38|helmet, and cuirass which he had put on, and shouted at
10Tovma3    4:43|Before they had yet reached the Armenian force
10Tovma3    4:44|appease them but that they had given a general order to
10Tovma3    4:55|infantry; the right wing he had entrusted to Apdlmkdēm
10Tovma3    4:62|the fugitives until the night had become quite dark. They expelled
10Tovma3    4:63|A certain Ashkhē who had come with the royal army
10Tovma3    4:64|In his right hand he had a sword and in his
10Tovma3    4:65|and when it lessened they had a little respite from the
10Tovma3    5:2|a mere nine hundred men had mightily vanquished fifteen thousand, since
10Tovma3    5:2|vanquished fifteen thousand, since they had discovered for certain that each
10Tovma3    5:2|for certain that each (Armenian) had struck down two of theirs
10Tovma3    5:2|and the prisoners. Unwillingly they had to set forth the course
10Tovma3    5:3|when the angel of God had appeared from heaven. Thereby they
10Tovma3    5:7|Armenian army was encamped, they had the letter brought, full of
10Tovma3    5:8|When he had read the letter and the
10Tovma3    5:9|being a rebel. Rather he had the standards and flags unfurled
10Tovma3    5:11|After three days had passed they had a letter
10Tovma3    5:11|three days had passed they had a letter taken to Gurgēn
10Tovma3    5:11|letter taken to Gurgēn; it had been written by Bugha and
10Tovma3    5:11|caliph’s ring as if it had come from the caliph personally
10Tovma3    5:15|When they had given (Gurgēn) this letter which
10Tovma3    5:17|princess saw that her sons had been carried off into captivity
10Tovma3    5:20|the general realised that he had succeeded in everything as he
10Tovma3    5:20|succeeded in everything as he had wished and in accordance with
10Tovma3    5:20|the evil plan that they had formulated against the principality of
10Tovma3    5:20|against the principality of Vaspurakan had been carried to conclusion; he
10Tovma3    5:20|been carried to conclusion; he had removed all the powerful men
10Tovma3    5:20|face of our land; they had followed him (Bugha) with their
10Tovma3    5:20|Bugha) with their families, and had set to dividing the land
10Tovma3    5:21|the man of whom they had been somewhat nervouson that
10Tovma3    5:21|nervouson that score they had been rendered even more secure
10Tovma3    5:22|entire land such as there had not been from the beginning
10Tovma3    5:23|lamented over the misery which had befallen, saying: “The land was
10Tovma3    5:25|city of Dvin which he had prepared as his winter quarters
10Tovma3    6:5|the city that the king had taken his seat in the

10Tovma3    6:7|his powerful might the king had even been forced to assemble
10Tovma3    6:7|subjected to his authority; he had exerted himself with great effort
10Tovma3    6:7|by day and night; he had been weighed down by great
10Tovma3    6:7|and suspense; sleep at night had not seemed sweet to him
10Tovma3    6:7|delights of the daytime he had regarded as naught
10Tovma3    6:8|He had found scarcely any way to
10Tovma3    6:31|Although they had not intended to turn in

10Tovma3    6:34|the city of Khlat’. He had been prince of Tarōn, was
10Tovma3    6:35|related to the Artsruni family, had gone to Samarra of his
10Tovma3    6:35|will before their arrest and had apostatised. In him Satan had
10Tovma3    6:35|had apostatised. In him Satan had taken root with all his
10Tovma3    6:35|through all his snares he had cunningly bound with an indissoluble
10Tovma3    6:35|his thrice wretched soul. Satan had formed him into a tool
10Tovma3    6:43|homonym John the Baptist, who had been arrested by Herod and
10Tovma3    6:46|the tyrant realised that he had been worsted by these holy
10Tovma3    6:46|ensnare them like those who had turned away from the faith
10Tovma3    6:56|than poisonous beasts. But he had good consolation from the saying
10Tovma3    6:60|that the holy lord Gregory had fallen asleep with a good
10Tovma3    6:60|to the omnipotent Christ who had strengthened the holy martyr and
10Tovma3    7:3|of idolatry. And he (Elkesai) had the thought that if anyone

10Tovma3    8:11|the same time, when he had fulfilled all his wicked desires
10Tovma3    8:11|against the holy church and had destroyed many of the band

10Tovma3    8:17|midst of the crowd which had rushed to see the saints’
10Tovma3    8:17|robe of baptism which they had put on by water and

10Tovma3    8:24|the glory of God who had strengthened the saints and shamed
10Tovma3    9:2|waves. He remembered what he had done to Ashot and his
10Tovma3    9:2|valiant courage; and since he had been unable to resist him
10Tovma3    9:4|he reassembled the forces they had previously had in each clan
10Tovma3    9:4|the forces they had previously had in each clan with their
10Tovma3    9:5|without worryespecially as he had previously taken the precaution of

10Tovma3    9:6|the caliph; and the sparapet had acted as his guide in
10Tovma3    9:6|into the (various) provinces. He had indicated the strength of each
10Tovma3    9:7|previously named P’aytakaran. Their city had been built of pinewood: the

10Tovma3    9:16|she told the caliph what had happened, of the complaint that

10Tovma3    10:9|defeated. After a few days had passed, once more battle was
10Tovma3    10:9|for many of their troops had fallen
10Tovma3    10:12|When he heard that Bugha had brought troops and was already
10Tovma3    10:12|courageous heartespecially as he had seen that he (Bugha) had
10Tovma3    10:12|had seen that he (Bugha) had been defeated and beaten by
10Tovma3    10:18|became hesitant. For although he had frequently waged war with them
10Tovma3    10:18|them in previous battles, he had been unable to reduce their
10Tovma3    10:19|sword and captivity. If you had come from court as a
10Tovma3    10:27|with astonishment. All his plans had been destroyed and scattered. He
10Tovma3    10:32|and entered the strongholds they had built. The mountaineer troops of
10Tovma3    10:35|or went out, for he had entered his chamber with shame

10Tovma3    10:41|any of the kings who had held sway over the ends
10Tovma3    10:45|the host of the army had been assembled in one place
10Tovma3    10:45|two hundred thousand, and they had formed ranks and drawn up
10Tovma3    10:45|up their lines, and champions had called their opponents out to
10Tovma3    10:46|thought that they (the Ałuank’) had been delivered into their hands
10Tovma3    10:51|the caliph of what they had done and how the royal
10Tovma3    10:51|and how the royal army had been defeated
10Tovma3    10:52|until the messengers whom they had sent should return from the
10Tovma3    10:53|now called Dmishk, whence they had set out following Bugha
10Tovma3    10:54|disobey his wishes. The latter had written to Bugha not to

10Tovma3    10:55|arms and select horses. He had brought before him (Apumusē) richly
10Tovma3    10:56|unkindly, neither recalling what he had done, nor causing him any
10Tovma3    10:57|After a few days had passed, he had him taken
10Tovma3    10:57|few days had passed, he had him taken to the caliph
10Tovma3    11:4|anger as the general Bugha had never vented on anyone else
10Tovma3    11:5|feet and hands bound. He had iron rods brought, and they
10Tovma3    11:5|bestower of unbounded gifts, who had made them worthy to die
10Tovma3    11:10|he was still alive, (Bugha) had a massive and very tall
10Tovma3    11:12|an opened tombwhereby he had seduced many away from the
10Tovma3    11:16|unconquerable power with which he had strengthened the saints for the
10Tovma3    11:16|like a fiery furnace. He had wood brought, and they placed
10Tovma3    11:22|of his invasion into Armenia, had opposed him with the inhabitants
10Tovma3    11:22|inhabitants of the mountain and had inflicted severe losses on the
10Tovma3    11:22|arrested the blessed Yovnan and had him taken in bonds to
10Tovma3    11:23|heroic exploit when he (Yovnan) had resisted the general and reminded
10Tovma3    11:27|long since despised you and had not the slightest fear in
10Tovma3    11:31|When Bugha had carried out his plans against
10Tovma3    11:33|until his affair with Apumusē had been carried through. But after
10Tovma3    11:33|through. But after the latter had been arrested and the general
10Tovma3    11:33|single Armenian prince remained who had not joined him, he then

10Tovma3    11:35|Smbat, lord of Shak’ē, who had captured Baban; the princes Vasak
10Tovma3    11:35|and then Esayi Apumusē, who had waged many wars
10Tovma3    11:36|and the general. For he had followed their wishes with all
10Tovma3    12:1|After the principality had been abolished from the land
10Tovma3    12:2|armies from among those who had escaped the sword and captivity
10Tovma3    12:4|No man had mercy on his brother, in
10Tovma3    13:10|When Bugha had completed his passage through the

10Tovma3    13:20|In a single raid Apumk’dēm had slain eight men and stripped
10Tovma3    13:20|horses, arms, and accoutrements. He had inflicted great losses on the
10Tovma3    13:20|losses on the Muslims and had again made incursions in pursuit
10Tovma3    13:26|Armenians) realised that their general had been killed and that their
10Tovma3    13:26|and that their right arm had been crushed, they turned in
10Tovma3    13:32|which dwelt the Muslims who had remained there at Bugha’s orders
10Tovma3    13:34|the nobility of Vaspurakan who had joined the royal army, about
10Tovma3    13:38|and then returned thinking they had completely destroyed the Armenian army
10Tovma3    13:39|of Vaspurakan, for great fear had fallen upon them
10Tovma3    13:42|him in peaceful friendship. He had brought to him, as the
10Tovma3    13:47|After four years had passed, during which time Lord
10Tovma3    13:54|Samarra to inform Ashot what had transpired. But Grigor lived for
10Tovma3    13:55|and the noble troops who had joined him did not merely
10Tovma3    14:1|seventh year that the princes had been at court, in accordance
10Tovma3    14:1|of time, just as God had allotted for the people of
10Tovma3    14:3|intercession of the saints who had shed their blood for the
10Tovma3    14:6|those days, when the caliph had delighted the Armenian princes in
10Tovma3    14:6|in his banqueting hall and had promised to restore to each
10Tovma3    14:7|of the land of Vaspurakan had been given to Ashot and
10Tovma3    14:7|royal decree that the caliph had sent Grigor, son of Ashot
10Tovma3    14:10|order to the land that had been troubled and ruined
10Tovma3    14:11|For although (the other) Gurgēn had opposed with great energy the
10Tovma3    14:13|first Gurgēn, for the latter had seized and was occupying the
10Tovma3    14:14|caliph of the Muslims,” who had heard of his prowess in
10Tovma3    14:14|and of the defeats he had inflicted on the Muslim army
10Tovma3    14:14|was suspicious of what he had done with Ashot
10Tovma3    14:15|Gurgēn, fully remembering what they had negotiated under oath and aware
10Tovma3    14:15|of what his own father had suffered from the other’s father
10Tovma3    14:19|latter was irritated at what had occurred, nonetheless he hesitated to
10Tovma3    14:29|of Armenia; and the country had respite from the confusions that
10Tovma3    14:29|respite from the confusions that had befallen it
10Tovma3    14:30|the pains and afflictions they had endured
10Tovma3    14:33|from Christ, from whom they had fallen away
10Tovma3    14:37|Derenik was sleeping. The servant had the evil intention of killing
10Tovma3    14:40|the sad news that (Gurgēn) had died; he was a mad
10Tovma3    14:40|folly, (who did) what he had not been ordered to do
10Tovma3    14:41|the bonds in which he had fettered him, as compensation for
10Tovma3    14:42|blessed Zak’aria heard that Gurgēn had been seized, he made haste
10Tovma3    14:45|since the oversight of Armenia had been entrusted to Ashot, who
10Tovma3    14:47|of Derenik and how he had been seized, he marched rapidly
10Tovma3    14:50|And because Derenik’s wife had just died, Gurgēn wrote to
10Tovma3    15:2|from the prison where they had been thrown. They reached our
10Tovma3    15:9|and at death’s door. He had a son who was an
10Tovma3    15:16|But since Derenik had been false to Gurgēn, he
10Tovma3    15:20|about the tremendous deeds he had accomplished, and suppose that by
10Tovma3    15:20|by his own power he had presided over the destruction of
10Tovma3    16:1|of (the town) called Kzuin had revolted against the rule of
10Tovma3    16:3|He had promised to bring about Ashot’s
10Tovma3    16:3|the campaign on which they had set out
10Tovma3    16:8|of the citizens (of Qazvin) had the upper hand over Musē
10Tovma3    16:10|front ranks as if they had been hit by lightning. As
10Tovma3    17:8|Prince Derenik, unaware of what had happened, on that same day
10Tovma3    17:8|he was informed of what had occurred, he turned back and
10Tovma3    18:0|freeing of the places which had been seized by them
10Tovma3    18:1|one hundred years previously it had been forcibly removed from the
10Tovma3    18:2|the fortresses (of that province) had killed Ṙstom Varazhnuni, who at
10Tovma3    18:3|of the Muslims. For they had seized it and subjected to
10Tovma3    18:3|of the Holy Cross, and had even captured the abbot of
10Tovma3    18:4|Saint Hṙip’simē which Saint Gregory had built above the village of
10Tovma3    18:5|For in that spot had formerly been the site of
10Tovma3    18:5|of Vaheavahan. But when he had approached the stronghold to besiege
10Tovma3    18:10|peace, calm the dispute that had arisen, and quench the conflict
10Tovma3    18:10|and quench the conflict that had flared up. To these (proposals
10Tovma3    18:11|the same road that he had come, not allowing him to
10Tovma3    18:14|all the Armenian princes who had returned from captivity
10Tovma3    18:23|When Ashot had completed his life, he died
10Tovma3    19:15|letting no one know what had happened

10Tovma3    20:7|holding him, namely: he (Derenik) had married David the brother of
10Tovma3    20:18|in the letter which Ahmat’ had treacherously written to Yamanik in
10Tovma3    20:19|assumed that his last hour had come
10Tovma3    20:20|the same way as he had come
10Tovma3    20:26|For the prince of Tarōn had great reverence for the office
10Tovma3    20:28|impregnable, and no little treasure had been accumulated in it over

10Tovma3    20:33|and informed him of what had occurred
10Tovma3    20:37|curopalates (to do) what Hasan had fruitlessly done. But whether this

10Tovma3    20:39|back Ahmat’ in disgrace and had frustrated the plan they had
10Tovma3    20:39|had frustrated the plan they had schemed against Armenia, he thought

10Tovma3    20:41|so just as he (Hasan) had feigned a mock illness to
10Tovma3    20:51|to prevent him. For they had heard through the circular letter
10Tovma3    20:51|that Ashot prince of princes had laid an ambush for him
10Tovma3    20:53|help of the Persian army had been waiting for many days
10Tovma3    20:59|The emir had given a signal, like that

10Tovma3    22:9|land of Mokk’. While Gurgēn (had) the eastern regions, from the
10Tovma3    22:12|details of Gagik’s intentions, they had no desire to continue supporting
10Tovma3    22:13|son of Apusech, Awshin, who had brought his Persian dynasty to

10Tovma3    22:28|powerful warriors, especially because they had often acquired a victorious reputation
10Tovma3    22:29|Indeed he had previously known (of them) by

10Tovma3    29:43|Gagik was supreme general he had begun his constructions. He built
10Tovma3    29:43|Ostan of Ṙshtunik’’, where there had previously been the walled palace
10Tovma3    29:44|the position) to which he had been called. The general set
10Tovma3    29:50|boundaries of the villages he had transferred
10Tovma3    29:51|meant a verbal warning, and had a clear announcement broadcast to
10Tovma3    29:53|events of his time clearly had reference to the mystery of
10Tovma3    29:54|Prince Gagik had formed a navigable route over
10Tovma3    29:59|In such fashion had the glorious Trdat taken proper
10Tovma3    29:65|reason for the attack which had befallen them. He returned a
10Tovma3    29:74|Eṙenay Yamats’, and by evening had arrived at the river called
10Tovma3    29:80|elders and nobles, presenting what had happened as a misfortune and
10Tovma4    1:3|the wicked race of Ismaelites had seized a long time before
10Tovma4    1:3|long time before. His ancestors had striven for it, but without
10Tovma4    1:5|of Ěṙnay, which the Muslims had seized so long before that
10Tovma4    1:5|mention of it, or what had happened to it over many
10Tovma4    1:7|the immortal nature that we had in paradiselikewise here too
10Tovma4    1:13|Since Gagik had married Hasan’s sister, he therefore
10Tovma4    1:14|prince, describing how the affair had turned out. Immediately the prince
10Tovma4    1:15|whose accomplice this rebel Gagik had been, were continually plotting to
10Tovma4    1:20|At that time he had been preceded by the impious
10Tovma4    1:23|For the prince had gone out hunting unaccompanied by
10Tovma4    1:25|previously advised by his accomplices, had taken with him some strong
10Tovma4    1:28|Ashot, Gagik, and Gurgēn, who had not yet reached maturity, therefore
10Tovma4    1:34|his bodyguard, whom the prince had raised and on whom he
10Tovma4    1:35|that fell to the ground had dried in the heat of
10Tovma4    1:40|The princess, who had trusted in the invincible power
10Tovma4    1:42|When the event had been confirmed and the news
10Tovma4    1:43|in groups Jewish singers, and had them chant the laments of
10Tovma4    1:46|were informed by those who had witnessed the events and who
10Tovma4    2:8|submissive to Apumruan, for he had become his son-in-law
10Tovma4    2:10|the castle called Nkan, and had them imprisoned and guarded with
10Tovma4    2:11|castle of Shamiram. For he had tricked Ashot like a young
10Tovma4    3:1|Christ the king of all had previously designated the blessed youth
10Tovma4    3:1|wisdom, fulfilling in him what had been said by the prophet
10Tovma4    3:2|very grievous afflictions that unremittingly had followed on each other, and
10Tovma4    3:4|amazement to me: although he had neither gifts nor possessions to
10Tovma4    3:6|Ashot was. Both of them had despaired of deliverance
10Tovma4    3:18|he returned them since he had disregarded him during his days
10Tovma4    3:26|fine gifts. But since suspicion had not departed from both their
10Tovma4    3:35|arrived, a eunuch whom he had appointed to govern the city
10Tovma4    3:36|presence the men whom he had left as deputies in the
10Tovma4    3:37|vengeance for the evils he had inflicted on Armenia. God did
10Tovma4    3:39|son of Vasak the apostate, had rendered the emir Ap’shin
10Tovma4    3:40|which Gagik, son of Vahan, had seized and then given over
10Tovma4    3:45|Gagik, the prince’s brother, had intervened and made many efforts
10Tovma4    3:49|city of Nakhchavan which he had put under his own control
10Tovma4    4:4|who by a deceitful ruse had seized the castle of Agarak
10Tovma4    4:5|of Vasak, known as Apuhamza, had rebelled in similar fashion and
10Tovma4    4:9|deer, likewise the mighty warrior had pity on them: first because
10Tovma4    4:9|enemies, and second because he had taken the daughter of Apuhamza
10Tovma4    4:11|After the land had been pacified, with compassionate and

10Tovma4    4:21|long time past the Muslims had seized the province on the
10Tovma4    4:21|situated. In numberless battles they had attacked our pious former princes
10Tovma4    4:21|the tribe called Ut’manik, who had fortified themselves there
10Tovma4    4:22|The house of the Artsrunik’ had struggled against them with mighty
10Tovma4    4:22|them with mighty efforts, but had been unable to prevail over
10Tovma4    4:22|by vows from the Lord,” had made many efforts; but he
10Tovma4    4:23|no poultices of former (princes) had made an impression. This state
10Tovma4    4:23|impression. This state of affairs had lasted about one hundred years
10Tovma4    4:31|wise and foresighted prince Gagik had also appointed a general to
10Tovma4    4:31|hearted man called T’adēos, who had demonstrated many acts of valour
10Tovma4    4:37|When the Muslims saw what had happened, they note: “Since we
10Tovma4    4:38|the prince. But since he had no success in this, then
10Tovma4    4:38|deceived the man whom (Gagik) had put in charge of the

10Tovma4    4:40|friendship and peace as they had done previously
10Tovma4    4:41|fearsome than the many who had preceded him
10Tovma4    4:43|Since the emir Yusup had heard of the repute and
10Tovma4    4:43|and renowned prince Gagik, he had desired for a long time

10Tovma4    4:53|that Gagik, prince of Vaspurakan, had made an alliance with the
10Tovma4    4:53|deep, (thus) satisfying those who had asked him. This he gave
10Tovma4    4:56|When Smbat saw that he had no means of resisting the
10Tovma4    4:57|only Gagik, whose qualities he had tested and knew, he did
10Tovma4    4:68|the great cities which he had seized by force in the
10Tovma4    4:69|of cities and lands that had been given to him, he

10Tovma4    5:3|army of the South, which had marched to attack Babylon and
10Tovma4    6:2|sons of maidservants and slaves, had advanced and consolidated their position

10Tovma4    8:7|And five years after they had begun to build, the constructions
10Tovma4    8:7|the constructions of the city had been raised in unprecedented magnificence
10Tovma4    8:12|It had vaulted domes and niches and
10Tovma4    8:12|mind and eye. It also had domes like heaven, ornamented with
10Tovma4    8:13|anyone anything of what he had seen

10Tovma4    12:2|thick and dense waves. He had two black arched eyebrows, pupils
10Tovma4    13:2|of the Armenian princes, who had fallen into decline; and with
10Tovma4    13:4|They had the nature of bloodthirsty beasts

10Tovma4    13:21|the Artsrunik’, named Abdlmseh. He had survived like a spark from
10Tovma4    13:22|the Lord’s birth and baptism, had become worthy to receive the
10Tovma4    13:23|Spirit. Over him the Lord had poured his sevenfold grace, the
10Tovma4    13:23|of counsel and intelligence, and had filled him with the fear
10Tovma4    13:25|voiced like a turtledove. He had married the daughter of Grigor

10Tovma4    13:36|and his relatives, the Lord had strengthened his anointed

10Tovma4    13:52|Sahak. For the Holy Spirit had previously indicated by a vision
10Tovma4    13:57|to his parents, since he had learned from God’s commandments: “Honour
10Tovma4    13:57|father and mother,” and he had heard elsewhere that: “A disobedient

12Last1    8:1|up the ghost. The queen had supported this. (Romanus) reigned [1028-1034] for

12Last1    11:5|up, and after horrible evils had commenced, we stood trembling in
12Last1    11:5|shocked, horrified terror. But God had mercy and closed their road
12Last1    11:9|the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And
12Last1    11:16|and he a foreigner who had entered their city, unknown to
12Last1    11:22|That bestial pagan people which had long since been growling in
12Last1    11:23|a countless multitude of fugitives had assembled (with) an inestimable number
12Last1    11:24|with the sword; some who had secured themselves into craggy places
12Last1    11:24|killed with arrows; many who had gone up to a cave
12Last1    11:25|way out, for the enemy had blockaded them on all sides
12Last1    11:27|pitiful and lamentable than it had been before
12Last1    11:28|many types: for some who had fallen (fatally wounded) were still
12Last1    11:28|alive. From thirst their tongues had dried up, and with weak
12Last1    11:28|breathing violently. Others whose throats had been slit but were still
