Tit. 2.12] - he will renew, adorn and vivify 02Agat1    10:9 | But those whom he finds living in lawlessness and 02Agat1    10:9 | that same soul and body he will cast them into hell 02Agat1    10:10 | When the king heard this, he was angry at the speech 02Agat1    10:11 | But because you said ’he will cast you into inextinguishable 02Agat1    10:12 | He ordered lead to be melted 02Agat1    10:13 | flesh was completely burned. Yet he did not die, but withstood 02Agat1    10:13 | And to whatever they asked he immediately replied 02Agat1    10:15 | this servant of God? For he gives strength in order to 02Agat1    10:16 | For thus he says: ’I shall neither abandon 02Agat1    10:17 | their faith in him until he will reward them at his 02Agat1    11:1 | life and honors, to which he would not have agreed - “If 02Agat1    11:1 | would not have agreed - “If he does not agree to this 02Agat1    11:1 | does not agree to this, he said, then will I increase 02Agat1    11:2 | Artavan the High Constable, and he began to speak and give 02Agat1    11:2 | about him as follows: “Because he is unworthy of life, therefore 02Agat1    11:2 | is unworthy of life, therefore he does not wish to live 02Agat1    11:3 | is all this time since he has been living among us 02Agat1    11:3 | did not recognize him. But he is the son of the 02Agat1    11:3 | for him to live, because he is the son of a 02Agat1    11:4 | had inflicted on him, which he accepted with great patience for 02Agat1    11:5 | this further about him that he was in truth the son 02Agat1    11:5 | had killed his father Khosrov, he ordered him to be bound 02Agat1    11:6 | that he should be taken to the 02Agat1    11:6 | that was incredibly deep until he died there 02Agat1    11:7 | And he was in that pit thirteen 02Agat1    11:11 | bones, and a large frame. He was brave and an incredible 02Agat1    11:11 | stature. Throughout his entire life he made war and was triumphant 02Agat1    11:12 | He received a great renown for 02Agat1    11:12 | resounded throughout the entire world. He struck at enemies and sought 02Agat1    11:12 | sought vengeance for his ancestors. He took much booty from the 02Agat1    11:13 | He put to the sword Persian 02Agat1    11:13 | quantity of plunder from them. He became the leader of the 02Agat1    11:13 | the Persians over to them. He removed or, brought forth extremely 02Agat1    11:14 | God during the years that he was there 02Agat1    12:21 | the incredibly deep pit, where he immediately became food for snakes 02Agat1    13:1 | all parts of his realm he dispatched painters able to paint 02Agat1    13:5 | stunning beauty of Rhipsime’s portrait, he was filled with a crazed 02Agat1    13:5 | to lust. As a result, he specified a time for the 02Agat1    13:7 | just as in the garden he had used the snake as 02Agat1    13:7 | first woman [cf. Gen. 3], so here too he had used the lawless emperor 02Agat1    13:7 | as a mask through which he could fight with the church 02Agat1    13:8 | vanity and arrogance so that he stirred up persecutions against the 02Agat1    13:8 | against the churches of God; he maddened him so that he 02Agat1    13:8 | he maddened him so that he worshipped futile corpses [cf. Jer. 16.18], images of 02Agat1    13:9 | He was emboldened to attack the 02Agat1    13:9 | unable to harm the rock he was himself broken against the 02Agat1    13:10 | the arrogance of his folly, he was the cause of very 02Agat1    13:11 | the all-merciful Lord, that he would save them from the 02Agat1    13:19 | hand of your Godhead where he was before 02Agat1    15:2 | He quickly dispatched emissaries everywhere to 02Agat1    15:7 | He who is by nature Son 02Agat1    15:7 | who keeps his words, when he finds him, he joyfully buys 02Agat1    15:7 | words, when he finds him, he joyfully buys and treasures him 02Agat1    15:7 | like a precious pearl [cf. Matt. 13.46]; then he receives the sign of honor 02Agat1    16:21 | king pasture on grass, because he did not consent to glorify 02Agat1    17:2 | Now when he came in, all the populace 02Agat1    17:3 | so carefully be lost [cf. II Tim. 1.12], and he heard her prayers and fortified 02Agat1    17:3 | like Jael and like Deborah [cf. Judges 4]. He strengthened her to be saved 02Agat1    17:5 | hour. The king was defeated - he, whose strength had been regarded 02Agat1    17:5 | the land of the Greeks, he had displayed such strength and 02Agat1    17:5 | within his own kingdom, when he had returned to his native 02Agat1    17:5 | returned to his native patrimony, he also had shown many deeds 02Agat1    17:5 | manly valor there. And now he - so renowned in everything - was 02Agat1    17:6 | Now King Trdat, once he had been defeated, tired, and 02Agat1    17:6 | door of the chamber. Then he himself went back into the 02Agat1    17:6 | went back into the room. He told the servants to force 02Agat1    17:7 | from this profanation, and may he be your support. Heaven forbid 02Agat1    17:17 | rewards of the just which he has also prepared for us 02Agat1    17:19 | was humbled to disgrace [cf. Phil. 2.8], may he not leave us despised [cf. I Cor. 4.10] because 02Agat1    17:20 | For he is the Lord who glorifies 02Agat1    17:20 | glorifies the humbled, and may he keep us his handmaidens from 02Agat1    17:21 | But may he arouse his hosts and come 02Agat1    17:21 | and we shall live [cf. Ps. 79.20]. For he is God our savior, and 02Agat1    17:22 | for our lives and salvation he was wounded to death 02Agat1    17:23 | name in your heart. Behold, he has come to help you 02Agat1    17:24 | Similarly, he who destroyed the ignoble giant 02Agat1    17:25 | as a handmaid of Christ. He who today in his mercy 02Agat1    17:41 | He created the hearts of the 02Agat1    17:41 | the sons of men, and he considers all their deeds 02Agat1    19:1 | his shameful humiliation, of which he should have been ashamed, he 02Agat1    19:1 | he should have been ashamed, he who was so renowned for 02Agat1    19:1 | least in the Greek Olympics he had seemed as strong as 02Agat1    19:1 | there many deeds of prowess. He had waged no few battles 02Agat1    19:1 | of the Tachiks; where once he was leaving the combat on 02Agat1    19:1 | combat on horseback gravely wounded, he picked up the horse and 02Agat1    19:1 | fastening them to his back he swam across the Euphrates river 02Agat1    19:1 | across the Euphrates river. So, he, who was such a powerful 02Agat1    19:2 | But he paid no thought to this 02Agat1    19:2 | the death of the maiden, he bitterly mourned 02Agat1    19:3 | Do you see, he said, that bewitching sect of 02Agat1    19:9 | But the king when he heard, was overwhelmed, frenzied and 02Agat1    19:9 | stupefied for love, nor did he remember the death of saint 02Agat1    19:10 | He promised to bestow great dignities 02Agat1    19:12 | When he heard that saint Rhipsime was 02Agat1    19:12 | that saint Rhipsime was dead, he was cast down into the 02Agat1    19:13 | Then he commanded that the virtuous Gayane 02Agat1    19:15 | with King Trdat boasting that he would give Gayane a wicked 02Agat1    19:15 | give Gayane a wicked death. He had the prisoners removed in 02Agat1    20:1 | for the beautiful Rhipsime. Afterwards he decided to go hunting. He 02Agat1    20:1 | he decided to go hunting. He had all his troops gather 02Agat1    20:1 | his troops gather the hounds, he distributed the beaters, the nets 02Agat1    20:1 | put in place, and then he went to hunt in the 02Agat1    20:3 | and, like one of them, he went and dwelled with them 02Agat1    20:4 | He went into the reeds and 02Agat1    20:9 | from there the prisoner Grigoris. He will come and teach you 02Agat1    20:11 | And you are saying that he still lives. Where would even 02Agat1    20:11 | him down into the pit he would have perished merely from 02Agat1    20:17 | He told them: “I have come 02Agat1    20:18 | all replied: “Who knows if he is still alive, for many 02Agat1    20:30 | Then he came forward and raised them 02Agat1    20:30 | the sea and the land. He is able to heal you 02Agat1    20:37 | the saint’s own torn clothing. He note: “For now let these 02Agat1    21:1 | power from uncircumscribed, boundless nothing. He who created everything is the 02Agat1    21:3 | He warned you in his benevolent 02Agat1    21:3 | divine Wisdom: ’Whom God loves he warns; he castigates the son 02Agat1    21:3 | ’Whom God loves he warns; he castigates the son for whom 02Agat1    21:3 | castigates the son for whom he cares’ 02Agat1    21:4 | Now in his benevolence he summons you to adoption 02Agat1    21:6 | according to his desires will he give you eternal life 02Agat1    21:7 | for those who recognize him, he is their God 02Agat1    21:9 | you will say: ’Where does he guard his worshippers? For those 02Agat1    21:10 | his second and glorious coming he will reveal [cf. Acts 3.20] and give blessings 02Agat1    21:11 | the power of his divinity he kept firm his beloved holy 02Agat1    21:12 | And he saved the holy and blessed 02Agat1    21:14 | and how by his benevolence he made me worthy and prepared 02Agat1    21:14 | his great name’s sake. And he gave me endurance, to bring 02Agat1    21:14 | benevolence of Christ: ’Blessed is he who made us worthy to 02Agat1    21:21 | and recognize the Lord [cf. Heb. 8.11], that he may have mercy on you 02Agat1    21:21 | not dead. Recognize God, for he is Lord of all. Abandon 02Agat1    21:24 | creatures is inscrutable and ineffable; he is long suffering in forgiving 02Agat1    21:25 | From the first days he allowed men to walk according 02Agat1    21:27 | But now he has begun to call you 02Agat1    21:28 | For that reason, he sent his beloved martyrs to 02Agat1    21:32 | Not indeed that he was unable to give life 02Agat1    21:33 | Not indeed that he could not be believed without 02Agat1    21:34 | And he preserved our breath in our 02Agat1    21:39 | the word of life, then he will strike and kill you 02Agat1    21:39 | vengeful and cruel blows, and he will judge you by means 02Agat1    22:2 | long-suffering and very merciful [cf. Ps. 85.15; 102.8; 144.8]. He is kind to all those 02Agat1    22:2 | those who invoke him [cf. Ps. 144.18] and he forgives those who beseech him 02Agat1    22:3 | we did not know, if he will turn and accept our 02Agat1    22:3 | opportunity for conversion; or has he not already cut off our 02Agat1    22:7 | they had spoken before him, he wept and said to them 02Agat1    22:8 | power of the creator. For he who made everything just as 02Agat1    22:8 | who made everything just as he wished, whenever he wishes he 02Agat1    22:8 | just as he wished, whenever he wishes he can change each 02Agat1    22:8 | he wished, whenever he wishes he can change each thing’s character 02Agat1    22:8 | with me, his unworthy servant, he mollified 02Agat1    22:9 | Although we were unworthy, nonetheless he preserved us for your benefit 02Agat1    22:14 | you worthy of his service; he has entrusted you with the 02Agat1    22:17 | For he saved me from death- and 02Agat1    22:19 | the world in humility; how he will come at the end 02Agat1    22:24 | deity. For we know that he is the true God 02Agat1    22:25 | incomprehensible nature or expound how he is. Because he is incomprehensible 02Agat1    22:25 | expound how he is. Because he is incomprehensible, infinite, uncircumscribed, and 02Agat1    22:25 | incomprehensible, infinite, uncircumscribed, and inscrutable; he cannot be approached or understood 02Agat1    22:25 | understood by any created beings; he is invisible to sight, yet 02Agat1    22:25 | providential mercy and benevolent grace. He has never been seen by 02Agat1    22:26 | He alone is glorified by all 02Agat1    22:26 | everything is from him, save he alone in his essence 02Agat1    22:28 | so that he might sit at the head 02Agat1    22:30 | one great prophet called Moses. He was made worthy of divine 02Agat1    22:30 | and description of the world he handed down to everyone true 02Agat3    1:7 | He will make you worthy of 02Agat3    1:9 | the stain of Satan and he be trodden under your feet 02Agat3    2:1 | Having said all this, he dismissed the crowd. But the 02Agat3    2:3 | Like a wise doctor he tried to find the appropriate 02Agat3    2:3 | to him as patients, and he like a skilled physician might 02Agat3    2:4 | He informed and enlightened them about 02Agat3    2:4 | neither superficially nor hastily. But he taught them all most clearly 02Agat3    2:4 | holy speakers of God’s words; he made them all acquainted with 02Agat3    2:5 | He informed them by individual name 02Agat3    2:5 | sayings inspired by God. And he expounded all the words of 02Agat3    2:9 | and hastened to do whatever he might command 02Agat3    3:2 | Especially the king, because he had been changed into the 02Agat3    3:3 | of his way of life he had fallen from the honor 02Agat3    3:3 | honor of his throne, and he roamed about in the likeness 02Agat3    3:5 | out in a loud voice, he called out, grunted and slobbered 02Agat3    3:9 | hear - then after their supplications he replied and said to them 02Agat3    3:11 | him quickly to command as he might wish and whatever he 02Agat3    3:11 | he might wish and whatever he might wish to be done 02Agat3    3:12 | But he related to them a vision 02Agat3    4:2 | Now he revealed to me the vivifying 02Agat3    4:2 | me the vivifying providence that he intends to bestow on you 02Agat3    4:6 | in the form of light. He called my name and note 02Agat3    4:7 | Then he said to me: ’Look up 02Agat3    4:12 | He himself flew swiftly in the 02Agat3    4:12 | a fleet-winged eagle. And he descended and came down near 02Agat3    4:12 | middle of the city. And he struck the wide expanse of 02Agat3    4:31 | And he said to me: ’This vision 02Agat3    4:38 | struck the depths of hell, he is the providence of God 02Agat3    4:38 | earth and makes it shake; he approaches the hills, and they 02Agat3    4:55 | appeared to you, know,’ he said, ’that their death is 02Agat3    4:56 | of his essential height. For he is the head of the 02Agat3    4:78 | When he had said this there was 02Agat3    5:2 | Therefore, he has shown you through us 02Agat3    5:2 | obtain forgiveness. For this reason, he revealed to me the vision 02Agat3    5:5 | Having said this, he ordered them quickly to prepare 02Agat3    6:1 | And he ordered that a repository should 02Agat3    6:3 | He took them and, all alone 02Agat3    6:3 | alone, went inside. Nor did he allow anyone else to enter 02Agat3    6:4 | He went in by himself and 02Agat3    6:4 | himself and, one by one, he took the remains of each 02Agat3    6:4 | clothing, in boxes. And then he sealed the boxes with the 02Agat3    6:8 | Now when saint Gregory emerged, he saw these items heaped up 02Agat3    6:9 | But he did not allow them to 02Agat3    7:1 | of a pig, except that he could speak like a human 02Agat3    7:1 | face was like a snout; he had big tusks like a 02Agat3    7:2 | Yet he was present there among the 02Agat3    7:2 | and head, wearing a hairshirt he had donned - and presenting quite 02Agat3    7:3 | might be healed so that he might be worthy of participating 02Agat3    7:4 | and for the king. Then he turned to the king and 02Agat3    7:5 | feet fell off so that he might have a small share 02Agat3    7:6 | The king asked Gregory what he commanded him to do. And 02Agat3    7:6 | for the holy caskets, that he might dig places for each 02Agat3    8:6 | seven-day journey so that he might ascend lofty Mount Masis 02Agat3    8:7 | the summit of the mountain he took enormous boulders, solid, unhewn 02Agat3    8:7 | back to the chapels, since he had a giant’s strength, like 02Agat3    8:8 | Four of these boulders he set up as a threshold 02Agat3    8:8 | exchange for the thoughtless battle he had fought with the saint 02Agat3    8:11 | Saint Gayane he put in the martyrium to 02Agat3    8:16 | each of the three chapels. He note: “Only in front of 02Agat3    9:4 | of a newly-born infant. He was completely healed in all 02Agat3    10:5 | En route he came upon the temple of 02Agat3    10:7 | Saint Gregory, when he saw this, made the sign 02Agat3    10:8 | this imprisoned and dead man - he has forced us to flee 02Agat3    10:16 | and estates of the Armenians he indicated sites for the house 02Agat3    10:17 | However, he did not lay any foundations 02Agat3    10:17 | the name of God, since he lacked the rank of priesthood 02Agat3    10:17 | lacked the rank of priesthood. He merely enclosed certain areas with 02Agat3    10:18 | in streets, squares, and intersections, he erected the same sign as 02Agat3    10:19 | After this, he took the noble sons of 02Agat3    10:21 | Thus did he fill all places with the 02Agat3    11:2 | He arrived at the district of 02Agat3    11:5 | been confirmed in the faith, he went to the fortified place 02Agat3    12:3 | with the advantages of preaching, he was not solely relying on 02Agat3    12:5 | the mercy of his healing. He disclosed these things, speaking in 02Agat3    12:6 | Derjan so that there, too, he might spread the message of 02Agat3    12:6 | demonic, satanic, and monstrous nature. He taught those barbarous regions to 02Agat3    12:7 | He came to the temple of 02Agat3    12:8 | were gifted to the Church. He confirmed the inhabitants of the 02Agat3    12:9 | Then he took care to instruct in 02Agat3    13:6 | He note: “Come, let us hasten 02Agat3    13:6 | us by God, so that he illuminate us with baptism and 02Agat3    13:8 | to the king. In it he saw the angel of God 02Agat3    13:9 | in a vision, so that he would not dare to persist 02Agat3    13:9 | his stubbornness about the matter. He note: “It is Christ Who 02Agat3    14:8 | and illuminate us his creatures, he shot the rays of his 02Agat3    14:11 | But then he had mercy on us at 02Agat3    14:12 | Now because he was even more a martyr 02Agat3    14:12 | an even greater champion, therefore he has been given us by 02Agat3    14:13 | of worshiping ancestral idols, and he has taught us all his 02Agat3    14:13 | us to follow his will. He has even given us a 02Agat3    15:9 | blessed name of martyr which he had received 02Agat3    15:11 | hands on him, so that he might receive authority in heaven 02Agat3    15:14 | multitude of clerical brothers whom he convinced to accompany him, so 02Agat3    15:14 | to accompany him, so that he might appoint them to the 02Agat3    15:14 | the priesthood of his land. He took brigades of them along 02Agat3    15:15 | the blessed bishop, Gregory, for he is that man who, for 02Agat3    15:16 | Thus, passing many way stations, he arrived at the land of 02Agat3    16:3 | Gregory went there so that he might also demolish this site 02Agat3    16:4 | was returning from Greek territory, he brought with him some relics 02Agat3    17:3 | places of the structures. There he note: “Lord, let your angel 02Agat3    17:10 | was there in Taron that he laid the foundations of a 02Agat3    17:10 | For it was there that he first made a start to 02Agat3    17:11 | He raised an altar in the 02Agat3    17:11 | the city of Caesarea, then he baptized the people of the 02Agat3    17:12 | For twenty days he stayed there and baptized more 02Agat3    17:12 | hundred and ninety thousand people. He raised an altar in the 02Agat3    17:12 | relics of the saints which he had built, and offered the 02Agat3    17:14 | He designated priests in different places 02Agat3    17:15 | of the saints, so that he might establish their remembrances in 02Agat3    17:16 | He circulated throughout every place and 02Agat3    17:16 | districts. In hamlets and estates, he built churches, baptized, and designated 02Agat3    18:2 | He took his troops, his queen 02Agat3    18:2 | Ayrarat, to come before Gregory. He reached the town of Bagavan 02Agat3    18:4 | Then he arrived at the place called 02Agat3    18:5 | one could name in full, he preached the Gospel 02Agat3    18:12 | own will advises everyone that he will give consolation from the 02Agat3    18:12 | load is light.’ [Matt. 11.28-30]. These he takes under his protection and 02Agat3    18:12 | and instructs, in order that he may make everyone worthy of 02Agat3    18:13 | realize what was worthy, therefore he brought this unworthy scourge upon 02Agat3    18:14 | was human by human means, he made you aware by non 02Agat3    18:17 | He to whom you closed your 02Agat3    18:17 | opened and illuminated your vision; he has stripped off from you 02Agat3    18:18 | He whom you presumed in your 02Agat3    19:2 | Then he according to his usual habit 02Agat3    19:3 | And he commanded the royal camp to 02Agat3    19:4 | With his companions that he had brought thence he imposed 02Agat3    19:4 | that he had brought thence he imposed on himself his customary 02Agat3    19:5 | In this way he exerted much effort to find 02Agat3    19:6 | in the Lord’s house, that he gave a home to the 02Agat3    19:6 | a home to the relics he had of the saints’ bones 02Agat3    19:7 | all parts of the districts he laid foundations for churches, erected 02Agat3    20:1 | in the day, at dawn, he took them to the banks 02Agat3    20:9 | There he offered the blessed sacrifice and 02Agat3    20:9 | fashioner of all creatures; and he liberally administered to all the 02Agat3    21:2 | And during those seven days he baptized more than four million 02Agat3    21:3 | of the martyrs whose relics he had brought, declaring as a 02Agat3    21:5 | people would accept them. Meanwhile, he also filled everyone with spiritual 02Agat3    21:6 | After this, he went to all districts in 02Agat3    21:8 | creator of heaven and earth. He increased the servitors of the 02Agat3    21:9 | Similarly, he elevated bishops to primacy over 02Agat3    22:1 | with their beast-like mentalities. He took and cast them into 02Agat3    22:2 | He so separated them from their 02Agat3    22:3 | put over them. In particular he ordered that the families of 02Agat3    22:6 | divine commands had begun, where he had first seen the vision 02Agat3    22:6 | had been buried, and where he had erected in their martyria 02Agat3    22:6 | an earlier vision, and where he had built a church to 02Agat3    22:7 | He did the same in the 02Agat3    22:7 | same in the places where he had destroyed the temples earlier 02Agat3    22:7 | the lands and districts generally, he also labored this way and 02Agat3    22:8 | of preaching and the gospel. He did this from the city 02Agat3    22:9 | pagans, without resistance from opponents. He bore the name of Jesus 02Agat3    22:10 | awesome power of Christ’s glory. He also tore up many unjust 02Agat3    22:11 | Through his comforting teaching he gave the expectation of the 02Agat3    22:11 | in mourning or ignorance. And he turned everyone to the state 02Agat3    23:2 | He took some of the children 02Agat3    23:7 | He himself, from time to time 02Agat3    23:8 | He took various students from their 02Agat3    23:15 | With these same spiritual practices he passed many days in desert 02Agat3    23:15 | John.

He continually gave support in all 02Agat3    24:2 | With unceasing mouth, he spread the abundant and fertile 02Agat3    24:2 | hearts of his listeners. This he did all his days, for 02Agat3    24:4 | He often took his pupils aside 02Agat3    24:4 | as when on Mount Tabor he gave his blessed message [cf. Matt. 5.1-11; Lk. 6.20-49], or 02Agat3    24:4 | when on the same mountain he made the canonical prayer while 02Agat3    24:5 | bread on the legal festival he made the evening prayer three 02Agat3    24:6 | to all the obedient. Therefore, he note: “Be awake and pray 02Agat3    24:7 | says all are ignorant [cf. I Cor. 14.36-8]? Therefore, he knows that the all-vivifying 02Agat3    24:8 | do” must be understood that he so acted in order to 02Agat3    24:8 | to teach and not that he might be rewarded. And his 02Agat3    24:14 | Proceeding thus he filled, comforted and fortified everyone 02Agat3    24:14 | treasure. And on many occasions, he was prompt in performing such 02Agat3    25:1 | the world, so too did he come and appear and speak 02Agat3    25:2 | Then he went through every province and 02Agat3    25:2 | in desert places and there he dwelt, illuminating everyone from the 02Agat3    25:3 | He increased the number of overseeing 02Agat3    25:7 | travel around with him, but he did not agree; he rather 02Agat3    25:7 | but he did not agree; he rather preferred to live in 02Agat3    25:7 | up and trampling him down.

However, subsequently he, too, was raised to the 02Agat3    25:10 | and sleeping on the ground. He often passed even the pleasant 02Agat3    25:10 | his feet in wakeful vigils. He did this for no short 02Agat3    25:11 | Finding other like-minded people, he associated with them and instructed 02Agat3    25:12 | And thus he willingly and bravely endured all 02Agat3    25:12 | to him. In this way he was illuminated and became radiant 02Agat3    25:13 | at once - without any delay - he sent three glorious and honorable 02Agat3    26:1 | retreat of his own. However, he did not agree to come 02Agat3    26:5 | beseeched saint Gregory that - because he had not agreed to stay 02Agat3    26:5 | around with him, and since he loved the solitary life - he 02Agat3    26:5 | he loved the solitary life - he would, in exchange, ordain and 02Agat3    26:8 | for the great Gregory himself, he went around to the places 02Agat3    26:8 | went around to the places he had put in order and 02Agat3    26:8 | order and the districts where he had taught in the land 02Agat3    26:11 | For he was well acquainted with Greek 02Agat3    26:12 | So he received the grace of the 02Agat3    26:12 | of the heavenly gifts whereby he was then illuminated, and he 02Agat3    26:12 | he was then illuminated, and he was completely devoted to the 02Agat3    26:13 | Thenceforth he stripped off pagan vices and 02Agat3    26:14 | He imposed upon himself fasts and 02Agat3    26:15 | Similarly, he asked on his own behalf 02Agat3    26:15 | in his earlier ignorance when he was a pagan, might not 02Agat3    26:16 | With great solicitude he assisted the work of the 02Agat3    26:16 | and in every good work he rendered glorious the task of 02Agat3    27:1 | of the Spaniards and Gauls.

He built chapels for the martyrs 02Agat3    27:5 | He destroyed the impure temples of 02Agat3    27:6 | Honors and gifts he bestowed on those who kept 02Agat3    27:7 | given him over everyone, because he took for himself the sign 02Agat3    27:8 | which comes from the Lord - he spread throughout the world by 02Agat3    27:8 | faith in the Lord. Thus, he pursued the hosts of darkness 02Agat3    27:9 | become worshipers of the truth he honored and treated as his 02Agat3    27:10 | In this fashion he became powerful and strengthened his 02Agat3    27:10 | kingdom a divinely-established kingdom. He became so powerful over all 02Agat3    27:10 | over all men that truly he was glorified 02Agat3    27:11 | Thus, he so consolidated his victorious position 02Agat3    27:11 | him every day: every morning he took the crown marked with 02Agat3    27:12 | And he, the pious and all-victorious 02Agat3    28:2 | about Constantine’s conversion to Christianity, he offered great glory to the 02Agat3    28:2 | With rejoicing and great joy, he thanked Him who made His 02Agat3    28:3 | Armenians, heard all of this, he took counsel about the journey 02Agat3    28:3 | the journey to visit Constantinople. He made preparations to take with 02Agat3    28:11 | Then he stood before the emperor and 02Agat3    28:12 | nor was he ashamed to narrate the fearful 02Agat3    28:13 | And he told about the heroic endurance 02Agat3    28:14 | Then he introduced to the emperor Gregory 02Agat3    28:14 | to the emperor Gregory, whom he had brought with him, saying 02Agat3    28:15 | And with many splendid honors he exalted him as a confessor 02Agat3    28:16 | Similarly, with great happiness he showed love for king Trdat 02Agat3    28:16 | recognition of God. And furthermore, he made an alliance with him 02Agat3    28:16 | between their kingdoms, and that he might confirm the Armenian king 02Agat3    28:18 | about their honorable life. For he had previously known, while they 02Agat3    28:19 | And he told of the powerful and 02Agat3    28:19 | him by God so that he became victorious over all the 02Agat3    28:20 | He note: “Know, brother, that God 02Agat3    28:20 | his praisers in truth, ’because he seeks such worshippers 02Agat3    29:4 | in the country of Armenia. He put before the king and 02Agat3    29:4 | the blessed katoghikos the traditions he had brought 02Agat3    29:5 | united support of King Trdat, he illuminated Armenia all the days 02Agat3    29:7 | In these he set out many similes and 02Agat3    29:8 | By the grace of God he fulfilled his preaching journeys and 02Agat3    29:8 | church without any failure. And he made all the greater effort 02Agat3    29:9 | ardent requests and strong words he commended the divine commandments to 02Agat3    29:10 | He gave no sleep to his 02Agat3    29:10 | rest to his limbs” [Ps. 131.4] until he attained the rest of the 02Agat3    29:13 | So, in this fashion he spent all the days of 02Agat3    29:13 | the Apostles, following the commands he had received year by year 02Agat3    29:13 | And immersed in Christ’s love he shone forth 02Agat3    30:3 | establish it in writing, that he who reads may read freely 02Agat3    30:10 | Whatever he commanded our fathers to indicate 02Agat3    30:11 | are our Lord God” [Jer. 3.22]. And he will say to them: “You 02Agat3    31:8 | In his invisible powers he proceeds with penetrating light. He 02Agat3    31:8 | he proceeds with penetrating light. He is near to all and 02Agat3    31:8 | all and far from all. He is invisible to those who 02Agat3    31:9 | the mode of praise differs, he is not hidden from the 02Agat3    31:12 | Word was sent by God; he took flesh from the virgin 02Agat3    31:12 | and became a perfect man. He truly became complete in the 02Agat3    31:13 | He was humbled and joined his 02Agat3    31:14 | For as he wished, what he wished also 02Agat3    31:14 | For as he wished, what he wished also occurred; and as 02Agat3    31:14 | wished also occurred; and as he wished, so he did. For 02Agat3    31:14 | and as he wished, so he did. For there is nothing 02Agat3    31:14 | impossible with him. In everything he is powerful, and whatever he 02Agat3    31:14 | he is powerful, and whatever he wishes he does not pass 02Agat3    31:14 | powerful, and whatever he wishes he does not pass over. He 02Agat3    31:14 | he does not pass over. He put on our earthly nature 02Agat3    31:15 | For our sake he drank the cup of death 02Agat3    31:15 | the cup of immortality. And he gave life to the mortality 02Agat3    31:15 | creatures by his death, when he rose in the flesh and 02Agat3    31:16 | He will come again in glory 02Agat3    31:20 | He proceeds and is not divided 02Agat3    31:20 | proceeds and is not divided; he flows forth and is not 03Buz3    3:20 | strength and showed us that He alone is God. And now 03Buz3    3:20 | we acknowledge and believe that He alone is God 03Buz3    3:23 | Then he offered prayers and asked God 03Buz3    3:25 | of the united holy Trinity, he then baptized some [2,000] men, to 03Buz3    3:25 | women and children. Thus, did he join them to the faith 03Buz3    4:9 | single male child alive. Then he returned to king Xosrov, the 03Buz3    4:11 | with all of its borders. He himself was from the Basen 03Buz3    5:1 | episcopate, despite the fact that he was the younger son 03Buz3    5:2 | childless. For a long time, he beseeched God not to deprive 03Buz3    5:2 | fruit of his own who he would place in the Lord’s 03Buz3    5:5 | He did not marry, but already 03Buz3    5:6 | Going there, he rennovated the churches with luminous 03Buz3    5:9 | the Lord God’s service and he regretted his marriage 03Buz3    5:10 | He wept and beseeched God and 03Buz3    5:11 | will, since in the future he had to provide principal shepherds 03Buz3    5:12 | But after that one evening, he did not couple with his 03Buz3    5:12 | his wife bore twins as he had forseen in the vision 03Buz3    5:13 | his wife that one night, he did not approach her again 03Buz3    5:13 | again. It was not that he regarded marriage as an evil 03Buz3    5:13 | an evil thing, but rather, he had doubts because of the 03Buz3    5:13 | doubts because of the vision he had seen, wondering why such 03Buz3    5:14 | For he had not wanted ordinary earthly 03Buz3    5:15 | the transitory, but the sublime. He wanted to look upon divine 03Buz3    5:16 | He regarded serving Christ as the 03Buz3    5:16 | the king’s son-in-law. He turned his back and rejected 03Buz3    5:17 | Following that first incident he was no longer tricked as 03Buz3    5:17 | wisdom of an old man, he wisely tended toward the immortal 03Buz3    5:18 | He regarded insults borne for Christ 03Buz3    5:18 | to the greatness of kings.

He preached the truth of faith 03Buz3    6:2 | With the grace of God he perfectly conducted the Apostolic course 03Buz3    6:2 | faith. Like a heroic warrior he trained and kept himself ready 03Buz3    6:2 | trials and sorrows, so that he be able to emerge from 03Buz3    6:3 | the churches in those parts, he reached the camp of the 03Buz3    6:5 | Honk’ troops. In their presence he began preaching Christ’s Gospel to 03Buz3    6:10 | He has come with such words 03Buz3    7:1 | relative, Xosrov, king of Armenia.

He ordered the enemy to ambush 03Buz3    8:24 | stop warring with king Xosrov. He made a law that the 03Buz3    8:25 | For he feared their irresolution thinking that 03Buz3    8:26 | But he had confidence in the aged 03Buz3    9:0 | the king of Armenia, how he was killed by the Armenian 03Buz3    9:2 | He extended his hand in alliance 03Buz3    9:2 | betrayed the royal tun which he himself had supported 03Buz3    9:3 | from the authority of Armenia.

He led his people with complete 03Buz6    11:1 | honesty and throughout his life he conducted the episcopacy in accordance 03Buz6    12:1 | drank of the Holy Spirit. He worked and led his people 03Buz6    14:1 | of the land of Armenia.

He set up many correct arrangements 03Buz6    16:9 | He chose the wilderness for his 03Buz6    16:12 | the district of Taron, where he built his retreats 04Yegh1    1:4 | He began to wax haughty in 04Yegh1    1:4 | his impiety; by his roaring he blew winds to the four 04Yegh1    1:4 | four corners of the earth; he made those who believed in 04Yegh1    1:4 | his enemies and opponents; and he tormented and oppressed them by 04Yegh1    1:5 | were dear to him, therefore he was agitated within himself: “On 04Yegh1    1:6 | like a ferocious wild beast he attacked the land of the 04Yegh1    1:6 | the land of the Greeks. He struck as far as the 04Yegh1    1:6 | Roman provinces; all the churches he put to the torch, he 04Yegh1    1:6 | he put to the torch, he amassed plunder and captives, and 04Yegh1    1:7 | the blessed emperor Theodosius, since he was peace-loving in Christ 04Yegh1    1:7 | him on the field, but he sent to him a man 04Yegh1    1:8 | were in the imperial city he arrested and handed over to 04Yegh1    1:9 | Whatever he, Yazkert said at that time 04Yegh1    1:9 | Yazkert said at that time, he, Theodosius carried out according to 04Yegh1    1:9 | to the former’s desires; thus, he restrained him from much anger 04Yegh1    1:9 | him from much anger, and he returned to his own city 04Yegh1    1:10 | that his wickedness had succeeded, he began to increase his plotting 04Yegh1    1:11 | From being a little suspicious he became thoroughly fearless; therefore, he 04Yegh1    1:11 | he became thoroughly fearless; therefore, he caused many to fall away 04Yegh1    1:11 | imprisonment and tortures, and some he put to a terrible death 04Yegh1    1:12 | He confiscated goods and possessions and 04Yegh1    1:13 | And when he saw that they had been 04Yegh1    1:13 | been scattered to many regions he summoned to a council his 04Yegh1    1:25 | were of the same mind. He wrote edicts and sent many 04Yegh1    2:39 | had been accomplished. And behold he acted with them just as 04Yegh1    2:40 | come to the royal service, he was even more happy in 04Yegh1    2:41 | Outwardly he hid the desires of his 04Yegh1    2:42 | He marched immediately against the kingdom 04Yegh1    2:42 | after fighting for two years he was unable to make any 04Yegh1    2:43 | Then he dispatched the warriors to each 04Yegh1    2:44 | And thus, he established the habit from year 04Yegh1    2:45 | And when he saw that the Romans remained 04Yegh1    2:45 | lived in peace, and that he had put the king of 04Yegh1    2:45 | into even greater straits since he had ruined most of his 04Yegh1    2:45 | prevailed over his rule, then he sent messengers throughout all the 04Yegh1    2:45 | fire-temples of his land, he increased the sacrifices of fire 04Yegh1    2:45 | bulls and hairy goats, and he assiduously multiplied his impure cult 04Yegh1    2:45 | assiduously multiplied his impure cult. He honored many of the magi 04Yegh1    2:46 | He gave a further command that 04Yegh1    2:47 | Thus, he waxed haughty and overweening; in 04Yegh1    2:47 | and overweening; in his arrogance he exceeded the nature of man 04Yegh1    2:47 | matter of physical warfare, but he began to think of himself 04Yegh1    2:47 | of his ancestral rank. Therefore, he deceit fully hid his intention 04Yegh1    2:47 | it appeared to the wise, he placed himself in the rank 04Yegh1    2:48 | He grew furious at the name 04Yegh1    2:48 | the name of Christ, when he heard that he had been 04Yegh1    2:48 | Christ, when he heard that he had been tortured and crucified 04Yegh1    2:49 | As in this fashion he madly raved from day to 04Yegh1    3:51 | of his Second Coming when he will effect the miraculous resurrection 04Yegh1    3:52 | When the king heard this he was deeply smitten, but outwardly 04Yegh1    3:52 | was deeply smitten, but outwardly he laughed and note: “All that 04Yegh1    3:54 | When the king heard this, he blazed up like the fire 04Yegh1    3:55 | Then he poured out all the fury 04Yegh1    3:56 | Bound hand and foot he was given over to torture 04Yegh1    3:56 | deprived of his princely rank, he received sentence of death 04Yegh2    1:1 | and trembles at every contingency; he is a dreamer in his 04Yegh2    1:3 | know death, fears death; but he who knows death does not 04Yegh2    1:9 | is equal to his throne, he is unable to shine in 04Yegh2    1:12 | for all those for whom he was the cause of destruction 04Yegh2    1:15 | agitates the great sea, so he shook and convulsed the whole 04Yegh2    1:16 | He made a review of all 04Yegh2    1:17 | He also deceitfully introduced Christianity and 04Yegh2    1:18 | And he hastened quickly to fulfill what 04Yegh2    1:23 | flames of the fire which he had prepared had become known 04Yegh2    1:23 | had blown on it, then he began to wound his own 04Yegh2    1:23 | mind with hidden arrows and he saw incurable wounds inflicted on 04Yegh2    1:24 | Now he flashed and writhed like a 04Yegh2    1:24 | like a poisonous snake, now he stretched himself and roared like 04Yegh2    1:24 | roared like a furious lion. He rolled, twisted, and sprawled in 04Yegh2    1:25 | Since he was unable to seize and 04Yegh2    1:25 | in one spot near him— he therefore began to give precedence 04Yegh2    1:25 | the details? All the unworthy he promoted and all the worthy 04Yegh2    1:25 | promoted and all the worthy he demoted, until he had split 04Yegh2    1:25 | the worthy he demoted, until he had split father and son 04Yegh2    2:26 | Although he worked this confusion among all 04Yegh2    2:26 | this confusion among all nations, he especially strove against the land 04Yegh2    2:26 | the land of Armenia. For he saw that they were very 04Yegh2    2:27 | He deceived some of them with 04Yegh2    2:28 | And still further vain hopes he offered to their souls. In 04Yegh2    2:28 | their souls. In this way he was continuously enticing and exhorting 04Yegh2    2:28 | enticing and exhorting: “If only, he said, you accept the religion 04Yegh2    2:29 | In such fashion he deceitfully humbled himself before all 04Yegh2    2:29 | love, but hypocritically so that he might be able to seduce 04Yegh2    2:30 | Thus, he acted, beginning from the fourth 04Yegh2    2:31 | However, when he saw that his secret cunning 04Yegh2    2:31 | opponents waxed the greater—for he saw Christianity daily increasing and 04Yegh2    2:31 | the distant road through which he was passing—he began to 04Yegh2    2:31 | through which he was passing— he began to languish, to waste 04Yegh2    2:32 | He unwittingly revealed his secret plans 04Yegh2    2:32 | unwittingly revealed his secret plans.

He took the rule from Arhmn 04Yegh2    4:96 | But in truth he was son to a certain 04Yegh2    5:105 | was crucified by men, that he died and was buried, then 04Yegh2    6:130 | life for him, so that he may rule in peace his 04Yegh2    6:131 | of heaven and earth, and he explained and expounded your religion 04Yegh2    6:132 | were unable to refute him, he was stoned and put to 04Yegh2    6:137 | his existence from anyone, but he is eternal in himself; he 04Yegh2    6:137 | he is eternal in himself; he is not in any place 04Yegh2    6:137 | but is his own place; he is not in any time 04Yegh2    6:137 | time derives from him; and he is prior not only to 04Yegh2    6:138 | He is not shaped into a 04Yegh2    6:138 | a material appearance nor is he subject to the vision of 04Yegh2    6:138 | the vision of the eye; he is not merely impalpable to 04Yegh2    6:138 | merely impalpable to the hand, he is not even graspable by 04Yegh2    6:138 | the incorporeal angels. But if he himself wishes he is comprehensible 04Yegh2    6:138 | But if he himself wishes he is comprehensible to minds worthy 04Yegh2    6:138 | minds worthy of him, though he is not visible to the 04Yegh2    6:139 | heaven and earth. But as he is self-existent, prior to 04Yegh2    6:139 | heaven and earth, so is he self-named 04Yegh2    6:140 | He himself is timeless, but when 04Yegh2    6:140 | himself is timeless, but when he wished he made a beginning 04Yegh2    6:140 | timeless, but when he wished he made a beginning of existence 04Yegh2    6:140 | something but from nothing. For he alone is “something” and everything 04Yegh2    6:141 | Not that after he had taken thought then he 04Yegh2    6:141 | he had taken thought then he created creatures, but before he 04Yegh2    6:141 | he created creatures, but before he created, in his foreknowledge he 04Yegh2    6:141 | he created, in his foreknowledge he saw the creatures 04Yegh2    6:142 | God, likewise then also, before he had created, he was aware 04Yegh2    6:142 | also, before he had created, he was aware of the uncreated 04Yegh2    6:143 | And because he is a creative power, his 04Yegh2    6:148 | evil; it has occurred that he again returned to the good 04Yegh2    7:151 | jealous at that time if he had not commanded not to 04Yegh2    7:151 | from the tree. But if he had previously cautioned, he therein 04Yegh2    7:151 | if he had previously cautioned, he therein revealed the mercy of 04Yegh2    7:158 | He who is himself incorruptible begat 04Yegh2    7:159 | Because he was from earth and had 04Yegh2    7:159 | acted for and by himself, he returned to the same nature 04Yegh2    7:159 | of some evil being that he received punishment, but from his 04Yegh2    7:159 | chastised by the death which he suffered in his own person 04Yegh2    7:167 | these opposites is one, and he brings them into harmony by 04Yegh2    7:167 | harmony by persuasion. Just as he crushes and softens the heat 04Yegh2    7:167 | warmth of fire—so too he grinds up the fine earth 04Yegh2    7:167 | of water to flow downwards he solidifies and hardens by the 04Yegh2    7:168 | worship to his creatures. Therefore, he who created this world took 04Yegh2    7:168 | alone is incorruptible and that he is one, not two—the 04Yegh2    7:175 | world, how much more does he care for the rational world 04Yegh2    8:177 | Sinai, and face to face he set down the law and 04Yegh2    8:177 | and gave it to him. He made known to him this 04Yegh2    8:177 | these elements from nothing. And he revealed to him that this 04Yegh2    8:179 | creatures carry out the commands he orders without reasoning, and never 04Yegh2    8:180 | He gave all creation into subjection 04Yegh2    8:182 | voice of God: “A servant, he says, who does not know 04Yegh2    8:182 | is beaten, but less”; whereas he who is informed of the 04Yegh2    8:185 | words and a false promise, he proffered an unrealizable hope to 04Yegh2    8:185 | fruit of the tree—which he had been commanded not to 04Yegh2    8:185 | been commanded not to approach— he might become god 04Yegh2    8:186 | So, he forgot God’s command, was tricked 04Yegh2    8:186 | the glory of immortality that he possessed; nor did he gain 04Yegh2    8:186 | that he possessed; nor did he gain the dream of his 04Yegh2    8:187 | from the place of life, he was cast into this corruptible 04Yegh2    8:192 | the whole of this world, he who wishes life for everyone 04Yegh2    8:193 | So, where transgression increased, he inflicted all with death; but 04Yegh2    8:193 | where there was attentive obedience, he bestowed gifts of immortality 04Yegh2    8:194 | He is the true God, Creator 04Yegh2    8:199 | Just as he made this massive body, the 04Yegh2    8:199 | likewise without any bodily mediator he took flesh from the unsullied 04Yegh2    8:200 | He was truly God and became 04Yegh2    8:200 | truly man. In becoming man he did not lose his divinity 04Yegh2    8:200 | nor in remaining God did he spoil his humanity, but he 04Yegh2    8:200 | he spoil his humanity, but he remained the same and one 04Yegh2    9:201 | invisible or approach the unapproachable, he came and submitted to our 04Yegh2    9:202 | He did not think it any 04Yegh2    9:202 | body created by himself, but he honored as divinely fashioned his 04Yegh2    9:203 | Not gradually did he bestow on it the honor 04Yegh2    9:203 | angels, but all at once he put on the entire human 04Yegh2    9:204 | And, as the Godhead knows, he was formed from the immaculate 04Yegh2    9:205 | He performed great signs and miracles 04Yegh2    9:206 | He was crucified, died, was buried 04Yegh2    9:207 | He moved among them for forty 04Yegh2    9:208 | He promised to come a second 04Yegh2    9:215 | right to do so, because he was immortal and so loved 04Yegh2    9:215 | and so loved us that he accepted death in order that 04Yegh2    9:216 | And if he did not spare his own 04Yegh2    9:216 | for his love so that he may willingly endow us with 04Yegh2    9:216 | die as mortals so that he may accept our death as 04Yegh2    9:223 | He began to gnash his teeth 04Yegh2    9:223 | one fatally wounded. In public he raised his voice in the 04Yegh2    10:227 | by name the men whom he knew personally. Their names were 04Yegh2    10:238 | and some of the princes he had left in Armenia 04Yegh2    10:246 | about the welfare of Armenia; he would do the same twice 04Yegh2    10:246 | they went out to war, he would greatly thank them for 04Yegh2    10:246 | companions and all the magnates he would praise them all and 04Yegh2    10:247 | But on that day, he remembered nothing at all of 04Yegh2    10:247 | but like an evil demon he did not cease provoking and 04Yegh2    10:248 | He resembled the tumult of the 04Yegh2    10:248 | but from the bottommost depths he rose in a mass of 04Yegh2    10:249 | He raised his voice in a 04Yegh2    11:268 | became more bitter than gall. He spewed forth the sea of 04Yegh2    11:269 | Unable to tame his heart he destroyed the strength of his 04Yegh2    11:270 | And what he had never intended to reveal 04Yegh2    11:270 | reveal to his friends, unwillingly he revealed before the servants of 04Yegh2    11:271 | Three and four times he repeated his false oath to 04Yegh2    11:272 | anyone is found to resist, he will be trampled by wild 04Yegh2    11:274 | straightaway he ordered the honorable princes to 04Yegh2    11:274 | his presence in great dishonor. He strictly commanded the chief-executioner 04Yegh2    12:278 | indissoluble love for Christ, for he had been baptized in the 04Yegh2    12:278 | in the living font, and he was greatly concerned with saving 04Yegh2    12:279 | When he became fully aware that the 04Yegh2    12:279 | on Armenia all the evils he had threatened, he advised a 04Yegh2    12:279 | the evils he had threatened, he advised a few of them 04Yegh2    12:282 | sent off the cavalry, and he himself in haste followed closely 04Yegh2    12:282 | Deeply wounded in his intentions, he shattered his earlier firm oath 04Yegh2    12:287 | When the king heard this he very greatly rejoiced, thinking the 04Yegh2    12:289 | the revelation of the truth he in no way comprehended the 04Yegh2    12:289 | the deceitful ruses by which he was tricked 04Yegh2    12:290 | He showered them with earthly gifts 04Yegh2    12:291 | With unbounded liberality he bestowed on each one of 04Yegh2    12:291 | towns from the royal treasury. He called them dear friends, and 04Yegh2    12:291 | presumption of his perverse mind he thought that the truth could 04Yegh2    12:292 | Having done this, he gathered a large force of 04Yegh2    12:292 | more than seven hundred teachers he sent with them, and over 04Yegh2    12:292 | with them, and over them he appointed a certain great prince 04Yegh2    12:293 | Humbly and beggingly he ordered them: “By the time 04Yegh2    12:294 | thus, with éclat and honor he sent them off on the 04Yegh2    12:295 | He himself sent joyful tidings to 04Yegh2    12:296 | fulfill the command at once. He, the king, sent word to 04Yegh2    13:301 | He fixed a time, six months 04Yegh2    13:302 | From Navasard to Navasard,” he said, “in every place that 04Yegh3    2:32 | and with his collar rent, he reached the group of bishops 04Yegh3    2:32 | bishops; bursting into profuse tears, he related all the details of 04Yegh3    2:32 | details of the tortures, but he did not reveal to them 04Yegh3    2:41 | the church on a Sunday. He intended to put the proposed 04Yegh3    2:43 | Although he was not informed of the 04Yegh3    2:43 | of the chief magus’s force, he did not wait for all 04Yegh3    2:43 | all the bishops, nor did he give way for a moment 04Yegh3    2:43 | to the impious ruler, but he brought a great tumult on 04Yegh3    2:49 | He frequently begged his assistants to 04Yegh3    2:50 | In the matter for which he had come he pressed them 04Yegh3    2:50 | for which he had come he pressed them, saying: “Let me 04Yegh3    2:50 | to the great king that he should abandon such a project 04Yegh3    3:53 | exterminated from the land. So, he gave a strict order that 04Yegh3    3:54 | Yet the more he wished to restrain and prevent 04Yegh3    3:59 | becoming embittered and soured, yet he was unable to diminish their 04Yegh3    3:60 | Furthermore, although he locked and sealed the doors 04Yegh3    3:63 | sheep to the heavenly salt, he stopped and cut short their 04Yegh3    3:63 | and cut short their torments. He commanded the magi and chief 04Yegh3    3:70 | man hears and another what he sees for sure with his 04Yegh3    3:72 | of all the nobles and he had entrusted this whole country 04Yegh3    4:81 | from the land of Siunik he increased his own forces for 04Yegh3    4:82 | Then he note 04Yegh3    4:85 | desire to heed him, for he had sincerely accepted the Persian 04Yegh3    4:86 | Then he began to deceive some with 04Yegh3    4:86 | common people in fearful words, he disheartened them 04Yegh3    4:87 | He continually increased the allowances of 04Yegh3    4:87 | allowances of the banqueting-hall, he extended the music of jollity 04Yegh3    4:87 | drunken singing and lascivious dancing. He amused some with music and 04Yegh3    4:88 | He had brought from the treasury 04Yegh3    4:88 | a mass of wealth and he secretly distributed bribes to each 04Yegh3    4:88 | and honor; and very deceitfully he enticed innocent men and drew 04Yegh3    4:91 | of his mind, and that he had not in the least 04Yegh3    4:95 | of the chief-magus that he was unable to understand the 04Yegh3    4:96 | He began to distribute the magi 04Yegh3    5:104 | great act of witness. straightaway he was stoned by them on 04Yegh3    5:109 | When they arrested the marzpan he was for joining them with 04Yegh3    5:109 | remain firm in the covenant; he repented of his earlier falling 04Yegh3    5:110 | He fell in penitence at the 04Yegh3    5:110 | bishops and tearfully begged that he should not be rejected and 04Yegh3    5:111 | Two and three times he repeated an inviolable oath on 04Yegh3    5:111 | Holy Gospel before them all; he put it in writing, sealed 04Yegh3    5:111 | bound it to the Gospel. He begged that it be left 04Yegh3    5:112 | his deceitful hypocrisy and that he would falsely return to his 04Yegh3    6:139 | if anybody resists and opposes, he will be punished with death 04Yegh3    6:142 | even entering his service should he so wish 04Yegh3    6:146 | affection: when in his youth he fled from his murderous uncles 04Yegh3    6:146 | who had assassinated his father, he lived and was brought up 04Yegh3    6:146 | Greeks; made king by you, he ruled over his ancestral land 04Yegh3    6:146 | the holy archbishop of Rome, he illuminated the benighted regions of 04Yegh3    7:152 | and ungodly to boot—so he was unwilling to heed the 04Yegh3    7:154 | Therefore, he quickly dispatched that same Elpharios 04Yegh3    7:154 | firm pact with him that he would not support the Armenian 04Yegh3    7:162 | He chose and took with him 04Yegh3    7:162 | took with him those whom he knew to be weak in 04Yegh3    7:170 | troops from the royal house he brought over to his side 04Yegh3    7:171 | With deceitful cunning he lay in wait in the 04Yegh3    7:171 | with the fictitious excuse that he would rapidly move to attack 04Yegh3    7:172 | from his securely hidden lair he quickly sent messengers to the 04Yegh3    8:177 | This he wrote and explained to the 04Yegh3    8:178 | When he heard all this encouraging news 04Yegh3    8:178 | a small number of troops, he did not remain in the 04Yegh3    8:178 | the great river called Kura. He encountered him near the borders 04Yegh3    8:179 | crossing with all his troops, he drew them up to enclose 04Yegh3    8:187 | of his aides-de-camp he killed with him 04Yegh3    8:191 | the skin of his teeth, he brought the sad news to 04Yegh3    9:201 | because of the rebellious Vasak: “ He has abandoned the Christian covenant 04Yegh3    9:201 | which was the army’s quarters. He has also seized, destroyed, and 04Yegh3    9:201 | and towns in its neighborhood. He has put to flight all 04Yegh3    9:202 | He has also laid hands on 04Yegh3    9:202 | seized the holy altar vessels. He has led away captive priests’ 04Yegh3    9:202 | bound them and imprisoned them. He has extended his ravaging and 04Yegh3    9:206 | aloud: “Acknowledge the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy 04Yegh3    9:206 | for his mercy is eternal. He has struck great nations and 04Yegh3    9:206 | and slain mighty princes. For he is good; for his mercy 04Yegh3    9:208 | and rear and the sides, he brought the army back safe 04Yegh3    9:210 | other, taking advantage of night he fled for refuge into the 04Yegh3    9:210 | the captives and plunder that he had brought from the province 04Yegh3    9:210 | well as his own property he unwillingly abandoned in his flight 04Yegh3    9:211 | troops had seized the provisions, he, Vardan was unable to supply 04Yegh3    9:211 | forces in one area; so, he spread them through various provinces 04Yegh3    9:212 | He commanded them to be ready 04Yegh3    9:213 | the group of senior nobles he kept in support, and he 04Yegh3    9:213 | he kept in support, and he seized and occupied the royal 04Yegh3    9:214 | He sent numerous forces into the 04Yegh3    9:214 | capturing and destroying many provinces. He put him (Vasak) and all 04Yegh3    9:215 | And many sufferings did he inflict on the apostate. Finally 04Yegh3    9:219 | for no reason and unjustly he ( the king) had constrained them 04Yegh3    9:219 | of the rebel Vasak: how he had deceived the king by 04Yegh3    9:219 | made an agreement with him he had made false insinuations on 04Yegh3    9:221 | of the terrible disaster that he ( Vardan) had brought upon the 04Yegh3    9:222 | the nobles. But of this he was not yet aware—that 04Yegh3    9:223 | making him shake and quiver. He lost all his strength, especially 04Yegh3    9:223 | all his strength, especially because he had returned from the war 04Yegh3    9:224 | When he had received accurate confirmation from 04Yegh3    9:224 | who had come to him, he threw all the blame for 04Yegh3    9:225 | Then he cooled from his raging anger 04Yegh3    10:226 | He was humbled from his lofty 04Yegh3    10:226 | from his lofty pride, and he restored his wild heart to 04Yegh3    10:226 | wild heart to human nature. He looked and saw himself full 04Yegh3    10:226 | saw himself full of weakness. He realized that he could not 04Yegh3    10:226 | of weakness. He realized that he could not complete everything he 04Yegh3    10:226 | he could not complete everything he wished to do. Therefore, he 04Yegh3    10:226 | he wished to do. Therefore, he ceased his haughty aggression, and 04Yegh3    10:227 | He who had loudly thundered and 04Yegh3    10:230 | in my father’s time when he sat on this noble throne 04Yegh3    10:231 | When he began to examine and scrutinize 04Yegh3    10:231 | and had understood them well, he found the Christian religion to 04Yegh3    10:232 | Christians, whom they call bishops, he treated as worthy of presents 04Yegh3    10:233 | And he entrusted to them as reliable 04Yegh3    10:237 | words and more like them he addressed to the nobility, laying 04Yegh3    10:242 | seemed pleasing to the king. He immediately summoned before him those 04Yegh3    10:242 | who observed Christianity and whom he had forcibly prevented from daring 04Yegh3    10:243 | those who had opposed him, he had tortured and prevented from 04Yegh3    10:243 | from open worship; and some he had made worship the sun 04Yegh3    10:244 | But that day he commanded them to remain firm 04Yegh3    10:246 | and he let the priests deal with 04Yegh3    10:247 | that had been cut off he restored to each one; the 04Yegh3    10:247 | that had been denied them he ordered to be restored; and 04Yegh3    10:247 | ordered to be restored; and he did not prevent their continuous 04Yegh3    10:247 | continuous access to the palace. He reestablished everything according to its 04Yegh3    10:248 | He humbled himself and spoke with 04Yegh3    10:249 | When he had completed all these arrangements 04Yegh3    10:249 | these arrangements, in their presence he sent edicts of amnesty throughout 04Yegh3    10:250 | in bonds, by royal command he is to be released. If 04Yegh3    11:252 | When he had informed them of all 04Yegh3    11:252 | informed them of all this, he requested from them a testimony 04Yegh3    11:252 | Armenia; and with an oath he subscribed to a covenant in 04Yegh3    11:254 | All this he put in writing and made 04Yegh3    11:254 | religion. But secretly and deceptively he made haste to send messengers 04Yegh3    11:255 | When he had verified that the Romans 04Yegh3    11:255 | or in any other way, he reverted to his earlier wicked 04Yegh3    11:256 | Since he put the responsibility for the 04Yegh3    11:256 | events on his own ministers, he thus assumed that they could 04Yegh3    11:257 | after two and three attempts he was rebuffed, but he is 04Yegh3    11:257 | attempts he was rebuffed, but he is not ashamed 04Yegh3    11:258 | Even though he is aware of our indissoluble 04Yegh3    11:258 | aware of our indissoluble unity, he is impudent and shameless nonetheless 04Yegh3    11:258 | shameless nonetheless; by harassing us he intends to weaken our courage 04Yegh3    11:260 | For he who is himself wicked cannot 04Yegh3    11:260 | be good to another. And he who himself walks in darkness 04Yegh3    11:262 | sins. In that same body he was crucified, buried, and resurrected 04Yegh3    11:262 | was crucified, buried, and resurrected; he appeared to many, was raised 04Yegh3    11:267 | which forces heinous apostasy? Will he today become the preacher of 04Yegh3    11:269 | He who swore in his vain 04Yegh3    11:271 | But when he realized that he could not 04Yegh3    11:271 | But when he realized that he could not break the firmness 04Yegh3    11:271 | firmness of their unity, then he dispatched from his presence the 04Yegh3    11:271 | perpetrated much slaughter. The food he had craved since childhood was 04Yegh3    11:271 | and the drink of which he was never sated was the 04Yegh3    11:272 | the evil of this man he added his own lethal command 04Yegh3    11:272 | added his own lethal command: he gathered under his command troops 04Yegh3    11:273 | Approaching the borders of Armenia, he entered the town of Paytakaran 04Yegh3    11:274 | as not to be feared. He threatened the distant by fearful 04Yegh3    11:275 | He was the prince and commander 04Yegh3    11:276 | obeyed his command; and now he had undertaken the latter’s sinister 04Yegh4    1:9 | This wicked Mihrnerseh, since he was previously well informed of 04Yegh4    1:10 | As he had earlier broken away from 04Yegh4    1:10 | the union of the Armenians, he came and presented himself. He 04Yegh4    1:10 | he came and presented himself. He confirmed his own faithfulness and 04Yegh4    1:11 | He also exaggerated and told of 04Yegh4    1:12 | Although inwardly he greatly despised him, yet in 04Yegh4    1:12 | him, yet in outward appearance he respected him and presented him 04Yegh4    1:13 | He promised him greater authority than 04Yegh4    1:13 | him greater authority than that he possessed, and raised him to 04Yegh4    1:13 | station—to the effect that he might aspire even to royal 04Yegh4    1:13 | to royal status if only he could find a way to 04Yegh4    1:14 | embittered old man knew that he was benumbed and deranged and 04Yegh4    1:14 | firm unity of the Armenians. He was greatly consoled in his 04Yegh4    1:14 | miserable mind and thought that he would thus be able to 04Yegh4    1:15 | He attributed this knowledge to his 04Yegh4    1:16 | For he had forgotten the coming of 04Yegh4    1:16 | preaching of the Holy Gospel. He was not dismayed by threats 04Yegh4    1:17 | He renounced the font which had 04Yegh4    1:17 | had conceived him, nor did he remember the receptive Holy Spirit 04Yegh4    1:18 | He dishonored the honorable body by 04Yegh4    1:18 | the honorable body by which he had been sanctified, and he 04Yegh4    1:18 | he had been sanctified, and he trampled on the living blood 04Yegh4    1:18 | the living blood by which he had been redeemed from sin 04Yegh4    1:19 | He annulled the deed of adoption 04Yegh4    1:20 | He left the number of the 04Yegh4    1:21 | Perversely he accepted and adopted devil-worship 04Yegh4    1:21 | accepted and adopted devil-worship. He became a vessel of evil 04Yegh4    1:22 | He took Satan as a shield 04Yegh4    1:23 | He fought against the wise with 04Yegh4    1:23 | and secretly against the prudent. He seized and drove many from 04Yegh4    1:24 | Into many other places he stealthily insinuated himself, and like 04Yegh4    1:24 | fortified places. Opening a breach, he snatched away and openly seized 04Yegh4    2:37 | He caused his entire land to 04Yegh4    2:37 | many of the holy clergy. He accomplished his evil deeds notably 04Yegh4    2:37 | a deacon called Mushi. These he sent to innocent men, to 04Yegh4    2:39 | He brought together all who had 04Yegh4    2:39 | a force of many soldiers. He wrote their names and presented 04Yegh4    2:39 | person to the great hazarapet; he greatly boasted of his brave 04Yegh4    2:39 | of his brave valor, how he had instructed them in deceitful 04Yegh4    2:39 | them in deceitful error; and he made the Armenian army appear 04Yegh4    2:40 | in all these evil actions, he also broke the union of 04Yegh4    2:40 | union of Georgia with Armenia; he did not allow the Albanians 04Yegh4    2:40 | the Albanians to advance and he held back the land of 04Yegh4    2:41 | He wrote an epistle to the 04Yegh4    2:42 | In this, time of trouble he was the sparapet of Lower 04Yegh4    2:44 | He wrote and pretended continuously that 04Yegh4    2:45 | with great caution, so that he estranged the minds of the 04Yegh4    2:46 | He deceived and tricked particularly through 04Yegh4    2:46 | that they were honest men. He had the Gospel and cross 04Yegh4    2:47 | He ranked himself and all the 04Yegh4    2:47 | than all the Armenian troops. He swore and affirmed and produced 04Yegh4    2:49 | He acted likewise with the garrisons 04Yegh4    2:49 | in the land of Khaḷtik. He sent word, urging that no 04Yegh4    3:51 | But on their account, he assembled the mass of the 04Yegh4    3:52 | For he did not give the Persian 04Yegh4    3:52 | troops to the Ghor Pass; he gathered the entire forces of 04Yegh4    3:53 | Some he constrained by money and liberal 04Yegh4    3:54 | accordance with the king’s order, he wrote daily reports to the 04Yegh4    3:55 | From then on, he dared to show himself to 04Yegh4    3:56 | the princes of his party, he gave many gifts from the 04Yegh4    3:57 | He also brought before him the 04Yegh4    3:58 | When the hazarapet heard this, he was very grateful to the 04Yegh4    3:59 | In this fashion he brought disturbance and confusion to 04Yegh4    3:59 | Armenia, with the result that he split many blood brothers from 04Yegh4    3:60 | the holy covenant of virtue. He wrote a report about them 04Yegh4    3:60 | about them to the court; he received authority over their property 04Yegh4    3:61 | He persecuted and put to flight 04Yegh4    3:62 | He accomplished all this wickedness against 04Yegh4    3:62 | know, namely, by what means he might be able to remove 04Yegh4    3:63 | all this evil in him, he put his hopes in him 04Yegh4    3:64 | He inquired and discovered how many 04Yegh4    3:65 | When he learned from him that there 04Yegh4    3:65 | were more than sixty thousand, he asked for even more information 04Yegh4    3:66 | When he heard the total number of 04Yegh4    3:66 | total number of the army, he was even more anxious to 04Yegh4    3:66 | the brave champions, so that he might prepare three against each 04Yegh4    3:67 | He also inquired from him about 04Yegh4    3:70 | After he had been informed by him 04Yegh4    3:70 | by him about all this, he summoned all his generals, and 04Yegh4    3:71 | He entrusted all the troops with 04Yegh4    3:72 | He himself then marched to the 04Yegh4    3:72 | Vasak’s deceitful subterfuge, namely, how he had wished to hide his 04Yegh4    3:72 | hide his original impiety because he had broken and divided the 04Yegh4    3:73 | mouth of the great hazarapet, he was inwardly embittered and uttered 04Yegh5    1:5 | the discord of his country, he experienced no hesitation or doubt 04Yegh5    1:6 | Although he well knew that many others 04Yegh5    1:6 | united with him were vacillating, he took heart and encouraged his 04Yegh5    1:6 | and encouraged his soldiers, for he had a firm hold on 04Yegh5    1:7 | He commanded all the troops to 04Yegh5    1:7 | followed the prince of Siunik he appointed in their stead their 04Yegh5    1:7 | them each one’s troops, since he still controlled the whole country 04Yegh5    1:16 | suffered a merciless death. But he who advanced bravely acquired a 04Yegh5    2:27 | He who thundered above the clouds 04Yegh5    2:28 | He who wished by the mere 04Yegh5    2:29 | He who supposed that we put 04Yegh5    2:29 | garment, now realizes that as he cannot change the color of 04Yegh5    2:29 | color of his skin, so he will perhaps never be able 04Yegh5    2:35 | liberal bestower of gifts, as he indeed said in the Holy 04Yegh5    2:44 | addressed the whole host. Furthermore, he exhorted and encouraged each of 04Yegh5    2:45 | Whichever soldier lacked something he provided from his own resources 04Yegh5    2:45 | own resources or his companions’. He supplied arms to the one 04Yegh5    2:45 | one who had no arms; he clothed the one who needed 04Yegh5    2:45 | the one who needed clothes; he gave a horse to the 04Yegh5    2:46 | With liberal pay he contented them all, showing himself 04Yegh5    2:47 | In accordance with military practice he continually repeated to them the 04Yegh5    2:47 | records of valiant men, for he himself had been learned in 04Yegh5    2:48 | brave model of the Maccabees, he read it out to them 04Yegh5    2:50 | Likewise, he recalled to the soldiers how 04Yegh5    3:51 | So, he spoke; and there on the 04Yegh5    3:51 | and there on the plain he pitched camp, installed the troops 04Yegh5    3:53 | Halting in that province, he pitched his camp, dug ditches 04Yegh5    3:54 | large force from his army, he raided many provinces seeking plunder 04Yegh5    3:56 | He opposed the Persians with two 04Yegh5    3:57 | He himself returned safe and sound 04Yegh5    3:58 | accordance with his former duplicity. He went around with the false 04Yegh5    3:58 | royal mission; with an oath he confirmed that they could observe 04Yegh5    3:59 | Although he did this for many days 04Yegh5    3:59 | did this for many days, he was unable to break their 04Yegh5    3:62 | impartial vengeance on his creatures. He even ordered the sea of 04Yegh5    3:64 | one in the human race; he softened the severity of the 04Yegh5    3:65 | his own hands the gifts he had received from him. Therefore 04Yegh5    3:65 | him as a model, for he saw in him a type 04Yegh5    3:67 | comrades, the great Moses’ before he had reached manhood the mystery 04Yegh5    3:67 | the people’s deliverance from oppression he became a mediator between heaven 04Yegh5    3:68 | strong, in his own person he took vengeance on the Egyptians 04Yegh5    3:68 | upon him, through his rod he worked great miracles 04Yegh5    3:69 | Because of the holy zeal he possessed, he smote the Egyptian 04Yegh5    3:69 | the holy zeal he possessed, he smote the Egyptian and buried 04Yegh5    3:70 | The main thing is that he was justified by the shedding 04Yegh5    3:71 | If from afar he displayed such zeal for the 04Yegh5    3:72 | As he lay down his life in 04Yegh5    3:74 | idolatry. In his righteous zeal he slew eight hundred with his 04Yegh5    3:74 | unquenchable fire. Having sought retribution, he was raised from earth to 04Yegh5    4:77 | of the giant’s fearsome sword. He scattered the forces of the 04Yegh5    4:77 | and the people from enslavement. He became the first of the 04Yegh5    4:78 | He was so called for the 04Yegh5    4:85 | He becomes neither new nor ancient 04Yegh5    4:85 | God does not change. As he himself said through the mouth 04Yegh5    4:88 | joy which lay before him, he patiently endured death—even the 04Yegh5    4:89 | For he who is truly united to 04Yegh5    4:90 | So, he who has trod the divine 04Yegh5    4:90 | and seen all its greatness, he alone will inherit unfading joy 04Yegh5    4:100 | is clear to all, and he who can understand is the 04Yegh5    5:105 | our salvation is here. Here he bravely fought to the death 04Yegh5    5:106 | the world. It seemed that he had died, but he then 04Yegh5    5:106 | that he had died, but he then bore off the prize 04Yegh5    5:106 | the prize of complete victory; he threw down the champion, won 04Yegh5    5:112 | priest Ḷevond spoke that night; he ended with a blessing, saying 04Yegh5    5:115 | indissoluble union had failed, then he summoned the impious Vasak and 04Yegh5    5:115 | Armenia who were with him. He questioned them to discover what 04Yegh5    5:116 | about each man’s individual valor, he summoned many of the generals 04Yegh5    5:116 | the companies of elephants. These he divided into various groups, and 04Yegh5    5:116 | divided into various groups, and he assigned to each elephant three 04Yegh5    5:117 | He addressed the greatest nobles at 04Yegh5    5:121 | Likewise, he reminded them of their many 04Yegh5    5:122 | and even more strongly did he emphasize the royal orders 04Yegh5    5:123 | He set in order the whole 04Yegh5    5:124 | He disposed the three thousand armed 04Yegh5    5:124 | his warriors. In this fashion he strengthened the center like a 04Yegh5    5:125 | He distributed banners, unfurled flags, and 04Yegh5    6:126 | rest of the army’s elite he assembled in once place, and 04Yegh5    6:128 | The first division he entrusted to the prince of 04Yegh5    6:128 | in support. Many other nobles he appointed as adjutants to these 04Yegh5    6:129 | The second division he entrusted to Khoren Khorkhoruni, with 04Yegh5    6:130 | The third division he put under the command of 04Yegh5    6:131 | He took upon himself the command 04Yegh5    6:132 | He deployed his battle line, spreading 04Yegh5    6:140 | Armenian force. With great vigor he attacked the spot and broke 04Yegh5    6:140 | on the elephants; surrounding them, he cut them down back to 04Yegh5    6:141 | Such confusion he brought upon them that the 04Yegh5    6:143 | Therefore, raising a shout, he urged on the Aryan soldiers 04Yegh5    6:145 | When Mushkan Nisalavurt saw this, he waited for the elephants of 04Yegh5    6:145 | sound of the great trumpets he urged on his troops and 04Yegh5    6:146 | in that very place where he himself became worthy to suffer 04Yegh5    8:171 | Particularly when he saw that the terrible casualties 04Yegh5    8:171 | strength and powers failed and he could not calm his troubled 04Yegh5    8:171 | the battle was not what he had expected 04Yegh5    8:172 | When he saw the great number of 04Yegh5    8:172 | reckoned them up, and when he discovered how many more of 04Yegh5    8:172 | than in the Armenian army, he was especially disturbed—even more 04Yegh5    8:173 | For fear of the king he could not describe events accurately 04Yegh5    8:173 | describe events accurately, yet again he was unable to conceal them 04Yegh5    8:174 | up to console his distress. He indicated to him deceitful means 04Yegh5    8:174 | to him deceitful means whereby he might be able to attack 04Yegh5    8:175 | He sealed sworn declarations with the 04Yegh5    8:175 | in his company. The latter he sent as messengers to announce 04Yegh5    8:175 | pardon for the insurrection, and he indicated that permission had been 04Yegh5    8:176 | had indeed been broken as he had been struck on two 04Yegh6    1:1 | the Aryan nobility. Taking troops, he reached the fortress in which 04Yegh6    1:4 | front of the Persian general he rehearsed all the evils that 04Yegh6    1:4 | rehearsed all the evils that he had brought upon Armenia 04Yegh6    1:7 | gone down and presented themselves, he ordered two hundred and thirteen 04Yegh6    1:14 | Mushkan Nisalavurt heard of this, he was unable to impose the 04Yegh6    2:30 | one’s iniquity, so again now he urged and pressed the Persian 04Yegh6    2:36 | He parleyed with them in an 04Yegh6    2:36 | of the innocent was harmless. He entreated the apostate Vasak and 04Yegh6    2:36 | to the Christian covenant, hoping he might soften a little from 04Yegh6    2:37 | But he did not listen and paid 04Yegh6    2:37 | no heed to his words. He bound and sent off the 04Yegh6    2:38 | More particularly, when he saw what the commander of 04Yegh6    2:38 | fort was following his suggestions, he then began to send out 04Yegh6    3:53 | this reached the Persian general, he erupted in anger; in his 04Yegh6    3:53 | anger; in his great wrath he piled the blame on the 04Yegh6    3:54 | Then he set off and went to 04Yegh6    3:55 | outcome of the great battle, he desisted from his arrogant boasting 04Yegh6    3:55 | desisted from his arrogant boasting; he kept silent and refrained from 04Yegh6    3:55 | from his perpetual deceitful scheming. He inquired into the failure of 04Yegh6    3:56 | venture was the hazarapet Mihrnerseh; he came forward and said to 04Yegh6    3:57 | general in that war, and he appointed him governor of the 04Yegh6    3:58 | He despatched Mushkan Nisalavurt with all 04Yegh6    3:60 | So, he ordered Vasak, with the leading 04Yegh6    3:62 | Following the king’s orders, he summoned Sahak, the saintly bishop 04Yegh6    3:63 | greatly harassed the fire-worshipers, he did not hesitate to come 04Yegh6    3:64 | by imprisonment and tortures; yet he did not hesitate either, but 04Yegh6    3:67 | gained information from them all, he wrote an accurate account of 04Yegh6    3:67 | to the court, just as he had heard it from their 04Yegh6    3:68 | falsely, twisting the facts as he pleased, yet he had been 04Yegh6    3:68 | facts as he pleased, yet he had been unable to justify 04Yegh6    3:70 | been brought into the city, he interviewed them himself 04Yegh6    3:71 | But although he was informed about everything by 04Yegh6    3:71 | informed about everything by them, he was unable to lay hands 04Yegh6    3:72 | Therefore, he ordered the holy ones to 04Yegh6    3:72 | to be guarded carefully and he commanded the country to be 04Yegh6    3:73 | He ordered the bishops to occupy 04Yegh6    3:74 | He even allowed them to receive 04Yegh6    3:75 | occupied and plundered many provinces, he ordered the taxes of the 04Yegh6    3:75 | country to be remitted and he even reduced the burden of 04Yegh6    4:76 | the monks, who had disappeared, he ordered to return and occupy 04Yegh6    4:77 | Let everyone,” he said, “perform all the rites 04Yegh6    4:79 | He sealed sworn oaths and sent 04Yegh6    4:81 | was most important of all, he sent out edicts from the 04Yegh6    4:81 | his will to accept magism, he could again embrace Christianity 04Yegh6    4:82 | mind; let him worship as he wishes to worship. They are 04Yegh6    4:83 | So, he spoke, and he put his 04Yegh6    4:83 | So, he spoke, and he put his order in writing 04Yegh6    4:87 | So, he immediately had sent to them 04Yegh6    4:90 | When the king heard this, he ordered them to be summoned 04Yegh6    4:92 | still in his winter palace, he ordered a tribunal to be 04Yegh6    4:97 | Similarly, he had been implicated in the 04Yegh6    4:98 | seized from the Persians, since he had been governor at the 04Yegh6    4:99 | from the Gnuni family, whom he had sent on an embassy 04Yegh6    4:99 | with that very message which he had given him sealed with 04Yegh6    4:100 | shed: how by false oaths he had tricked Armenians into coming 04Yegh6    4:100 | down from their fortresses; some he killed, others he took captive 04Yegh6    4:100 | fortresses; some he killed, others he took captive as royal slaves 04Yegh6    5:101 | mischief it turned out that he had stolen the tax of 04Yegh6    5:102 | friends who revealed the crimes he had committed against Armenia 04Yegh6    5:105 | and reveal in order how he had made friends with Heran 04Yegh6    5:106 | was governor of Armenia and he had been found to be 04Yegh6    5:107 | well as many other deceits: he behaved falsely not only to 04Yegh6    5:107 | himself, and from his youth he had never acquitted himself honestly 04Yegh6    5:111 | Satan’s snare, because through them he carries out his cruel will 04Yegh6    5:112 | For while he was nominally a Christian, he 04Yegh6    5:112 | he was nominally a Christian, he thought he could outwardly cover 04Yegh6    5:112 | nominally a Christian, he thought he could outwardly cover up and 04Yegh6    5:112 | from your unwitting majesty; and he did conceal all his treachery 04Yegh6    5:116 | had gained by great effort, he lost it all in a 04Yegh6    5:117 | honorable name of God, which he falsely bore, was removed from 04Yegh6    5:118 | For if he has been shown to be 04Yegh6    5:118 | to whom among mortals will he be true 04Yegh6    5:120 | It seems to me that he has diverted you with false 04Yegh6    5:121 | But neither you, nor he, nor anyone to come after 04Yegh6    5:123 | hazarapet’s mind was astonished, and he carefully reflected on all the 04Yegh6    5:124 | Since he realized that the man had 04Yegh6    5:124 | condemned for his unworthy deeds, he entered the palace and expounded 04Yegh6    5:125 | hazarapet of the man’s guilt, he was exceedingly angry and deeply 04Yegh6    6:126 | He kept silent for twelve days 04Yegh6    6:127 | Then on one special day he ordered all the eminent nobles 04Yegh6    6:128 | to previous royal customary usage he wore the robe of honor 04Yegh6    6:128 | the king had given him; he also put on his head 04Yegh6    6:128 | on top. Round his waist he put the girdle of pure 04Yegh6    6:128 | all his marks of honor he went to court, where he 04Yegh6    6:128 | he went to court, where he appeared to the assembly as 04Yegh6    6:131 | On his arrival he sat in the inner gallery 04Yegh6    6:133 | He reminded him of all the 04Yegh6    6:133 | proceedings of the tribunal where he had been condemned 04Yegh6    6:134 | been mentioned there, these too he indicated to him: that he 04Yegh6    6:134 | he indicated to him: that he did not legally hold the 04Yegh6    6:134 | but by treachery and intrigue he had had his uncle Vaḷinak 04Yegh6    6:136 | He was entirely confounded and no 04Yegh6    6:139 | He was bound hand and foot 04Yegh6    6:147 | us at the beginning—behold, he becomes the accomplice of Satan 04Yegh6    6:148 | is still in the body, he has received the pledge of 04Yegh6    7:151 | had been previously at court. He looked and yearned, but no 04Yegh6    7:152 | Day after day he was brought and thrown like 04Yegh6    7:152 | carrion into the great square; he was mocked and ridiculed and 04Yegh6    7:153 | robbed him, taking away everything he possessed; and they so derided 04Yegh6    7:154 | imposed on his house that he had to resort to the 04Yegh6    7:154 | pay the fine—and still he was unable to pay off 04Yegh6    7:156 | If he found any, he was to 04Yegh6    7:156 | If he found any, he was to dig it out 04Yegh6    7:157 | After he had been maltreated from all 04Yegh6    7:157 | all sides in this fashion, he succumbed to painful diseases there 04Yegh6    7:162 | He tasted the death of suffocation 04Yegh6    7:164 | He who sinfully had wished to 04Yegh6    7:164 | had no known tomb, for he died like a dog and 04Yegh6    7:166 | There was no crime he left uncommitted during his lifetime 04Yegh7    1:2 | reaching the land of Apar, he ordered that the nobles and 04Yegh7    1:2 | two of the blessed prisoners he made march with him 04Yegh7    1:3 | He struck fear into all the 04Yegh7    1:3 | the Christian communities through which he passed 04Yegh7    1:4 | in the truth by them. He had of his own will 04Yegh7    1:4 | the king’s authority, but when he saw the saints being tormented 04Yegh7    1:4 | saw the saints being tormented, he became very embittered 04Yegh7    1:5 | But since he was unable to help them 04Yegh7    1:5 | was unable to help them, he fled to the king of 04Yegh7    1:6 | He went and told him all 04Yegh7    1:6 | king had inflicted on Armenia. He also informed him about the 04Yegh7    1:6 | from loyalty to the king. He also indicated to him the 04Yegh7    1:7 | of the Kushans heard this, he in no way doubted or 04Yegh7    1:7 | man, nor did the suspicion he might be a spy enter 04Yegh7    1:8 | For he had learned a little earlier 04Yegh7    1:8 | land of the Kushans; so, he immediately made haste to assemble 04Yegh7    1:9 | For although he was unable to face him 04Yegh7    1:9 | nonetheless, falling on his rear he inflicted many losses on the 04Yegh7    1:10 | And he pressed and assailed them so 04Yegh7    1:10 | a small number of troops, he turned them back. In hot 04Yegh7    1:10 | them back. In hot pursuit, he plundered many royal provinces, and 04Yegh7    1:10 | plundered many royal provinces, and he himself returned safely to his 04Yegh7    1:11 | When the king saw that he had returned from his campaign 04Yegh7    1:11 | campaign in disgrace and ignominy, he moderated his pride a little 04Yegh7    1:12 | the vexation of his heart he did not know on whom 04Yegh7    1:13 | hazarapet was much afraid, for he himself was the cause of 04Yegh7    1:14 | He began to make suggestions to 04Yegh7    1:16 | king to violent anger, until he made rapid haste to shed 04Yegh7    1:17 | He gave a command with regard 04Yegh7    1:19 | he ordered the intendant, whose name 04Yegh7    1:20 | of the king’s command. For he was the governing religious authority 04Yegh7    1:21 | glory in their erring hierarchy— he had the title of Hamakden 04Yegh7    1:21 | had the title of Hamakden; he also knew the Ampartkash, had 04Yegh7    1:23 | It seemed to him that he was perfect in all knowledge 04Yegh7    1:23 | was perfect in all knowledge; he regarded the blessed ones as 04Yegh7    1:24 | He conceived the vain idea of 04Yegh7    1:25 | Therefore, he separated the priests from the 04Yegh7    2:26 | He ordered that two barley loaves 04Yegh7    2:26 | at each meal time. And he allowed no one at all 04Yegh7    2:27 | When he had tormented them in this 04Yegh7    2:27 | word of vacillation from them, he thought that one of his 04Yegh7    2:28 | He went himself and sealed the 04Yegh7    2:28 | the prison, and had men he trusted take the allotted ration 04Yegh7    2:28 | the allotted ration to them.

He who was the cause of 04Yegh7    3:68 | Then he who had freely found God 04Yegh7    3:73 | But he remained on his feet; he 04Yegh7    3:73 | he remained on his feet; he did not sleep but raised 04Yegh7    3:74 | While he was looking attentively to heaven 04Yegh7    3:75 | He retained in his mind the 04Yegh7    3:75 | in each of the groups he saw: one was a thousand 04Yegh7    4:76 | They came so close that he even recognized three of them 04Yegh7    4:80 | He woke the saints from their 04Yegh7    4:84 | He not only saw heaven, the 04Yegh7    4:84 | work of your fingers, but he saw heaven and its inhabitants 04Yegh7    4:84 | and its inhabitants; and while he was still on earth, he 04Yegh7    4:84 | he was still on earth, he joined the company of the 04Yegh7    4:85 | He saw the souls of the 04Yegh7    4:85 | souls of the just martyrs, he also saw the likeness of 04Yegh7    4:86 | Blessed is he for this holy vision, and 04Yegh7    4:86 | have learned for sure that he to whom such wonders are 04Yegh7    4:92 | him, therefore in the morning he openly took the prisoners to 04Yegh7    4:93 | He washed and cleansed them from 04Yegh7    4:94 | He set up a font in 04Yegh7    4:94 | received Holy Baptism from them. He communicated in the life-giving 04Yegh7    4:95 | In a loud voice he cried out: “May this Baptism 04Yegh7    4:96 | He also placed before them a 04Yegh7    4:97 | But although he himself had attained heavenly blessings 04Yegh7    4:97 | afraid of human torments, nonetheless he was in great anxiety for 04Yegh7    4:98 | Therefore, he secretly summoned at night the 04Yegh7    5:101 | them; having lived among peasants he was more ignorant than they 04Yegh7    5:109 | ruler of which is Christ— he is the president of the 04Yegh7    5:109 | president of the arena where he first competed and won the 04Yegh7    5:111 | head of our table, so he will be the first tomorrow 04Yegh7    5:113 | When he had said this, he received 04Yegh7    5:113 | When he had said this, he received a corroborating reply from 04Yegh7    5:114 | He note: “May Christ so do 04Yegh7    5:114 | your holy prayers, and may he bring about my departure from 04Yegh7    5:116 | May he have mercy on me as 04Yegh7    5:116 | have mercy on me as he did on the thief at 04Yegh7    5:116 | the crucifixion. As through him he opened the closed gates of 04Yegh7    5:116 | gates of paradise so that he was the first to become 04Yegh7    5:118 | Because he came to seek a single 04Yegh7    5:119 | with his numerous holy companions; he brought the crown for you 04Yegh7    5:119 | the crown for you but he gave the joyful news to 04Yegh7    6:131 | But he is the same Lord who 04Yegh7    6:135 | entered inside and saw that he who previously was the chief 04Yegh7    6:137 | Now when he heard the news from the 04Yegh7    6:137 | with great terror that perchance he himself might be involved because 04Yegh7    6:137 | himself might be involved because he was a very close friend 04Yegh7    6:138 | He ordered them all to be 04Yegh7    6:139 | Secretly he asked the chief-magus the 04Yegh7    6:142 | When he had heard all this from 04Yegh7    6:142 | solidarity with the saints—that he could not be severed from 04Yegh7    6:142 | severed from agreement with them— he did not dare lay hands 04Yegh7    6:142 | lay hands on him, although he had authority from the court 04Yegh7    6:143 | But he made haste to go and 04Yegh7    6:143 | king secretly everything just as he had heard it from him 04Yegh7    6:147 | a debate with him, as he is the most knowledgeable teacher 04Yegh7    6:147 | teacher of this land perhaps, he will destroy our religion, shattering 04Yegh7    6:149 | And if he is put to death by 04Yegh7    7:151 | old man to see if he can be persuaded by friendly 04Yegh7    7:152 | Then if he is not persuaded and does 04Yegh7    7:152 | from the country, so that he may be suspected of treachery 04Yegh7    7:152 | him into a dungeon where he may suffer a miserable death 04Yegh7    7:156 | He questioned the chief-magus, saying 04Yegh7    7:160 | When Denshapuh saw that he set the royal threats at 04Yegh7    7:160 | public than in private, then he acted against him in accordance 04Yegh7    7:161 | secretly he was sent into distant exile 04Yegh7    7:161 | instructed by his master, so he acted 04Yegh7    7:162 | He, the king, also appointed two 04Yegh7    7:166 | secretly observed Christianity. By chance he had been appointed to the 04Yegh7    7:166 | with the instruments of torture. He came in the middle of 04Yegh7    7:167 | The first group supposed he was of the middle group 04Yegh7    7:167 | middle group, the middle that he was of the third, and 04Yegh7    8:176 | All the desolation of Armenia, he says, and the losses of 04Yegh7    8:179 | all this land depended—because he despised the Mazdean religion and 04Yegh7    8:179 | exile that in his journey he will never reach the place 04Yegh7    8:180 | Now if he did not spare his own 04Yegh7    8:180 | religion, how much less will he have regard for you foreigners 04Yegh7    8:183 | own free will divinizes whom he wishes and enslaves whom he 04Yegh7    8:183 | he wishes and enslaves whom he wishes; yet he himself has 04Yegh7    8:183 | enslaves whom he wishes; yet he himself has not yet attained 04Yegh7    8:186 | suffer any wrong from them, he has promised us the kingdom 04Yegh7    8:190 | enter the battle last? If he were to do that, he 04Yegh7    8:190 | he were to do that, he would not be called brave 04Yegh7    8:191 | for a worthless bead, unless he were to become an ignorant 04Yegh7    8:196 | blessed the land through which he will pass and the place 04Yegh7    8:196 | pass and the place where he will die. He surpasses in 04Yegh7    8:196 | place where he will die. He surpasses in honor not merely 04Yegh7    9:208 | I cannot blame you; he who has not seen the 04Yegh7    9:208 | man were to do that, he would be quickly condemned to 04Yegh7    9:212 | share in its rays, since he ( God) has placed the light 04Yegh7    9:215 | to dare to say so, he would destroy himself by his 04Yegh7    9:215 | by his ignorance; and although he would honor them with the 04Yegh7    9:221 | And because he saw us in great ignorance 04Yegh7    9:221 | acts—therefore in his love he came and was incarnate from 04Yegh7    9:222 | He even raised himself to a 04Yegh7    9:222 | gone astray after the luminaries, he stripped the sun of the 04Yegh7    9:225 | they were all exceedingly joyful, he then realized that threats or 04Yegh7    10:226 | He ordered one of the youngest 04Yegh7    10:227 | pressure. For a long time, he remained in these unbearable tortures 04Yegh7    10:231 | After saying this he was no longer able to 04Yegh7    10:233 | even less about Yoseph; for he was the leader of all 04Yegh7    10:234 | with my own eyes how he was positively considered as a 04Yegh7    10:234 | the whole country, and how he loved impartially the greatest and 04Yegh7    10:237 | by that man. But as he is sick of body and 04Yegh7    10:237 | find no healing through doctors, he is tired of a sickly 04Yegh7    10:241 | But he does not seduce us like 04Yegh7    10:241 | like some deceiving trickster; rather he loves us greatly 04Yegh7    10:244 | And if he is tired and anxious to 04Yegh7    10:247 | is fulfilling God’s commandments. But he must also look to his 04Yegh7    10:248 | commands, you do well, for he is a ravager of the 04Yegh7    10:250 | your saying of me that he has not found healing from 04Yegh7    11:254 | we are all mortal, both he who heals and he who 04Yegh7    11:254 | both he who heals and he who is healed 04Yegh7    11:257 | wonderful appearance of the courtiers, he would not be amazed at 04Yegh7    11:258 | the sick man were lying, he pays no attention to all 04Yegh7    11:258 | and putting his hand within he examines the whole body to 04Yegh7    11:258 | veins is regular. And accordingly, he will effect his cure, restoring 04Yegh7    11:261 | pains of his own torments he healed all the races of 04Yegh7    11:262 | compassion, by his second birth he begat us into health, painless 04Yegh7    11:262 | into health, painless and unwounded; he cured the old scars of 04Yegh7    11:262 | dragon by his secret scourging; he rendered us unblemished and unspotted 04Yegh7    11:269 | Then he ( Denshapuh) separated the blessed ones 04Yegh7    13:307 | mouth of the holy bishop, he was extremely terrified at the 04Yegh7    13:308 | Therefore, he was afraid to inflict torments 04Yegh7    13:308 | torments on him lest perchance he might cause him to say 04Yegh7    13:308 | himself for those insults because he had disputed patiently with them 04Yegh7    13:309 | And since he was sitting in the tribunal 04Yegh7    13:309 | roaring like an enraged lion he drew the sword and wildly 04Yegh7    13:309 | set upon the blessed ones; he struck the bishop behind the 04Yegh7    13:310 | side; then raising himself again he picked up his right hand 04Yegh7    13:311 | Furthermore, he encouraged his companions, saying: “Now 04Yegh7    13:312 | rolling in his own blood he note: “I shall bless the 04Yegh7    13:314 | This psalm he recited as far as this 04Yegh7    13:315 | even with his own eyes he saw companies of numerous angels 04Yegh7    13:316 | He also heard a voice from 04Yegh7    13:318 | He also saw distinctly that the 04Yegh7    13:319 | their death had been given, he said to the blessed Yoseph 04Yegh7    13:320 | After he had said this, they arranged 04Yegh7    13:320 | before the holy bishop. And he, giving up the spirit, cried 04Yegh7    14:334 | guards as one of them. He was a man full of 04Yegh7    14:334 | and perfect in divine knowledge. He was waiting on the lookout 04Yegh7    14:334 | for some way in which he could steal the bones from 04Yegh7    14:347 | them before the king, when he hears about all these tremendous 04Yegh7    14:350 | will offer sacrifice there, and he will satisfy and convince your 04Yegh7    15:351 | attention to the murdered saints, he immediately took ten men the 04Yegh7    15:351 | the fervor of whose Christianity he knew, and hastening to the 04Yegh7    15:355 | one place to avoid scattering. He placed these separately into six 04Yegh7    15:355 | these separately into six caskets, he found out their various names 04Yegh7    15:356 | And the iron chains he placed with each one’s bones 04Yegh7    15:356 | had thrown them away, and he likewise indicated each one’s clothing 04Yegh8    1:2 | He also removed from the city 04Yegh8    1:2 | for the name of Christ. He interrogated them, but they did 04Yegh8    1:3 | He tortured them with the bastinado 04Yegh8    1:3 | same intention even more strongly. He cut off their noses and 04Yegh8    1:5 | who were the most modest, he took them aside from the 04Yegh8    1:6 | I was named Khoren, and he Abraham. But in our spiritual 04Yegh8    1:12 | is arrested by royal orders, he is clothed in dark garments 04Yegh8    1:14 | so serve him from whom he received honor that he may 04Yegh8    1:14 | whom he received honor that he may receive from him even 04Yegh8    2:27 | the chief-executioner heard this, he was greatly enraged against them 04Yegh8    2:28 | He had them dragged about more 04Yegh8    2:32 | Then he was even more enraged against 04Yegh8    2:33 | half-dead on the ground, he ordered the ears of them 04Yegh8    2:42 | When the executioner heard this, he called the soldiers who were 04Yegh8    3:54 | the same life of virtue. He went around collecting all the 04Yegh8    3:55 | This he continued doing until the twelfth 04Yegh8    3:55 | to Armenia, so that when he came among the Armenians, they 04Yegh8    3:66 | Since he had never had the habit 04Yegh8    3:66 | good, on this occasion too he hastened to fulfill immediately the 04Yegh8    3:67 | So, he came to the land of 04Yegh8    4:76 | in such a loving fashion, he did not wish to approach 04Yegh8    4:76 | for any bodily need; but he chose for himself a place 04Yegh8    4:77 | virtue, only with difficulty could he describe it 04Yegh8    4:78 | were to mention his vigils: he spent all his nights like 04Yegh8    4:78 | of his diet, consider that he resembled the angels, who eat 04Yegh8    4:80 | With tireless voice he was assiduous at worship; with 04Yegh8    4:80 | at worship; with unceasing prayers he was always conversing with God 04Yegh8    4:81 | He was salt for the insipid 04Yegh8    4:83 | He was a source of healing 04Yegh8    4:84 | He was a perfect instructor for 04Yegh8    4:86 | In the flesh he lived in a narrow cell 04Yegh8    4:89 | He was dear to God’s beloved 04Yegh8    4:89 | many enemies of the truth he brought to accept God’s holy 04Yegh8    4:90 | Right from his youthful years he had made a beginning of 04Yegh8    4:90 | and in the same virtue he ended his days 04Yegh8    4:91 | Just as he had not participated in the 04Yegh8    4:91 | institution of holy matrimony, so he did not become involved in 04Yegh8    4:92 | to speak plainly—just as he exchanged the needs of the 04Yegh8    4:92 | for necessary spiritual things, so he was transferred from earth to 04Yegh9    1:23 | So, he sent the great hazarapet to 04Yegh9    2:30 | heard this, in his mind he very much praised the firmness 04Yegh9    2:30 | their conviction. From then on, he began to form an affection 04Yegh9    2:31 | With wordy supplications he tried to persuade the king 04Yegh9    2:32 | For although he had been removed from the 04Yegh9    2:32 | of treachery on many counts— he bore responsibility for the ruin 04Yegh9    2:32 | ruin of Armenia, for which he was dismissed to his home 04Yegh9    2:32 | home in great dishonor—nonetheless, he never wished to speak ill 04Yegh9    2:40 | He treated the elder among them 04Yegh9    2:41 | He frequently indicated in writing to 04Yegh9    2:41 | of each one of them. He troubled the leading magnates and 04Yegh9    2:42 | He ( the king) ordered their bonds 04Yegh9    2:42 | their punishment to be ended; he also ordered that they should 04Yegh9    2:42 | robes of their princely rank. He established allowances for them and 04Yegh9    2:43 | He wrote to the great sparapet 04Yegh9    2:45 | king’s mind was soothed, and he ordered them all to appear 04Yegh9    2:47 | He was delighted to see them 04Yegh9    2:50 | the king of Albania revolted. He was their nephew, and following 04Yegh9    3:51 | So, finding the occasion favorable, he was constrained to risk death 04Yegh9    3:51 | was constrained to risk death; he reckoned it better to die 04Yegh9    3:53 | the family of Mihran, although he saw that the army of 04Yegh9    3:53 | two, nonetheless with one half he ferociously attacked the king’s elder 04Yegh9    3:53 | attacked the king’s elder son. He defeated and massacred his army 04Yegh9    3:54 | The surviving troops he brought into submission, unifying the 04Yegh9    3:54 | army of the Aryans. Then he crowned his own protege, who 04Yegh9    3:55 | eleven kings of the mountains, he waged war against the Aryan 04Yegh9    3:56 | in writing and by messages he blamed them for the pointless 04Yegh9    3:57 | He reminded them of the death 04Yegh9    3:58 | so much devotion and service,” he said, “instead of granting their 04Yegh9    3:65 | He sent off his mother and 04Yegh9    3:66 | When the king heard this, he was greatly afflicted with remorse 04Yegh9    3:67 | He sealed a solemn oath and 04Yegh9    3:68 | He requested the property of his 04Yegh9    3:68 | of his youth, for when he was young his father had 04Yegh9    3:68 | him a thousand houses. This he received from the king, and 04Yegh9    3:68 | from the king, and there he settled with the monks 04Yegh9    3:69 | In such fashion he spent all his time in 04Yegh9    3:69 | divine worship, never recalling that he had previously been a king 04Yegh9    3:70 | nobles not being released. But he greatly increased their allowances and 04Yegh9    3:71 | In that same fifth year he restored to many of them 05Parp1    2:1 | He accurately recounted the waning of 05Parp1    2:3 | like a giant, and how he took back the kingdom of 05Parp1    2:3 | tribulations of that saint—how he was taken to the desert 05Parp1    3:3 | countless hosts of the Goths, he encamped his troops by the 05Parp1    3:3 | of the Ghekovb River. Because he was worthy of divine providence 05Parp1    3:3 | was worthy of divine providence, he was clearly shown the luminous 05Parp1    3:4 | which had appeared to him, he urgently sought for the Cross 05Parp1    3:6 | aforementioned small city named Biwzandios. He noted the marvellous security of 05Parp1    3:7 | He set to work at once 05Parp1    3:7 | the island be levelled and he built a glorious city named 05Parp1    3:11 | to it and wrote what he pleased. Or, perhaps some incapable 05Parp1    4:1 | case, as in everything else, he was concerned about events in 05Parp1    4:2 | He wanted all the virtues of 05Parp1    4:7 | Never in his life did he select one particular time for 05Parp1    4:7 | particular time for praying, rather he prayed without rest morning and 05Parp1    4:8 | Thus did he live until more white hairs 05Parp1    4:8 | course of his great achievement, he reposed 05Parp1    4:9 | He was buried in the chapel 05Parp1    4:12 | mighty God accomplish everything that He wills. Becoming enraged at our 05Parp1    4:12 | enraged at our evil deeds, He urges us to repent. Seeing 05Parp1    4:12 | repent. Seeing us turned good, He quickly has mercy upon us 05Parp2    6:3 | When he saw that the great authority 05Parp2    6:3 | pulled apart, in great sadness he had uneasy doubts with himself 05Parp2    6:3 | uneasy doubts with himself. First, he observed that the land of 05Parp2    6:3 | of serving two kings. Then he noted that the greater part 05Parp2    7:17 | all sorts of good things, he bestowed the cleaned game on 05Parp2    8:2 | as if going into captivity. He considered it better to go 05Parp2    8:2 | in a believing country, where he would be subject to the 05Parp2    8:3 | of the Iranian lordship. So, he preferred to live out this 05Parp2    8:4 | all of this over, suddenly he made up his hesitant mind 05Parp2    9:1 | gives you to think that he likes and is loyal to 05Parp2    9:1 | are false and fraudulent. For he has a secret oath and 05Parp2    9:4 | with great delight and eagerness. He ordered that Xosrov be quickly 05Parp2    9:5 | of his realm, vowed that he would never again see the 05Parp2    10:0 | truthful man named Mashtoc.’ He was from the district of 05Parp2    10:0 | named Vardan. In his childhood he had studied Greek. He enlisted 05Parp2    10:0 | childhood he had studied Greek. He enlisted (served) as a soldier 05Parp2    10:1 | For years he served there properly and without 05Parp2    10:1 | and without reproach, but then he began to long for the 05Parp2    10:1 | long for the monastic life. He went to a monastery of 05Parp2    10:1 | select and venerable of all. He rejected all temporal worldly pursuits 05Parp2    10:2 | Then he moved to the deserts and 05Parp2    10:2 | and became wondrous and renowned. He dwelled in numerous caves in 05Parp2    10:3 | someone wish to confirm this, he may read the history of 05Parp2    10:7 | had been considering this situation. He was grieved that there existed 05Parp2    10:8 | of the problem about which he had been thinking for such 05Parp2    10:10 | and told the king that he had seen Armenian letters in 05Parp2    10:10 | what had been said, since he also told me about it 05Parp2    10:15 | from Vahrich, listened to what he had to say, and then 05Parp2    10:20 | studied with many learned Byzantines. He was fully versed in musical 05Parp2    11:7 | Armenia, his soul rejoiced and he glorified the Savior of all 05Parp2    11:8 | With willing enthusiasm he gave himself up to the 05Parp2    11:13 | years. Having reached old age, he died peacefully in his bed 05Parp2    12:4 | thoughts in his head. First, ( he reasoned) that the land of 05Parp2    12:10 | Although (Yazkert) had such thoughts, he did not know about the 05Parp2    13:4 | words from the Armenian naxarars, he replied as follows: “I know 05Parp2    13:6 | by his actions proved that he was unworthy of the inheritance 05Parp2    13:8 | the Armenian naxarars and when he realized accurately that all the 05Parp2    13:8 | were set in this plan, he sank into great sadness and 05Parp2    13:9 | He shut himself in his room 05Parp2    13:9 | power of the holy Spirit he saw the (coming) total destruction 05Parp2    13:11 | of him from his childhood, he ceased crying for a while 05Parp2    13:14 | way out. For (Artashes), because he was baptised is our brother 05Parp2    13:14 | of our flesh, even though he is a sinner. Remember the 05Parp2    13:15 | thanks to the Holy Spirit, he turned everyone from unbelief to 05Parp2    13:15 | from unbelief to belief; how he persecuted the demons of deviance 05Parp2    13:15 | flee from you; and how he caused the seed of true 05Parp2    13:18 | of might nothing is impossible. He accomplishes in a humane fashion 05Parp2    13:19 | request, how much more will He grant the requests of such 05Parp2    13:19 | sighs and sincere hope. Perhaps He will grant much more than 05Parp2    13:21 | Despite the fact that he is blameworthy, nonetheless, having received 05Parp2    13:21 | nonetheless, having received holy baptism, he is knowledgeable regarding the question 05Parp2    13:23 | grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before 05Parp2    14:1 | the village known as Arcke. He was descended from the line 05Parp2    14:1 | of the blessed patriarch Sahak, he spoke more coarsely and crudely 05Parp2    14:1 | did all the Armenian naxarars. He befriended the Armenian naxarars because 05Parp2    14:2 | hazarapet of the royal court. He and others of the court 05Parp2    14:3 | such protest from the azatuni he did not permit them to 05Parp2    14:4 | He immediately sent an emissary to 05Parp2    14:4 | come to him at once. He wrote that the great patriarch 05Parp2    14:6 | He replied: “I have no idea 05Parp2    14:7 | into his presence alone. For he exalted him first, because of 05Parp2    14:9 | testify to their slander. Then he would be returned to the 05Parp2    14:10 | said, great luxury, and saying he would benefit from the king 05Parp2    14:11 | you consent and do as he wants—to confirm the testimony 05Parp2    14:13 | holding firm to his beliefs, he note: “I know of no 05Parp2    14:13 | according to our holy faith he is worthy of dishonor and 05Parp2    14:13 | according to your polluted faith, he deserves praise and exaltation 05Parp2    14:14 | man of his own tohm, he went and related it to 05Parp2    14:17 | of the court, heard this he was delighted and ordered immediately 05Parp2    14:17 | kingship. At the same time ( he ordered] that the kat’oghikosal tun 05Parp2    15:4 | his own brother’s son Gnel, he was especially aroused and was 05Parp2    15:9 | a certain Syrian named Brk’isho. He came to the land of 05Parp2    15:14 | He came to the land of 05Parp2    16:1 | the severe torments and batterings he was subjected to by our 05Parp2    16:2 | to recognition of God.

He was from the prominent village 05Parp4    67:7 | then broke the holy vow. He went and laid waste the 05Parp4    67:8 | the Huns, but as yet, he has not done so. Furthermore 05Parp4    67:10 | which was in those areas, he quickly reached the banks of 05Parp4    68:7 | of all.

He note: “Perhaps the multitude of 05Parp4    71:8 | since God is with you, he will make your numbers appear 05Parp4    71:8 | tossed by a severe wind, he will disperse them over the 05Parp4    71:12 | He entrusted the middle section to 05Parp4    71:12 | cavalrymen. In the right wing he designated Bashgh Vahewuni, Babgen Siwni 05Parp4    71:12 | brothers Vahan, Nerseh, and Hrahat. He placed himself to the right 05Parp4    71:13 | He also prepared other senior men 05Parp4    71:13 | select cavalry and Vren Vanandac’i, He sent Pap Artakunik’ (an ostanik 05Parp4    71:16 | and weakening before the enemy, he called to Vren Vanandac’i: “Advance 05Parp4    71:22 | by the spirit of strength, he said to all of them 05Parp4    72:4 | Vard Mamikonean, not only was he personally freed, but he peacefully 05Parp4    72:4 | was he personally freed, but he peacefully reached the country of 05Parp4    72:5 | vow of Vahan Mamikonean which he pronounced before the holy Gospel 05Parp4    72:5 | his reconversion, witness, and faith. He note: “Indeed God has recognized 05Parp4    72:5 | lamented in my error, and He accepted the fruit of confession 05Parp4    73:1 | to (Vasak) and to everyone, He left (Vard) in health among 05Parp4    73:8 | your arrival, out of fear he fled from the borders of 05Parp4    73:9 | Then he had spies dispatched from the 05Parp4    73:12 | attempted to carry out everything he said (be it true or 05Parp4    73:21 | And at this (late) hour he was still delaying and deceiving 05Parp4    74:0 | of the Armenian brigade (for he noticed that they were forlorn 05Parp4    74:1 | He entrusted the right wing to 05Parp4    74:1 | the king of Iberia; and he himself organized the center with 05Parp4    74:1 | the venerable lord of Gnunik’; he placed the venerable aspet Sahak 05Parp4    74:6 | He encountered Nerseh Kamsarakan, the lord 05Parp4    74:13 | the Iranians reached him while he was on foot, seized him 05Parp4    74:13 | Mihran. When Mihran saw him, he was delighted 05Parp4    74:14 | He threatened him with severe words 05Parp4    74:14 | in the land of Armenia, he took (Hrahat) along with him 05Parp4    75:4 | fear from On High, and he did not dare go against 05Parp4    75:4 | them to kill those whom he had wanted, to pursue and 05Parp4    75:4 | destroy the remaining fugitives. Instead, he constantly sent mild messages to 05Parp4    75:5 | since (because of his benevolence) he likes me and listens to 05Parp4    75:6 | just eyes, as a king; he should look with justice and 05Parp4    76:3 | to eat without tears. Whatever he ate had a wicked bitterness 05Parp4    76:3 | bitterness in his mouth. So, he followed after the Iranian brigade 05Parp4    76:5 | unable to devise any strategem, he drew near by one lodging 05Parp4    76:6 | is possible for God, and He will willingly hear and fulfill 05Parp4    76:7 | the man of God. But he did this with his heart 05Parp4    76:11 | of pardon. Sooner or later he will be destroyed by them 05Parp4    76:11 | a great and mighty prince, he is hardly able to hide 05Parp4    76:11 | fugitive hide and live if he has fled from the gods 05Parp4    76:14 | but so that through apostasy he would die with a bad 05Parp4    76:15 | including) his own brother Gdihon, he replied as follows 05Parp4    76:16 | from the gate. What if he purchases (life) and is saved 05Parp4    77:5 | same hour, one by one he lifted us up and took 05Parp4    77:5 | about one Iranian hrasax away. He still did not know who 05Parp4    77:5 | in accordance with his virtue, he treated us as men wounded 05Parp4    77:5 | the sake of God, and he wanted to save us or 05Parp4    77:6 | He then went to his monastery 05Parp4    77:7 | When he saw that we had been 05Parp4    77:7 | somewhat and opened our eyes, he gradually began to interrogate us 05Parp4    77:7 | and from what district, since, he said, our manner and demeanor 05Parp4    77:7 | and demeanor were such that he was led to believe we 05Parp4    77:8 | informed him about ourselves. When he heard this, he glorified God 05Parp4    77:8 | ourselves. When he heard this, he glorified God. Leaving the cleric 05Parp4    77:8 | Leaving the cleric with us, he left us and went to 05Parp4    77:9 | The next evening he returned with pack animal(s 05Parp4    77:18 | him receive his crown before he received it. And before the 05Parp4    77:20 | I realized right away that he would be taken from me 05Parp4    78:0 | bridge on the Arax River, he encamped that day in the 05Parp4    78:1 | For he had been well informed by 05Parp4    78:4 | the forest called Xosrovakert. Then he passed against the dastakert as 05Parp4    79:2 | along all the forces. As he went he took many of 05Parp4    79:2 | the forces. As he went he took many of the fortified 05Parp4    79:2 | ruining them, and moving on. He killed many people and caused 05Parp4    79:2 | blood to flow. Seeking strategems, he boasted very greatly that he 05Parp4    79:2 | he boasted very greatly that he would either arrest the brave 05Parp4    79:2 | kill him in battle. Then he would rest 05Parp4    79:3 | Giwghik, and the other, Vardashen. He encamped there that day, and 05Parp4    79:3 | and on the next day he heard that Vahan Mamikonean was 05Parp4    79:4 | brilliant Mamikonean was there unconcerned, he reached the place at daybreak 05Parp4    79:5 | He encountered there a multitude of 05Parp4    79:6 | him turned back unhappily because he had not accomplished what he 05Parp4    79:6 | he had not accomplished what he was seeking to achieve, missing 05Parp4    79:7 | women were indeed their wives, he was inwardly delighted. For he 05Parp4    79:7 | he was inwardly delighted. For he reasoned that by means of 05Parp4    79:7 | that by means of them he certainly could hunt and capture 05Parp4    79:7 | pry them from him, if he remains alone, without them, either 05Parp4    79:7 | us (as we wish), or, he ( and he alone) will flee 05Parp4    79:7 | we wish), or, he (and he alone) will flee to a 05Parp4    79:9 | laws) of the Christians which he had certainly heard about 05Parp4    79:10 | Then he himself went to Ok’agh, descended 05Parp4    80:0 | and heard the king’s command, he left (in Armenia) Shapuh with 05Parp4    80:1 | the Gospel, went to him. He also assembled others who were 05Parp4    80:2 | He promised the kingdom to one 05Parp4    80:2 | others whatever they needed. Thus he formed a brigade from the 05Parp4    80:3 | anything and were in danger, he quit the land of Iberia 05Parp4    80:7 | also, as a learned individual he was informed about all of 05Parp4    80:8 | fortress-keeper many times, and he ordered that the Kamsarakans hear 05Parp4    80:8 | Kamsarakans hear about this often. He sent to them frequently, saying 05Parp4    80:14 | acceptable to the just God, He will save us from oppression 05Parp4    80:15 | Vahan Mamikonean, to do anything he ordered. They also encouraged others 05Parp4    81:0 | unawares, and kill him. But he was able to accomplish nothing 05Parp4    81:9 | Nerseh Kamsarakan’s dayeakordi saw this he got angry at the Mamikonean 05Parp4    81:12 | Xurs’ words and the deed he had bravely done, the sepuh 05Parp4    81:14 | heard of such successful work he glorified God that without his 05Parp4    81:15 | And he went to the border of 05Parp4    81:15 | previous plan. Reaching the place, he encamped at the village called 05Parp4    82:0 | Duin was united around him, he showed us (an example of 05Parp4    82:2 | few men that every day he depletes and defeats our brigade 05Parp4    82:3 | can get aid elsewhere, for he will reduce us to but 05Parp4    82:4 | we will slow down and he will exhaust us and embarrass 05Parp4    82:6 | by God’s care, like Saul, ( he realized that) he could kill 05Parp4    82:6 | like Saul, (he realized that) he could kill him wherever he 05Parp4    82:6 | he could kill him wherever he wanted 05Parp4    82:7 | Shapuh, heard all these words, he did not permit (Gdihon) or 05Parp4    82:7 | troops); rather, in a rage, he himself went after (Vahan). He 05Parp4    82:7 | he himself went after (Vahan). He encamped in a certain spot 05Parp4    82:7 | a certain spot near where he wanted to go, thinking to 05Parp4    82:8 | of fear, willingly, as though he were a king set up 05Parp4    82:8 | was with him in everything he did, wherever that might be 05Parp4    82:9 | He took his troops and the 05Parp4    82:11 | courage. After a few days he died of his wounds and 05Parp4    83:1 | At daybreak he went and encamped at Shte’ 05Parp4    83:3 | of troops against them. Although he saw that his brigade at 05Parp4    83:3 | the enemy’s mighty force, nonetheless, he overlooked nothing. Giving the order 05Parp4    83:3 | overlooked nothing. Giving the order, he quickly assembled however many men 05Parp4    83:3 | quickly assembled however many men he had. Then, like a lion 05Parp4    83:3 | had. Then, like a lion, he bellowed 05Parp4    83:4 | miss the mark twice. If he hits the mark both times 05Parp4    83:9 | had expressed all these sentiments, he divided the troops he had 05Parp4    83:9 | sentiments, he divided the troops he had and entrusted them to 05Parp4    83:9 | of the military commanders whom he considered able and capable 05Parp4    83:10 | While he was still organizing the attack 05Parp4    83:12 | take care”! In other words, ( he thought) it was possible to 05Parp4    83:16 | at Shapuh’s summons, and arising, he quickly went to where the 05Parp4    83:17 | right-hand of the Almighty. He plunged into the entire Iranian 05Parp4    83:18 | out on the other side. He and the men with him 05Parp4    83:19 | up the ghost, without confessing. He had at one time immodestly 05Parp4    83:21 | But when he did not come to his 05Parp4    83:21 | respond to the divine inquiry, he received his shameful end, in 05Parp4    83:23 | with the power of God), he then went unconcernedly as though 05Parp4    83:23 | then went unconcernedly as though he were a wing of the 05Parp4    84:2 | of (his) adversary Vahan Mamikonean, he recalled the irresistible strength (of 05Parp4    84:2 | knowing what to do. For he note 05Parp4    84:3 | the men here with me. He attacked three and four thousand 05Parp4    84:4 | in accordance with (Vahan’s) brilliance, he will send to the nearby 05Parp4    84:7 | the brigade or by himself, he will try to take charge 05Parp4    85:0 | this over. The next day he went to the district of 05Parp4    85:1 | While he was tormented by fearful thoughts 05Parp4    85:2 | the land of the Aryans, he sank into a state of 05Parp4    85:3 | He remained speechless for a while 05Parp4    85:4 | After many hours he awoke as though from being 05Parp4    85:7 | massing troops from all sides, he wanted to go against the 05Parp4    85:7 | to go against the Hepthalites. He kept his thoughts to himself 05Parp4    85:7 | in the brigade knew that he wanted to fight the Hepthalites 05Parp4    85:9 | For from such a deed he personally and the land of 05Parp4    85:10 | listen to anyone nor did he sense or remember his disgraces 05Parp4    85:10 | from earlier enemies—disgraces which he personally and all the Aryans 05Parp4    85:11 | of Aryans and non-Aryans, he went against them. (The men 05Parp4    85:14 | words, they said to Peroz: ’He is right; we are fighting 05Parp4    85:16 | would fill the trench which he dug to destroy himself and 05Parp4    86:0 | these words from the emissary, he replied: “I and the brigade 05Parp4    86:2 | times. For ten days ago, he attacked not only this multitude 05Parp4    86:6 | to the fortress-keeper whom he repeatedly ordered to keep them 05Parp4    86:7 | of the land of Armenia. He knew each as proper and 05Parp4    86:8 | Then he reached the city of Vagharshapat 05Parp4    86:8 | loyal, oath-keeping Armenian naxarars. He conducted the usual oaths and 05Parp4    87:0 | destruction of the Iranian multitude, he was horrified and wracked with 05Parp4    87:1 | When he reached the court, the remnants 05Parp4    87:4 | Whatever he wanted to do, he did 05Parp4    87:4 | Whatever he wanted to do, he did through force alone—as 05Parp4    87:4 | did through force alone—as he wished, with no regard for 05Parp4    88:3 | to interrogate him and listen, he himself will tell you 05Parp4    88:4 | and strength, and how has he been able to resist the 05Parp4    88:9 | are unbelievable. For how could he fearlessly resist in battle with 05Parp4    88:19 | He was instructed by the king 05Parp4    88:20 | when you send to Vahan he will give you friendly pretexts 05Parp4    88:21 | shrewd. For to the present he and those with him have 05Parp4    88:22 | thing, since the work which he and those with him made 05Parp4    89:0 | at the village named Nuarsak. He sent as messengers to Vahan 05Parp4    89:2 | the words of this message, he assembled a brigade of all 05Parp4    89:3 | folk listen to Nixor’s message, he informed the Iranian emissaries that 05Parp4    89:3 | informed the Iranian emissaries that he would reply to them on 05Parp4    90:0 | and to Mihr-Vshnasp Chuarshac’i, he sent them away 05Parp4    90:3 | Mamikonean, with a happy heart he rejoiced delightedly 05Parp4    90:4 | He ordered a diner and received 05Parp4    90:7 | the words of Vahan Mamikonean, he rejoiced in front of all 05Parp4    90:7 | guiltless in all the things he planned and did. For he 05Parp4    90:7 | he planned and did.

With much urging, he charged them to bring Vahan 05Parp4    90:14 | delay. Then, biding them farewell, he dispatched them affectionately 05Parp4    90:19 | the messengers of all that he had sent him and that 05Parp4    90:20 | He also learned from the messengers 05Parp4    91:1 | the village named Eghind, where he and all the brigades with 05Parp4    91:1 | the brigades with him stopped.

Having 06Khor1    12:23 | Having lived a few years, he died 06Khor1    12:24 | to live with his sons, he himself went around the other 06Khor1    12:25 | He settled the shore of the 06Khor1    12:25 | lake and left there inhabitants. He called the mountain Geḷ after 06Khor1    12:26 | Here he begat his son Sisak, a 06Khor1    12:27 | To him he gave the greatest part of 06Khor1    12:27 | servants many in number, and he fixed the borders of his 06Khor1    12:28 | Here Sisak dwelt, and he filled the confines of his 06Khor1    12:28 | of his habitation with buildings.

And afterward they began, he says, to multiply and fill 06Khor1    12:38 | is told of Aram that he performed in battle many heroic 06Khor1    12:38 | many heroic deeds and that he extended the borders of Armenia 06Khor1    13:3 | He was an industrious and patriotic 06Khor1    13:3 | the same historian shows, and he thought it better to die 06Khor1    13:5 | On the borders of Armenia he met the young Medes who 06Khor1    13:6 | incursions like the Kushans, and he controlled them for two years 06Khor1    13:7 | and slaughtered his whole host. He captured this same Niwk’ar called 06Khor1    13:7 | a tower of the wall he pierced his forehead with an 06Khor1    13:7 | as the mountain called Zarasp he subjected to tribute until the 06Khor1    13:8 | Ninos became king in Nineveh he kept in his mind a 06Khor1    13:8 | stories. And for long years he planned to take vengeance, to 06Khor1    13:9 | might fall into danger as he planned such actions made him 06Khor1    13:9 | him conceal his evil wickedness. He bade him, Aram to hold 06Khor1    14:3 | the same force to Assyria. He found there a certain Barsham 06Khor1    14:3 | infantry and five thousand cavalry. He was crushing the whole region 06Khor1    14:8 | infantry and two thousand cavalry, he reached Cappadocia and a place 06Khor1    14:9 | And because he had subdued the east and 06Khor1    14:9 | of the house of Cadmos, he had no further fear of 06Khor1    14:10 | So as he was spending a long time 06Khor1    14:12 | He left over the country a 06Khor1    14:13 | Now he ordered the inhabitants of the 06Khor1    14:15 | far as his own border he filled with inhabitants many uninhabited 06Khor1    14:18 | Thus he became so powerful and famous 06Khor1    14:21 | first, because he was prior to the time 06Khor1    14:23 | and self-opinionated and since he wished to show himself alone 06Khor1    14:23 | of all valor and virtue, he ordered many books and stories 06Khor1    14:25 | years begat Ara, after which he lived many more years and 06Khor1    15:4 | the promise of gifts that he come to her in Nineveh 06Khor1    15:12 | to lick his wounds, and he will be restored to life 06Khor1    15:18 | He lived some years and begat 06Khor1    16:9 | to make the attempt, yet he would be unable to pluck 06Khor1    16:9 | sling, no matter how hard he might try 06Khor1    17:11 | and killed his mother, and he himself ruled over Assyria and 06Khor1    18:2 | to laugh at me. For he speaks among many other things 06Khor1    18:2 | Semiramis’ war against Zoroaster, which he says Semiramis won, and then 06Khor1    18:3 | more reliable than this, for he writes systematically and reveals the 06Khor1    20:10 | When he slaughtered the Canaanites, they fled 06Khor1    20:63 | He is the son of our 06Khor1    20:74 | Of him they say that he lived in the time of 06Khor1    20:74 | time of Belok’os and that he caused senseless riots and perished 06Khor1    20:86 | He was sent by Teutamos to 06Khor1    21:2 | passion for the handsome Ara; he was twelve years old at 06Khor1    21:2 | They say of him that he died in the war against 06Khor1    21:5 | For he had been dedicated to the 06Khor1    21:6 | court. But helped by friends, he gained control over part of 06Khor1    22:1 | first to reign in Armenia; He helped Varhak the Mede to 06Khor1    22:3 | in the time of Sardanapaḷos. He gave no little help to 06Khor1    22:6 | by his generosity and liberality he gained friends among the brave 06Khor1    22:7 | He attracted to himself our valiant 06Khor1    22:8 | he also gathered many groups of 06Khor1    22:8 | lance, bow, and sword. Thus, he seized the kingdom for himself 06Khor1    22:9 | others as governors for Assyria, he transferred the royal capital to 06Khor1    23:7 | Jeremiah in his speech when he was urging war against Babylon 06Khor1    23:7 | urging war against Babylon: “Command,” he said, “the realm of Ayrarat 06Khor1    23:20 | He was called Hracheay because of 06Khor1    23:22 | And they say that he asked Nebuchadnezzar for one of 06Khor1    25:1 | Tigran, what sort of man he was in everything 06Khor1    25:3 | for he, of all our kings, was 06Khor1    25:4 | He assisted Cyrus in overthrowing the 06Khor1    25:4 | dominion of the Medes, and he brought the Greeks into subjection 06Khor1    25:5 | He extended the borders of our 06Khor1    25:5 | their extreme limits in antiquity. He was envied by all who 06Khor1    25:5 | lived in his time, while he and his epoch were admired 06Khor1    25:7 | He was supreme among men and 06Khor1    25:7 | and by showing his valor he glorified our nation. Those who 06Khor1    25:7 | had been under a yoke he put in a position to 06Khor1    25:7 | and demand tribute from many. He multiplied the stores of gold 06Khor1    25:10 | bringer of peace and prosperity, he fattened everyone with oil and 06Khor1    25:11 | by Tigran, son of Eruand. He was blond with grey-flecked 06Khor1    25:11 | the pleasures of the flesh; he was wise and eloquent and 06Khor1    25:13 | He was just and equal in 06Khor1    25:13 | equal in every judgment, and he weighed all the circumstances of 06Khor1    25:14 | He did not envy the noble 06Khor1    25:14 | envy the noble nor did he despise the humble, but over 06Khor1    25:14 | humble, but over all alike he spread the mantle of his 06Khor1    25:15 | At first, he was allied with Azhdahak, who 06Khor1    25:17 | For he Tigran was an object of 06Khor1    26:2 | sleep fled from Azhdahak when he thought of this, and he 06Khor1    26:2 | he thought of this, and he unceasingly asked his counselors about 06Khor1    26:2 | this matter: “In what way,” he said, “will we be able 06Khor1    26:3 | While he was troubled with these thoughts 06Khor1    26:3 | was troubled with these thoughts, he had a vision of the 06Khor1    26:3 | through a prophetic dream, which he Mar Abas Catina relates as 06Khor1    27:3 | which in his waking hours he had never seen with his 06Khor1    27:4 | Awaking with a start he did not wait according to 06Khor1    27:4 | still several hours of night, he summoned his counselors. With a 06Khor1    27:4 | gaze turned to the ground, he sighed from the depths of 06Khor1    27:5 | counselors asked him the reason, he delayed his response for some 06Khor1    27:5 | At last with a groan he began to reveal all the 06Khor1    27:6 | My friends,” he said, “it happened to me 06Khor1    27:11 | with eagle’s wings, bearing down; he was already close by, intending 06Khor1    27:18 | useful suggestions from his counselors he honored them with his gratitude 06Khor1    28:2 | things from you, my friends,” he said. “I shall now tell 06Khor1    28:8 | To one of his counselors he gave a great sum of 06Khor1    29:8 | He did not yet know of 06Khor1    29:9 | of his wives, though underneath he was spinning an evil web 06Khor1    30:2 | After this he says that when Azhdahak had 06Khor1    30:2 | had established Tigranuhi as queen he did nothing in his kingdom 06Khor1    30:2 | will; but at her word he regulated everything and ordered every 06Khor1    30:3 | arranged everything in this manner, he gently began to proffer her 06Khor1    30:3 | words: “Do you not know,” he said, “that your brother Tigran 06Khor1    30:6 | In this plot he hid the intended death of 06Khor1    30:12 | He marched with all his host 06Khor1    30:15 | He made efforts to arrange the 06Khor1    30:17 | beauty of his frame, for he was vigorous and adept in 06Khor1    30:17 | in everything, and in strength he had no equal 06Khor1    30:18 | was joined, with his lance he split Azhdahak’s iron armor like 06Khor1    30:18 | right through him, and as he drew it back again, he 06Khor1    30:18 | he drew it back again, he brought out with his weapon 06Khor1    31:1 | That he sent his sister Tigranuhi to 06Khor1    31:2 | that after these successful events he sent his sister Tigranuhi with 06Khor1    31:2 | his own name, Tigranakert. And he ordered those districts to be 06Khor1    31:3 | And he says that the nobility of 06Khor1    31:4 | than ten thousand in number, he settled from the eastern flank 06Khor1    31:5 | But the aforementioned Queen Anoysh he settled with her sons on 06Khor1    31:7 | He gave servants to Anoysh from 06Khor1    31:10 | when Artashat was founded; so, he crossed over and built Marakert 06Khor1    32:7 | headed young boy ran out. He had fire for hair, and 06Khor1    32:9 | say in their song that he fought with dragons and overcame 06Khor1    32:10 | But they said that he was divinized, and setting up 06Khor1    32:12 | He begat Aṙavan, he Nerseh, and 06Khor1    32:12 | He begat Aṙavan, he Nerseh, and he Zareh; from 06Khor1    32:12 | begat Aṙavan, he Nerseh, and he Zareh; from the last’s descendants 06Khor1    32:13 | of Zareh’s sons was Armog; he begat Bagam, he Vahan, he 06Khor1    32:13 | was Armog; he begat Bagam, he Vahan, he Vahē 06Khor1    32:13 | he begat Bagam, he Vahan, he Vahē 06Khor1    33:4 | For although He who created everything was able 06Khor1    33:4 | twinkling of an eye, yet He did not so act but 06Khor1    34:16 | Biurasp Azhdahak was their ancestor; he lived in the time of 06Khor1    34:19 | Subject to Nimrod, he held the chiefdom of his 06Khor1    34:19 | as by force and cunning. He wished to show everyone a 06Khor1    34:19 | of life in common, and he said that people should not 06Khor1    34:20 | open, both word and deed: he had no hidden thoughts, but 06Khor1    34:20 | the secrets of his heart he brought out into the open 06Khor1    34:21 | He allowed his friends to come 06Khor1    34:23 | Now because he was strong in astrology, he 06Khor1    34:23 | he was strong in astrology, he was anxious to teach perfect 06Khor1    34:23 | sake of deceiving the majority he had the habit of doing 06Khor1    34:24 | For such teaching he resorted to a bitter stratagem 06Khor1    34:25 | his will. So therefore, when he sought a present from him 06Khor1    34:25 | sought a present from him, he kissed his shoulders 06Khor1    34:27 | he began to sacrifice in-numerable 06Khor1    34:27 | together, they expelled him, and he fled to the district of 06Khor2    1:2 | and his brother Vaḷarshak, whom he made king of our nation 06Khor2    1:5 | called that of the Macedonians, he himself died 06Khor2    1:6 | all the others. From there he subjected the Parthians in a 06Khor2    1:7 | He ruled for thirty-one years 06Khor2    2:3 | He made very fierce wars and 06Khor2    2:4 | and he also expelled the dominion of 06Khor2    2:5 | He heard that the Romans controlled 06Khor2    2:6 | Sending ambassadors he sought an alliance, that they 06Khor2    2:6 | give assistance to the Macedonians.

Therefore he, Smbat, wandered for a long 06Khor2    37:14 | of shepherds and herdsmen until he found an opportunity to pass 06Khor2    37:15 | and well known from before, he was greatly honored among the 06Khor2    38:3 | While awake he thought continually of that, and 06Khor2    38:3 | that, and even in sleep he saw terrible dreams about the 06Khor2    38:4 | means of messengers and offerings, he sought to placate the Persian 06Khor2    38:4 | the Persian king so that he would surrender Artashēs, saying: “Why 06Khor2    38:5 | He is not the son of 06Khor2    38:6 | Likewise he sent many times to Smbat 06Khor2    38:7 | He received in reply unpleasing words 06Khor2    38:9 | and ceded Mesopotamia to them, he was undisturbed during the reigns 06Khor2    39:4 | He fortified the hill, and inside 06Khor2    39:4 | the wall at many places he cut down the rock to 06Khor2    39:5 | The central fortress he strengthened with high walls and 06Khor2    39:5 | In these, between the steps, he set hidden traps to catch 06Khor2    40:1 | How he built Bagaran, the city of 06Khor2    40:2 | had built his own city he transferred there everything from Armavir 06Khor2    40:2 | Armavir except the idols, which he did not think profitable to 06Khor2    40:2 | north, above the River Akhurean, he built a smaller city similar 06Khor2    40:2 | Bagaran, that is, in it he had set up the complex 06Khor2    40:2 | complex of the altars, and he transferred there all the idols 06Khor2    40:3 | And having built temples he appointed his own brother Eruaz 06Khor2    41:2 | He also planted a great forest 06Khor2    41:3 | And he called the forest Genesis 06Khor2    42:3 | He filled the center of the 06Khor2    42:10 | of Eruand that through magic he had the evil eye. So 06Khor2    42:11 | and a fable or else he had some demonic power in 06Khor2    42:11 | power in himself so that he could harm those he wished 06Khor2    42:11 | that he could harm those he wished in this fashion by 06Khor2    43:2 | him as a gift whatever he might ask 06Khor2    44:3 | When Eruand heard this, he left there many of the 06Khor2    44:3 | to guard the region, and he himself went to his own 06Khor2    44:6 | also to all the princes he gave presents and honors, and 06Khor2    44:6 | and to all the troops he gave liberal donatives 06Khor2    45:5 | them.

Therefore, he entrusted him with the command 06Khor2    82:7 | For the same reason he appointed Tachat, his brother-in 06Khor2    82:8 | father-in-law Artavazd and he the king first that Gregory 06Khor2    82:8 | the sons of Gregory, as he had learned about them when 06Khor2    82:10 | Elianan in the Old Testament [cf. 2 Kings 23; Chron. 11:11], he raised his spear over an 06Khor2    82:12 | But he rose up and attacked on 06Khor2    82:12 | horse of one of them, he boldly mounted 06Khor2    82:13 | on foot, with his sword he scattered the ranks of elephants 06Khor2    82:14 | were his heroic deeds while he remained in Persia and Assyria 06Khor2    83:1 | Constantine’s to Maximina, and how he was converted 06Khor2    83:2 | Trdat arrived in our land he sent General Smbat, the father 06Khor2    83:3 | He ordered her to be inscribed 06Khor2    83:8 | The latter, before he became emperor and while he 06Khor2    83:8 | he became emperor and while he was still Caesar, was defeated 06Khor2    83:8 | battle; when in great distress he had fallen asleep, there appeared 06Khor2    83:8 | inscription saying: “By this conquer.” He made this his emblem, and 06Khor2    83:9 | Maximina, the daughter of Diocletian, he raised persecutions against the church 06Khor2    83:9 | martyrs, because of his presumption he himself was afflicted with elephantine 06Khor2    83:10 | were unable to heal. Therefore, he sent to Trdat asking him 06Khor2    83:12 | But when he heard the crying of the 06Khor2    83:12 | the wailing of their mothers, he had pity and spared them 06Khor2    83:13 | Therefore he received his recompense from God 06Khor2    83:13 | from God: in a vision he received a command from the 06Khor2    83:13 | Seraption. Being instructed by him he was converted, and then God 06Khor2    84:2 | peoples to advance on Armenia, he appointed a time for his 06Khor2    84:4 | arrived at the appointed time, he marched against the northern peoples 06Khor2    84:5 | which was called Oḷakan, where he had as refuge the inhabitants 06Khor2    84:5 | called Sim. Opposing the king, he threw the land into confusion 06Khor2    84:5 | the vicinity of the mountain he did not allow people to 06Khor2    84:9 | king. And on setting out he secretly sent men on foot 06Khor2    84:9 | Albania. “The danger is great,” he said, “for King Trdat; therefore 06Khor2    84:9 | said, “for King Trdat; therefore, he went to the regions of 06Khor2    84:10 | Sḷkuni family greatly rejoiced, and he received him with a sworn 06Khor2    84:10 | with a sworn oath. But he did not allow him into 06Khor2    84:10 | him into the fortress until he might see how he would 06Khor2    84:10 | until he might see how he would keep faith with the 06Khor2    84:11 | rebel and persuaded him that he was truly a sincere ally 06Khor2    84:11 | truly a sincere ally until he ordered him freely to enter 06Khor2    84:12 | promises of fidelity, one day he persuaded the prince of the 06Khor2    84:12 | wild beasts. During the hunt he shot an arrow into the 06Khor2    84:13 | the gate of the fortress, he seized the castle and imprisoned 06Khor2    84:14 | He also decided to destroy the 06Khor2    84:14 | family of the Sḷkuni, and he slaughtered them all. But two 06Khor2    84:15 | news, wrote an edict that he was to have authority over 06Khor2    84:15 | over all the lands that he had promised, and he made 06Khor2    84:15 | that he had promised, and he made him a prince in 06Khor2    84:16 | But he ordered the Sḷkunik’ who remained 06Khor2    85:1 | war in Albania, in which he cut the king of the 06Khor2    85:2 | When the two sides joined, he cut the host of the 06Khor2    85:4 | forcefully throwing it from behind, he skillfully caught him on the 06Khor2    85:4 | and the right armpit, for he, Trdat had raised his arm 06Khor2    85:4 | strike someone with his sword; he was, however, wearing chain armor 06Khor2    85:5 | And because he was unable to dislodge the 06Khor2    85:5 | giant Trdat with his hand, he grasped his horse’s chest. The 06Khor2    85:5 | himself with a violent pull. He agilely wielded his two-edged 06Khor2    85:8 | Thus he brought together all the north 06Khor2    85:8 | attack Shapuh, son of Artashir. He made four of his men 06Khor2    85:8 | prince of the Georgians, whom he trusted because of his belief 06Khor2    86:3 | you perform these miracles?” and he learned of the preaching of 06Khor2    86:3 | gospel. Hearing it with pleasure he repeated it to his nobles 06Khor2    86:4 | Nunē. Astonished at these things he informed blessed Nunē, from whom 06Khor2    86:4 | informed blessed Nunē, from whom he learned about everything more precisely 06Khor2    86:5 | Mihran went out to hunt. He went astray in the crags 06Khor2    86:5 | obscured - according to the saying: “ He summons the mist with his 06Khor2    86:5 | with his voice” [Job 38:34] and again: “ He darkens the day into night 06Khor2    86:6 | eternal light. In his fear he remembered what he had heard 06Khor2    86:6 | his fear he remembered what he had heard about Trdat: that 06Khor2    86:6 | heard about Trdat: that when he had set out intending to 06Khor2    86:6 | Lord had fallen upon him. He reckoned that something similar would 06Khor2    86:7 | Overcome with great fear, he begged in prayer that the 06Khor2    86:7 | might become light and that he might return in peace, and 06Khor2    86:7 | might return in peace, and he promised to worship Nunē’s God 06Khor2    86:7 | This was granted him, and he fulfilled his promise 06Khor2    86:8 | to Saint Gregory, asking what he might command her to do 06Khor2    86:9 | destroy the idols, just as he had done himself, and to 06Khor2    86:10 | if anyone wished to sacrifice, he crossed the river and sacrificed 06Khor2    87:2 | But Trdat, although he had gained the victory, nonetheless 06Khor2    87:6 | When he reached puberty, he was established 06Khor2    87:6 | When he reached puberty, he was established by Artashir in 06Khor2    87:6 | those barbarous nations, though deceitfully he planned to cast him into 06Khor2    87:7 | He was a valiant man, wonderfully 06Khor2    87:7 | adept at war; and when he defeated Vzurk, who was called 06Khor2    87:7 | his daughter in marriage. Similarly, he took many wives from the 06Khor2    87:7 | Artashir, and having many sons he grew powerful and held those 06Khor2    87:8 | Although he was esteemed by Artashir he 06Khor2    87:8 | he was esteemed by Artashir he would not see him; and 06Khor2    87:8 | him; and on Artashir’s death he did not submit to his 06Khor2    87:8 | many battles defeated him. But he was poisoned by Shapuh’s friends 06Khor2    87:11 | one of his intrepid assaults he was struck by someone on 06Khor2    87:11 | his skull was removed. Although he was cured by medicines, the 06Khor2    87:11 | incomplete, and for this reason he was called Kamsar 06Khor2    87:12 | second in command and governors, he returned to Armenia, taking with 06Khor2    87:13 | Saint Constantine did, and then he sent his mother Helen to 06Khor2    88:4 | For first he was found to be doing 06Khor2    88:5 | He raised persecutions against the church 06Khor2    88:5 | secret treachery against Constantine. Likewise, he brought all sorts of evil 06Khor2    88:5 | blessed Glaphyra. For this reason, he killed Saint Basil, the bishop 06Khor2    88:6 | the plot was revealed and he knew that Constantine would not 06Khor2    88:6 | not remain silent about it, he gathered an army to oppose 06Khor2    88:7 | grown cold in his love, he feared him as a real 06Khor2    88:7 | as a real enemy, for he knew that every impious one 06Khor2    88:8 | and his son-in-law, he had him taken to Gaul 06Khor2    88:8 | sent to the mines that he might pray to God, against 06Khor2    88:8 | pray to God, against whom he had sinned, that perchance He 06Khor2    88:8 | he had sinned, that perchance He be long suffering toward him 06Khor2    88:9 | He himself with his sons showed 06Khor2    88:9 | Roman empire was one; and he celebrated his twentieth anniversary in 06Khor2    88:10 | He reigned from the fourth year 06Khor2    88:11 | unnecessary to return to Rome, he moved to Byzantium and there 06Khor2    88:11 | so in a prophetic dream. He constructed there very splendid buildings 06Khor2    88:12 | conqueror Alexander of Macedon when he prepared there for war against 06Khor2    88:12 | called Strategion - for in it he stored the war materiel 06Khor2    88:14 | He also built the theater, both 06Khor2    88:16 | They also say that he secretly took from Rome the 06Khor2    88:16 | Forum under the column that he himself had erected 06Khor2    89:2 | created and younger, and that he came into existence later. This 06Khor2    89:2 | Arius suffered the death that he merited in the latrines 06Khor2    89:5 | taking Saint Gregory with him he should go to the council 06Khor2    89:6 | because he had heard of the alliance 06Khor2    89:7 | And being suspicious that he might break the treaty according 06Khor2    89:7 | to the custom of pagans, he therefore did not leave the 06Khor2    89:8 | Gregory agree to go lest he be given even more honor 06Khor2    89:10 | On his way he met Leontius the Great at 06Khor2    89:10 | Great at the moment when he was baptizing Gregory, the father 06Khor2    90:6 | But he did not survive more than 06Khor2    90:8 | He also added other gifts, the 06Khor2    90:8 | the great valley, only that he might banish from his mind 06Khor2    90:8 | land called Pahlav so that he might keep faith unswervingly 06Khor2    90:11 | Inside, for his sister Khosrovidukht, he built a shaded residence with 06Khor2    90:11 | carvings in high relief. And he composed in her memory an 06Khor2    91:3 | speak to God without distraction, he left his own son Aristakes 06Khor2    91:6 | But although he lived there, nevertheless from time 06Khor2    91:6 | nevertheless from time to time he revealed himself and traveled about 06Khor2    91:8 | of the same, from when he no longer appeared to anyone 06Khor2    91:10 | Truly he was a spiritual sword, according 06Khor2    91:11 | in the province of Tsop’k’, he slew him by the sword 06Khor2    91:15 | same place without knowing who he was 06Khor2    91:19 | He, Gregory, as is clear to 06Khor2    91:19 | eastern regions of our land he arose for us as a 06Khor2    91:20 | He increased the number of the 06Khor2    92:3 | persuasive or forceful words, for he never interrupted his efforts on 06Khor2    92:6 | After his conversion to Christ he shone out with every virtue 06Khor2    92:6 | for the cause of Christ. He chided and urged the greatest 06Khor2    92:10 | according to his will if he would rule the kingdom 06Khor2    92:19 | and with his whole being he will say: “Lord, who is 06Khor2    92:27 | For he exercises no effort concerning what 06Khor2    92:27 | exercises no effort concerning what he speaks, nor does he speak 06Khor2    92:27 | what he speaks, nor does he speak modestly and gently as 06Khor2    92:27 | speak modestly and gently as he was instructed, “lest anyone outside 06Khor2    92:32 | the light of his grace. He reigned fifty-six years 06Khor3    2:3 | of his brother Aristakēs was. He mourned over this land of 06Khor3    3:5 | Although he thought the matter uncanonical, considering 06Khor3    3:5 | at twelve years of age [cf. 3 Kings 2:12], he sent him with great confidence 06Khor3    3:6 | When he arrived, he was a model 06Khor3    3:6 | When he arrived, he was a model of integrity 06Khor3    3:6 | virtues of his fathers. But he was superior to them by 06Khor3    4:3 | same plan for himself. Although he did not wish to reign 06Khor3    4:3 | not wish to reign because he was not an Arsacid, nonetheless 06Khor3    4:3 | was not an Arsacid, nonetheless he wished to be independent. Abandoning 06Khor3    4:3 | his alliance with the Armenians, he assisted Ormizd, king of Persia 06Khor3    6:2 | When Antiochus arrived, he made Khosrov king and appointed 06Khor3    6:4 | And he divided the troops and gave 06Khor3    6:5 | He sent Manachihr with the southern 06Khor3    6:5 | and the army of Galatia he sent to the regions of 06Khor3    6:6 | He himself, leaving behind King Khosrov 06Khor3    6:6 | leaving behind King Khosrov - for he was small of person and 06Khor3    6:8 | not submitted to peaceful obedience, he ordered the lands of the 06Khor3    6:8 | to be subjected to pillage. He himself collected the tribute and 06Khor3    7:2 | force and the Cilician army, he offered battle to Bakur the 06Khor3    7:2 | had come to his aid. He captured Bakur’s son Heshay and 06Khor3    7:2 | in iron bonds to Khosrov. He unmercifully condemned to the sword 06Khor3    7:2 | but also the common peasants. He took many captives from the 06Khor3    7:4 | the inhabitants of the province he ordered the eight deacons, who 06Khor3    7:5 | the Great heard of this he returned to his own see 06Khor3    7:6 | the whole province was visible, he cursed Manachihr and his province 06Khor3    8:2 | became king. Not only did he give no evidence of prowess 06Khor3    8:2 | prowess like his father’s, but he did not even make any 06Khor3    8:2 | Persian king to his wishes, he made peace with him, considering 06Khor3    8:2 | rule over the territories that he retained and having absolutely no 06Khor3    8:3 | Although he was small in body, yet 06Khor3    8:3 | was small in body, yet he was not so small as 06Khor3    8:4 | for valor and good repute; he occupied himself with pleasure and 06Khor3    8:4 | was for this reason that he planted the forest beside the 06Khor3    8:5 | He also transferred the court to 06Khor3    9:8 | He did not fail in his 06Khor3    9:8 | not fail in his request: he struck the fearsome giant from 06Khor3    9:10 | to the land of Tsop’k’ he was a faithful and unjealous 06Khor3    9:11 | of the battle, Awshakan, where he had spontaneously and boldly proved 06Khor3    9:12 | And in Mihran’s stead he appointed over the army Garjoyl 06Khor3    10:2 | king, was assisting his enemies, he broke the peace he had 06Khor3    10:2 | enemies, he broke the peace he had with him and withheld 06Khor3    10:2 | bringing up the Greek army he opposed the Persian king 06Khor3    10:3 | But he lived not much longer before 06Khor3    10:3 | having reigned for nine years. He was taken and buried in 06Khor3    10:5 | Then he took Tiran, Khosrov’s son, and 06Khor3    10:5 | the emperor to ask that he might make him king of 06Khor3    10:6 | the Persian king Shapuh, when he heard of Khosrov’s death and 06Khor3    10:6 | his brother Nerseh, as if he intended to make him king 06Khor3    10:6 | him king of Armenia. And he sent them to our country 06Khor3    10:6 | them to our country since he considered it to be leaderless 06Khor3    11:3 | After his arrival he peacefully gained control of our 06Khor3    11:3 | special tribute to the Persians, he lived in tranquility like his 06Khor3    11:3 | bravery or valor. Nor did he follow his father’s virtue, but 06Khor3    11:3 | father’s virtue, but in secret he abandoned all piety, although he 06Khor3    11:3 | he abandoned all piety, although he was unable to serve vice 06Khor3    11:4 | completed fifteen years of episcopate, he departed from this world in 06Khor3    11:5 | And at the latter’s orders he was taken and buried in 06Khor3    11:5 | village of T’ordan, as if he had seen with a prophetic 06Khor3    11:6 | the fourth year of Tiran; he was a true follower of 06Khor3    12:2 | even supporting and assisting him: he saved him from an attack 06Khor3    12:3 | nations into alliance, and then he attacked the Mediterranean lands and 06Khor3    12:5 | Persia, after a long illness he died in the city of 06Khor3    13:2 | became emperor of the Greeks. He denied God, worshipped idols, raised 06Khor3    13:2 | extinguish the Christian faith. However, he did not induce belief by 06Khor3    13:3 | armed him against the Persians, he crossed Cilicia and reached Mesopotamia 06Khor3    13:4 | dispersed it. Offering his services, he brought the impious Julian across 06Khor3    13:4 | a host of cavalry, and he was very greatly honored by 06Khor3    13:5 | He, Tiran requested that he, Julian 06Khor3    13:5 | He, Tiran requested that he, Julian not take him with 06Khor3    13:5 | Persia on the grounds that he was unable to ride. Julian 06Khor3    13:7 | These Julian accepted, and he immediately sent them to Byzantium 06Khor3    13:7 | sent them to Byzantium. Tiran, he dispatched to his own country 06Khor3    13:7 | to his own country, and he gave him his own image 06Khor3    13:7 | of various demons with him. He ordered it to be set 06Khor3    14:2 | reached the province of Tsop’k’, he wished to set up the 06Khor3    14:4 | Tiran paid no heed because he feared Julian and thought that 06Khor3    14:4 | feared Julian and thought that he would be put to death 06Khor3    14:4 | more inflamed at the vexation he suffered from Saint Yusik by 06Khor3    14:4 | continual reprimands at his transgressions, he ordered him to be beaten 06Khor3    14:4 | thongs of ox hide, until he gave up the ghost under 06Khor3    14:7 | in the village of T’ordan. He had been in the episcopate 06Khor3    15:3 | When he heard these reports he said 06Khor3    15:3 | When he heard these reports he said to his troops: “Let 06Khor3    15:4 | Having persuaded his troops, he returned and fortified himself in 06Khor3    15:4 | fortified himself in Tmorik’ until he could see what the other 06Khor3    15:8 | of their free will that he led the army. And second 06Khor3    15:9 | Now, if he has not done this at 06Khor3    15:10 | When Tiran saw this, he was very frightened, and he 06Khor3    15:10 | he was very frightened, and he sent his mardpet, who was 06Khor3    16:3 | son of At’anagenēs’ called Nersēs. He was being educated in Caesarea 06Khor3    16:4 | the tenth year of Tiran. He occupied the throne for four 06Khor3    17:1 | was deceived by Shapuh when he went to his summons and 06Khor3    17:3 | with Jovian as emperor, but he died on the road and 06Khor3    17:7 | sending back the army that he took from you 06Khor3    17:8 | him crossing your country, which he was about to do. So 06Khor3    17:10 | When Tiran saw this, he lost his senses and went 06Khor3    17:11 | When Shapuh saw him he verbally stigmatized him in front 06Khor3    17:12 | So he too was deprived of the 06Khor3    18:2 | the way of his plans, he, Shapuh thought it appropriate by 06Khor3    18:2 | secure the land for himself. He also subjected the order of 06Khor3    18:3 | In place of Vahan Amatuni he appointed as commander of the 06Khor3    18:3 | and entrusting Armenia to him, he himself pursued the Greek army 06Khor3    18:3 | Greek army. Arriving in Bithynia he camped there for many months 06Khor3    18:4 | By the sea he set up a column and 06Khor3    19:3 | Greek emperor was Valentinian, and he sent a force to Anatolia 06Khor3    19:4 | Then he sent a letter to our 06Khor3    19:10 | despised the messengers. Nor did he favor Shapuh wholeheartedly, but in 06Khor3    19:10 | the songs of dancing girls. He seemed more brave and noble 06Khor3    19:10 | nobles rebelled against him until he received the reward of his 06Khor3    20:3 | returned from Byzantium to Caesarea, he came to Armenia and restored 06Khor3    20:3 | administration of his fathers, and he went even further. For the 06Khor3    20:3 | For the good order that he had seen in the land 06Khor3    20:3 | especially in the royal city, he imitated here 06Khor3    20:4 | the laity, by canonical regulation he established mercy, extirpating the root 06Khor3    20:7 | So he ordered in every province poorhouses 06Khor3    20:8 | And he set aside for them towns 06Khor3    20:9 | This he entrusted to a certain Khad 06Khor3    20:10 | He also prescribed that lodgings be 06Khor3    20:11 | He also built in the desert 06Khor3    20:11 | as their fathers and overseers he appointed Shalita and Epiphanius, and 06Khor3    20:12 | These two things he abolished from the princely families 06Khor3    21:2 | terrible against the lawless. So, he slaughtered many nobles because of 06Khor3    21:2 | because of their banditry, and he burned alive a certain Rodanus 06Khor3    21:2 | the majordomo; for three times he had commanded, but Rodanus had 06Khor3    21:2 | to a widow the property he had seized from her 06Khor3    21:3 | day arrived those messengers whom he had sent to Armenia, and 06Khor3    21:4 | And because at that moment he was in a state of 06Khor3    21:4 | a state of great anger he ordered that Trdat, his brother 06Khor3    21:5 | meet him. Begging for reconciliation, he paid in full the tribute 06Khor3    21:6 | When he arrived, he persuaded the king 06Khor3    21:6 | When he arrived, he persuaded the king to make 06Khor3    21:6 | by them the royal court. He also received the hostages at 06Khor3    21:7 | And he brought as a wife for 06Khor3    22:2 | his blinded grandfather Tiran, for he was still alive 06Khor3    22:3 | responsible for his murder. Therefore, he gave all his possessions to 06Khor3    22:4 | P’aṙandzem of the Siuni family. He celebrated the marriage royally, giving 06Khor3    22:5 | gave him their children. These he accepted and grandly equipped them 06Khor3    22:6 | to kill you so that he may reign himself in your 06Khor3    22:8 | and much treasure with which he has bribed the princes 06Khor3    22:13 | When Gnel heard this he obeyed the king’s commands and 06Khor3    22:14 | his son Arshak, for which he was secretly strangled by his 06Khor3    22:14 | chamberlains at the king’s command. He was buried in that same 06Khor3    22:14 | of his fathers. For justly he paid amends for the man 06Khor3    22:14 | by the measure with which he had measured, according to the 06Khor3    23:2 | became happy in his cups, he boasted that no other king 06Khor3    23:4 | Therefore he sent him the following letter 06Khor3    23:8 | the letter, reckoning that if he did not find that Gnel 06Khor3    23:8 | acted according to his command he would have a pretext to 06Khor3    23:8 | him on the grounds that he had begrudged the king’s pleasure 06Khor3    23:9 | But when he saw that he had never 06Khor3    23:9 | But when he saw that he had never seen such preparations 06Khor3    23:9 | such a multitude of game, he was pricked by thoughts of 06Khor3    23:9 | Gnel, as if accidentally, when he wished to shoot game, the 06Khor3    23:10 | He undertook this command and immediately 06Khor3    24:3 | Great also learned of it; he cursed Arshak and the one 06Khor3    24:3 | cause of the murder. And he went and sat in mourning 06Khor3    25:2 | and was free of war, he revealed the anger that he 06Khor3    25:2 | he revealed the anger that he bore against Arshak for paying 06Khor3    25:4 | himself for the past battles, he set out to wage war 06Khor3    25:5 | person, but alleging a pretext he sent a small force to 06Khor3    25:6 | In his anger at Tirit’ he deprived him of his rank 06Khor3    25:6 | instigation because of the hatred he had for the Greeks 06Khor3    25:10 | and to kill them wherever he caught up with them.

In his first battle he encountered some Syrian brigands in 06Khor3    40:6 | and putting them to flight he pursued them closely 06Khor3    40:7 | planks behind them. However, when he came up, he jumped over 06Khor3    40:7 | However, when he came up, he jumped over the Euphrates, surpassing 06Khor3    40:10 | Therefore, as in his youth he had steeped himself in valiant 06Khor3    40:10 | deeds, likewise during his reign he did not heed the advice 06Khor3    40:11 | So he sent messengers to Shapuh saying 06Khor3    40:11 | to Shapuh saying that if he would give him one of 06Khor3    40:11 | of his daughters to wife, he would restore to him the 06Khor3    40:13 | him to be arrested if he did not come of his 06Khor3    40:14 | Therefore, under pressure, he went of his own will 06Khor3    40:15 | an island in the Ocean. He had reigned for four years 06Khor3    40:16 | Zavēn became archbishop of Armenia; he was from the same family 06Khor3    41:3 | the mother of these youths, he sent them off with governors 06Khor3    41:6 | of Armenia for five years; he was related to Shahak and 06Khor3    42:2 | Arcadius was a deceitful man, he made overtures for peace to 06Khor3    42:2 | for peace to him since he had been defeated and beaten 06Khor3    42:5 | the imperial capital, but because he thought that it was better 06Khor3    42:8 | He received in reply from Arshak 06Khor3    42:9 | When Shapuh heard this he made a certain Khosrov from 06Khor3    42:9 | part who had followed Arshak he wrote an edict, which ran 06Khor3    43:4 | his wife continually suggested that he, Sahak had a royal insignia 06Khor3    43:7 | But when he set out, they did not 06Khor3    44:2 | chief of his own army. He also restored to him his 06Khor3    45:5 | But, having informed Arshak, he ordered a box bound with 06Khor3    45:7 | of Khosrov’s force with which he was pursuing the brigands 06Khor3    45:8 | Letting these go, he rushed on those who were 06Khor3    45:8 | cave. Putting them to flight he rescued Surēn and Vahan and 06Khor3    45:8 | Ashkhadar with the treasures, which he hastily had brought to Khosrov 06Khor3    45:9 | When Khosrov received them, he set aside part of the 06Khor3    45:9 | And on the latter’s command he gave these three choice and 06Khor3    46:4 | from entering his territory. But he was unable to move quickly 06Khor3    46:4 | to move quickly enough before he found that Arshak had crossed 06Khor3    46:9 | Arshak went to Ekeḷeats’. There he fell ill with consumption, wasted 06Khor3    46:9 | away with fever, and died. He had reigned over all of 06Khor3    47:2 | the desert”; in like manner he fled from worldly preoccupations, put 06Khor3    47:3 | He went and dwelt in the 06Khor3    47:4 | of the Arsacid kingdom, this he extirpated with the help of 06Khor3    47:7 | endured no little hardship, for he was both reader and translator 06Khor3    47:7 | if someone else read when he was not present, it was 06Khor3    47:8 | Therefore he decided to try to invent 06Khor3    47:8 | Putting himself to the task he became very worn out by 06Khor3    48:19 | When he saw this Gazavon quickly brought 06Khor3    48:19 | native princes to King Khosrov; he was favored with good fortune 06Khor3    48:21 | For he had killed his father Vardan 06Khor3    48:21 | and of his Artsruni uncles, he was unable to abandon the 06Khor3    49:2 | all the Armenian nobles, as he desired, he sent to Arcadius 06Khor3    49:2 | Armenian nobles, as he desired, he sent to Arcadius and asked 06Khor3    49:2 | sector of Armenia, promising that he would keep it prosperous and 06Khor3    49:3 | and give to the Persians, he fulfilled Khosrov’s requests 06Khor3    49:5 | He resembled his fathers in all 06Khor3    49:6 | He had sixty pupils like the 06Khor3    49:6 | accompanied him about. With them he fulfilled the canon in perpetual 06Khor3    49:6 | dwell in the desert, and he cared for our country like 06Khor3    49:7 | search for Armenian letters, and he found him even more anxious 06Khor3    50:2 | to the episcopate. Therefore, when he sent reproaches with threats, Khosrov 06Khor3    50:3 | straightaway he negotiated with Arcadius that if 06Khor3    50:3 | negotiated with Arcadius that if he would break his treaty with 06Khor3    50:3 | and give him military assistance, he would restore to him the 06Khor3    50:5 | oppose or escape from Artashir he went to him 06Khor3    50:6 | Vṙamshapuh in his place. But he did not deprive Sahak the 06Khor3    50:6 | Khosrov of their rank. Likewise, he ordered them to observe the 06Khor3    50:7 | Leaving behind a powerful force, he himself hastened back to Ctesiphon 06Khor3    50:7 | age. Taking Khosrov with him he had him imprisoned in the 06Khor3    50:8 | He also took with him Gazavon 06Khor3    50:8 | of the man’s valor, and he ordered his lands to be 06Khor3    51:2 | end to the male line. He had a daughter called Sahakanoysh 06Khor3    51:4 | But he refused to do this without 06Khor3    51:6 | He was greatly honored by him 06Khor3    51:7 | He fulfilled all his requests; first 06Khor3    51:7 | hidden in obscure places. Therefore, he begged for mercy, as at 06Khor3    51:8 | To the survivors he granted their lives and ordered 06Khor3    51:8 | to them, save only that he did not establish them in 06Khor3    51:9 | that is, the Mamikonean clan, he promoted so that they held 06Khor3    51:9 | among the Armenian nobility; and he had this entered into the 06Khor3    51:11 | And if he held the throne for many 06Khor3    51:12 | time to make another census; he ordered that everything that had 06Khor3    51:12 | of the Armenian army, which he coveted. To this purpose he 06Khor3    51:12 | he coveted. To this purpose he wrote the following edict to 06Khor3    51:21 | He kept the same friendship with 06Khor3    52:4 | He went down to arrange all 06Khor3    52:4 | had left the royal court he could find no skilled scribe 06Khor3    52:6 | and returned to Armenia, where he found all the bishops gathered 06Khor3    52:6 | informed the king of this, he told them what the monk 06Khor3    52:8 | Therefore he sent a man honored in 06Khor3    52:9 | Taking Habel with him he went to Daniel; having been 06Khor3    53:2 | no better success than before, he passed on to Edessa to 06Khor3    53:3 | Armenian, despite his great efforts he had no success, and the 06Khor3    53:4 | But he mentioned another very learned man 06Khor3    53:6 | no result in this matter, he took refuge in prayer 06Khor3    53:7 | And he saw not a dream in 06Khor3    53:8 | And not only did he have this vision, but all 06Khor3    53:9 | Arising from prayer he fashioned our alphabet with Rufinus 06Khor3    53:10 | Then straightaway he set to translating, wisely beginning 06Khor3    53:10 | the twenty-two famous books, he also translated the New Testament 06Khor3    53:10 | the New Testament into Armenian - he and his pupils John of 06Khor3    53:10 | Palin. At the same time, he had the art of writing 06Khor3    54:2 | Less, ruled in his stead. He kept the same friendship with 06Khor3    54:2 | with our king Vṙamshapuh, but he did not entrust him with 06Khor3    54:2 | held it himself through governors; he also made peace with Yazkert 06Khor3    54:3 | Vṙamshapuh and Sahak the Great he brought together selected children - intelligent 06Khor3    54:3 | established schools in every province.

With their help he created letters for that guttural 06Khor3    54:8 | priests for the royal court, he himself returned to Armenia. There 06Khor3    54:8 | himself returned to Armenia. There he found Sahak the Great engaged 06Khor3    55:4 | the throne to him Khosrov, he sent him to Armenia 06Khor3    55:5 | He, Khosrov requested Hrahat, son of 06Khor3    55:5 | live to see him since he reigned for the second time 06Khor3    55:6 | related to him, so that he might be able to seduce 06Khor3    55:6 | heathen” [Ps. 32:10], although for a time he had success 06Khor3    55:8 | and all the exiles. But he was unable to win over 06Khor3    55:11 | He replied: “You proceed, for it 06Khor3    55:12 | And looking to both sides he rode this way and that 06Khor3    55:16 | And spurring his horse he crossed the fire as if 06Khor3    55:17 | After that he knew that Shapuh would not 06Khor3    55:17 | would not remain silent, so he went over to the land 06Khor3    55:20 | He replied: “Yes, I know that 06Khor3    55:21 | Having said this very scornfully, he flew from the hippodrome 06Khor3    55:23 | held in the hall. But he, putting his right hand to 06Khor3    55:23 | knew what sort of man he was 06Khor3    56:2 | word of his father’s illness. He departed in haste, ordering his 06Khor3    56:7 | became king of Persia, and he sought vengeance from our land 06Khor3    56:7 | sought vengeance from our land. He made peace with the Greeks 06Khor3    57:2 | misfortunes in the Persian sector, he went to the western regions 06Khor3    57:2 | a suitably worthy fashion.

He judged the site to be 06Khor3    59:5 | foot of the pretty mountain he found many small crystal-clear 06Khor3    59:5 | forth, and at that spot he founded the city. Surrounding it 06Khor3    59:5 | it with a deep ditch, he set the foundations of the 06Khor3    59:5 | a great depth; above it he built very high and fearsome 06Khor3    59:5 | towers, the first of which he named Theodosius in honor of 06Khor3    59:6 | Beyond this he built jutting towers like ships’ 06Khor3    59:7 | He did the same on the 06Khor3    59:7 | to the east and west he erected circular towers 06Khor3    59:8 | city on an elevated spot, he built numerous storehouses and named 06Khor3    59:9 | And he brought in additional water to 06Khor3    59:10 | He filled the city with arms 06Khor3    59:11 | And over the warm springs he constructed buildings of dressed stone 06Khor3    60:2 | instruction of the first groups he had gathered 06Khor3    60:3 | He taught not as if it 06Khor3    60:3 | it were an art, but he gave as it were inspiration 06Khor3    60:4 | Then he left overseers from among his 06Khor3    60:4 | and in Ekeḷeats’ Danan, while he himself went to Ayrarat and 06Khor3    60:6 | Going there, he brought many to orthodoxy, and 06Khor3    60:6 | and the few recalcitrant ones he expelled to the empire of 06Khor3    60:7 | to the bishop called Musheḷ, he himself returned to the valley 06Khor3    60:7 | of Gardman, for there too he had heard that there were 06Khor3    60:7 | sympathizers of that sect.

He is weak with women, but 06Khor3    63:9 | is weak with women, but he does not serve the elements 06Khor3    63:11 | But the princes, supposing that he was acting deceitfully to delay 06Khor3    63:11 | to delay them so that he might prepare the king, all 06Khor3    63:11 | not agree with us that he should not be king, now 06Khor3    64:2 | a denunciation of Artashir, but he absolutely refused to say anything 06Khor3    64:3 | Then he, Vṙam ordered the minister of 06Khor3    64:4 | So he adopted a seductive tone and 06Khor3    64:4 | the king of Persia, and he will set your grandson Vardan 06Khor3    64:5 | But he did not agree, saying: “Why 06Khor3    64:5 | which they accuse him, rather he is worthy of honor from 06Khor3    64:5 | with your impure laws, although he is guilty according to ours 06Khor3    64:6 | Paying no heed to Artashir he eagerly listened to his detractors 06Khor3    64:7 | throne, so in self-interest he had rendered his tongue into 06Khor3    64:9 | Greatly honoring the princes, he sent them off with a 06Khor3    64:10 | the very same princes.” Then he obtained from the Persian king 06Khor3    64:11 | occupant for the throne, and he gave them a Syrian, Brkisho 06Khor3    64:12 | keep house. For three years he led a dissolute and prodigal 06Khor3    65:2 | Sahak in his own sector he might give him to the 06Khor3    65:4 | the requests of both parties: he gave the archiepiscopal throne to 06Khor3    65:4 | Samuel by name, so that he might be a rival and 06Khor3    65:4 | and antipatriarch to Sahak, and he set as his duties: to 06Khor3    65:5 | And Sahak the Great he set free, leaving him a 06Khor3    65:5 | the same patriarchal domain that he might reside only in his 06Khor3    65:7 | his services and their ingratitude. He also reproached them for their 06Khor3    65:7 | cruel plots and evil deeds; he added to this a refutation 06Khor3    65:7 | they had uttered, in that he Vṙam had spoken of the 06Khor3    65:7 | spoken of the “erring faith.” He poured scorn on their religion 06Khor3    65:8 | He did not throw all the 06Khor3    65:9 | However he did not accept it, saying 06Khor3    65:10 | And second, that he restore the domains of my 06Khor3    65:10 | other nobles, in whatever place he may wish, as he deprived 06Khor3    65:10 | place he may wish, as he deprived his kinsman the Kamsarakan 06Khor3    65:12 | of his own Mamikonean family, he sent them to Armenia 06Khor3    66:2 | but with even greater avarice.

Let 07Seb1    46:11 | beaten and depart.’ Likewise, he ordered another multitude of sects 07Seb1    46:11 | be expelled from the tribunal. He commanded that only (the councils 07Seb1    46:14 | king understood concerning Nestorius, who he was and whence, and at 07Seb1    46:14 | at which council, and what he had said, he ordered the 07Seb1    46:14 | and what he had said, he ordered the Nestorians to be 07Seb1    46:14 | be expelled from the tribunal. He likewise asked about the council 07Seb1    46:16 | to the Persian king. Hence, he commanded a disputation to be 07Seb1    46:17 | When he knew everything reliably and had 07Seb1    46:17 | reliably and had truly understood, he questioned them, saying: ’Why did 07Seb1    46:19 | Then he ordered Zak’arias, the patriarch of 07Seb1    46:19 | turned aside from God, then he in anger would not have 07Seb1    46:27 | see.’ Why then does he say: ’We were indeed eye 07Seb1    46:28 | Now it is clear that he is describing the incarnation of 07Seb1    46:28 | has seen the Father’. ’Me’, he said, as one, and not 07Seb1    46:28 | not ’us’, as two. There he only speaks about the divinity 07Seb1    46:28 | and unapproachable light’. Whereas here ( he speaks) about the humanity and 07Seb1    46:30 | catholic (epistle), saying: ’It is he who came with fire and 07Seb1    46:31 | of God is greater which he testified concerning his Son.’ 07Seb1    46:31 | testified concerning his Son.’ ’He is my beloved Son in 07Seb1    46:31 | am pleased.

Again he says: ’Who did not spare 07Seb1    46:34 | the sake of sin; and he condemned sin in the body 07Seb1    46:35 | What is this ’he condemned’?

He was raised from his youth 07Seb1    49:1 | army in a military capacity. He firmly agreed with the council 07Seb1    49:2 | But he revealed his impious thoughts to 07Seb1    49:2 | thoughts to no one until he reached the episcopate in that 07Seb1    49:2 | in that land, from which he was called to the throne 07Seb1    49:2 | the throne of the Catholicosate. He was a man virtuous in 07Seb1    49:2 | conduct, fasting, and prayer. But he kept the bitter poison hidden 07Seb1    49:2 | hidden in his heart, and he planned to convert Armenia to 07Seb1    49:3 | Yet he did not dare to reveal 07Seb1    49:4 | St. Gregory down to today.

When he saw what had occurred, he 07Seb1    52:19 | he saw what had occurred, he brought together his troops, went 07Seb1    52:19 | inflicted great slaughter on them. He returned very victoriously to Asorestan 07Seb1    52:21 | them into submission to himself, he rules over the possessions of 07Seb1    52:23 | fire will flame up,’ he says, ’from my anger; it 07Seb1    52:24 | That he speaks about them is clear 07Seb1    52:24 | about them is clear, because he says: ’They will be consumed 07Seb1    52:25 | He clearly indicates that the fire 07Seb1    52:26 | the end of his account he says: ’The day of their 08Ghev1    1:0 | for bravery was widespread, and he terrified them.

From that point on he ceased going against the Ishmaelites 08Ghev1    4:14 | hostages at the royal court. He gave to Grigor the honor 08Ghev1    4:15 | and five months before dying. He had kept taxes over the 08Ghev1    4:15 | Malik [685-705], son of Marwan [I, 684-685] ruled. He lived for twenty-one years 08Ghev1    4:17 | all raids and attacks.

He also bestowed on Smbat the 08Ghev1    8:21 | the land of Tayk’ where he entered the fortress called T’uxark’ 08Ghev1    8:25 | Then he went to the Armenian troops 08Ghev1    8:27 | When the Ishmaelite heard this, he note: “At least grant me 08Ghev1    8:27 | agreed not to kill him.

He note: “I realized your wisdom 08Ghev1    9:12 | upon me.” Having said this, he returned to his lodging-place 08Ghev1    9:15 | As for general Muhammad, he came a second time to 08Ghev1    9:15 | remaining there for three years. He did no evil to the 08Ghev1    9:15 | the town of Vardanakert.

(al 08Ghev1    10:3 | Ishmaelite troops, heard about this he assembled his forces with great 08Ghev1    10:6 | been leading the Byzantine troops, he ordered Muhammad to implement the 08Ghev1    10:6 | implement the same wicked plan he had devised 08Ghev1    10:19 | hard of hearing. Despite this he was sagacious and full of 08Ghev1    10:20 | Once he had been confirmed in his 08Ghev1    10:20 | been confirmed in his authority, he wrote an edict to the 08Ghev1    10:21 | the emperor heard about this, he regretted their ingratitude and summoned 08Ghev1    10:21 | anathemas in a book.

He requested many troops from the 08Ghev1    11:0 | the Ishmaelites and promised that he would bring the king of 08Ghev1    11:1 | the Persians, and Khurasan, until he reached a part of the 08Ghev1    11:1 | land of the Chinese.

In this way he would catch them in his 08Ghev1    12:4 | the land of the Huns. He went and pitched camp close 08Ghev1    12:5 | acclaimed among all peoples—and he came and encamped close to 08Ghev1    12:6 | arrival of Alp T’arxan, whom he had called upon for assistance 08Ghev1    12:7 | multitude of troops facing him, he began to doubt himself and 08Ghev1    12:7 | doubt himself and wondered whether he could find some means of 08Ghev1    12:8 | So he ordered his troops to kindle 08Ghev1    12:8 | Caucasus Mountains, destroying forests as he went. Thus was he able 08Ghev1    12:8 | as he went. Thus was he able to take to the 08Ghev1    12:9 | And thus did he return from the land of 08Ghev1    13:1 | the men of his clan. He effected the release from captivity 08Ghev1    13:1 | land of the Armenians, after he had immolated the lords of 08Ghev1    13:2 | once ’Umar’s rule was established, he released all the captives to 08Ghev1    13:7 | more worthy of credence, since He was near to God, and 08Ghev1    13:13 | the like of Jesus, when he speaks in his vision, of 08Ghev1    14:1 | with kindliness, to see whether He will not grant them time 08Ghev1    14:9 | coming from our Lord, though He does counsel us often to 08Ghev1    14:17 | because, being near to God, He knew Himself better than all 08Ghev1    14:21 | who has taught you this, he has forgotten himself, and if 08Ghev1    14:21 | if it is some other, he has only lied the worse 08Ghev1    14:22 | accept nothing without witnesses, and he adds that the Mosaic code 08Ghev1    14:24 | hope, blessed Jacob, and then he, with the same purpose, blessed 08Ghev1    14:24 | from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs 08Ghev1    14:27 | dissident or heterodox who, while he lies, thinks he is telling 08Ghev1    14:27 | who, while he lies, thinks he is telling the truth? This 08Ghev1    14:27 | regard them as such, whereas he himself rejects what God has 08Ghev1    14:41 | He underwent all that with the 08Ghev1    14:41 | of proving that it was He Himself who had, through the 08Ghev1    14:42 | nation in the land which He had decreed 08Ghev1    14:43 | for it was there that he was cast into the lions’ 08Ghev1    14:44 | had not taken place, yet he announces it in an unmistakable 08Ghev1    14:45 | of the Holy Spirit, and he composed everything infallibly, as is 08Ghev1    14:46 | men through Prophets, His ministers. He who is exempt from forgetfulness 08Ghev1    14:46 | forgetfulness and conjectures, it is He who speaks through the Prophets 08Ghev1    14:48 | reasonable people will know that he much rather approaches a person 08Ghev1    14:50 | That is not so. What He commanded Noah He did not 08Ghev1    14:50 | so. What He commanded Noah He did not demand of those 08Ghev1    14:50 | preceded him. Not all that He commanded Abraham did He command 08Ghev1    14:50 | that He commanded Abraham did He command Noah, nor all that 08Ghev1    14:50 | command Noah, nor all that He commanded Moses did He command 08Ghev1    14:50 | that He commanded Moses did He command Abraham. Not all that 08Ghev1    14:50 | command Abraham. Not all that He commanded Joshua did He command 08Ghev1    14:50 | that He commanded Joshua did He command Moses, and what He 08Ghev1    14:50 | He command Moses, and what He commanded Samuel and David and 08Ghev1    14:50 | other Prophets, in each epoch, He did not command Joshua 08Ghev1    14:52 | a single Prophet, why should He send other prophets? And if 08Ghev1    14:52 | send other prophets? And if He was going to let every 08Ghev1    14:54 | that I, even I, am he, and there is no god 08Ghev1    14:55 | As regards to judgment, He says: “If I whet my 08Ghev1    14:55 | hate me.” [Deut. 32:41]. As regards hell ( He says): “For in my anger 08Ghev1    14:58 | down angels to meet people. He has chosen the way of 08Ghev1    14:58 | finished all those things that He had decided on be-forehand 08Ghev1    14:59 | Holy Spirit the Paraclete, since He meant to comfort them His 08Ghev1    14:59 | remind them of all that He had said, all that He 08Ghev1    14:59 | He had said, all that He had done before their eyes 08Ghev1    14:61 | Spirit, give heed to what He says: “But the counsellor, the 08Ghev1    14:61 | will send in my name, he will teach you all things 08Ghev1    14:61 | I have said to you.” [John 14:26]. He also adds: “Whom the Father 08Ghev1    14:63 | He did not achieve the eternal 08Ghev1    14:76 | escaped from this destruction, for he ( Hajjaj) could not make them 08Ghev1    14:91 | later, deceived by the Tempter, he was robbed of the honor 08Ghev1    14:91 | because of his reproachable ingratitude, he abandoned himself to a life 08Ghev1    14:92 | of paganism in whose worship he encouraged them to live 08Ghev1    14:93 | with compassion for mankind, for He alone is the true compassionate 08Ghev1    14:93 | enemy, from time to time, He made Himself known through the 08Ghev1    14:94 | the right time arrived. This He did as much as He 08Ghev1    14:94 | He did as much as He pleased to instruct men, promising 08Ghev1    14:95 | able to descend lower than He in humiliation, we attribute to 08Ghev1    14:96 | will hearken always to whatsoever he speaks unto you 08Ghev1    14:97 | applies to one only, namely, he who is the most powerful 08Ghev1    14:99 | me, they wag their heads; ’He committed his cause to the 08Ghev1    14:99 | let him rescue him, for he delights in him’.” [Psalm 22:6-7]. This prophecy 08Ghev1    14:103 | can be compared to him. He found the whole way to 08Ghev1    14:103 | servant and to Israel whom he loved 08Ghev1    14:105 | of His ineffable humiliation, whereby He illuminated the entire universe, by 08Ghev1    14:105 | of the general resurrection that He announced to the Hebrew people 08Ghev1    14:105 | pagans, should possess His glory. ( He then says to them): “Turn 08Ghev1    14:107 | And a little further on ( he adds:) “A scepter shall come 08Ghev1    14:108 | it indicates the future domination He will exercise over the pagans 08Ghev1    14:110 | whatever Agag may have been, he was but temporal, while that 08Ghev1    14:110 | Spirit on this matter, when He says through David: “Give the 08Ghev1    14:112 | on (the Prophet) adds: “May he live while the sun endures 08Ghev1    14:112 | moon, throughout all generations. May he have dominion from sea to 08Ghev1    14:117 | God, and have believed that He was God from God, because 08Ghev1    14:118 | Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” [Isaiah 9:6]. He is called Angel by reason 08Ghev1    14:120 | throne of David, nor did He reign over Israel, because this 08Ghev1    14:123 | humiliation in the sufferings which He voluntarily went through in accordance 08Ghev1    14:125 | the person of the Savior: He was sold by His disciple 08Ghev1    14:126 | prophesied pertaining (to the sufferings): “ He who ate my bread, has 08Ghev1    14:126 | Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall be lifted up. As 08Ghev1    14:126 | sons of men, so shall he startle many nations); kings shall 08Ghev1    14:127 | the Lord been revealed? (For he grew up before him like 08Ghev1    14:127 | root out of dry ground; he had no form or comeliness 08Ghev1    14:127 | that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by 08Ghev1    14:127 | whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed 08Ghev1    14:128 | Surely he has borne our griefs and 08Ghev1    14:128 | by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions 08Ghev1    14:128 | was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities 08Ghev1    14:129 | the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was 08Ghev1    14:129 | all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened 08Ghev1    14:129 | and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like 08Ghev1    14:129 | its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth 08Ghev1    14:130 | By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as 08Ghev1    14:130 | his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of 08Ghev1    14:130 | man in his death), although he had done no violence, and 08Ghev1    14:138 | of prayers, but as man He prayed in order to teach 08Ghev1    14:138 | pray, even us whose nature He partook 08Ghev1    14:139 | But in praying He said nothing of all that 08Ghev1    14:139 | you attribute to Him. Rather, He note: “Father, if Thou art 08Ghev1    14:139 | cup from me,” [Luke 22; 42], indicating that He was really man, since it 08Ghev1    14:141 | Adam’s sweat, and of which He had said before His incarnation 08Ghev1    14:141 | idea of His disciples that He was a mere man, such 08Ghev1    14:141 | apparition making them realize that He was in many respects above 08Ghev1    14:141 | must also believe in what He has said in the same 08Ghev1    14:142 | Never did He say as you pretend “God 08Ghev1    14:142 | to Him.” On the contrary, He note: “The Father (who sent 08Ghev1    14:143 | it. That passage is this: “ He who believes in me, believes 08Ghev1    14:143 | His divine nature, inasmuch as He is the Word of God 08Ghev1    14:144 | Then He adds as follows: “He who 08Ghev1    14:144 | Then He adds as follows: “ He who rejects me, rejects Him 08Ghev1    14:144 | Him who sent me”, and “ He who sees me, sees Him 08Ghev1    14:144 | sees Him who sent me.” [John 12:45,48]. He was sent as a man 08Ghev1    14:144 | sent as a man, and He sent (His disciples) as God 08Ghev1    14:144 | my) human nature, for otherwise He would have not said a 08Ghev1    14:145 | Had He been merely a Prophet, He 08Ghev1    14:145 | He been merely a Prophet, He must have only said that 08Ghev1    14:146 | cover of His human body He was tempted by Satan, who 08Ghev1    14:147 | voice, proved that it was He alone to whom the voice 08Ghev1    14:150 | the Evangelist refer in saying: “ He who believes in the Son 08Ghev1    14:150 | the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the 08Ghev1    14:151 | and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with 08Ghev1    14:152 | world in flesh, has note: “ He who has seen me has 08Ghev1    14:153 | He is (Jesus) Father by His 08Ghev1    14:153 | who believed in his name, he gave power to become children 08Ghev1    14:153 | to become children of God.” [John 1:12]. He is His God because of 08Ghev1    14:153 | of His human nature, which He has in common with us 08Ghev1    14:153 | in His being as God, He sent (His disciples): “As the 08Ghev1    14:155 | What covenant did He make with their fathers in 08Ghev1    14:155 | Easter, the Passover, and which He had given to be kept 08Ghev1    14:156 | His passion, took bread, which He blessed, broke, and gave to 08Ghev1    14:156 | and gave to the disciples. He did the same with the 08Ghev1    14:156 | the cup of wine. These He called His body and His 08Ghev1    14:159 | God to himself, and that he received the precept of circumcision 08Ghev1    14:160 | system, what new covenant could He be promising 08Ghev1    14:169 | word, as [Psalm 148] assures us, saying: “ He commanded and they were created 08Ghev1    14:169 | commanded and they were created; He established them forever and ever 08Ghev1    14:175 | to whom I will look, he that is humble and contrite 08Ghev1    14:176 | men His habitation, and that He is not offended by their 08Ghev1    14:177 | the general resurrection, how should He not take special care for 08Ghev1    14:177 | of His saints, of whom He has spoken many times in 08Ghev1    14:178 | him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not 08Ghev1    14:181 | God does not consider that He is defiled by dwelling in 08Ghev1    14:182 | whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God 08Ghev1    14:183 | brother, when on the day he went to immolate the profane 08Ghev1    14:186 | the Church is forever glorified. He says: “The cypress, the plane 08Ghev1    14:191 | into that very desert, as He says in the Gospel: “He 08Ghev1    14:191 | He says in the Gospel: “ He ( the unclean spirit) passes through 08Ghev1    14:194 | affair with your wives which he has compared, I am ashamed 08Ghev1    14:194 | manner full of artifice whereby he succeeded in seducing the woman 08Ghev1    14:195 | is well known that therein he committed a sin before God 08Ghev1    14:195 | sin before God, for which he was grievously punished by the 08Ghev1    14:201 | the horror of death. For he believed that the just were 08Ghev1    14:202 | But when he saw the Lord walk willingly 08Ghev1    14:202 | the sufferings of the cross, he was seized with horror, and 08Ghev1    14:202 | salvation of the human race, he attempted to terrify the wife 08Ghev1    14:203 | God engendered from true God. He rose again, or rather resuscitated 08Ghev1    14:204 | resuscitated, less for Himself, since He was spiritual, immortal and incorruptible 08Ghev1    14:204 | the human race whose nature He had taken upon Himself and 08Ghev1    14:204 | Himself and met His death. He assured by this resurrection the 08Ghev1    14:205 | the will of God. So he has nothing to expect but 08Ghev1    14:209 | two before was only one. He designates by these two horses 08Ghev1    14:209 | Jews and the pagans whom He dominated but who still persecuted 08Ghev1    14:209 | comes this man? What does he say? He comes mounted on 08Ghev1    14:209 | man? What does he say? He comes mounted on two horses 08Ghev1    14:211 | error. It is thus that he has led you to circumcise 08Ghev1    14:216 | give.” [Isa. 62:2]. The Lord Himself, when He was upon earth, told us 08Ghev1    14:218 | light of His countenance. Should He will it, (we are prepared 08Ghev1    14:218 | inflicted by your hands. This He will do at the opportune 08Ghev1    15:0 | When the latter read it, he was overcome by shame 08Ghev1    15:1 | Indeed, as we narrated earlier, he was the one who released 08Ghev1    15:2 | He demonstrated the same good will 08Ghev1    15:2 | him. Opening up the treasuries, he gave out stipends to the 08Ghev1    15:2 | officers. After all these events, he died 08Ghev1    16:0 | Yazid) [II, 720-724] ruled for six years. He was a filthy man who 08Ghev1    16:0 | by an impure evil spirit, he ordered that the life-giving 08Ghev1    16:1 | Similarly he smashed the dominical crosses of 08Ghev1    16:1 | of faith. As it happened he was unable to move that 08Ghev1    16:2 | the apex of his fanaticism, he ordered the mass slaughter of 08Ghev1    16:3 | that demon choked him and he perished. And thus did he 08Ghev1    16:3 | he perished. And thus did he receive a worthy judgement from 08Ghev1    16:3 | of all, and thus did he perish bitterly 08Ghev1    17:1 | first year of his reign, he conceived the disastrous plan of 08Ghev1    17:1 | former caliph) ’Umar, as though he had inappropriately spent the treasures 08Ghev1    18:7 | But when Maslama arrived there he found that he had not 08Ghev1    18:7 | arrived there he found that he had not come in time 08Ghev1    18:7 | the victory. And so, (treacherously) he put some (of al-Harashi’s 08Ghev1    18:7 | expropriated their booty and captives. He insulted, upbraided, and tortured (Sai’id 08Ghev1    18:7 | wanted to kill him. However, he was unable to openly give 08Ghev1    18:8 | So he did not dare to work 08Ghev1    18:8 | to work his will. Rather, he silently checked these plans of 08Ghev1    19:0 | to threaten the Byzantine emperor. He sent an emissary to Leo 08Ghev1    19:0 | emperor of the Byzantines that he submit to him and pay 08Ghev1    19:1 | in (western) Asia Minor. Thence he reached the land of Bithynia 08Ghev1    19:3 | into a treacherous trap. Rather he wanted them merely to remain 08Ghev1    19:4 | the emperor had ordered. For he had heard that the Ishmaelite 08Ghev1    19:4 | Byzantine general learned about this, he ordered his troops to arm 08Ghev1    19:8 | the magnitude of the victory, he and his lords made merry 08Ghev1    19:8 | and his lords made merry. He gave magnificent gifts to his 08Ghev1    19:8 | and blessed the triumph which he had achieved 08Ghev1    19:9 | and women slaves and equippage, he divided it among his troops 08Ghev1    20:1 | brother swear an oath that he would not return to him 08Ghev1    20:1 | not return to him until he had implemented his will, for 08Ghev1    20:1 | had implemented his will, for he had vowed that he would 08Ghev1    20:1 | for he had vowed that he would destroy that empire and 08Ghev1    20:1 | of God on earth. And ( he swore that) he would build 08Ghev1    20:1 | earth. And (he swore that) he would build there a place 08Ghev1    20:2 | the land of the Byzantines. He pitched camp by the shores 08Ghev1    20:6 | great before the Lord and He will aid us 08Ghev1    20:7 | Leo. (Leo), as soon as he had read the mocking letter 08Ghev1    20:10 | He also mentioned the condemnation of 08Ghev1    20:11 | many others like it did he pour forth before the Lord 08Ghev1    20:12 | After this he wrote a letter to General 08Ghev1    20:13 | for your wickedness and that He will silence that abominable mouth 08Ghev1    20:16 | the Lord our God. But He can sink you and all 08Ghev1    20:19 | Ishmaelite general read this letter he became even more furious and 08Ghev1    20:19 | of a rock, so that he be caught in his own 08Ghev1    20:20 | Then he ordered his soldiers to prepare 08Ghev1    20:21 | a forest on the sea— he ordered the iron fence for 08Ghev1    20:21 | to fight the enemy. For he remained awaiting a visitation from 08Ghev1    20:26 | to be mercilessly slain. Rather he commanded that they be kept 08Ghev1    20:28 | showed great mercy on them. He summoned (Maslama) to him and 08Ghev1    20:31 | country in great disgrace. As he went from city to city 08Ghev1    20:31 | went from city to city, he was greeted with sighs and 08Ghev1    20:32 | And he, with his head bowed in 08Ghev1    20:32 | to fight against God.” Thereafter he went home and, to the 08Ghev1    21:3 | to the Ishmaelite caliph, and he wrote an accusation against them 08Ghev1    21:5 | established (Ashot [III] Bagratuni, presiding prince [732-748], he went to the caliph of 08Ghev1    21:6 | and acceded to his request. He ordered that (the sum of 08Ghev1    22:2 | triumph and much spoil. When he reached the Barda’a (Partaw) shahastan 08Ghev1    22:2 | reached the Barda’a (Partaw) shahastan he set aside a fifth portion 08Ghev1    22:5 | violent attacks and iniquitous deeds. He amputated the hands and feet 08Ghev1    23:1 | He was a powerfully built strongman 08Ghev1    23:1 | enjoyed single-combat wrestling. Whenever he heard about some (other) combatant 08Ghev1    23:1 | heard about some (other) combatant, he had him fetched so that 08Ghev1    23:1 | had him fetched so that he might test his own prowess 08Ghev1    23:1 | test his own prowess. Furthermore, he occupied himself with drunkenness and 08Ghev1    23:3 | They responded: “Because he has insulted the honor of 08Ghev1    23:3 | deports himself with disgraceful behavior, he is worthy of death and 08Ghev1    24:0 | of their caliph al-Walid, he forthwith assembled his troops. He 08Ghev1    24:0 | he forthwith assembled his troops. He left (as ruler) over the 08Ghev1    24:1 | Then he took the entire multitude of 08Ghev1    24:4 | opposing side, slaying Sulaiman, and he himself held authority (Marwan) [II, 744-750] for 08Ghev1    25:3 | attacked him at night while he was sleeping and his forces 08Ghev1    25:3 | brigands coming against him and he escaped their clutches by flight 08Ghev1    25:4 | from them for some days. He gathered the folk of his 08Ghev1    25:5 | He himself went to the land 08Ghev1    25:9 | as (Oqba) received this order, he was unable to retrain himself 08Ghev1    25:9 | unable to retrain himself; rather, he called at once for him 08Ghev1    25:10 | Then he wrote to Marwan inquiring what 08Ghev1    25:10 | wrote to Marwan inquiring what he ( would) order. And he ordered 08Ghev1    25:10 | what he (would) order. And he ordered that his hands and 08Ghev1    25:10 | cut off and then that he be tied to a stake 08Ghev1    25:10 | tied to a stake until he died. Thus (Dawit’) died a 08Ghev1    25:12 | of fear of the tyrants he demonstrated peace toward Ashot, but 08Ghev1    25:12 | words only. In his heart he did not recognize his authority 08Ghev1    25:12 | not recognize his authority. For he was waiting for an opportune 08Ghev1    26:0 | clan suggested this plan and he did this with the malicious 08Ghev1    26:2 | enthused by this hopeless idea— he had his doubts. He summoned 08Ghev1    26:2 | idea—he had his doubts. He summoned his lords one by 08Ghev1    26:10 | to implement his treachery, so he quickly assembled his troops and 08Ghev1    26:10 | and besieged the place where he was resting. (Grigor) knew about 08Ghev1    26:11 | Seizing (Ashot), he gave him to one of 08Ghev1    26:11 | eyes. (And by this deed) he reduced the glory of our 08Ghev1    26:13 | for that oath-breaking Grigor, he went off to the city 08Ghev1    26:14 | frightfully and dangerously swollen and he grew feverish. And thus did 08Ghev1    26:14 | grew feverish. And thus did he quit this life, unremembered. Afterwards 08Ghev1    26:15 | experienced this traitorous treachery. Afterwards he lived for [13] years, dying in 08Ghev1    26:15 | dying in deep old age. He was entombed with glory in 08Ghev1    27:6 | Marwan realized what was unfolding, he was plunged into a great 08Ghev1    27:6 | troops. Surrounding himself with soldiers, he arose against (the Abbasids 08Ghev1    27:8 | the blood of the kinsfolk he had shed 08Ghev1    27:10 | of (Marwan’s) reign, after which he died 08Ghev1    28:0 | l-Abbas al-Saffah), [750-754] ruled. He sent his brother, another Abdullah 08Ghev1    28:1 | First he came to the land of 08Ghev1    28:1 | torments, to the point that he was demanding taxes from the 08Ghev1    28:2 | He made many orphans and widows 08Ghev1    28:3 | He viciously tormented the inhabitants of 08Ghev1    28:5 | had satisfied his wicked appetite, he passed on to the area 08Ghev1    28:6 | Wherever he went, through his rapacious, greedy 08Ghev1    28:6 | through his rapacious, greedy behavior, he entrapped people like someone casting 08Ghev1    28:6 | a coin.” For in truth he revered the coin more than 08Ghev1    28:6 | revered the coin more than he revered God 08Ghev1    28:7 | When he was leaving our land he 08Ghev1    28:7 | he was leaving our land he placed Yazid (Ezit) (Yezid ibn 08Ghev1    28:8 | son of his father’s brother. He was a tall, attractive man 08Ghev1    28:9 | Wherever they sent him he led his troops, although they 08Ghev1    29:1 | amount of gold and silver. He also found in that treasury 08Ghev1    29:1 | of the Lord’s Cross, which he removed and took with him 08Ghev1    29:2 | He also took to Byzantine territory 08Ghev1    29:4 | land. Assembling an innumerable host, he designated officials over the work 08Ghev1    29:5 | He led the sons of Ishmael 08Ghev1    29:5 | city from (their) foes. And he stipulated that the provisions for 08Ghev1    30:5 | the death of the brother he so deeply loved, he (resolved 08Ghev1    30:5 | brother he so deeply loved, he ( resolved to) sacrifice his own 08Ghev1    30:5 | to) sacrifice his own life. He dismounted and hamstrung his horse 08Ghev1    30:5 | then commenced furious single combat. He covered the ground with numerous 08Ghev1    30:5 | his brother’s blood. But then he gave his life, defeated in 08Ghev1    30:7 | into Gagik Artsruni’s hands. And he killed Sulaiman and many with 08Ghev1    31:0 | ibn Usaid) was still ruling, he sent an emissary to the 08Ghev1    31:2 | R’azht’arxan, of the Xat’irlit’ber brigade. He sent (this army) to our 08Ghev1    31:6 | the land of the Armenians, he could not even lift his 08Ghev1    31:6 | his head (from shame); rather, he just sat there like an 08Ghev1    31:7 | the land of the Syrians. He himself soon died by the 08Ghev1    32:0 | the land of the Armenians. He was an impious and bloodthirsty 08Ghev1    32:2 | lord of the Artsrunik’ House, he was unable to find any 08Ghev1    32:2 | to flee to. And so he migrated to the fortress of 08Ghev1    32:2 | land with their cavalry. Then he arose and commenced raiding in 08Ghev1    32:4 | the destruction of his forces, ( he realized) that he would be 08Ghev1    32:4 | his forces, (he realized) that he would be unable to resume 08Ghev1    32:4 | retreated into the fortress where he desisted for a while. Subsequently 08Ghev1    32:5 | When he was unable to capture it 08Ghev1    32:5 | was unable to capture it, he treacherously summoned (Gagik) to (discuss 08Ghev1    32:5 | demanded from him the silver he had demanded as tax from 08Ghev1    32:6 | it did no good, for he died there in tribulation, like 08Ghev1    33:5 | was because with deceitful machinations he was furthering the descent into 08Ghev1    33:6 | mover in this) was not he; instead, he was implementing the 08Ghev1    33:6 | this) was not he; instead, he was implementing the will (of 08Ghev1    33:6 | God), the corrector of princes. He was (but) a witness to 08Ghev1    34:2 | of the Mamikonean House. When he went to the capital Dwin 08Ghev1    34:2 | went to the capital Dwin, he greatly organized his troops. There 08Ghev1    34:2 | greatly organized his troops. There he received weapons and (other) war 08Ghev1    34:2 | and (other) war materiel. (Although) he himself took up shield, helmet 08Ghev1    34:2 | all the armaments (of war), he made himself appear to be 08Ghev1    34:3 | When he ( finally) resolved to distance himself 08Ghev1    34:3 | distance himself (from the Arabs) he went to the city of 08Ghev1    34:3 | in the Shirak district, where he killed the tax collector and 08Ghev1    34:3 | tax collector and seized whatever he found there 08Ghev1    34:4 | He took his own (Mamikonean) House 08Ghev1    34:6 | in the land of Georgia. He captured gorges, seized part of 08Ghev1    34:10 | He united some of the Armenian 08Ghev1    34:10 | from submission to the Ishmaelites. He found some of the sons 08Ghev1    34:10 | them to the sword. Then he migrated to Artagers fortress with 08Ghev1    34:11 | district of Bagrewand with [260] men, he seized the tax collector named 08Ghev1    34:14 | and died. (As for Mushegh), he gathered up the weapons, booty 08Ghev1    34:14 | to his own troops. Then he himself went toward his fortress 08Ghev1    34:15 | complaints from all sides.

On the contrary, he raised his voice in giving 09Draskh1    35:10 | As he could not decide on a 09Draskh1    35:10 | severity of the winter season, he went from there to the 09Draskh1    35:13 | Also he asked for the hand of 09Draskh1    35:13 | brother of the king, because he considered Smbat’s oath untrustworthy and 09Draskh1    35:14 | other way out of this, he unwillingly complied with Afshin’s wishes 09Draskh1    35:14 | son Smbat as hostages.

On the contrary, he always made concessions humbly, and 09Draskh1    36:16 | and with his gentle disposition he continued to maintain the same 09Draskh1    37:1 | pretext of conquering them. Then he set out and came to 09Draskh1    37:1 | from where like a storm he suddenly attacked the district of 09Draskh1    37:1 | turned to its former aberration, he put his hopes in black 09Draskh1    37:1 | magic with the expectation that he might be able to annihilate 09Draskh1    37:3 | when the ostikan realized that he could not deceive the king 09Draskh1    37:3 | not deceive the king—for he had made the attempt more 09Draskh1    37:3 | more than once or twice— he gave up his intention, and 09Draskh1    37:3 | intention, and made believe that he had come to visit the 09Draskh1    37:4 | Then he set forth and arrived at 09Draskh1    37:4 | capital city of Dvin, where he tried to bind (the king 09Draskh1    37:4 | Diwdad with the great eunuch, he made haste to go to 09Draskh1    37:8 | king Smbat returned from Tayk’, he went out to meet the 09Draskh1    37:9 | king, so much so, that he admitted having seen no one 09Draskh1    37:10 | gifts and honors from Smbat, he went to the city of 09Draskh1    37:13 | whose minds inclined toward wickedness.

He brought with him Constantine of 09Draskh1    41:6 | with twice as many honors, he generously granted him all the 09Draskh1    41:7 | In this manner he kept Constantine in custody for 09Draskh1    41:8 | because of his perceptive mind he did not show any reluctance 09Draskh1    41:9 | He took this course of action 09Draskh1    41:9 | gratitude to the latter. Second, ( he thought) that Constantine might perhaps 09Draskh1    41:10 | Subsequently, he dressed him in royal robes 09Draskh1    41:11 | He also equipped him with the 09Draskh1    41:12 | submissiveness, and loyal service that he offered to king Smbat, whom 09Draskh1    41:12 | offered to king Smbat, whom he considered his benefactor, because of 09Draskh1    41:13 | the release of Constantine, for he assumed that this was done 09Draskh1    41:13 | of hostility towards him and he began thenceforth to arm his 09Draskh1    41:14 | toward wickedness. On the contrary, he was always magnanimous in his 09Draskh1    42:1 | caliph was informed of this, he immediately sent edicts and envoys 09Draskh1    42:2 | In like manner, he also sent one of his 09Draskh1    42:2 | a strict decree, (demanding) that he might also venture to set 09Draskh1    42:3 | of his pact with Yusuf, he was unable to set aside 09Draskh1    42:3 | of respect to the secretary, he drew up his forces, marshalled 09Draskh1    42:3 | ready in arms and ornaments. He pretended to be more zealous 09Draskh1    42:3 | rebel, and made believe that he had sent as many as 09Draskh1    42:4 | professed) that the army which he had mustered was drawn up 09Draskh1    42:5 | Although the ostikan believed what he read in the letter, at 09Draskh1    42:5 | the instigation of wicked tongues he inclined toward to evil, and 09Draskh1    42:5 | returning to its secure lair, he reverted to his wicked thoughts 09Draskh1    42:6 | his wickedness at the moment, he wrote in response to the 09Draskh1    42:7 | caliph in the proper way, he once again was allowed to 09Draskh1    42:9 | by them to be imminent, he thought that if he were 09Draskh1    42:9 | imminent, he thought that if he were to pay the tribute 09Draskh1    42:10 | So, he sent orders throughout his domain 09Draskh1    42:10 | payment of the unjust tax. He considered that the fifth would 09Draskh1    42:11 | the safety of human society. He took this course of action 09Draskh1    42:13 | wicked as well as subversive, he conceived the idea of killing 09Draskh1    42:14 | He brought about a breach between 09Draskh1    42:14 | kinsmen. Through pernicious double dealing he conducted secret negotiations with the 09Draskh1    42:14 | of the Armenians, provided that he would take part in the 09Draskh1    42:23 | soul that sins shall die”. He let the guiltless escape the 09Draskh1    42:25 | oldest son as hostage. Also he received from him all the 09Draskh1    42:25 | blinding all of them, some he sent to the king of 09Draskh1    42:26 | the aid of Divine Providence, he was able to reestablish his 09Draskh1    43:0 | King, and the Great Confusion He Caused 09Draskh1    43:1 | his grandfather and father, since he considered the loss of the 09Draskh1    43:2 | his duties in faithful servitude, he did not wish to take 09Draskh1    43:2 | back from the prince what he had given, nor make meaningless 09Draskh1    43:2 | make meaningless the honors that he had bestowed on him 09Draskh1    43:3 | ready many gifts and prizes, he set forth to go to 09Draskh1    43:3 | offered him the intended gifts, he then brought strong charges against 09Draskh1    43:4 | and gifts befitting royalty, whereby he schemed to dissolve the unanimity 09Draskh1    43:4 | Smbat and Gagik), so that he could easily deceive each one 09Draskh1    43:5 | into the cavities of rocks, he did not reveal the fait 09Draskh1    43:6 | vanquishing the evil with kindness. He did not terminate the payment 09Draskh1    43:8 | of peace with him, before he poured his poison, laid desolate 09Draskh1    43:9 | Although at first he received me cordially, honored me 09Draskh1    43:10 | Thereafter, alienated by fatal perfidy, he seized me and confined me 09Draskh1    43:11 | Out of inexperience and ignorance, he tried to persuade the ostikan 09Draskh1    43:11 | in a cleverly calculated manner, he offered him gifts, and received 09Draskh1    43:11 | befitting his position. From there he returned with the invitation of 09Draskh1    43:12 | and carried out his transactions. He paid the tribute faithfully, as 09Draskh1    43:13 | and ravish everything without discrimination. He was once again crowned by 09Draskh1    43:14 | because I hoped that somehow he might, as his Christian duty 09Draskh1    43:16 | After he had reached the city of 09Draskh1    43:16 | reached the city of Naxjawan, he remained there for a few 09Draskh1    43:17 | Then, like brigands he turned upon the region of 09Draskh1    43:20 | been despoiled or left behind, he put some to the sword 09Draskh1    43:23 | Here he halted along the bank of 09Draskh1    43:25 | arming himself with devious tricks, he sent (envoys) to king Smbat 09Draskh1    43:26 | reproach of God and men, he immediately complied with his demands 09Draskh1    43:27 | On the other hand he incarcerated me in the city 09Draskh1    44:1 | summer season, during which time he made preparation against Smbat, and 09Draskh1    44:2 | mountains and in abysmal valleys, he returned once again to the 09Draskh1    44:3 | Here he was joined by the handsome 09Draskh1    44:4 | Perhaps he thought that like Joseph, who 09Draskh1    44:4 | was generously endowed with grace, he might possibly win over the 09Draskh1    44:4 | in accordance with his dreams, he might store sufficient amount of 09Draskh1    44:5 | acknowledge Joseph, and realized that he was cunningly plotting to torment 09Draskh1    44:5 | being unable to attain what he had sought, he was terrified 09Draskh1    44:5 | attain what he had sought, he was terrified of the raging 09Draskh1    44:6 | in danger of death, because he could not find a way 09Draskh1    44:6 | of disengaging himself (from Yusuf), he was forced contrary to this 09Draskh1    44:6 | the course of their communication, he gradually yielded to him completely 09Draskh1    44:8 | temporary for God, but because he kept me for acquiring gold 09Draskh1    45:3 | some of the insidious treason, he made haste to muster numerous 09Draskh1    45:8 | the army, against his wish he was forced to retreat with 09Draskh1    45:9 | to withstand the multitude alone, he was seized and taken to 09Draskh1    45:11 | inflamed bitterness of his mind, he spread the extensive conflagration throughout 09Draskh1    45:17 | Awake,” He says, “Awake, stand up, and 09Draskh1    45:19 | In a third passage he ( Isaiah) says: “And who shall 09Draskh1    45:22 | in mourning with us when he says, “Judah has fallen, and 09Draskh1    46:6 | Confining some in prison, he gradually executed them by sword 09Draskh1    46:6 | and clubbing; the others, who he made believe were men respected 09Draskh1    46:6 | were men respected by him, he condemned to death secretly. Thus 09Draskh1    46:6 | condemned to death secretly. Thus, he first betrayed prince Grigor, descended 09Draskh1    46:6 | accordance with my earlier account, he had submitted to Yusuf ’s 09Draskh1    46:7 | given the fatal drug, whereupon he died. His body was claimed 09Draskh1    46:8 | the service of the Hagarite. He was buried in Daronk’ among 09Draskh1    46:12 | day when dusk had fallen, he suddenly put to use his 09Draskh1    47:3 | was made aware of this, he gathered his forces and sent 09Draskh1    47:5 | considerable amount of booty which he placed under guard. Then, ransacking 09Draskh1    47:5 | guard. Then, ransacking the country, he followed their trail 09Draskh1    47:8 | who could stand against him, he sent a detachment of wicked 09Draskh1    47:9 | Then, he sent king Gagik together with 09Draskh1    48:4 | still entertained the hope that he could possibly quell the ignited 09Draskh1    48:5 | For he had taken into his confidence 09Draskh1    48:7 | that had come upon us, he gathered numerous forces in order 09Draskh1    48:7 | succor of Smbat, but suddenly he met his death which is 09Draskh1    48:7 | rebellious men, because of which he also could not come to 09Draskh1    48:8 | rather than his. Those whom he loved with friendship dissociated themselves 09Draskh1    48:10 | his own wicked desires. Then he lost the hope of being 09Draskh1    48:11 | Subsequently, he took refuge in the rocky 09Draskh1    48:11 | the valley of Erasxadzor. Here he remained, as the place was 09Draskh1    48:11 | had become more burdensome than he could endure 09Draskh1    48:14 | fight against the fortress, whereas he spared his own men 09Draskh1    48:15 | the verdict on himself, whereby he displayed his concern for the 09Draskh1    48:15 | of Joseph before the Lord, he considered that he alone should 09Draskh1    48:15 | the Lord, he considered that he alone should die, lest the 09Draskh1    48:15 | people might perish. Like Eliezer he preferred death with valor to 09Draskh1    48:16 | ostikan for a solemn oath, he descended to meet him. Thus 09Draskh1    48:16 | descended to meet him. Thus, he saved all of the Christ 09Draskh1    48:17 | man with pleasant words. First, he clothed him in gold-woven 09Draskh1    48:17 | order to show him that he was faithful to his oath 09Draskh1    48:18 | Also as he was struck with the desire 09Draskh1    48:18 | in accordance with his avarice, he suspected that the king might 09Draskh1    48:18 | such equity on his part he might be able to get 09Draskh1    48:18 | it. Secretly devising wicked snares, he thought that he could please 09Draskh1    48:18 | wicked snares, he thought that he could please him like a 09Draskh1    48:19 | his perceptive and keen mind he recognized the sweet (words of 09Draskh1    48:20 | of Dan the plot that he had made came to naught 09Draskh1    48:21 | and suddenly mounting his horse, he fled to his domain. Although 09Draskh1    48:21 | the ostikan assured him that he would be set up as 09Draskh1    48:21 | bitterness of his mind. For he who is afflicted with self 09Draskh1    49:1 | no reason at all. Subsequently, he made a conspiracy to put 09Draskh1    49:5 | torments. Anxious to exact vengeance, he gnashed his teeth at him 09Draskh1    49:6 | He was enfeebled and debilitated by 09Draskh1    49:6 | due to the fact that he fasted more out of his 09Draskh1    49:7 | Thus, in no way was he spared by them even to 09Draskh1    49:7 | to a small degree. Whenever he had the opportunity of being 09Draskh1    49:7 | of struggle against the executioners, he would devote his time to 09Draskh1    49:7 | his unshaken faith in Christ, he became worthy of the mystery 09Draskh1    49:8 | But when he was taken to his execution 09Draskh1    49:8 | sight of the travails that he suffered were much more pitiable 09Draskh1    49:11 | use the above method, and he did not cease breathing, again 09Draskh1    49:11 | on his privy parts, until he breathed his last 09Draskh1    49:12 | decapitated him with a sword. He departed from this life after 09Draskh1    49:13 | the city of Dvin. For he, who had been immersed in 09Draskh1    50:1 | The impious ostikan remained where he was, and putting the fortress 09Draskh1    50:1 | move away from there, until he had stealthily seized the fortress 09Draskh1    50:1 | had stealthily seized the fortress. He opened the gate of destruction 09Draskh1    50:2 | Sahak, the lord of Siwnik’. He transferred the latter from the 09Draskh1    50:9 | first, in a short period, he reconquered and took possession of 09Draskh1    50:10 | He immediately put to the sword 09Draskh1    50:10 | and large amount of provisions, he went in pursuit of the 09Draskh1    50:10 | the fortitude of his heart, he almost recreated the Trojan War 09Draskh1    50:11 | Then, guided by reason, he put his trust in God 09Draskh1    50:11 | in the district of Bagrewand, he put all of them to 09Draskh1    50:12 | Having seized their chief priests, he gave orders to turn them 09Draskh1    50:13 | Then, he set out for the district 09Draskh1    50:14 | Upon his return, he marched to the region of 09Draskh1    50:15 | as if in an ambush— he came upon the army of 09Draskh1    50:15 | capital city of Iberia. Here, he slew some by the sword 09Draskh1    50:15 | them in prison, so that he might be able to liberate 09Draskh1    50:16 | taken much booty and loot, he returned (from there) to the 09Draskh1    50:16 | of the glens of Aghstew, he chose approximately two hundred select 09Draskh1    50:16 | the Ishmaelite forces against whom he fought with great bravery, and 09Draskh1    50:17 | Immediately after this, he went to visit prince Gurgen 09Draskh1    50:17 | their mutual problems, and then he went to the strongholds of 09Draskh1    51:4 | in all of the provinces, he roared in great anger, and 09Draskh1    51:4 | heart rather moderately there. Thereafter, he continued to pursue them to 09Draskh1    51:29 | men snatched him away, lest he might be killed with the 09Draskh1    51:31 | Thus, he presented himself to Christ as 09Draskh1    51:33 | Then, stretching out his arms, he embraced and kissed them frequently 09Draskh1    51:33 | to the impious religion that he himself worshipped 09Draskh1    51:35 | of the supreme judge Christ, he ordered them put to the 09Draskh1    51:36 | pleas to God, so that He might reckon them among the 09Draskh1    51:37 | older brother to the sword, he begged them to kill his 09Draskh1    51:37 | his younger brother first, for he took into consideration that should 09Draskh1    51:37 | should the latter survive him, he might be terrified of the 09Draskh1    51:38 | the direction of his brother, he said, “Dear brother, first you 09Draskh1    51:40 | Thus, he was beheaded, and crowned by 09Draskh1    51:41 | by the same merciless sword. He came back to life in 09Draskh1    53:33 | the covenant of the Lord, He abandoned us 09Draskh1    53:34 | staying in that province. Although he honored me greatly as his 09Draskh1    54:16 | thoughts and ideas, so that he promised to pursue peace, friendship 09Draskh1    54:19 | bitterly, tried to see whom he could swallow 09Draskh1    54:20 | He sent his armies to all 09Draskh1    54:20 | out the wicked schemes that he conceived against king Gagik than 09Draskh1    54:20 | people living in his domain, he went to the mountainous fastnesses 09Draskh1    54:20 | of Mokk’ and Korduk’, where he sheltered the above 09Draskh1    54:21 | He himself as well as his 09Draskh1    54:22 | torrents of wickedness, and as he could not sever his ties 09Draskh1    54:24 | his domain to the other. He was victorious in many a 09Draskh1    54:48 | insolent and impious man, and he, who had pacified the people 09Draskh1    54:49 | In his old age he suffered the toilsome agony of 09Draskh1    54:51 | be found nowhere, so that he may not renew the endangered 09Draskh1    54:57 | and saved me from death. He returned me and those with 09Draskh1    55:1 | my letter to the Emperor, he considered that the wicked calamities 09Draskh1    55:2 | and affectionate tokens of intimacy, he also recalled the memory of 09Draskh1    55:4 | the course of his journey he was treated with much hospitality 09Draskh1    55:4 | in the inns, and then he went to meet the Emperor 09Draskh1    55:5 | the progeny of a king. He treated Ashot almost as his 09Draskh1    55:6 | At the same time, he bestowed on him the title 09Draskh1    55:6 | with gems for his waist. He was honored thus not once 09Draskh1    55:8 | honors on the naxarars whom he had taken with him. Until 09Draskh1    55:23 | in the city of Dvin, he was completely occupied with wicked 09Draskh1    55:23 | with wicked thoughts about how he could sting king Gagik with 09Draskh1    55:24 | as well as confusion, which he stirred up against Yusuf’s governors 09Draskh1    55:24 | and Naxjawan. For several days he fought in armed combat against 09Draskh1    55:25 | solid strength of Gagik, whom he had always spurned as a 09Draskh1    55:25 | a dishonorable and despicable person, he was enraged at this, and 09Draskh1    55:26 | and the district of Tosb, he boasted arrogantly that he would 09Draskh1    55:26 | Tosb, he boasted arrogantly that he would annihilate and utterly destroy 09Draskh1    55:31 | did not trust them, because he always heeded the advice of 09Draskh1    55:32 | When he was about to invade the 09Draskh1    55:32 | invade the region of Vaspurakan, he sent to Atrpatakan in Persia 09Draskh1    55:32 | in the region of Naxjawan. He kept them under guard as 09Draskh1    55:33 | his fear for his family, he received him with honor, set 09Draskh1    55:36 | means of the divine Providence he drove out of his land 09Draskh1    55:37 | He protected himself from all the 09Draskh1    55:38 | of his service to Gagik. He and his land, which is 09Draskh1    56:1 | all the above matters while he was still in the domain 09Draskh1    56:1 | and thoughtful promises of services, he asked for permission from the 09Draskh1    56:1 | return to his ancestral realm. He revealed to the latter that 09Draskh1    56:2 | reins. In addition to these he bestowed on him many treasures 09Draskh1    56:3 | Ashot reached his land, where he subordinated many people under his 09Draskh1    56:4 | Koghb hostilely opposed him, and he could in no way persuade 09Draskh1    56:6 | such insidious snares in mind he crowned the sparapet of Armenia 09Draskh1    56:6 | loins with a sword, whereafter he sent him to his land 09Draskh1    56:10 | bereaved of his child, and he also was given the same 09Draskh1    57:3 | provisions for the soldiers there, he sent his forces to the 09Draskh1    57:3 | provide for their livelihood, until he returned from there 09Draskh1    57:4 | He himself, accompanied by his handsome 09Draskh1    57:11 | Mount Aragac, and turning back he set forth to meet his 09Draskh1    58:1 | had agreed upon, but that he had taken possession of the 09Draskh1    58:3 | latter with only the clothes he had on and his horse 09Draskh1    58:3 | horses, and many mules. Then he returned to the city of 09Draskh1    58:3 | the city of Vagharshapat, where he remained. But the other Ashot 09Draskh1    58:4 | for the deadly perfidy that he committed 09Draskh1    58:9 | father-in-law prince Sahak, he came to the gates of 09Draskh1    58:14 | Gegham as his inheritance, died. He was survived by a son 09Draskh1    59:1 | as all of his troops, he went to the province of 09Draskh1    59:1 | brutal insurrection of Movses, whom he himself had set up as 09Draskh1    59:3 | coming to him en masse, he also gathered a large melange 09Draskh1    59:8 | prince Smbat, with whose help he hoped to be able to 09Draskh1    59:10 | aware of these foreboding things, he immediately made haste to pursue 09Draskh1    59:10 | strong helmet in the middle, he pinned Movses to the ground 09Draskh1    59:10 | the ground. Upon his return, he brought him back, and cauterized 09Draskh1    59:10 | and cauterized his eyes; for he whose blindness is by choice 09Draskh1    59:11 | the district of Shirak, where he summoned with friendly disposition his 09Draskh1    59:11 | disposition his brother Abas, whom he had set up as ’presiding 09Draskh1    59:11 | Gurgen the prince of Iberia. He was not yet aware of 09Draskh1    59:17 | a solemn oath, so that he might rest at ease at 09Draskh1    59:18 | honor, and assured him that he would treat him as his 09Draskh1    59:19 | However, sometime later he was inclined to believe the 09Draskh1    59:20 | Vasak and subordinating his domain, he lay the responsibility on Vasak 09Draskh1    59:20 | the responsibility on Vasak. After he had delayed the matter for 09Draskh1    59:20 | matter for a few days, he consented to release him from 09Draskh1    60:1 | king Gagik’ the crown that he had brought with him, and 09Draskh1    60:2 | him with generous gifts. Moreover, he sent to the caliph a 09Draskh1    60:7 | the gates of Dvin, where he shed much blood, and completely 09Draskh1    60:8 | that time. They demanded that he return to them their hereditary 09Draskh1    60:12 | Dvin to submit to him, he turned his back and went 09Draskh1    60:12 | and went to Iberia, where he took with him Atrnerseh, the 09Draskh1    60:16 | aside the task with which he had been occupied at the 09Draskh1    60:17 | three hundred men, with whom he quickly arrived at Dzorap’or. Here 09Draskh1    60:18 | Then in great haste he had also seized the other 09Draskh1    60:18 | near the time of harvest, he had ordered the harvest prematurely 09Draskh1    60:19 | the paucity of his troops, he set out to meet them 09Draskh1    60:20 | ascended to the top, where he had pitched his camp that 09Draskh1    60:21 | Then, he sent one of the bishops 09Draskh1    60:23 | the words of the envoy, he considered it perhaps not worthy 09Draskh1    60:24 | Having said this, he marshalled all of his forces 09Draskh1    60:24 | men, and driving them forward he advanced them opposite the mound 09Draskh1    60:24 | where the king was stationed. He ordered the infantry to seek 09Draskh1    60:24 | created, and in their rear he marshalled the cavalry armed with 09Draskh1    60:27 | forces that were around him, he left behind the hundreds of 09Draskh1    60:27 | with only two hundred men, he came to confront the enemy 09Draskh1    60:29 | Then he attached the text of the 09Draskh1    60:29 | mantle of the cross which he was wont to carry before 09Draskh1    60:30 | the twinkling of an eye, he drove every one away from 09Draskh1    60:33 | by such a mindless apprehension, he blinded both of them without 09Draskh1    61:1 | royal forces more than once, he was unable to stand against 09Draskh1    61:8 | when king Gagik saw this, he wisely reasoned that he could 09Draskh1    61:8 | this, he wisely reasoned that he could not prevail against Subuki 09Draskh1    61:9 | Thereupon, he sent a certain Georg Hawnuni 09Draskh1    62:1 | Shamshulde, and the treason that he had devised came to naught 09Draskh1    62:1 | devised came to naught. (Thereupon) he turned his back on Ashot 09Draskh1    62:1 | the great fortress, provided that he would give him in return 09Draskh1    62:4 | As soon as he had met prince Gurgen, the 09Draskh1    62:5 | to hand it over until he had restored Vasak to them 09Draskh1    62:7 | fortress even to Ashot, before he had restored Vasak to them 09Draskh1    62:8 | guards with many oaths that he would return Vasak to them 09Draskh1    62:8 | return Vasak to them, and he was invited by them to 09Draskh1    62:11 | against each other. Thereupon, even he aimed his attacks from below 09Draskh1    62:14 | him, and as soon as he had entered, he had all 09Draskh1    62:14 | soon as he had entered, he had all the forces of 09Draskh1    62:15 | the propitious Providence of God he gradually became more powerful 09Draskh1    63:1 | with harsh words those whom he had subordinated. If there were 09Draskh1    63:1 | people who entertained arrogant thoughts, he took note and curbing their 09Draskh1    63:2 | Then he levied troops from among them 09Draskh1    63:2 | district of Kotayk’, from where he immediately sent an advance dispatch 09Draskh1    63:3 | He also made a solemn oath 09Draskh1    63:7 | While he was still on his way 09Draskh1    63:7 | was still on his way, he was confronted by sad tidings 09Draskh1    63:8 | and disgraced his own domain, he decided to enter the service 09Draskh1    63:8 | of the land of Gamirk’. He also won over to his 09Draskh1    63:9 | Tawush ready for immediate use, he placed his family in the 09Draskh1    63:9 | that unoccupied (with such concerns), he and his men might be 09Draskh1    63:10 | to the province of Uti, he saw that the majority of 09Draskh1    63:11 | catastrophe became clear to him, he withdrew and came to the 09Draskh1    63:11 | giving him the assurance that he could with absolute confidence count 09Draskh1    63:11 | former treaty of friendship, whereby he could expect to acquire desirable 09Draskh1    63:12 | Subsequently, he gave Ashot much assistance, and 09Draskh1    63:12 | shields, weapons, ornaments and spears, he handed them over to him 09Draskh1    63:12 | so that with their help he might exact vengeance on his 09Draskh1    63:13 | to fight like one man he might be able to find 09Draskh1    63:15 | in combat with the enemy, he led away his forces and 09Draskh1    63:18 | Ashot became aware of this, he was struck with great fear 09Draskh1    63:18 | to go from there wherever he could 09Draskh1    63:21 | It seems to me that he turned his mind, which was 09Draskh1    63:21 | the manner of the Pharisees, he enforced his arrogant will (on 09Draskh1    63:21 | perhaps for this reason that he brought upon himself this condemnation 09Draskh1    64:1 | benefit of the people. For he strove heartily to keep himself 09Draskh1    64:2 | way, through his innate genius, he was able to please all 09Draskh1    64:2 | his neighbors and relatives, whom he had bound to himself in 09Draskh1    64:3 | He won over to his side 09Draskh1    64:3 | wicked and hostile to peace, he waged destructive war, and fell 09Draskh1    64:3 | them with great forces, until he had brought them to submission 09Draskh1    64:4 | Nevertheless, he did not disobey the caliph 09Draskh1    64:4 | taxes, though against his will, he was able to please the 09Draskh1    64:5 | He acted accordingly for many years 09Draskh1    64:6 | retaliation for the distress that he had caused them 09Draskh1    64:9 | Armenia, Georgia, and Albania, whom he himself had seized and brought 09Draskh1    64:9 | former position of authority, because, he argued, Yusuf was an ingenious 09Draskh1    64:10 | He also maintained that Yusuf had 09Draskh1    64:10 | his (caliph’s) instructions, so that he would not commit any error 09Draskh1    64:10 | rising in rebellion, and that he was the man who could 09Draskh1    64:11 | Thus he persuaded the caliph, who gave 09Draskh1    64:12 | passed through many places until he quickly reached the province of 09Draskh1    64:13 | been informed of his coming, he anticipated it by forcing all 09Draskh1    64:13 | taking the refugees with him, he sheltered them in the secure 09Draskh1    64:13 | of Kogovit and Caghkotn, whereat he consoled himself as follows: “Although 09Draskh1    64:16 | of Andzewac’ik’ pitched camp there. He did not raise any wicked 09Draskh1    64:16 | serpent that releases its venom, he sent envoys to prince Atom 09Draskh1    64:16 | him, so that receiving these he might go away and leave 09Draskh1    64:17 | prince assumed that through prudence he could turn the oncoming oppressive 09Draskh1    64:17 | immediately paid as much as he could, twice the amount that 09Draskh1    64:17 | could, twice the amount that he owed. He also gave him 09Draskh1    64:17 | the amount that he owed. He also gave him copious gratuities 09Draskh1    64:18 | Having taken these, he marched in the direction of 09Draskh1    64:18 | the district of Aghbak, where he saw the whole country deserted 09Draskh1    64:19 | But when he realized fully that he could 09Draskh1    64:19 | when he realized fully that he could not carry out the 09Draskh1    64:19 | out the wicked plans which he had devised (in his mind 09Draskh1    64:19 | true color of his soul, he assumed the familiar white complexion 09Draskh1    64:20 | However, as he was avaricious and greedy, he 09Draskh1    64:20 | he was avaricious and greedy, he demanded the royal tributes for 09Draskh1    64:20 | as personal gratuities for himself. He also reminded Gagik of the 09Draskh1    64:20 | Gagik of the gratitude that he owed him for his coronation 09Draskh1    64:22 | With suitable prudence he kept wicked thoughts out of 09Draskh1    64:22 | carnage in vindictive retaliation, for he maintained that “the outcome of 09Draskh1    64:23 | Subsequently, he put unsparingly at Yusuf’s disposal 09Draskh1    64:23 | well as horses and mules, he gave these to him together 09Draskh1    64:24 | sic) of Rotakk’. But as he himself was headed for the 09Draskh1    64:24 | Ray, which is in Persia, he sent a certain man by 09Draskh1    64:24 | people, as ostikan to Armenia. He himself remained (in Rotakk’), until 09Draskh1    64:24 | himself remained (in Rotakk’), until he had set up ostikans, deputies 09Draskh1    65:1 | the city of Naxjawan, where he remained for a number of 09Draskh1    65:1 | his wife was there, and he succumbed to the delights of 09Draskh1    65:2 | prince of Sisakan, confronted him. He entertained in his mind foolish 09Draskh1    65:2 | mind foolish dreams, thinking that he might be able, by making 09Draskh1    65:2 | his paternal inheritance, of which he considered himself deprived because it 09Draskh1    65:3 | grant him his inheritance. For he expected and waited also for 09Draskh1    65:3 | the same purpose, so that he ( Nasr) might rob both of 09Draskh1    65:4 | a certain state of lethargy, he made a treaty with hell 09Draskh1    65:7 | But as he realized that ready-made success 09Draskh1    65:7 | success had come to him, he set aside the concealment of 09Draskh1    65:7 | forty in number, in prison. He remained that day at the 09Draskh1    65:7 | day at the place where he had spent the night 09Draskh1    65:8 | shed the darkness of night, he mounted the captives on camels 09Draskh1    65:8 | entered the city of Dvin. He took with him Sahak the 09Draskh1    65:9 | As soon as he had entered the city, he 09Draskh1    65:9 | he had entered the city, he put the heathen captives in 09Draskh1    65:9 | heathen captives in prison. Then, he bound with ropes both Sahak 09Draskh1    65:21 | of the horrible afflictions that he had inflicted on certain others 09Draskh1    65:22 | such agonies, and that should he assure me with a solemn 09Draskh1    65:23 | that could be trusted. Thus, he freed my mind from all 09Draskh1    66:1 | heathen sect. In this way he made the bizarre outbursts of 09Draskh1    66:2 | is not fitting for you,” he maintained, “to come to terms 09Draskh1    66:8 | latter’s mind to bizarre thoughts. He immediately set as his goal 09Draskh1    66:20 | into the truth of which he had penetrated. He entreated the 09Draskh1    66:20 | of which he had penetrated. He entreated the clerics together with 09Draskh1    66:22 | He will give you fortitude to 09Draskh1    66:23 | Thus he ignited their minds as if 09Draskh1    66:24 | the awesome sacrifice to Christ, he apportioned the salutary mystery among 09Draskh1    66:26 | God in the hope that he might come to their succor 09Draskh1    66:29 | He also exhorted the people in 09Draskh1    66:37 | tears and implorations, so that He might not deprive them of 09Draskh1    66:42 | execution, for prior to that he had been wounded by the 09Draskh1    66:43 | sought to behead him, yet, he was in no way afflicted 09Draskh1    66:43 | result of his youth did he break into tears in distress 09Draskh1    66:44 | Thus, they beheaded him. He set the seal of death 09Draskh1    66:52 | us; in a miraculous manner he lived in flesh like an 09Draskh1    66:54 | unbearable horror of death, for he was conspicuous among the clerics 09Draskh1    66:55 | He did not withstand the evil 09Draskh1    66:55 | and leaving behind everything that he possessed, set out to come 09Draskh1    66:55 | come to us. It was he who narrated to us one 09Draskh1    66:60 | of God, and the spoils, he was greatly pleased and rejoiced 09Draskh1    66:60 | and rejoiced at these. Then he immediately gave orders to dismiss 09Draskh1    66:65 | to the ostikan so that he might repay them for their 09Draskh1    66:66 | recompensation for their services, but he immediately ordered them put to 09Draskh1    67:2 | until his return from there, he himself set out in compliance 09Draskh1    67:3 | But Bishr, whom he had left behind him, gathered 09Draskh1    67:3 | Mazaz built by Gegham, because he resented the fact that the 09Draskh1    67:4 | Bishr could not attain what he wanted. Thenceforth, he thought of 09Draskh1    67:4 | attain what he wanted. Thenceforth, he thought of attacking the district 09Draskh1    67:6 | placing his trust in God, he applied himself to the pursuit 09Draskh1    67:7 | Then, at a gallop he fell bravely and valiantly upon 09Draskh1    67:9 | death, and having beheaded them, he brought their heads with him 09Draskh1    67:9 | of his escape as if he had attained victory by personal 09Draskh1    67:10 | After halting for many days, he led a large force, twice 09Draskh1    67:10 | them with horses and arms, he set out to go to 09Draskh1    67:10 | isle of Sewan, so that he might make an unexpected assault 09Draskh1    67:11 | powerful force at his threshold, he immediately launched eleven ships, with 09Draskh1    67:12 | Finally, he also went on board with 09Draskh1    67:13 | fortress of K’egh so that he might launch an unexpected attack 09Draskh1    67:14 | Yet, here also he could not do anything, for 09Draskh1    67:14 | be in the fortress. When he noticed the multitude that had 09Draskh1    67:14 | the gate of the fortress, he put on his armor and 09Draskh1    67:14 | cavalry forces (of the enemy), he slashed Bishr’s steed with his 09Draskh1    67:17 | He bestowed frequent favors on me 09Draskh1    67:19 | Together with his brother Gurgen he protected me with undeniable love 09Draskh1    67:20 | Also he turned to his customary and 09Draskh1    67:20 | assured us with certainty that he would see to it, to 09Draskh1    67:23 | However, when he noticed that Smbat had taken 09Draskh1    67:23 | cavalry contingents and with fortifications, he offered him conditions of peace 09Draskh1    67:23 | him conditions of peace. After he had received many gifts from 09Draskh1    67:23 | many gifts from prince Smbat, he also agreed to release his 09Draskh1    67:24 | As soon as he had received the discharge of 09Draskh1    67:24 | brother whose name was Babgen, he released and sent him to 09Draskh1    67:24 | prison his brother Sahak until he had received the promised payment 09Draskh1    67:24 | promised payment in dahekans. Then, he would release and restore him 09Draskh1    67:25 | they remembered the threats that he had made, and struck with 09Draskh1    67:27 | been evacuated by its inhabitants, he seized it and took possession 09Draskh1    67:27 | of it without any difficulty; he also subjugated all the villages 09Draskh1    68:6 | each and every account as he reads my presentation; and thus 09Draskh1    68:6 | my presentation; and thus far he shall be satisfied 09Draskh1    68:21 | you shall know Him as He knew you 10Tovma1    1:6 | later that Ninos built Nineveh? He was the husband of Semiramis 10Tovma1    1:10 | seized for himself the kingdom, he did not allow any (descendant 10Tovma1    1:13 | in the birth of Christ, he is included in the genealogy 10Tovma1    1:13 | out from beginning to end; he says “as was supposed” Jesus 10Tovma1    1:14 | Ninos on the grounds that he had come as a foreigner 10Tovma1    1:15 | ancestral kingdom with great power. He captured Babylon and built Tarsus 10Tovma1    1:17 | Nebrot had destroyed Nineveh when he overthrew the (descendants) of Sem 10Tovma1    1:17 | place, when Ninos became king he captured Babylon and rebuilt Nineveh 10Tovma1    1:24 | inconceivable grace, glory, and honour he ( God) crowned man with sovereign 10Tovma1    1:25 | service made like an offering he might thereby be raised to 10Tovma1    1:26 | But he gave way to the seduction 10Tovma1    1:26 | of the foolish woman. Thereby he trampled on the kindly benefits 10Tovma1    1:26 | call him deceitful and stupid. He was not content, for himself 10Tovma1    1:27 | plan and foolish decision, whereby he forgot his composition of dust 10Tovma1    1:27 | his awesome God and Creator. He who sees all at a 10Tovma1    1:27 | lost one. With soft footsteps he indicated to him his approach 10Tovma1    1:27 | that perchance with His help he might be cared for 10Tovma1    1:28 | But he, unreasonably refusing the direct recognition 10Tovma1    1:29 | respond that in every way he is incurable by good; not 10Tovma1    1:29 | a single honourable aspect does he have—if one were to 10Tovma1    1:30 | the occasion of this transgression he had the most wisdom of 10Tovma1    1:31 | till the earth from which he had been taken. So what 10Tovma1    1:31 | in the image of God, he was rendered shadowy; set on 10Tovma1    1:31 | rendered shadowy; set on high, he was brought low; sharer in 10Tovma1    1:31 | immortal life, through the curse he was made dust; established in 10Tovma1    1:31 | dust; established in lord-ship, he was laid low with multifarious 10Tovma1    1:31 | laid low with multifarious evils. He became the servant of woes 10Tovma1    1:32 | honour and did not understand; he became equal to the irrational 10Tovma1    1:33 | she conceived and bore Cain. He called him “acquired” and “through 10Tovma1    1:33 | acquired” and “through God”; but ( he was) not a worthy heir 10Tovma1    1:33 | the prescient spirit of God he said he was his son 10Tovma1    1:33 | spirit of God he said he was his son, for he 10Tovma1    1:33 | he was his son, for he would see with his own 10Tovma1    1:37 | Thirdly, his barbarous deceit, that he in despair led him aside 10Tovma1    1:39 | Fifthly, because he filled his parents with incomprehensible 10Tovma1    1:40 | Sixthly, because he masked his soul in the 10Tovma1    1:40 | answered with brazen face, when he asked him: “Where is your 10Tovma1    1:41 | Seventhly, when he heard the sentence of his 10Tovma1    1:41 | his retribution from the Lord, he did not turn in terror 10Tovma1    1:41 | to efface his sin, but he sealed the judgment of his 10Tovma1    1:41 | the Lord, with pointless effort he built a city, not considered 10Tovma1    1:42 | When Adam was [230] years old he begat Seth, which in the 10Tovma1    1:42 | him does (Scripture) add that: “ He begat according to his form 10Tovma1    1:43 | When Seth was [205] years old he begat Enos. The latter had 10Tovma1    1:43 | God. By what example was he emboldened to this? For he 10Tovma1    1:43 | he emboldened to this? For he learned from his father to 10Tovma1    1:43 | of Seth “sons of God.” He was given a command not 10Tovma1    1:43 | cursed descendants of Cain. Thereby he came to know the honour 10Tovma1    1:44 | When Enos was [190] years old he begat Cainan. When Cainan was 10Tovma1    1:44 | When Cainan was [170] years old he begat Malaliel. And in the 10Tovma1    1:44 | same life through repentance. And ( he taught them) to be a 10Tovma1    1:46 | Malaliel was [165] years old when he begat Jared. Jared was [162] years 10Tovma1    1:46 | Jared was [162] years old when he begat Enoch—who received the 10Tovma1    1:46 | ultimate gift of God’s grace: he was inscribed in the ranks 10Tovma1    1:46 | alive. But before his transfer he made known the exterminating anger 10Tovma1    1:47 | works of impiety.” Here too he mentions their blasphemous habits and 10Tovma1    1:48 | the number of the seventh he said to be eight by 10Tovma1    1:48 | to me (to be) because he reckoned the just Abel in 10Tovma1    1:48 | the same list. But why ( he is not counted) in the 10Tovma1    1:49 | Enoch was [165] years old when he begat Mathusala, and he lived 10Tovma1    1:49 | when he begat Mathusala, and he lived in the latter’s lifetime 10Tovma1    1:50 | Mathusala was [165] years old when he begat Lamech. Lamech was [188] years 10Tovma1    1:50 | Lamech was [188] years old when he begat Noah, and he lived 10Tovma1    1:50 | when he begat Noah, and he lived in the latter’s lifetime 10Tovma1    1:50 | Noah was [500] years old when he received the command to make 10Tovma1    1:51 | When the sons of God, he says, saw the daughters of 10Tovma1    1:52 | keep away from them, whereby he reveals their ruinous corruption. He 10Tovma1    1:52 | he reveals their ruinous corruption. He ( God) was cast into despair 10Tovma1    1:52 | by the fact that whereas he had shown in them his 10Tovma1    1:54 | vicious. So God repented that he had created man 10Tovma1    1:55 | He reflected in his heart, he 10Tovma1    1:55 | He reflected in his heart, he who knows and sees all 10Tovma1    1:55 | about; and with human voice he indicated his disowning (of them 10Tovma1    1:55 | to their complete destruction. So he commanded the just one to 10Tovma1    1:56 | one overcame his righteous anger. He temporarily postponed the threatened punishment 10Tovma1    1:58 | them; but being naturally good, he remained in his unchanging nature 10Tovma1    1:58 | of a sinner but that he may turn from his wicked 10Tovma1    1:60 | Noah drank wine; and because he was inexperienced in the matter 10Tovma1    1:60 | was inexperienced in the matter, he became drunk 10Tovma1    1:62 | complained after a hundred years, he was commanded by the only 10Tovma1    1:71 | He who received the offerings promised 10Tovma1    1:73 | follower of the holy apostles, he provided the church with many 10Tovma1    1:74 | land of his inheritance.

He was arrogant and confident in 10Tovma1    2:6 | Although he escaped the punishment of the 10Tovma1    2:6 | Bel: that in one night he ate twelve measures of flour 10Tovma1    2:6 | you not see how much he eats and drinks 10Tovma1    2:9 | take from his mouth what he has swallowed.” For certain phantoms 10Tovma1    2:10 | in Babylon with mighty power.

He disclaimed the hunter (descended from 10Tovma1    2:15 | himself from Bel and Babylon, he came to eastern Asia.

He reigned over Assyria, and for 10Tovma1    3:9 | a while also over Armenia. He had no interest in expanding 10Tovma1    3:10 | eastern Persia, from then on he no more imposed tribute on 10Tovma1    3:10 | being very ancient and obscure, he composed a new fable about 10Tovma1    3:10 | that in doctrine and repute he might no more be said 10Tovma1    3:10 | any connection with the Assyrians. He was perverse enough to say 10Tovma1    3:11 | The latter, he said, desired to become father 10Tovma1    3:11 | him: “Who are you?” And he replied: “I am your son 10Tovma1    3:11 | I am your son Ormizd.” He note: “My son Ormizd is 10Tovma1    3:11 | and evil-loving.” But since he greatly importuned him, he gave 10Tovma1    3:11 | since he greatly importuned him, he gave him power for a 10Tovma1    3:11 | years Ormizd was born, and he said to his brother: “For 10Tovma1    3:13 | most ridiculous and say that he was a foolish king, tell 10Tovma1    3:14 | seeking food.

So, he returned to that spot for 10Tovma1    8:2 | As it pleased him, he built a palace of rough 10Tovma1    8:3 | spreading lake. Around the shores he built vast estates, with bushy 10Tovma1    8:4 | round the wall he established thickly planted gardens, blooming 10Tovma1    8:5 | Around the fortress-like palace he encircled the hill with a 10Tovma1    8:5 | city. Above the gushing spring he also walled in the steep 10Tovma1    8:5 | the source of water; and he strengthened the wall around the 10Tovma1    8:5 | secure and inaccessible to attackers. He set it out with delightful 10Tovma1    8:6 | down from the three hills he built a high tower with 10Tovma1    8:6 | centre; on top of it he set the image of Astłik 10Tovma1    8:6 | idols.

For that reason he was able to keep the 10Tovma1    8:18 | land of Ałbag. Just as he did for Sahak, so he 10Tovma1    8:18 | he did for Sahak, so he did for Hamam 10Tovma1    8:19 | and languid way of life, he appointed him overseer of the 10Tovma1    8:19 | the royal court, so that he might imbue the king’s employees 10Tovma1    8:21 | and his war in Syria. He went, and on his return 10Tovma1    8:21 | King Artashēs dead in Marand.

They applied to the 10Tovma1    9:3 | emperor Valerian to see if he could revenge the blood of 10Tovma1    10:2 | baptised Tirots’ son of Babgēn [II]. He was a mild man, intelligent 10Tovma1    10:4 | his modest and humble character he willingly undertook (this) and did 10Tovma1    10:4 | sit in the first rank, he never claimed honourable and superior 10Tovma1    10:7 | author of our illumination, as he relates at the end of 10Tovma1    10:8 | Constantius.

He had reigned for sixteen years 10Tovma1    10:16 | around himself the Armenian nobility, he learned about the Artsruni and 10Tovma1    10:17 | about the causes of this, he wrote via a certain Vahan 10Tovma1    10:17 | Received by King Arshak as he had written via Vahan, they 10Tovma1    10:19 | an insolent and shameless dog he drew his tongue over the 10Tovma1    10:20 | Approaching King Arshak he note: “The former kings were 10Tovma1    10:21 | this evil and immoral proposition he heaped strong and violent curses 10Tovma1    10:22 | one’s heart, and falling backwards he breathed out his soul into 10Tovma1    10:23 | accomplishing the task without delay. He received his just reward according 10Tovma1    10:25 | battle when Saint Nersēs interposed; he calmed and pacified the quarrel 10Tovma1    10:26 | between Valens and Arshak—which he did indeed bring about. But 10Tovma1    10:26 | heed Saint Nersēs, nor did he submit himself to the king 10Tovma1    10:26 | himself to the king; but he offered foul enticements to Vahan 10Tovma1    10:29 | had been done between them. He went, following the summons and 10Tovma1    10:30 | There he lived until his death at 10Tovma1    10:37 | the Mazdaeans and Aryans. Everywhere he is the cause of the 10Tovma1    10:37 | the king of kings; and he dishonours fire and holds the 10Tovma1    10:38 | fight, like a brave shepherd he gave himself for his flock 10Tovma1    10:40 | Armenia and Syria and Palestine.

Furthermore, he 10Tovma1    10:45 | he killed him instantly. Furthermore, he also slew his mother Tachatuhi 10Tovma1    10:45 | had both forsworn Christ. Then he himself fled from Persia to 10Tovma1    10:46 | plans) to rule over Armenia. He amassed around him a vast 10Tovma1    10:46 | in the province of Bagrevand, he wished to pass on to 10Tovma1    10:48 | came to grips with Mehuzhan. He hamstrung his armed horse, cast 10Tovma1    10:48 | until it was red-hot, he set it on the head 10Tovma1    11:2 | being rebuked by Saint Nersēs, he surreptitiously gave him a mortal 10Tovma1    11:4 | at the emperor’s command, after he had reigned for six years 10Tovma1    11:6 | into both great and small. He rebelled against the emperor and 10Tovma1    11:6 | Shapuh, king of kings, that he would submit to him 10Tovma1    11:7 | As ambassador he sent to Shapuh the brother 10Tovma1    11:7 | to confirm that intention. When he came to Shapuh, he reminded 10Tovma1    11:7 | When he came to Shapuh, he reminded him about his own 10Tovma1    11:7 | own blood relative Mehuzhan: how he had been sincerely loyal to 10Tovma1    11:7 | the valiant Smbat Mamikonean. Thus he incited the king to carry 10Tovma1    11:8 | was delivered to Varazdat that he should present himself without delay 10Tovma1    11:8 | should present himself without delay. He ( the emperor) had him sent 10Tovma1    11:8 | islands of the Ocean where he died, having reigned for four 10Tovma1    11:9 | emperor and the Armenian nobles, he returned no more to Armenia 10Tovma1    11:13 | learned what Arshak had done, he made a certain Khosrov from 10Tovma1    11:13 | reason for their emigration. For ( he said): “I have appointed a 10Tovma1    11:17 | his inheritance and his rank. He divided his attention between the 10Tovma1    11:17 | craftily uncommitted: with the Christians he pretended to be a Christian 10Tovma1    11:18 | his trust in the Greeks, he promised to submit the whole 10Tovma1    11:18 | after the death of Aspurakēs he had elevated Saint Sahak, son 10Tovma1    11:18 | Removing Khosrov from the throne, he appointed in his stead Valarsh 10Tovma1    11:20 | armour in front of him, he stripped himself of his military 10Tovma1    11:21 | Even more did he lament and bewail unconsolably over 10Tovma1    11:22 | of the monastic state so he could adopt the life of 10Tovma1    11:25 | He was succeeded by his son 10Tovma1    11:27 | family. But in order that he might henceforth better be able 10Tovma1    11:27 | Armenian army with the nobles, he made king over them his 10Tovma1    11:27 | his own son Shapuh. When he arrived he did not care 10Tovma1    11:27 | son Shapuh. When he arrived he did not care for the 10Tovma1    11:28 | that puffed up by this he might be audacious enough to 10Tovma1    11:28 | fire. Again in their exchange he called him effeminate. Then Atom 10Tovma1    11:30 | galloped off; boldly and openly he went at measured pace over 10Tovma1    11:30 | of the emperor, Theodosius Caesar, he appointed him hazarapet of the 10Tovma1    11:31 | heard of his father’s illness, he hastened to Persia.

Quickly he summoned back to court Artashir 10Tovma1    11:38 | a host of Armenian nobles. He questioned them as to why 10Tovma1    11:39 | scandalmongering to the effect that he did not wish the Persians 10Tovma1    11:39 | military service on them, but he preferred to see the rule 10Tovma1    11:42 | their request. In his suspicion he vacillated, wondering “lest perchance if 10Tovma1    11:43 | it might please him. So he appointed that Samuel to the 10Tovma1    11:43 | the archiepiscopate. After five years he died, having lived a life 10Tovma1    11:45 | from him a monk’s habit, he went to dwell alone in 10Tovma1    11:45 | where Saint Mesrop had taught; he lived an ascetic and angelic 10Tovma1    11:47 | But he would not listen to them 10Tovma1    11:47 | not listen to them. (Then he told them) the details of 10Tovma1    11:47 | according to his deeds—which he had seen on Holy Thursday 10Tovma1    11:51 | and the torrents of Jermadzor. He lived in a fortress which 10Tovma1    11:52 | by the providence of God he could control Armenia 10Tovma1    11:53 | He summoned to himself the bishop 10Tovma1    11:53 | bishop of Andzevats’ik’, Shmavon. And he established groups of ministers to 10Tovma1    11:55 | He lived a full [120] years (and 10Tovma2    1:1 | Armenia. Pursuing this foolish plan he went to the Persian king 10Tovma2    1:1 | his stupid vainglorious desire. Then he returned to Armenia, bringing with 10Tovma2    1:4 | and the ruin of Armenia, he hastily sent a letter of 10Tovma2    1:6 | sword) with force and rapidity he sliced Shavasp in two 10Tovma2    1:9 | him king over Armenia as he was a spirited and powerful 10Tovma2    1:12 | He began to assail the nobles 10Tovma2    1:15 | division.

He wrote to the regions of 10Tovma2    2:3 | Furthermore, he wrote to the district of 10Tovma2    2:5 | book of Armenian history which he had written on the command 10Tovma2    2:5 | command of Saint Vardan, and he fulfilled his request 10Tovma2    2:6 | him (Bartsuma) sent word that he was to leave the territory 10Tovma2    2:6 | was to leave the territory.

He expunged from the history book 10Tovma2    2:9 | ruled the Greeks (after) Theodosius [II]; he summoned the council of [636] bishops 10Tovma2    2:16 | In response he told them not to yield 10Tovma2    2:16 | it before the emperor. Then he, realising that their minds were 10Tovma2    2:18 | religious austerity and angelic virtue, he left this world for the 10Tovma2    3:2 | the great river called Vahrot; he also seized for himself the 10Tovma2    3:5 | sent him his nephew Philipikos; he had him take a letter 10Tovma2    3:5 | from him an oath.

He did not respond to Heraclius’s 10Tovma2    3:21 | besieged it. For nineteen days he attacked Jerusalem, then destroyed the 10Tovma2    3:27 | misfortunes that had befallen him, he unwillingly decided to offer friendship 10Tovma2    3:27 | honour them as meritorious guests, he received them with splendid presents 10Tovma2    3:28 | Then boarding a ship, he went to the middle of 10Tovma2    3:28 | do you intend to do,” he said, “and why have you 10Tovma2    3:28 | thereon?

He is the cause of all 10Tovma2    6:33 | lamentation at the royal gate, he roared like a lion or 10Tovma2    6:33 | or like a disturbed bear. He flamed like a fiery furnace 10Tovma2    6:33 | sea tinged with purple blood. He uttered a great cry like 10Tovma2    6:34 | by choler, his mind stupified, he was plunged into great anxiety 10Tovma2    6:34 | plunged into great anxiety as he sought a solution to the 10Tovma2    6:34 | this grievous news to him.

For he counted on his fellow warriors 10Tovma3    2:46 | general to abandon the plans he had formed, disengage the warfare 10Tovma3    2:46 | warfare, and soothe the turbulence: he could do whatever he wished 10Tovma3    2:46 | turbulence: he could do whatever he wished according to his desire 10Tovma3    2:52 | perhaps under cover of night he will come upon you and 10Tovma3    2:53 | For he is a valiant man and 10Tovma3    2:54 | came from court before. For he was unable to resist them 10Tovma3    2:55 | secret message of the nobles he cast his response also in 10Tovma3    2:55 | Confirming it with an oath, he note: “Whatever you wish and 10Tovma3    2:56 | accordance with his orders. So he told them: “Arise, go to 10Tovma3    2:59 | disobeying and neglecting his orders, he responded: “What is this that 10Tovma3    2:62 | my love,’ and what he says later as compensation for 10Tovma3    2:70 | has trouble in restraining (you), he may multiply the harm for 10Tovma3    2:71 | On hearing this he ( Ashot) realised their confirmed treachery 10Tovma3    2:71 | Raising his eyes to God he prayed; he ate a little 10Tovma3    2:71 | eyes to God he prayed; he ate a little bread and 10Tovma3    2:71 | sorrowfully to his family.

In deep distress, he groaned and sighed in his 10Tovma3    2:74 | Going outside the camp, he wept copious tears over the 10Tovma3    2:74 | and the other nobles. But he was quite unable to help 10Tovma3    2:74 | command of the impious caliph. He burned and seethed secretly in 10Tovma3    2:75 | Then he boldly entered the tyrant’s hall 10Tovma3    2:75 | before the general without flinching, he note: “Since I have found 10Tovma3    2:76 | oath to give him whatever he might request, as far as 10Tovma3    2:77 | But he ( Smbat) paid no heed to 10Tovma3    2:77 | for it is transitory; rather he sought to be the cause 10Tovma3    2:77 | seized by thieves. “Give me,” he said, “as many of those 10Tovma3    2:78 | Immediately and with unhesitant rapidity he ordered that no one could 10Tovma3    2:78 | prevent Smbat (from taking) whomever he pleased 10Tovma3    2:79 | And he gave him messengers, lightly armed 10Tovma3    2:79 | men with maces, so that he might take the captives of 10Tovma3    2:79 | Vaspurakan from the camp as he wished 10Tovma3    2:80 | So he removed them and brought them 10Tovma3    2:81 | Isaiah was fulfilled in Smbat: “ He shall send to them a 10Tovma3    2:81 | will deliver them.” And again: “ He will bring back the captivity 10Tovma3    2:82 | So he ( Bugha) dismissed him to his 10Tovma3    3:1 | their families were in bonds, he ( Bugha) formed a detachment of 10Tovma3    3:2 | camels under tent-like canopies.

But he rushed to the righthand side 10Tovma3    4:10 | holding the sword above him, he cried out loudly: “Oh Muslim 10Tovma3    4:10 | and to no purpose?” But he shouted: “I am a Christian 10Tovma3    4:10 | you are a Muslim.” But he even more readily cried out 10Tovma3    4:13 | And he ran through the camp, shouting 10Tovma3    4:16 | his people.” A little later he says: “As for the foreigners 10Tovma3    4:19 | But to us he is known for his saying 10Tovma3    4:20 | more than fifteen thousand men. He sent them in pursuit of 10Tovma3    4:20 | pursuit of Gurgēn, that wherever he might be they were to 10Tovma3    4:21 | But he ( Gurgēn) crossed to the province 10Tovma3    4:22 | the Armenian troops with him. He had sent his mother, the 10Tovma3    4:22 | general Bugha so that henceforth he and his land might have 10Tovma3    4:22 | his land might have peace: he would deliver into his hands 10Tovma3    4:22 | exchange for his brother, while he and all his would render 10Tovma3    4:25 | He ordered her to be left 10Tovma3    4:28 | each other in peaceable friendliness; he would be honoured by them 10Tovma3    4:28 | at the general’s orders, and he would rule in his brother’s 10Tovma3    4:29 | But he sent as messenger to them 10Tovma3    4:30 | him back to say that he ( Gurgēn) should come to them 10Tovma3    4:30 | same thing with oaths, that he should come to them fearlessly 10Tovma3    4:31 | Then he entrusted his forces to Musheł 10Tovma3    4:31 | the greatest nobles restrained him he would heed no one, so 10Tovma3    4:31 | into tears and wept. Before he reached the (enemy) generals but 10Tovma3    4:31 | they had decided that if he were to follow the messengers 10Tovma3    4:37 | intention of the (enemy) army. He was still on horseback when 10Tovma3    4:37 | they rushed on the camp. He commanded (everyone) to arm and 10Tovma3    4:38 | He himself anxiously made haste to 10Tovma3    4:38 | him his best horse; mounting, he rushed off after Gurgēn. On 10Tovma3    4:38 | after Gurgēn. On coming near he uncovered his sword, helmet, and 10Tovma3    4:38 | sword, helmet, and cuirass which he had put on, and shouted 10Tovma3    4:38 | steed, and his rapid gallop, he might be warned, turn at 10Tovma3    4:38 | the destructive course on which he was bent that would cast 10Tovma3    4:39 | It happened that he ( Gurgēn) raised his eyes, saw 10Tovma3    4:39 | messenger of grievous news; “for he has a naked sword in 10Tovma3    4:39 | pursues us all by himself.” He turned his horse’s bridle towards 10Tovma3    4:43 | not heed his request. Although he promised to give them treasures 10Tovma3    4:44 | the Armenian commander realised that he was unable by any means 10Tovma3    4:44 | a line against the Muslims. He himself raised his hands to 10Tovma3    4:55 | of infantry; the right wing he had entrusted to Apdlmkdēm 10Tovma3    4:64 | and stood in the ranks. He wore around himself a garment 10Tovma3    4:64 | star. In his right hand he had a sword and in 10Tovma3    4:65 | He was mounted on a white 10Tovma3    4:65 | was a sweet smell as he wafted the smoke around their 10Tovma3    5:6 | Then once more he despatched Hamdoy the Persian emir 10Tovma3    5:8 | When he had read the letter and 10Tovma3    5:8 | of ambitious glory—of which he was frustrated 10Tovma3    5:9 | As he approached the camp the various 10Tovma3    5:9 | army deployed before him. When he entered the general’s presence, the 10Tovma3    5:9 | losses of troops, nor did he charge him with being a 10Tovma3    5:9 | with being a rebel. Rather he had the standards and flags 10Tovma3    5:20 | Then the general realised that he had succeeded in everything as 10Tovma3    5:20 | had succeeded in everything as he had wished and in accordance 10Tovma3    5:20 | had been carried to conclusion; he had removed all the powerful 10Tovma3    5:25 | nations to whomever they pleased, he himself went to the city 10Tovma3    5:25 | the city of Dvin which he had prepared as his winter 10Tovma3    5:25 | winter quarters until the springtime. He kept with him many prisoners 10Tovma3    6:7 | princes subjected to his authority; he had exerted himself with great 10Tovma3    6:7 | incessantly by day and night; he had been weighed down by 10Tovma3    6:7 | the delights of the daytime he had regarded as naught 10Tovma3    6:8 | He had found scarcely any way 10Tovma3    6:10 | prisoners to be brought so he could interrogate them and hear 10Tovma3    6:11 | He sat with eyebrows frowning; he 10Tovma3    6:11 | He sat with eyebrows frowning; he was puffed up and full 10Tovma3    6:11 | an arrogant and haughty fashion. He boiled up and vomited out 10Tovma3    6:11 | and hot-blooded, tempestuous furor, he began to pour out his 10Tovma3    6:12 | were standing before the king, he questioned them disdainfully, in jeering 10Tovma3    6:12 | of presumption. With deceitful fraud he disguised his meaning, saying: “Who 10Tovma3    6:28 | of his face turned livid; he became insolent, and roaring like 10Tovma3    6:29 | He sent word that: “It is 10Tovma3    6:34 | in the city of Khlat’. He had been prince of Tarōn 10Tovma3    6:34 | Samarra, and became an apostate. He opened the wide and spacious 10Tovma3    6:34 | of his going astray, whereby he seduced and destroyed many nations 10Tovma3    6:35 | hosts; through all his snares he had cunningly bound with an 10Tovma3    6:37 | annals of the princes, since he did not hate the lawless 10Tovma3    6:38 | teeth of the tyrant. But he, both in his going and 10Tovma3    6:39 | As they tell of him, he turned away from God and 10Tovma3    6:39 | accordance with his perverse depravity he inherited the consequences of his 10Tovma3    6:40 | Without an opponent he was defeated; without arms he 10Tovma3    6:40 | he was defeated; without arms he was wounded; without a storm 10Tovma3    6:40 | was wounded; without a storm he was shipwrecked; in his self 10Tovma3    6:40 | in his self-willed obsession he went astray and followed the 10Tovma3    6:46 | Then the tyrant realised that he had been worsted by these 10Tovma3    6:46 | by the valiant Grigor. For he thought that it would be 10Tovma3    6:46 | adamant whose head is Christ, he grew stubborn and ordered his 10Tovma3    6:56 | us than poisonous beasts. But he had good consolation from the 10Tovma3    6:57 | He begged Christ that he might 10Tovma3    6:57 | He begged Christ that he might leave the body and 10Tovma3    6:59 | So he raised his hands to heaven 10Tovma3    6:59 | you come with your kingdom. He blessed them all, entrusted those 10Tovma3    7:3 | the error of idolatry. And he ( Elkesai) had the thought that 10Tovma3    7:4 | and when the persecution ended he would not receive any of 10Tovma3    7:5 | He prevented many from idolatry, although 10Tovma3    7:5 | prevented many from idolatry, although he also led astray by despair 10Tovma3    7:5 | those who turned to repentence. He ruined the whole world by 10Tovma3    7:5 | by observing trifles, although later he did receive penitents 10Tovma3    7:11 | it is quite impossible that he who believes with the mouth 10Tovma3    7:12 | by threats and by promises he demands the fruit of our 10Tovma3    7:13 | we preach.” And to Timothy he wrote that the power of 10Tovma3    7:13 | trustworthy: “If we deny (him), he will deny us, even if 10Tovma3    7:13 | if we do not believe, he remains faithful 10Tovma3    7:15 | He does not accuse himself of 10Tovma3    7:19 | of his heart how was he punished? What (did) Anania and 10Tovma3    8:4 | of the unfathomed depths, there he winters. And the creatures there 10Tovma3    8:4 | winters. And the creatures there he treats as those above—through 10Tovma3    8:4 | as those above—through them he provides for the need of 10Tovma3    8:5 | Thus, he hibernates just like the other 10Tovma3    8:6 | the entrance to Armenia. As he moved, fear gripped the whole 10Tovma3    8:6 | and its rulers; attacking them, he devoured like a dragon those 10Tovma3    8:6 | devoured like a dragon those he was able to strike 10Tovma3    8:9 | So the impious general, when he had carried out all his 10Tovma3    8:9 | of Dvin, to winter there. He dismissed the troops with their 10Tovma3    8:10 | On entering the city, he had with him numerous prisoners 10Tovma3    8:10 | and captives without number whom he sold to foreign races to 10Tovma3    8:11 | At the same time, when he had fulfilled all his wicked 10Tovma3    8:11 | inhabitants of eternal fire—then he planned to remove all the 10Tovma3    8:11 | our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus he became haughty in the false 10Tovma3    8:12 | He ordered to be brought before 10Tovma3    8:12 | ranks of the apostates. Then he thought that through tortures he 10Tovma3    8:12 | he thought that through tortures he would easily ensnare them among 10Tovma3    8:14 | it profit a man if he gain the whole world and 10Tovma3    8:15 | dotage who cannot say what he wishes 10Tovma3    8:16 | a drunkard insensible from drink. He gave way not one whit 10Tovma3    8:16 | not one whit nor did he give them an opportunity to 10Tovma3    8:23 | But the blessed Gēorg, while he faced the sword and the 10Tovma3    8:23 | the slightest sword cut was he able to make on the 10Tovma3    8:23 | to ask and see why he was not wielding the sword 10Tovma3    8:23 | the sword from his hand he looked this way and that 10Tovma3    9:2 | not have respite or pause, he foamed in his plots like 10Tovma3    9:2 | from churning up its waves. He remembered what he had done 10Tovma3    9:2 | its waves. He remembered what he had done to Ashot and 10Tovma3    9:2 | to Ashot and his land; he recalled his valiant courage; and 10Tovma3    9:2 | his valiant courage; and since he had been unable to resist 10Tovma3    9:2 | been unable to resist him, he spread fear, threatening to afflict 10Tovma3    9:2 | and to trample them as he neighed like a spirited charger 10Tovma3    9:3 | Now he writhed like a snake, now 10Tovma3    9:3 | writhed like a snake, now he roared like a lion; he 10Tovma3    9:3 | he roared like a lion; he grunted like a wild pig 10Tovma3    9:3 | his teeth. To those nearby he feigned friendship, but on those 10Tovma3    9:3 | friendship, but on those distant he heaped evil threats 10Tovma3    9:4 | He commanded everyone to report ready 10Tovma3    9:4 | the plain of the city; he reassembled the forces they had 10Tovma3    9:5 | use disregarding his (Bugha’s) orders, he hastened to come to him 10Tovma3    9:5 | to him. Welcomed by him, he ( Smbat) and his people with 10Tovma3    9:5 | lived without worry—especially as he had previously taken the precaution 10Tovma3    9:5 | caliph and the general that he would follow their orders and 10Tovma3    9:6 | He had previously sent Ashot his 10Tovma3    9:6 | meet (Bugha) as soon as he had departed from the caliph 10Tovma3    9:6 | entrance into the (various) provinces. He had indicated the strength of 10Tovma3    9:7 | army much greater than before, he ( Bugha) marched against the land 10Tovma3    9:10 | When he approached the river bank, someone 10Tovma3    9:11 | Immediately he surrounded the city with a 10Tovma3    9:12 | in his hand. Becoming deranged he lost his means of escape 10Tovma3    9:12 | his means of escape, though he was able to go wherever 10Tovma3    9:12 | was able to go wherever he wished. He sent a message 10Tovma3    9:12 | to go wherever he wished. He sent a message to the 10Tovma3    9:13 | When Sahak’s wife heard that he had been captured, since she 10Tovma3    9:16 | Later he sent her to the caliph 10Tovma3    10:1 | was his inclination to perform, he began to subject in order 10Tovma3    10:1 | With fearless audacity and arrogance, he made forays throughout all the 10Tovma3    10:2 | Indeed, he attacked the regions of the 10Tovma3    10:3 | has his own customs as he pleases, even marrying their mothers 10Tovma3    10:5 | arrived close to their borders, he wrote messages, apparently peaceful in 10Tovma3    10:11 | of the second year since he arrived, he marched to the 10Tovma3    10:11 | second year since he arrived, he marched to the regions of 10Tovma3    10:12 | When he heard that Bugha had brought 10Tovma3    10:12 | already coming to attack him, he ordered his whole country to 10Tovma3    10:12 | and courageous heart—especially as he had seen that he (Bugha 10Tovma3    10:12 | as he had seen that he ( Bugha) had been defeated and 10Tovma3    10:13 | more cowardly than the Tsanars,” he said, “for we have stronger 10Tovma3    10:13 | himself and his clan, and he will receive a martyr’s crown 10Tovma3    10:16 | He began to rage and plotted 10Tovma3    10:16 | the prince of the Ałuank’. He sent a summons, calling him 10Tovma3    10:16 | heed to his words because he was well aware of his 10Tovma3    10:17 | He gathered together the inhabitants of 10Tovma3    10:18 | of the Ałuank’ was making, he became hesitant. For although he 10Tovma3    10:18 | he became hesitant. For although he had frequently waged war with 10Tovma3    10:18 | with them in previous battles, he had been unable to reduce 10Tovma3    10:18 | them. So in cajoling terms he summoned him (Apumusē) to obedience 10Tovma3    10:27 | of vigour and terrible indignity, he was thrown into great perturbation 10Tovma3    10:27 | had been destroyed and scattered. He did not know what to 10Tovma3    10:28 | array, descended to attack them. He inflicted great damage, took much 10Tovma3    10:29 | trepidation. Part of his army he put under the command of 10Tovma3    10:29 | stationed him to the north. He himself with the majority of 10Tovma3    10:34 | terrible disaster. Plunged into anxiety, he was greatly disturbed in his 10Tovma3    10:34 | his search for a solution. He shut himself up in his 10Tovma3    10:35 | him or went out, for he had entered his chamber with 10Tovma3    10:36 | taking him by the hand, he began to converse with him 10Tovma3    10:40 | Apumusē) until, willingly or unwillingly, he submitted to the caliph 10Tovma3    10:41 | Then he commanded all the troops to 10Tovma3    10:41 | almost collapsed from its foundations. He brought the army near to 10Tovma3    10:44 | He raised his mind to the 10Tovma3    10:44 | all preoccupation with wordly illusions, he passed beyond the visible. And 10Tovma3    10:44 | beyond the visible. And since he was versed in the divinely 10Tovma3    10:44 | eloquent precepts, at that moment he set down his spiritual vision 10Tovma3    10:45 | to battle and confronted them. He was like a great iron 10Tovma3    10:49 | the army of Asorestan.” But he piled up on Bugha responsibility 10Tovma3    10:49 | the army—of which indeed he informed the caliph in writing 10Tovma3    10:54 | decorated helmet and sword. Only he was to heed the caliph’s 10Tovma3    10:55 | had read the caliph’s letter, he hastened down from the mountain 10Tovma3    10:55 | presented himself to Bugha. Before he reached the general, there came 10Tovma3    10:55 | with arms and select horses. He had brought before him (Apumusē 10Tovma3    10:55 | in front and behind while he was still outside their camp 10Tovma3    10:56 | all unkindly, neither recalling what he had done, nor causing him 10Tovma3    10:56 | causing him any gloom; but he received him in a friendly 10Tovma3    10:57 | a few days had passed, he had him taken to the 10Tovma3    11:4 | the tyrant, tearing their collars: “ He is worthy of death; it 10Tovma3    11:5 | He commanded him to be brought 10Tovma3    11:5 | attacking lambs to devour them. He ordered them to be fastened 10Tovma3    11:5 | their feet and hands bound. He had iron rods brought, and 10Tovma3    11:6 | He interrogated him cruelly and with 10Tovma3    11:6 | Abandon the faith of Christ,” he said,” and I shall forgive 10Tovma3    11:7 | should be glorified with him? He is the Lord of Lords 10Tovma3    11:9 | be cut out so that he could not further insult the 10Tovma3    11:9 | legislator (Muhammad), and himself. Then he ordered his two hands and 10Tovma3    11:9 | by limb they dismembered him; he offered himself as a living 10Tovma3    11:9 | With great fortitude and thanksgiving he endured the tortures inflicted on 10Tovma3    11:10 | While he was still alive, (Bugha) had 10Tovma3    11:10 | and very tall gibbet erected; he was put on the top 10Tovma3    11:12 | from an opened tomb—whereby he had seduced many away from 10Tovma3    11:16 | the unconquerable power with which he had strengthened the saints for 10Tovma3    11:16 | flaming like a fiery furnace. He had wood brought, and they 10Tovma3    11:20 | Saint Kakhay he ordered to be slain with 10Tovma3    11:20 | cut off his head. Immediately he surrendered his soul into God’s 10Tovma3    11:22 | was a man called Yovnan. He it was who during Bugha’s 10Tovma3    11:23 | to be brought before him. He questioned him about the death 10Tovma3    11:23 | his second heroic exploit when he ( Yovnan) had resisted the general 10Tovma3    11:23 | affairs. At the same time he tried to intimidate him even 10Tovma3    11:23 | even more, that perchance thereby he might really be able to 10Tovma3    11:24 | When he put before him the question 10Tovma3    11:24 | question of the harm, whereby he expected he would cast him 10Tovma3    11:24 | the harm, whereby he expected he would cast him into a 10Tovma3    11:24 | into a snare of destruction, he said to the blessed one 10Tovma3    11:29 | When he ( the caliph) heard such replies 10Tovma3    11:29 | manner with great audacity, then he ordered him to be put 10Tovma3    11:30 | to the place of execution. He raised his hands to heaven 10Tovma3    11:30 | to heaven in prayer that he might be able to overcome 10Tovma3    11:31 | Armenian magnates from the country— he also brought it about that 10Tovma3    11:31 | continued to resist his control. He wrote individually to those who 10Tovma3    11:33 | For a short while he forgave them with an appearance 10Tovma3    11:33 | who had not joined him, he then stripped off the mask 10Tovma3    11:34 | He formed companies of armed soldiers 10Tovma3    11:36 | caliph and the general. For he had followed their wishes with 10Tovma3    11:38 | So he removed all the powerful men 10Tovma3    11:38 | there and to see how he might complete the final destruction 10Tovma3    11:38 | the final destruction of Armenia. He despatched a certain Abraham and 10Tovma3    12:4 | Man shall fall on man,” he says, “and man on his 10Tovma3    13:1 | distinguished, grand, eminent, and prestigious. He descended from two royal lines 10Tovma3    13:2 | From both sides he inherited royal blood and station 10Tovma3    13:2 | of the Mamikoneans, from whom he traced his genealogy down to 10Tovma3    13:3 | struggles against the Arab raiders. He expended torrents of blood for 10Tovma3    13:3 | to death for his sheep, he modelled himself on the Son 10Tovma3    13:3 | Paul to say: “Those whom he previously knew he previously summoned 10Tovma3    13:3 | Those whom he previously knew he previously summoned to share the 10Tovma3    13:7 | holy prophets”; in this account he includes only “those who by 10Tovma3    13:11 | many times. With forty men he attacked a thousand, killed many 10Tovma3    13:12 | general in the hope that he would be able to persuade 10Tovma3    13:12 | to the emperor, from whom he would receive gifts and honour 10Tovma3    13:13 | go to the Greeks, but he did persuade Grigor to give 10Tovma3    13:15 | Then he himself went to the prince 10Tovma3    13:15 | there exhibiting most courageous resistance, he returned to the sparapet Smbat 10Tovma3    13:16 | territory of the Greeks. Yet he frequently attacked the Greek forces 10Tovma3    13:16 | for your army. Now behold, he has arrived and awaits your 10Tovma3    13:19 | provinces to the sparapet Smbat, he wrote to the emir of 10Tovma3    13:19 | about the troops of Vaspurakan. He ( Abraham) rapidly marched to the 10Tovma3    13:20 | their horses, arms, and accoutrements. He had inflicted great losses on 10Tovma3    13:21 | While he was riding along deep in 10Tovma3    13:23 | stripped off his shoes, but he kicked the coward in the 10Tovma3    13:26 | battle, every man fleeing where he could escape. There remained only 10Tovma3    13:29 | Ṙshtunik’ and stayed there; (later) he returned to his own residence 10Tovma3    13:30 | prince reached the valiant Gurgēn, he rapidly marched to the land 10Tovma3    13:31 | As soon as he reached there, he quickly attacked 10Tovma3    13:31 | soon as he reached there, he quickly attacked the fortresses called 10Tovma3    13:32 | He began to make an orderly 10Tovma3    13:33 | He inflicted great losses on the 10Tovma3    13:36 | the brave horse on which he was mounted and attacked the 10Tovma3    13:36 | Muslim army. Breaking their ranks he turned them back, and one 10Tovma3    13:37 | He pursued them and slaughtered them 10Tovma3    13:40 | and the hard battles that he fought with victorious heroism, not 10Tovma3    13:41 | omnipotent was with him wherever he wished 10Tovma3    13:42 | towards him in peaceful friendship. He had brought to him, as 10Tovma3    13:43 | He appointed him prince to be 10Tovma3    13:45 | my profound astonishment at how he could endure the insufferable multiplication 10Tovma3    13:47 | that of elite Gēorgian troops he entered the land of Vaspurakan 10Tovma3    13:50 | Gurgēn recognised those deceiving him, he did not requite for the 10Tovma3    13:50 | evil done; but every time he seized him he let Vasak 10Tovma3    13:50 | every time he seized him he let Vasak go in peace 10Tovma3    13:51 | Intending to seize the land he raised a force to oppose 10Tovma3    13:53 | him. But with rapid hand he drew his sword, hit Juansher 10Tovma3    13:55 | battle. Ceaselessly, day and night, he and the noble troops who 10Tovma3    13:57 | shepherd praised by the Saviour, he gave his life for his 10Tovma3    13:57 | rushing to the assault, as he delivered all the violent oppressors 10Tovma3    13:57 | and death by the sword. He was blessed and eulogised by 10Tovma3    13:59 | He cleansed the land from the 10Tovma3    14:3 | Then abundantly he poured out the mercy of 10Tovma3    14:4 | is the seventieth year.” And he inclined them to the direction 10Tovma3    14:4 | inclined them to the direction he wished 10Tovma3    14:6 | one his lands in inheritance, he then commanded Ashot and his 10Tovma3    14:7 | He clothed them with garments, set 10Tovma3    14:9 | He ruled his country with princely 10Tovma3    14:9 | country with princely authority. When he sat on the throne of 10Tovma3    14:9 | throne of his father’s dominions he was about ten years old 10Tovma3    14:13 | When the second Gurgēn arrived, he hastily moved to attack the 10Tovma3    14:13 | Sring and Jłmar.

He reigned in his father’s place 10Tovma3    14:35 | When the news reached Derenik, he moved to attack him, but 10Tovma3    14:36 | Taking courage again, he returned to oppose Gurgēn, whose 10Tovma3    14:38 | love of this transitory world. He did not seek vengeance for 10Tovma3    14:38 | sword, a sabre and axe, he note: “My son Derenik, greetings 10Tovma3    14:39 | out to conceal himself until he should succeed at Christ’s will 10Tovma3    14:39 | succeed at Christ’s will wherever he might go 10Tovma3    14:40 | He reached a village called Eragani 10Tovma3    14:40 | As a fearer of God he trusted himself to him and 10Tovma3    14:40 | news that (Gurgēn) had died; he was a mad monk full 10Tovma3    14:40 | of folly, (who did) what he had not been ordered to 10Tovma3    14:40 | do: of his own will he carried out a crime against 10Tovma3    14:40 | crime against himself, for which he will pay retribution on the 10Tovma3    14:41 | for the bonds in which he had fettered him, as compensation 10Tovma3    14:41 | compensation for his goodness. But he rendered him a ready hand 10Tovma3    14:42 | that Gurgēn had been seized, he made haste to come with 10Tovma3    14:44 | leader of the Muslims, so he went out to live in 10Tovma3    14:45 | was the prince of princes, he undertook the subjection of the 10Tovma3    14:45 | Gēorgia, and Albania—which indeed he brought about 10Tovma3    14:46 | Gathering a force he entered Vantosp; Derenik opposed him 10Tovma3    14:46 | Vantosp; Derenik opposed him, but he ( Ashot) captured him and put 10Tovma3    14:47 | news of Derenik and how he had been seized, he marched 10Tovma3    14:47 | how he had been seized, he marched rapidly with all speed 10Tovma3    14:48 | He wrote to the prince of 10Tovma3    14:48 | him) renounce any useless plans he might have. “Otherwise, he said 10Tovma3    14:48 | plans he might have. “Otherwise, he said, I shall see you 10Tovma3    14:48 | drawn up in battle array.” He was planning to attack Ashot 10Tovma3    14:51 | the plan was carried out. He took with him Derenik and 10Tovma3    15:8 | after many turmoils and battles he succeeded in bringing the principality 10Tovma3    15:9 | ill and at death’s door. He had a son who was 10Tovma3    15:10 | Musheł set in writing that he would entrust him with the 10Tovma3    15:10 | the surrounding territories, and that he would bequeath the other (lands 10Tovma3    15:12 | He came to the castle of 10Tovma3    15:13 | to find some means whereby he might wrest the castles from 10Tovma3    15:14 | He wore himself out from his 10Tovma3    15:14 | unable to gain the fortress, he returned to his own principality 10Tovma3    15:15 | the fortress of Noraberd (which he held) by officials, and he 10Tovma3    15:15 | he held) by officials, and he gave to Gurgēn the province 10Tovma3    15:15 | as his personal portion, while he left his own agents there 10Tovma3    15:16 | had been false to Gurgēn, he expelled the officials. And in 10Tovma3    15:16 | over the principality of Andzavats’ik’. He pacified the land and made 10Tovma3    15:16 | safe and secure from bandits; he built churches and carried out 10Tovma3    15:20 | Bugha returned to the court, he acted in a supercilious manner 10Tovma3    15:20 | and bloated full of arrogance; he would boast about the tremendous 10Tovma3    15:20 | boast about the tremendous deeds he had accomplished, and suppose that 10Tovma3    15:20 | that by his own power he had presided over the destruction 10Tovma3    15:22 | an excess of ferocious poison.

But he did not enjoy an open 10Tovma3    15:22 | Bugha’s) victorious and renowned accomplishment he thought it would bring opprobrium 10Tovma3    15:23 | So he sent him to Khorasan, entrusting 10Tovma3    16:3 | He had promised to bring about 10Tovma3    16:6 | for battle, even more did he exaggerate the severity of his 10Tovma3    16:7 | But while he feigned illness on his couch 10Tovma3    16:8 | be tainted with cowardice, though he thought such suspicion unfounded 10Tovma3    16:9 | his band of noble warriors, he cried: “On, valiant Armenians; let 10Tovma3    16:12 | his promise concerning Ashot—that he would restore him to his 10Tovma3    16:12 | restore him to his principality. He reckoned it inappropriate to establish 10Tovma3    17:1 | After this, when he heard of Gurgēn’s ruling over 10Tovma3    17:1 | in the village of Blrak. He despatched to Gurgēn Vahan Artsruni 10Tovma3    17:2 | Unless you do this willingly, he will bring constraint to bear 10Tovma3    17:6 | He provided Grigor his nephew and 10Tovma3    17:8 | side of the castle. When he was informed of what had 10Tovma3    17:8 | informed of what had occurred, he turned back and went his 10Tovma3    17:9 | Then he gathered eight thousand mounted men 10Tovma3    18:4 | from his dangerous imprisonment. Then he turned against another stronghold, a 10Tovma3    18:5 | temples of Vaheavahan. But when he had approached the stronghold to 10Tovma3    18:5 | the assault on the fortress, he turned with fearless courage to 10Tovma3    18:6 | He took up his position on 10Tovma3    18:8 | armour, and prepared for battle. He led the attack, seemingly mocking 10Tovma3    18:8 | numbers in the thousands; for he did not have more than 10Tovma3    18:10 | Sem, a confidant of Yisē’s. He was advancing to meet the 10Tovma3    18:10 | proposals) Ashot was not heedless; he retreated and encamped in the 10Tovma3    18:11 | by the same road that he had come, not allowing him 10Tovma3    18:11 | through the land of Vaspurakan. He ( Yisē) returned to Partaw in 10Tovma3    18:12 | splendid fame in Armenia. Thenceforth he never dared to enter the 10Tovma3    18:13 | was aged nineteen years (when he became prince); he exercised the 10Tovma3    18:13 | years (when he became prince); he exercised the dignity of prince 10Tovma3    18:13 | captivity. On entering his land, he resolutely practiced the Christian religion 10Tovma3    18:18 | departure from his world arrived, he was plunged into unfathomable remorse 10Tovma3    18:18 | and regret; with flowing tears he made the confession of faith 10Tovma3    18:18 | and the thief. With faith he looked to the saving Body 10Tovma3    18:22 | He ( Ashot) departed not in despair 10Tovma3    18:23 | Ashot had completed his life, he died in the province of 10Tovma3    19:2 | no fear or suspicion anywhere. He begat three sons 10Tovma3    19:3 | fortunate, and loved by all. He also begat two daughters 10Tovma3    19:4 | the patriarchate for eighteen years. He was succeeded by Lord Gēorg 10Tovma3    19:5 | son of Sheh entered Partaw, he left there as governor of 10Tovma3    19:6 | But he withdrew from obedience to his 10Tovma3    19:6 | of Armenia. But being unsuccessful, he returned to Syria. This happened 10Tovma3    19:9 | When he entered the town of Datuan 10Tovma3    19:13 | remain unsolicitous or unconcerned, but he ordered the bridgeheads to be 10Tovma3    19:14 | He was informed by various persons 10Tovma3    20:2 | to the governor, and that he was attempting to eject him 10Tovma3    20:4 | among the elite of Vaspurakan, he went off about two stadia 10Tovma3    20:5 | him from the governor, as he knew what he was plotting 10Tovma3    20:5 | governor, as he knew what he was plotting with regard to 10Tovma3    20:5 | the army five furlongs, when he ( Derenik) recalled the slander they 10Tovma3    20:6 | the castle of Sevan; and he ordered Hasanik his nephew to 10Tovma3    20:7 | reason for holding him, namely: he ( Derenik) had married David the 10Tovma3    20:7 | Because of that, they say, he held him; for he was 10Tovma3    20:7 | say, he held him; for he was pleased to make (David 10Tovma3    20:9 | by his own authority. So he ( David) was prince over Tarōn 10Tovma3    20:9 | being gathered to his fathers; he left a child named Ashot 10Tovma3    20:11 | renowned and high-ranking man; he was accompanied by Grigor, son 10Tovma3    20:11 | by Grigor, son of Vasak. He likewise was a lively man 10Tovma3    20:11 | study and in everything else he surpassed his fathers and grandfathers 10Tovma3    20:14 | Dvin, in the hope that he might be able to bring 10Tovma3    20:15 | few gifts and honours. But he persisted in the same obstinate 10Tovma3    20:16 | He wished to destroy the rampart 10Tovma3    20:17 | Ashot could not endure that he accomplish his evil plans. So 10Tovma3    20:18 | to enter his presence and he was expecting the great prince 10Tovma3    20:18 | lances, making a solid wall. He brought in the letter which 10Tovma3    20:19 | to lift up his gaze, he remained abashed; he lost his 10Tovma3    20:19 | his gaze, he remained abashed; he lost his strength and assumed 10Tovma3    20:20 | him to have no fear. He mounted a mule which they 10Tovma3    20:20 | by the same way as he had come 10Tovma3    20:22 | Shapuh, son of Ashot, until he reached the beginning of the 10Tovma3    20:23 | son of the impious Vasak. He found no means of escape 10Tovma3    20:23 | Derenik to free him. Frequently he implored him by means of 10Tovma3    20:23 | by means of letters, but he would not agree 10Tovma3    20:24 | He even took the trouble to 10Tovma3    20:24 | his prison. But even thus he was unable to obtain for 10Tovma3    20:25 | Consequently, he left him to the care 10Tovma3    20:26 | great solicitude for him, although he could not help in this 10Tovma3    20:27 | control of the land. “Often,” he said, “I have verified this 10Tovma3    20:28 | it over many years, while he ( Hasan) himself was very young 10Tovma3    20:28 | vanity,” as Solomon says. So he fell for the guileful bait 10Tovma3    20:28 | advice proposed, so indeed would he do 10Tovma3    20:29 | But he was unable to act openly 10Tovma3    20:29 | and prepare for battle. So he plotted with deceitful cunning to 10Tovma3    20:29 | fickle intentions of his plan. He entered the fortress and feigned 10Tovma3    20:30 | He sent word to the prince 10Tovma3    20:30 | that without the slightest delay he should hurry there 10Tovma3    20:31 | He followed the messengers with compassion 10Tovma3    20:31 | relative, in the supposition that he had succumbed to a severe 10Tovma3    20:32 | him in the innermost room. He ( Hasan) freed the curopalates, for 10Tovma3    20:34 | He was then besieging the city 10Tovma3    20:34 | but when the messengers arrived, he abandoned the siege, sending them 10Tovma3    20:35 | Gurgēn, Musheł Bagratuni, and he hastened with the Catholicos and 10Tovma3    20:37 | charges against Gagik Apumruan, that he was plotting with the curopalates 10Tovma3    20:38 | treaty between himself and Hasan. He seized him and imprisoned him 10Tovma3    20:38 | trusted retainers to guard it. He also took from him his 10Tovma3    20:39 | they had schemed against Armenia, he thought he was seeing his 10Tovma3    20:39 | schemed against Armenia, he thought he was seeing his last hour 10Tovma3    20:39 | his last hour upon him. He began to threaten and menace 10Tovma3    20:39 | By means of circular letters he set his hand to weaning 10Tovma3    20:39 | and likewise those others whom he was able to seduce. Yamanik 10Tovma3    20:39 | Derenik (to the effect that) he was maliciously plotting against Ashot 10Tovma3    20:40 | So he managed to split and break 10Tovma3    20:40 | Sevan and his land. “Only,” he said, “send to me Gagik 10Tovma3    20:41 | believe him; so just as he ( Hasan) had feigned a mock 10Tovma3    20:41 | illness to Derenik, the same he now did to Gagik 10Tovma3    20:42 | small band, candles lit, and he bound him with iron bonds 10Tovma3    20:50 | of the princes of Vaspurakan, he journeyed through the valley of 10Tovma3    20:51 | He did not heed the noble 10Tovma3    20:52 | his refusal (to heed them), he passed on and lodged in 10Tovma3    20:53 | harm on him; gathering troops, he went out to meet him 10Tovma3    20:54 | nobles tried to stop him, he would not heed a single 10Tovma3    20:56 | He sent messengers to take him 10Tovma3    20:56 | spies hastened to report: “Behold, he has left his army in 10Tovma3    20:57 | the line of armed troops; he was alone in a watercourse 10Tovma3    20:60 | the land of Vaspurakan where he lived. When the prince died 10Tovma3    20:60 | lived. When the prince died he was forty years old 10Tovma3    20:64 | the valour of the cowardly he says: “Fear will save the 10Tovma3    20:65 | Woe to one alone. When he falls, who will raise him 10Tovma3    20:65 | one; for if one falls, he will rise up 10Tovma3    20:68 | for Gagik, also (called) Apumruan, he appointed him prefect over the 10Tovma3    20:69 | was greatly endowed with wisdom, he deferred to all the provincial 10Tovma3    20:69 | and commanders of the country; he dealt with them wisely and 10Tovma3    20:69 | the respect due his rank he honoured and appeased them 10Tovma3    20:71 | change them, by God’s commandment he will not inherit his throne 10Tovma3    20:72 | anyone wishes to affirm them, he will be unshakeable in this 10Tovma3    21:1 | hand of all on him.” He splendidly carried through the period 10Tovma3    21:1 | four years in royal splendour. He died in the year [339] of 10Tovma3    22:2 | the army of the Korahites. He who earlier spared the repentant 10Tovma3    22:4 | Grigor, the prelate of Ṙshtunik’. He was unable to escape with 10Tovma3    22:5 | Abandoning his residence in Dvin, he went to reside in Nor 10Tovma3    22:6 | deceitfully killed by Ahmat’s commanders; he was a brave and famous 10Tovma3    22:9 | provinces and as much as he could obtain by force of 10Tovma3    22:9 | and wherever in this area he could control 10Tovma3    22:11 | nobility residing in fortified places he daily distributed gifts and honours 10Tovma3    22:13 | spread farther his oppressive extortions. He frequently sent letters to each 10Tovma3    22:13 | neighbouring proximity to this country he might well inflict the Persian 10Tovma3    22:14 | follow the same path. When he tried to restrain Ashot, the 10Tovma3    22:17 | Ashot had gone (to Awshin) he had left there the princess 10Tovma3    22:18 | by force.” Brooking no delay, he came with troops of Awshin 10Tovma3    22:22 | a smaller force with him, he did not withdraw or shy 10Tovma3    22:24 | city or rampart of bronze, he was unable to carry out 10Tovma3    22:24 | inside him like raging waves, he persisted in his ambitions. They 10Tovma3    22:24 | to him without mistrust; while he found a suitable occasion to 10Tovma3    22:25 | And he gave back the fortress of 10Tovma3    22:29 | Indeed he had previously known (of them 10Tovma3    22:29 | region of Tarōn for himself, he was aiming at becoming the 10Tovma3    22:30 | his own purpose, so that he might win over the Armenian 10Tovma3    23:1 | briefly mentioned above concerning Ahmat’, he had seized the land of 10Tovma3    23:5 | of his forces was about [120,000]. He marched along the edge of 10Tovma3    23:6 | of his arrival reached Ahmat’, he too assembled the forces of 10Tovma3    23:8 | the armies had joined combat, he hoped still to be able 10Tovma3    23:8 | by his corps of warriors, he was unable to calm the 10Tovma3    23:9 | So he immediately turned his horse’s bridle 10Tovma3    23:9 | to advance to the fray. He demonstrated there many brave acts 10Tovma3    23:10 | Abandoning the battle, he turned in flight by way 10Tovma3    24:6 | been done reached the king, he made no other response save 10Tovma3    24:7 | arrived in his own lands, he had gifts and honours taken 10Tovma3    24:8 | He endowed Gurgēn his brother with 10Tovma3    25:1 | for human blood—which characteristics he regarded as great personal renown 10Tovma3    25:1 | regarded as great personal renown— he valued the ruin of a 10Tovma3    25:1 | highly than its prosperity. Ceaselessly he moved around, contending with all 10Tovma3    25:1 | of Vaspurakan and its leaders he gave the impression that his 10Tovma3    25:1 | complete. One after the other he constrained them to hasten individually 10Tovma3    25:3 | teeth of the wild beast. He escaped under cover of darkness 10Tovma3    25:4 | this fashion. With haughty mien he suddenly entered the city of 10Tovma3    25:5 | from among the Greek captives; he had abandoned the Christian faith 10Tovma3    26:3 | by the knowledge of God, he delivered them to dishonourable intentions 10Tovma3    26:4 | oppose him in war. However, he who struck, the same also 10Tovma3    26:5 | entered Awshin’s service; a eunuch, he abandoned the Christian religion, accepting 10Tovma3    26:5 | the erring faith of Mahumat’. He was a ferocious man, savage 10Tovma3    26:6 | Leaving the city of Partaw, he took his troops and marched 10Tovma3    26:7 | When Awshin learned of this, he was deeply stricken and made 10Tovma3    26:7 | delay and observing utmost speed, he went to Awshin in the 10Tovma3    26:8 | in the presence of Awshin he ended his life 10Tovma3    26:10 | more bitter than viper’s gall, he went on the journey to 10Tovma3    26:11 | they considered him (wondering) who he was, what sort of man 10Tovma3    26:11 | sort of man, and how he had perished, and saying: “How 10Tovma3    26:13 | He was succeeded on the throne 10Tovma3    26:13 | in the lake of Gełark’uni. He exemplified the way of life 10Tovma3    26:13 | wine nor strong liquor. But he not only did not get 10Tovma3    26:13 | by the merest damping; and he satisfied his hunger with austere 10Tovma3    26:14 | But in scholarly learning he was deeply versed, dead to 10Tovma3    26:15 | He occupied the patriarchal throne for 10Tovma3    26:16 | Yōhannēs inherited the patriarchal throne. He had been educated and had 10Tovma3    26:16 | learned instruction and scholarly discipline, he was a man of sweet 10Tovma3    26:16 | sweet temperament and modest disposition. He considered himself one with the 10Tovma3    27:3 | in the darkness of night, he made his way into the 10Tovma3    27:4 | those keeping the night watch, he raised his impure hand to 10Tovma3    27:4 | the holy cross of Christ. He got out through the window 10Tovma3    27:4 | in the rock. But when he stripped the silver from the 10Tovma3    27:7 | He ordered a goldsmith to be 10Tovma3    27:7 | cross of Christ restored again. He rejoined the fragments in each 10Tovma3    28:6 | peace and (offering) that whatever he wished should be done. So 10Tovma3    28:10 | the great prince Ashot that he might effect peace between them 10Tovma3    28:10 | been part of Vaspurakan. So he restored it to the people 10Tovma3    28:12 | to the tyrant of Persia. He himself gathered his own forces 10Tovma3    28:14 | and winning of glorious repute-— he wrote as follows: “This further 10Tovma3    28:14 | put aside distracting delays,” and he promised to give him cities 10Tovma3    28:15 | For he had (already) given him possession 10Tovma3    28:17 | freed from the fear that he had of the prince of 10Tovma3    28:18 | At daybreak he crossed over the river Araxes 10Tovma3    28:19 | the uselessness of his rebellion.

He poured forth sighing, tears, confession 10Tovma3    29:16 | He beat his face with stones 10Tovma3    29:17 | dazed. As they surrounded him, he questioned: “Is there forgiveness for 10Tovma3    29:18 | This he said, his face buried in 10Tovma3    29:19 | of the Son of God, he gave up his soul into 10Tovma3    29:28 | in ruins for many years; he rebuilt the church there dedicated 10Tovma3    29:28 | very valuable vessels. In it he also placed the cross which 10Tovma3    29:29 | He built a church in the 10Tovma3    29:29 | the valiant soldier Saint Gēorge.

Above that he built a church (dedicated) to 10Tovma3    29:31 | of the Second Coming, when he will come in the Father’s 10Tovma3    29:32 | He also built on the rock 10Tovma3    29:33 | On the southern side he provided a staircase cut in 10Tovma3    29:34 | In his seemly wisdom he prepared a water tunnel underground 10Tovma3    29:34 | the rock of Amrakan. Thereby he provided for the various needs 10Tovma3    29:35 | and the city of Getk’, he constructed a splendid place of 10Tovma3    29:36 | runs into the river Araxes, he built a stronghold impregnable to 10Tovma3    29:36 | There too in similar fashion he placed inside dwellings, streets, and 10Tovma3    29:37 | He found there a strong rocky 10Tovma3    29:37 | secure from military attacks, which he enclosed with ramparts. He established 10Tovma3    29:37 | which he enclosed with ramparts. He established there a splendid palace 10Tovma3    29:37 | for festivities. In this manner he was unstintingly mindful of all 10Tovma3    29:38 | For not only was he concerned with its prosperity but 10Tovma3    29:38 | concerned with its prosperity but he was also ready to shed 10Tovma3    29:39 | With rapid step he made his upward course to 10Tovma3    29:39 | below to Mount Varag. There he worshipped the wood of Christ’s 10Tovma3    29:40 | He covered the holy cross of 10Tovma3    29:40 | the wondrous rood with pearls; he fitted it into sweet-smelling 10Tovma3    29:43 | that Gagik was supreme general he had begun his constructions. He 10Tovma3    29:43 | he had begun his constructions. He built a high embankment at 10Tovma3    29:43 | Vard Ṙshtuni, descendant of Hayk. He appointed as abbot a certain 10Tovma3    29:44 | Here he organised a settlement of monks 10Tovma3    29:44 | for (the position) to which he had been called. The general 10Tovma3    29:45 | There he built a splendid and glorious 10Tovma3    29:48 | offered in them, especially as he is truly the Son of 10Tovma3    29:50 | mortal winds that blow (there). He transferred villages there and built 10Tovma3    29:50 | the house of the Artsrunik’. He named the site after his 10Tovma3    29:50 | the boundaries of the villages he had transferred 10Tovma3    29:51 | gathered from far and near. He made a vociferous proclamation, as 10Tovma3    29:51 | a vociferous proclamation, as though he meant a verbal warning, and 10Tovma3    29:54 | like hills and valleys, when he brought hewn stones for the 10Tovma3    29:54 | over mountain and plain. Thus he completed the splendid tower of 10Tovma3    29:56 | These he splendidly adorned with very valuable 10Tovma3    29:65 | He was lying in wait like 10Tovma3    29:65 | lion cub in its den. He wrote to the holy bishop 10Tovma3    29:65 | attack which had befallen them. He returned a response full of 10Tovma3    29:65 | battle it should happen that he be killed, then for the 10Tovma3    29:65 | killed, then for the victory he would inherit the title of 10Tovma3    29:65 | the title of confessor, and he should strengthen himself in the 10Tovma3    29:66 | With steadfast faith he rapidly advanced to the decisive 10Tovma3    29:66 | advanced to the decisive battle. He left his fortified position with 10Tovma3    29:68 | city of Vhri in Korchēik’ he installed his own officers to 10Tovma3    29:71 | of T’adēos son of Sherep’, he marched out to attack the 10Tovma3    29:71 | the rabble from Parskahayk’. There he exhibited many acts of prowess 10Tovma3    29:71 | exhibited many acts of prowess: he freed all the captives, and 10Tovma3    29:71 | seized back the booty. But he was wounded by a sword 10Tovma3    29:73 | Gurgēn heard the sad news, he pursued them with one thousand 10Tovma3    29:74 | ninth hour on a Friday, he passed by the lake of 10Tovma3    29:74 | at dawn the next day he reached the village of Eṙenay 10Tovma4    1:1 | He was given by the Lord 10Tovma4    1:1 | the Lord another son, whom he named Gurgēn after his uncle 10Tovma4    1:2 | He also demonstrated many acts of 10Tovma4    1:2 | songs of David: “Everything that he shall do will succeed for 10Tovma4    1:3 | He also recovered for himself and 10Tovma4    1:5 | He also plucked by force out 10Tovma4    1:5 | it over many centuries. Likewise ( he recovered) many other towns of 10Tovma4    1:5 | towns of Atrpatakan, over which he ruled with great magnificence 10Tovma4    1:6 | and such remarkable victories did he become famous and well known 10Tovma4    1:7 | the influence of the woman he tricked the gullible ancestor to 10Tovma4    1:7 | in paradise—likewise here too he stirred up the fire of 10Tovma4    1:7 | the valiant and renowned prince. He cast resentment and jealousy into 10Tovma4    1:7 | so they might become accomplices; he inflamed the enemies of the 10Tovma4    1:9 | reveal any of this: “Perchance he may hear,” they said, “and 10Tovma4    1:11 | At this time he raised to high rank one 10Tovma4    1:12 | grease, like the blinded Israel; he was ungrateful to his benefactor 10Tovma4    1:12 | and mighty (prince) saw this, he undertook a sublime plan. In 10Tovma4    1:12 | to get rid of him he sent to him his nephew 10Tovma4    1:13 | Gagik had married Hasan’s sister, he therefore received him in the 10Tovma4    1:20 | At that time he had been preceded by the 10Tovma4    1:20 | the sea. Through evil messengers he begged the renowned prince of 10Tovma4    1:20 | prince did not accept because he was hurrying to his own 10Tovma4    1:21 | face. Taking a deadly present, he came to meet the mighty 10Tovma4    1:25 | Now that foul Muslim, since he was unwilling to confront the 10Tovma4    1:26 | He approached the prince, and throwing 10Tovma4    1:34 | had raised and on whom he personally relied, put nooses round 10Tovma4    1:45 | declare over his tomb that he will take revenge for the 10Tovma4    2:1 | even from that young age he shone out with wonderful eclat 10Tovma4    2:1 | and steadied her heart; and he ruled his principality like a 10Tovma4    2:7 | forward with a plan, for he wished to rule over the 10Tovma4    2:7 | over the principality of Vaspurakan. He won over to himself the 10Tovma4    2:7 | the name of Ashot, and he will persuade the inhabitants of 10Tovma4    2:8 | When Ashot reached his majority he remained according to his custom 10Tovma4    2:8 | respectfully submissive to Apumruan, for he had become his son-in 10Tovma4    2:9 | a few days of leisure, he ( Apumruan) summoned Ashot with his 10Tovma4    2:10 | There one night he seized and bound them. He 10Tovma4    2:10 | he seized and bound them. He sent Ashot and Gurgēn to 10Tovma4    2:11 | But Gagik he marched off to the province 10Tovma4    2:11 | the castle of Shamiram. For he had tricked Ashot like a 10Tovma4    2:11 | of T’oṙnavan and Chuash, where he fortified for his own account 10Tovma4    2:12 | Furthermore he put abroad among the people 10Tovma4    2:13 | By this he persuaded and convinced his audience 10Tovma4    2:13 | and overcome by irresolution, now he would release the younger Gurgēn 10Tovma4    2:13 | around with him, then again he would have him imprisoned once 10Tovma4    2:13 | him imprisoned once more. So he released Gurgēn, but was perplexed 10Tovma4    2:13 | thinking about the youth, and he was waiting (for an occasion 10Tovma4    3:1 | of his grace. Knowing that he would become such a person 10Tovma4    3:1 | would become such a person, he bestowed on him the spirit 10Tovma4    3:2 | Through him he did indeed save Armenia from 10Tovma4    3:3 | Even from a youthful age he was a budding source of 10Tovma4    3:4 | of amazement to me: although he had neither gifts nor possessions 10Tovma4    3:4 | nor with princely authority could he impose taxes on anyone, yet 10Tovma4    3:5 | valour was already exhibited before he was yet fifteen years of 10Tovma4    3:5 | fifteen years of age, when he made the decision of a 10Tovma4    3:6 | When the moment was favourable, he took his conspirators with him 10Tovma4    3:6 | him at his horse’s feet, he cut off his head—which 10Tovma4    3:6 | cut off his head—which he brought to the fortress of 10Tovma4    3:7 | Liberating them, he gave (the) ring into Ashot’s 10Tovma4    3:8 | father’s blood from Apumruan, since he was one of the accomplices 10Tovma4    3:10 | nation that was in darkness he placed a shining torch on 10Tovma4    3:10 | four directions. Not only was he himself (not) obscured, but through 10Tovma4    3:10 | but through his firm faith he made the enemies of his 10Tovma4    3:10 | his father’s house totter, and he utterly consumed them 10Tovma4    3:11 | He was a tall tower built 10Tovma4    3:12 | He was a rational sword, blazing 10Tovma4    3:12 | enemy; casting terror into them, he brought to a halt those 10Tovma4    3:13 | a youthful and inexperienced age he rose up like a lion 10Tovma4    3:13 | voice, through messengers and decrees he wrested for himself many treasures 10Tovma4    3:15 | become like a strong city.” He began to render himself daily 10Tovma4    3:17 | of Ashot his nephew because he was fearful that perhaps Ashot 10Tovma4    3:18 | Ashot did not accept, but he returned them since he had 10Tovma4    3:18 | but he returned them since he had disregarded him during his 10Tovma4    3:19 | And he came to Smbat in friendship 10Tovma4    3:21 | He then turned to besiege the 10Tovma4    3:21 | the stores of amassed treasures he took much booty 10Tovma4    3:23 | eldest son. Taking the latter, he turned to attack Ashot with 10Tovma4    3:23 | of his despising his summons. He reached the province of T’oṙnavan 10Tovma4    3:25 | holy churches and the faithful, he went to Ap’shin, risking death 10Tovma4    3:26 | He sent back Prince Ashot in 10Tovma4    3:26 | Ap’shin asked for hostages. So he gave his brother Gagik; seven 10Tovma4    3:26 | brother Gagik; seven months later he sent his youngest brother Gurgēn 10Tovma4    3:28 | From there he advanced as far as the 10Tovma4    3:30 | scarcely preserving his faith intact. He inflicted much damage and destruction 10Tovma4    3:32 | He sent a eunuch named Yiwsr 10Tovma4    3:35 | spring arrived, a eunuch whom he had appointed to govern the 10Tovma4    3:36 | heard of this, willy-nilly he summoned to his presence the 10Tovma4    3:36 | his presence the men whom he had left as deputies in 10Tovma4    3:36 | the land of Vaspurakan, while he himself hastened to the city 10Tovma4    3:37 | There he met with vengeance for the 10Tovma4    3:37 | with vengeance for the evils he had inflicted on Armenia. God 10Tovma4    3:37 | a holy angel—as once ( he smote) the emperor Valens through 10Tovma4    3:37 | his eyes; and after them he too received his end with 10Tovma4    3:40 | So he despatched a force to besiege 10Tovma4    3:42 | the middle of the night, he expected to gain the victory 10Tovma4    3:43 | and covering him over; so he was delivered into the hands 10Tovma4    3:43 | the prophet might be fulfilled: “ He who dug the pit will 10Tovma4    3:43 | fall into the abyss which he made himself 10Tovma4    3:44 | Then he was captured, and dragged in 10Tovma4    3:45 | the punishment of blinding; but he was not successful. Hasan was 10Tovma4    3:45 | his soul were opened. straightaway he became a monk, and lived 10Tovma4    3:46 | did not run peacefully as he wished, sometimes because of his 10Tovma4    3:49 | great defeat on the enemy. He returned to the city of 10Tovma4    3:49 | the city of Nakhchavan which he had put under his own 10Tovma4    3:49 | prey to a mortal illness, he departed this world aged about 10Tovma4    4:3 | in the fashion of historians. He calmed the land of Vaspurakan 10Tovma4    4:6 | activity of these two plotters, he attacked Shapuh, and laid such 10Tovma4    4:6 | the dire straits in which he and his accomplices were placed 10Tovma4    4:6 | gatherer, in such fashion did he descend from the impregnable heights 10Tovma4    4:6 | and tribute forever and that he would remain true at the 10Tovma4    4:8 | causing devastation in his province, he despatched an army against them 10Tovma4    4:9 | valiant hero, as mild as he was powerful, heeded their entreaties 10Tovma4    4:9 | power of his brave heart he never dreamed of being afraid 10Tovma4    4:9 | pity on them: first because he was merciful and very benevolent 10Tovma4    4:9 | and enemies, and second because he had taken the daughter of 10Tovma4    4:9 | of Apuhamza to wife. So he spared them, and having destroyed 10Tovma4    4:9 | the castle to its foundations, he confirmed for them their hereditary 10Tovma4    4:10 | In all this he succeeded by the grace of 10Tovma4    4:11 | of Sring and Jłmar. For he loved him with a very 10Tovma4    4:12 | So he seized the province of Eli 10Tovma4    4:12 | memory from the land. For he was a harsh man, brave 10Tovma4    4:16 | By God’s power he subjected to his authority and 10Tovma4    4:19 | But he advanced over the high summits 10Tovma4    4:20 | Having plundered the land, he returned to the province called 10Tovma4    4:20 | the province called Eriwark. There he captured the fortresses of Pat 10Tovma4    4:20 | to the valley of Aṙuank’, he seized that fortress too and 10Tovma4    4:22 | had made many efforts; but he was sadly killed without attaining 10Tovma4    4:24 | in war; afflicted by them, he ( in turn) afflicted them. So 10Tovma4    4:24 | So conceiving a grand plan, he stole on the castle by 10Tovma4    4:24 | the castle to the sword, he exterminated them from the earth 10Tovma4    4:25 | Their troublesome chieftains he cast headlong into the depths 10Tovma4    4:26 | expense and with numerous artisans he embellished the eastern side 10Tovma4    4:27 | He completely fortified it with impregnably 10Tovma4    4:32 | He was full of good works 10Tovma4    4:32 | the poor with liberal heart; he was magnanimous and zealous in 10Tovma4    4:32 | decoration and building of churches; he received orphans and widows, gave 10Tovma4    4:34 | He set off in pursuit with 10Tovma4    4:38 | against the prince. But since he had no success in this 10Tovma4    4:38 | by treacherous words and promises he deceived the man whom (Gagik 10Tovma4    4:38 | of the fortress of Amiuk; he was called Apusakr and was 10Tovma4    4:38 | of the Vahunik’. Like Judas he accepted the price, as did 10Tovma4    4:38 | accepted the price, as did he who sold God, and gave 10Tovma4    4:39 | gained control of the fortress, he then sold it again to 10Tovma4    4:41 | ascendancy over Persia and Armenia; he was named Yusup’, son of 10Tovma4    4:42 | He was moved to great wrath 10Tovma4    4:43 | prudent and renowned prince Gagik, he had desired for a long 10Tovma4    4:44 | So he then suddenly sent messengers with 10Tovma4    4:45 | He heeded the summons promptly in 10Tovma4    4:45 | when they encountered each other, he honoured the prince with great 10Tovma4    4:46 | beauty of his lovely face, he was amazed. On questioning him 10Tovma4    4:46 | in profound and inscrutable terms, he received replies of vast erudition 10Tovma4    4:46 | time profound and enigmatic, whereby he liberally and freely explained his 10Tovma4    4:47 | all the sons of men, he therefore submitted the splendid and 10Tovma4    4:47 | arduous investigation. Raising his eyes, he observed him and measured his 10Tovma4    4:47 | In every aspect of royalty he found him refined and endowed 10Tovma4    4:48 | He opened before him royal edicts 10Tovma4    4:48 | him for a solution; and he was assisted by him in 10Tovma4    4:49 | He showed him in royal fashion 10Tovma4    4:49 | derived from land and sea. He related to him the tales 10Tovma4    4:50 | He questioned him on the dynasties 10Tovma4    4:50 | is very pertinent for kings. He found him versed in everything 10Tovma4    4:51 | He interrogated the undefeated champion and 10Tovma4    4:51 | splendid prince on the battles he had fought, and surrounded him 10Tovma4    4:51 | with warriors to observe him. He found him like a high 10Tovma4    4:52 | and divine prince Gagik, and he greatly rejoiced at his visit 10Tovma4    4:53 | ruler Yusup’, in his jealousy he raged against him with profoundly 10Tovma4    4:53 | what is God’s to God.” He thus worthily indicated (that one 10Tovma4    4:53 | one should pay) royal taxes. He even sent Peter to the 10Tovma4    4:53 | who had asked him. This he gave for the chief of 10Tovma4    4:55 | with an enormous armed host. He inflicted on us many calamities 10Tovma4    4:56 | When Smbat saw that he had no means of resisting 10Tovma4    4:56 | of resisting the Persian ruler, he fled and fortified himself in 10Tovma4    4:57 | save only Gagik, whose qualities he had tested and knew, he 10Tovma4    4:57 | he had tested and knew, he did not leave him to 10Tovma4    4:58 | On his head he placed a crown of pure 10Tovma4    4:59 | He clothed him in a robe 10Tovma4    4:60 | He set him on a horse 10Tovma4    4:61 | In such splendour did he entrust into his hands the 10Tovma4    4:62 | the court. Flouting their orders, he captured many cities and put 10Tovma4    4:63 | Gagik was reigning over Armenia, he sent him a crown and 10Tovma4    4:65 | to the impregnable (castle) Dariunk’, he took it by stealth at 10Tovma4    4:65 | being granted success from above. He also captured the castle of 10Tovma4    4:65 | of Maku. Advancing from there, he took the castle of Ułē 10Tovma4    4:68 | him to the royal court. He was imprisoned for eight years 10Tovma4    4:68 | as the great cities which he had seized by force in 10Tovma4    4:69 | had been given to him, he had no time to visit 10Tovma4    4:69 | time to visit Atrpatakan, but he sent faithful prefects to whom 10Tovma4    4:69 | sent faithful prefects to whom he entrusted (that land). He also 10Tovma4    4:69 | whom he entrusted (that land). He also sent a crown and 10Tovma4    4:71 | a fool all his life.” He reflected on the vicissitudes of 10Tovma4    4:71 | soon comes to an end; he raised the eyes of his 10Tovma4    4:71 | the eternal and incorruptible life; he lifted himself up with brave 10Tovma4    4:71 | brave fortitude and perfect knowledge; he granted prosperity to the land 10Tovma4    4:71 | and of the monasteries, whereby he perpetually glorified the souls of 10Tovma4    4:72 | He offered masses and sacrifices with 10Tovma4    4:73 | Not only did he multiply so many (offerings), but 10Tovma4    4:73 | so many (offerings), but daily he remembered compassion for this life 10Tovma4    4:73 | four corners of the land he gave these to monasteries of 10Tovma4    4:73 | of holy and ascetic monks; he established days of festivity and 10Tovma4    4:74 | He reckoned that perchance he might 10Tovma4    4:74 | He reckoned that perchance he might, on that last fearsome 10Tovma4    4:75 | of Armenia; over the countryside he poured out peace in flowing 10Tovma4    5:2 | and wisdom of the king, he abandoned his ferocious evil deeds 10Tovma4    5:2 | to peace and real friendship. He entrusted to the king the 10Tovma4    5:2 | with him) a peace treaty, he went to Persia 10Tovma4    5:3 | While he was planning to enjoy a 10Tovma4    5:3 | messengers arrived with orders that he should go to wage war 10Tovma4    5:4 | He set off with a numberless 10Tovma4    5:4 | On reaching the royal palace, he took many more troops as 10Tovma4    5:4 | troops were completely defeated and he himself captured. A little later 10Tovma4    5:4 | himself captured. A little later he was killed, but I do 10Tovma4    6:3 | Again elsewhere he says: “A land is shaken 10Tovma4    6:3 | fourth. If a slave rules, he shakes the land; and if 10Tovma4    6:3 | fool is sated with bread, he will act likewise.” In truth 10Tovma4    7:1 | love for peace and prosperity, he cared for this land of 10Tovma4    7:1 | guardian. In his benevolent mercy he took care of the poor 10Tovma4    7:3 | as a fine.” And if he sees the sun casting its 10Tovma4    7:3 | command of God the provider, he addresses it: “Why instead of 10Tovma4    7:3 | gold on me?” And if he sees a spring of crystal 10Tovma4    7:3 | spring of crystal-pure water, he says: “I am not thirsty 10Tovma4    7:4 | by such a fearful affliction; he cares not only for his 10Tovma4    7:4 | the whole land of Armenia. He gives piles of treasure into 10Tovma4    7:9 | He walled the side by the 10Tovma4    7:9 | the wall, facing the sea, he built a pavilion for gatherings 10Tovma4    7:10 | The gates he designed in the form of 10Tovma4    7:10 | air and refreshing (shade); and he provided windows to let in 10Tovma4    8:3 | a refuge from enemy raids, he undertook to build on it 10Tovma4    8:4 | He commanded many artisans and innumerable 10Tovma4    8:4 | land. On top of this he drew a line and raised 10Tovma4    8:5 | The end of the wall he led into a narrow cavern 10Tovma4    8:6 | deep constructions in the sea he set gates, fearful to behold 10Tovma4    8:6 | with nails. In this way he cut off part of the 10Tovma4    8:7 | buildings and constructions, and that he might order that the place 10Tovma4    8:8 | worthy of the king’s recreation. He extended walls, laid out streets 10Tovma4    8:8 | and flower gardens. All this he quickly brought to completion 10Tovma4    8:9 | And he planted many trees, which were 10Tovma4    8:12 | if honouring a king first he must remove his head covering 10Tovma4    8:12 | and then twisting his neck he will scarcely be able to 10Tovma4    8:13 | many hours, on coming out he would be unable to tell 10Tovma4    8:13 | tell anyone anything of what he had seen 10Tovma4    8:16 | construction of the palace. And he has certainly modified his account 10Tovma4    8:17 | He ( Gagik) also walled with unassailable 10Tovma4    8:18 | in diversity, I think that he would fall into incomprehension and 10Tovma4    9:1 | savage race of Ismael. These he bound by his own hand 10Tovma4    9:1 | a bridle, as it were, he broke their force, beginning from 10Tovma4    9:2 | Whom he wished he spared, and those 10Tovma4    9:2 | Whom he wished he spared, and those from whom 10Tovma4    9:2 | spared, and those from whom he wished nothing he exterminated. He 10Tovma4    9:2 | from whom he wished nothing he exterminated. He threw some onto 10Tovma4    9:2 | he wished nothing he exterminated. He threw some onto others, and 10Tovma4    9:2 | Advancing on others in war, he put them to the sword 10Tovma4    9:3 | king was making these (expeditions), he increased his attacks on Asorestan 10Tovma4    9:4 | of the tribe called Zurarek, he completely destroyed and exterminated that 10Tovma4    9:4 | the fortress to its foundations, he removed its stones over the 10Tovma4    9:6 | and proficient at his work, he skillfully built the church as 10Tovma4    9:6 | monk whom we mentioned above he entrusted the decoration of the 10Tovma4    9:6 | to our Lord Jesus Christ. He arranged the ranks of prophets 10Tovma4    9:7 | He created and brought together on 10Tovma4    9:7 | very pleasing to wise men.

He ruled numerous districts, fortresses and 12Last1    1:21 | He set up officials, judges and 12Last1    1:21 | and overseers in them. Then he went on his way in 12Last1    1:22 | as for the emperor himself, he went and concerned himself with 12Last1    1:22 | in) the western parts, for he had mastered the land of 12Last1    1:22 | his reign, (waging) uneasy wars, he had been unable to get 12Last1    1:25 | Then he treacherously assembled in one place 12Last1    1:25 | of that land as if he were going to give them 12Last1    1:28 | taking pride in his youth, he wrote a contrary reply: “I 12Last1    1:28 | when the emperor heard this, he sent an army to forcibly 12Last1    2:0 | mighty and successful in warfare. He had kept the land of 12Last1    2:7 | fat, but they say that he was more learned than many 12Last1    2:8 | Abkhazia, came and reconciled them. He gave to the doubly-named 12Last1    2:8 | on account of (Smbat’s) seniority. He gave the lower part of 12Last1    2:9 | his city. On the way, he dismounted to spend the night 12Last1    2:9 | weight of his body, and he slept unconcernedly. Now a certain 12Last1    2:10 | this, greatly angered and enraged he sent a force after (Smbat 12Last1    2:13 | to Georgi who ordered that he be put in prison. But 12Last1    2:13 | taken three fortresses from (Smbat), he released him 12Last1    2:14 | took many places from him. He was unable to bear this 12Last1    2:14 | of the Byzantine emperor. Since he pleased him, (Ashot) requested auxiliary 12Last1    2:14 | him, (Ashot) requested auxiliary troops. He took them and came to 12Last1    2:18 | He came and encamped in the 12Last1    2:19 | his hopes on that (happening). He awaited (Georgi’s) arrival, moving from 12Last1    2:19 | frightened him (by saying): “When he sees you, either you will 12Last1    2:19 | either you will die, or he will shackle you and you 12Last1    2:20 | two and three times, since he greatly desired that his journey 12Last1    2:21 | through fire, sword, and captivity. He ordered the captives to be 12Last1    2:21 | taken to Xaghteac’ district, while he himself crossed Basean and reached 12Last1    2:23 | When the emperor heard this he became increasingly enraged, and turned 12Last1    2:26 | anybody. And in this way he demolished and polluted [12] districts 12Last1    2:29 | His laws, as Job note: “ He shall requite those who hate 12Last1    2:34 | anger did not fade, rather, he continued to raise his hand 12Last1    2:34 | evil. And through this deed he made the well-cultivated country 12Last1    2:35 | wintering quarters in temperate Pontus, he encamped in the Xaghteac’ district 12Last1    2:39 | so that after my death he shall inherit my city and 12Last1    2:39 | my city and country.” For he had no royal heir for 12Last1    3:1 | Tayk’. Bypassing numerous lodging stops, he came and camped in the 12Last1    3:4 | they forcibly convinced him until he accepted 12Last1    3:5 | emperor (Basil) heard about this, he fell into great uneasiness, and 12Last1    3:9 | coming to himself after drunkenness, he realized the impropriety of the 12Last1    3:9 | day, at an unexpected hour, he took the one whom they 12Last1    3:9 | Suddenly, pulling out his sword he killed (Nicephor Phocas), beheaded him 12Last1    3:11 | emperor saw the tyrant’s head, he ordered it raised aloft on 12Last1    3:11 | the rebels. (Basil) did as he did out of his deep 12Last1    3:12 | the large plain of Basen. He sent cavalrymen of the heathen 12Last1    3:12 | capture the rebel P’ers, while he himself went to the border 12Last1    4:0 | The emperor, during the days he remained at Salk’ora, sent emissaries 12Last1    4:0 | him using pleasant words, for he was demanding three fortresses with 12Last1    4:1 | the emperor giving him what he requested. (Bishop Zak’aria) took the 12Last1    4:2 | to the lodging-place where he was spending the night, to 12Last1    4:3 | has more troops than anyone. He is militarily strong, and ready 12Last1    4:3 | heard this, moved to anger he note: “You have come from 12Last1    4:3 | rebels to terrify me.” And he ordered that (Zak’aria) be lead 12Last1    4:3 | you as a fugitive.” But he commanded those taking him to 12Last1    4:3 | returned to his place. No, he remained (in Constantinople) until the 12Last1    4:4 | secured themselves with a rampart, he attempted the following wily scheme 12Last1    4:4 | attempted the following wily scheme: he sent one of his bishops 12Last1    4:4 | bishops as an emissary, then he, with the troops, proceeded after 12Last1    4:4 | coming upon (the Byzantines) unexpectedly, he could put them to flight 12Last1    4:6 | one place, before the emperor. He commanded that (the heads) be 12Last1    4:7 | himself stripped of all hope, he beseeched the emperor to come 12Last1    4:8 | them after three years. Then he and his troops circulated around 12Last1    4:8 | the extensive plain of Her. He commanded the troops to cut 12Last1    4:8 | cut down the city’s orchards. He who was prince of that 12Last1    4:8 | city beseeched the emperor that ( he permit him) to be tributary 12Last1    4:13 | of Constantinople. After three years he released the son of the 12Last1    4:14 | He himself grew ill with the 12Last1    4:14 | emperor perceived their guile and he ordered his attendants: “Bring me 12Last1    4:15 | When the emperor saw this, he placed the crown of the 12Last1    4:15 | and confirmed him as emperor. He instructed him, as David (had 12Last1    4:15 | But not as David, (rather) he should seek other causes (for 12Last1    4:15 | and after two days, died [A.D. 1025]. He had reigned for fifty years 12Last1    4:16 | While he was dying a certain marvelous 12Last1    4:16 | heavens. In the evening, as he was breathing his last, a 12Last1    5:0 | his brother Constantine [VIII, 1025-1028] ruled. Because he was a peace-loving and 12Last1    5:0 | peace-loving and generous (man), he was quiet for the first 12Last1    5:0 | rested from that great crisis. He confirmed (in office) those princes 12Last1    5:0 | of the district of Vaspurakan. He had displayed extremely great feats 12Last1    5:1 | the emperor heard about this, he did not do anything immediately 12Last1    5:1 | immediately to punish (Komianos), rather, he bided his time for an 12Last1    5:1 | for an entire year until he was more in control 12Last1    5:2 | commencement of the second year, he sent an executioner who came 12Last1    5:3 | be overseer of the land. He arrived and crossed through the 12Last1    5:3 | district of Georgia. Through deception he expelled from their patrimonies numerous 12Last1    5:4 | with numerous troops. Having arrived, he crossed the land of Georgia 12Last1    5:4 | the land of Georgia. But he was unable to do anything 12Last1    5:4 | about this, taking the troops, he immediately returned to Constantinople 12Last1    6:1 | Constantine, succeeded him. Like (Basil), he too did not have a 12Last1    6:1 | not have a son, rather, he had two daughters. He gave 12Last1    6:1 | rather, he had two daughters. He gave Zoe, the senior (daughter 12Last1    6:1 | in his stead. Then dying, he followed (the path of) all 12Last1    6:2 | to take and destroy it. He came upon the mountain called 12Last1    6:2 | mountain called Sew (Black) where he saw a multitude of monks 12Last1    6:2 | with this difference, namely) that he had eaten locusts and wild 12Last1    6:4 | When the emperor saw them, he asked of his worthies: “What 12Last1    6:5 | He took the Syrian bishop to 12Last1    6:5 | him to ridicule and ignominy. He ordered that his beard be 12Last1    6:5 | be shorn off, and that he be led around the squares 12Last1    6:5 | to be spat upon. Later he ordered (the bishop) taken into 12Last1    6:5 | bishop) taken into exile, where he died 12Last1    6:6 | was just such a fool. He did not think about how 12Last1    6:6 | Instead, with a capricious order he wanted to introduce changes into 12Last1    6:6 | the Lord’s unerring command: “And he who falls on this stone 12Last1    6:8 | humiliated by his grievous impiety, he managed to recall the words 12Last1    7:2 | When emperor Romanus heard this, he wrote (to Salamay) a document 12Last1    8:0 | emperor, in no wise is he worthy of good remembrances. On 12Last1    8:0 | good remembrances. On Holy Thursday he left the palace to give 12Last1    8:0 | accordance with (his) authority. When he had completed this matter, he 12Last1    8:0 | he had completed this matter, he commanded that a golden pool 12Last1    8:1 | As soon as he entered that golden basin filled 12Last1    8:1 | submerged him under water until he gave up the ghost. The 12Last1    9:1 | He who holds sway (having inherited 12Last1    9:1 | grand-fathers is iron; but he who comes from the outside 12Last1    9:1 | of an emperor, nor did he have the authority of a 12Last1    9:1 | officer (of the army); rather he was an insignificant palace functionary 12Last1    9:1 | Michael’s) account. They say that he was one of the murderers 12Last1    9:2 | emperor’s body and claimed that he had died accidentally. Shortly thereafter 12Last1    9:2 | had numerous relatives and brothers, he placed the supreme authority in 12Last1    9:3 | One of his brothers he made a magister giving him 12Last1    9:3 | the western parts; one (brother) he styled demeslikos and sent him 12Last1    9:4 | by a dew, even while he went to the churches and 12Last1    9:4 | kingdom was not properly his, he would go to the city 12Last1    9:5 | through a demon of prostitution he had inflamed the queen with 12Last1    9:13 | by anyone, destitute and homeless. He came from the eastern parts 12Last1    9:13 | is me, woe is me!” He said no more than this 12Last1    9:13 | but only repeat endlessly what he had said 12Last1    9:14 | people, seeing him, thought that he had gone out of his 12Last1    9:15 | reigning for [7] years and [8] months, he grew ill and died. Now 12Last1    9:17 | Now (Michael [V]) as soon as he observed their strength and unity 12Last1    9:17 | hiding under the altar. However, he was unable to reach (the 12Last1    10:1 | kingdom. Many people thought that he was her lover. I do 12Last1    10:2 | with him. With numerous troops he came as far as the 12Last1    10:2 | him. For they believed that he would be emperor, because of 12Last1    10:4 | this in the wisest fashion. He who is more awesome than 12Last1    10:4 | glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that 12Last1    10:5 | soul of strength and prophecy, ( he could crush wild beasts as 12Last1    10:5 | kids). Confident of his (powers) he battled against the unbeatable giant 12Last1    10:6 | caller’s order. Not only did he not attempt to rule his 12Last1    10:6 | brute force, but two times he let his hands drop, sparing 12Last1    10:6 | Do not touch him, for he is the Lord’s anointed” [I Kings 24.7]. For 12Last1    10:7 | not heed God’s command. Rather, he wanted to rule alone, without 12Last1    10:9 | no authority except from God” [Romans 13.1]. He was not speaking about a 12Last1    10:10 | Paul added: “Therefore he who resists the authorities resists 12Last1    10:10 | what befell (Maneak’s son), for he was not punished by any 12Last1    10:16 | he solemn places in the monasteries 12Last1    10:20 | the illness that killed him, he ordered those close to him 12Last1    10:21 | When the emperor saw him, he gave him a letter regarding 12Last1    10:22 | time of Michael’s reign, when he sold it to him for 12Last1    10:23 | news of the kings’ deaths, he found that document dealing with 12Last1    10:23 | the districts surrounding it, for he had gathered up all the 12Last1    10:25 | Sargis saw what had developed, he took the royal treasures and 12Last1    10:25 | heartedness, and, using beseeching words, he was able to persuade him 12Last1    10:25 | fortified city called Surmarhi. However, he gave to Gagik neither the 12Last1    10:25 | futile scheme; to give whatever he possessed to the Byzantines, and 12Last1    10:25 | the tent where Sargis was. He arrested him and entered his 12Last1    10:26 | own carriage. Therefore, like Saul, he was requited with a life 12Last1    10:31 | the king, at dawn when he came forth from the city 12Last1    10:31 | came forth from the city, he resembled the bride-groom arising 12Last1    10:38 | extremely inhuman and cruel since he became the cause of so 12Last1    10:38 | deprived of its fence and he destroyed its towers, making of 12Last1    10:40 | nature, but (in any case) he gave the keys of the 12Last1    10:41 | on the throne, but rather he listened to the deceitful support 12Last1    10:41 | the (Byzantine) emperor saw (Gagik), he forgot about his oath and 12Last1    10:41 | intercession of the Cross. No, he obliged (Gagik) to remain with 12Last1    10:42 | so learned in theology that he was without equal. When he 12Last1    10:42 | he was without equal. When he realized that they would not 12Last1    10:42 | all of his patrimonial inheritance. He was honored by the emperor 12Last1    10:44 | would be given to somebody, he sent to the man who 12Last1    10:44 | built by Samson, in antiquity). He wrote (as follows): “Inform the 12Last1    10:44 | on and find out) what he will give us in return 12Last1    10:45 | given him the place which he himself wanted (but) which was 12Last1    10:45 | Ani or the other lands ( he was deprived of). Rather, (the 12Last1    10:45 | sector, since when Dawit’ died he had left no other heir 12Last1    10:46 | city of Ani. Upon arrival he elevated the patriarch Petros with 12Last1    10:47 | But when the latter arrived, he did not honor the patriarch 12Last1    10:47 | with the previous dignity. Instead he commenced writing accusatorial letters to 12Last1    10:48 | part of the plain. There he gloriously and appropriately celebrated the 12Last1    10:48 | Petros) inquired of him why he wanted this, learned that he 12Last1    10:48 | he wanted this, learned that he desired to become Christian, and 12Last1    11:2 | However, He Who limited the ocean, saying 12Last1    11:2 | them and stopped their advance. He did this in His fathomless 12Last1    11:3 | against Him. But once again He regretted this and ceased visiting 12Last1    11:3 | His evils upon us, for He is merciful. But He did 12Last1    11:3 | for He is merciful. But He did not grow totally angry 12Last1    11:3 | grow totally angry nor did He hold His grudge forever. He 12Last1    11:3 | He hold His grudge forever. He was obliged to try us 12Last1    11:3 | obliged to try us, since He is the righteous judge; yet 12Last1    11:3 | is the righteous judge; yet He hastened with His mercy, since 12Last1    11:3 | hastened with His mercy, since He is the forgiving Father. He 12Last1    11:3 | He is the forgiving Father. He regretted the evils visited upon 12Last1    11:3 | evils visited upon us since He is the God of mercy 12Last1    11:3 | the God of mercy. Indeed, He displayed both (wrath and forgiveness 12Last1    11:4 | For when (pharaoh) was tormented he would confess: “This is the 12Last1    11:4 | had passed, filled with impiety, he would say: “I do not 12Last1    11:4 | I let Israel go” [Exodus 5.2]. When he received the final punishment, becoming 12Last1    11:4 | finger, ended with ten. Then he released Israel 12Last1    11:7 | is iniquitous, to the unjust He is unjust. We were like 12Last1    11:9 | mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, ’Do you think 12Last1    11:9 | words of Amos with which he insulted Israel, drinking strained wine 12Last1    11:16 | threats of the prophet—and he a foreigner who had entered 12Last1    11:26 | think to caress the wife he longed for. Hymns of the 12Last1    11:34 | of death, fled from Jezebel, he went to (mount) Koreb, and 12Last1    12:6 | He who cheated his friend boasted 12Last1    12:6 | boasted about being wise, while he who ravished said, “I am 12Last1    12:7 | Accursed is he who ravishes the fields of 12Last1    12:9 | need for my own composition. He rebuked the women of Jerusalem 12Last1    12:19 | whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God 12Last1    12:19 | is offering service to God” [John 16.2]. He Himself made the reason clear 12Last1    13:6 | generous gifts of treasure; but he was unable to accomplish anything 12Last1    13:9 | to the Caliph as though ( he were) a great treasure, more 12Last1    14:0 | the (Byzantine) king saw (Petros), he received him with great respect 12Last1    14:0 | with a generous stipend. However, he kept him there with him 12Last1    14:0 | three years, fearing that if he let him return to Armenia 12Last1    14:1 | of the Holy Cross, which he himself had constructed with numerous 12Last1    14:2 | the king heard about this, he sent messengers, and had (Xach’ik 12Last1    14:3 | released from the royal city. He came to the borders of 12Last1    14:4 | Now the reason that he had tarried in Constantinople was 12Last1    14:4 | frightened by their words, rather he held fast 12Last1    16:21 | when the Sultan saw him, he note: “If (Arsuban’s son) lives 12Last1    16:22 | Otherwise, if he dies, I will order you 12Last1    16:22 | him.” A few days later, he died, now (when first being 12Last1    16:22 | If I struck him, then he will not live, but if 12Last1    16:22 | that (the son) had died, he ordered (T’at’ul) killed, and had 12Last1    16:25 | marvel at) God’s wisdom, for He struck him a blow, and 12Last1    16:26 | livestock were caught unawares. Had he but prolonged the siege for 12Last1    16:26 | the siege for ten days, he would have taken the city 12Last1    16:27 | the impregnable fortress called Awnik. He observed there a great concourse 12Last1    16:27 | animals, but did nothing, because he could tell just by looking 12Last1    16:27 | unassailable. So, passing it by, he came to the head of 12Last1    16:28 | it for many long hours, he turned away. Now the people 12Last1    16:29 | unconcerned (because they were prepared). He came, boiling with anger, and 12Last1    16:29 | superintendence of the city, since he was a pious man, called 12Last1    16:29 | and prayer. Armed with this, he became yet stronger in the 12Last1    16:30 | Reading psalms, he said to God: “Lord, I 12Last1    16:31 | He encouraged the men of the 12Last1    16:31 | and confess His name, that He give strength and steadfastness to 12Last1    16:31 | and steadfastness to His people, He Who is blessed for all 12Last1    16:32 | He urged the priests to pray 12Last1    16:32 | wearied by the din and he inquired what the ceaseless clamor 12Last1    16:33 | one month, and each day he would offer battle twice: once 12Last1    16:33 | observe here God’s wisdom, how He knows how to use adversaries 12Last1    16:34 | in writing what (military) plans he learned from the Sultan 12Last1    16:35 | Often, he would write (such information) on 12Last1    16:35 | into the city. Thus did he acquaint (the citizens with all 12Last1    16:36 | should it be surprising if He directed the city’s salvation by 12Last1    16:41 | battle with our people, for he was a brave man. Coming 12Last1    16:41 | the breach (in the wall) he wanted to enter in force 12Last1    16:41 | enter in force, but suddenly he himself fell. Then those who 12Last1    16:43 | He rode up to the baban 12Last1    16:43 | the contents of the bottle ( he was carrying) upon the baban 12Last1    16:44 | As for (the general), he peacefully entered the city unharmed 12Last1    16:44 | had happened, burning with rage he ordered the (machine’s) guards executed 12Last1    16:45 | those who fear Him?

He went away, and en route 12Last1    16:53 | Sultan’s heart a little, nonetheless, he returned to his own land 12Last1    16:53 | land in great sadness, since he had been unable to accomplish 12Last1    16:53 | been unable to accomplish what he had wanted 12Last1    17:1 | behave in this fashion. Rather, he was constantly preoccupied with eating 12Last1    17:1 | preoccupied with eating and drinking. He elevated filthy people, and as 12Last1    17:1 | as for those taxes which he collected from all lands, which 12Last1    17:1 | collected from all lands, which he should have spent on the 12Last1    17:2 | For so much did he love harlots and whores that 12Last1    17:2 | could not satiate him. No, he had women brought in from 12Last1    17:5 | keeping the purveyor of them, he took (that man) along with 12Last1    17:10 | death was most regrettable, because he was only a lad and 12Last1    17:10 | resembling the prophet David, and he was braver than many 12Last1    17:13 | me wondering “How long will he continue to thrust before us 12Last1    17:15 | the son is mine” [Ezekiel 18. 2-4]. And He freed the son from his 12Last1    17:17 | would not accept them, since he recognized his own and was 12Last1    17:29 | not unknown to Him, that He not say: “I do not 12Last1    17:29 | ranks of His friends, that He say to us: “Come, O 12Last1    18:2 | satiated the Sultan as though he were a famished beast, giving 12Last1    18:2 | a plethora of gifts that he forgot to attack us. Rather 12Last1    18:2 | forgot to attack us. Rather, he continued fighting in Babylon and 12Last1    18:2 | and the surrounding areas, since he was a very martial man 12Last1    18:12 | sway, on the contrary, since he was uncivil, infected with Robovam’s 12Last1    18:12 | uncivil, infected with Robovam’s disease, he kept some princes (with him 12Last1    18:13 | At court he said to the grandees: “Either 12Last1    18:25 | had been split in two, he went and deceitfully took the 12Last1    18:25 | Eghanc’ Berd. After taking it, he turned back to the district 12Last1    18:26 | government) of the East. Instantly he ordered (the judge) arrested and 12Last1    18:26 | ordered (the judge) arrested and he stripped him of inestimable treasure 12Last1    18:26 | donkeys and everything else which he had amassed in the East 12Last1    18:27 | For a while he attempted take it by deception 12Last1    18:27 | that I may enter.” When he was unable to subdue them 12Last1    18:27 | subdue them in this manner, he fought, hoping to master the 12Last1    18:28 | heard what was going on, he sent one of his principals 12Last1    18:28 | to his own place. And he sent to the Persians to 12Last1    18:29 | the multitude of their troops, he was awed. For there was 12Last1    18:36 | No more does He forgive and pardon, but would 12Last1    18:47 | He beseeched us through His prophets 12Last1    18:48 | We neglected His words. Consequently, He did not hear us in 12Last1    18:48 | our time of need. No, He turned His face away from 12Last1    20:0 | Comnenus (Komianos), since he was generous and quite wealthy 12Last1    20:0 | conditions seemed favorable to Comnenus, he beseeched him, and started sending 12Last1    20:0 | of the East, if only, he said, (Comnenus) remain at peace 12Last1    20:3 | an island, though some say he went gladly. All this took 12Last1    21:0 | and by means of them He judged us, in accordance with 12Last1    21:1 | become familiar with Him. And He commanded that (we) resemble him 12Last1    21:2 | need and of our torments, He ignored us, and we were 12Last1    21:13 | and when it is appropriate, He advises us sweetly and with 12Last1    21:13 | do not heed His counsel, He torments us with His lordly 12Last1    21:14 | Some sinners He tries in this world, so 12Last1    21:14 | will be the lighter, Others He keeps for the next world 12Last1    21:25 | the prince of the fortress. He had covered the snow with 12Last1    21:25 | curved over to one side. He shot at (the Seljuk’s) throat 12Last1    21:28 | son, the great Gregory, when he was lord of the country 12Last1    22:0 | the inception of his rule, he displayed himself as a virtuous 12Last1    22:0 | fasts, and going about barefoot. He selected priests who circulated around 12Last1    22:1 | In this fashion, he had moved many people to 12Last1    22:1 | him in obedience that if he had ordered them to die 12Last1    22:5 | had them in mind (when He said) in His live-giving 12Last1    22:14 | For he was an extremely great publicist 12Last1    22:14 | an extremely great publicist, and he bewitched the ears of many 12Last1    22:14 | oratory. On such a foundation he thought he could overthrow the 12Last1    22:14 | such a foundation he thought he could overthrow the blessed Church 12Last1    22:14 | could overthrow the blessed Church. He did not recall the Lord’s 12Last1    22:15 | did not believe this; rather, he considered these singular words those 12Last1    22:15 | of an ordinary man. Therefore, he entered battle, thinking to shear 12Last1    22:17 | how with serpent-like duplicity he schemed to inject his polluting 12Last1    22:18 | First, he began selecting among the priests 12Last1    22:18 | then added something to it: he ordered those worthy (priests) to 12Last1    22:19 | his confession must be accepted, he must be given communion in 12Last1    22:20 | On the contrary he taught that if the sinner 12Last1    22:20 | it is bad enough that he, during his lifetime sinned and 12Last1    22:24 | princes’ aid, not on God, he did not think about the 12Last1    22:24 | princes” [Psalms 117.8]. The wretch thought that he could vanquish truth with human 12Last1    22:25 | of those who fear Him, He hears the prayers of those 12Last1    22:25 | of one just man, and He also visited us and saved 12Last1    22:25 | Indeed, in this matter too He also disposed of things in 12Last1    22:26 | carefully kept watch over matters. He was an extremely learned man 12Last1    22:27 | as events continued to unfold, he summoned that wretched man to 12Last1    22:27 | him as was meet. For he removed him from the ranks 12Last1    22:27 | the likeness of a fox, he loudly preached: “Whoever quits the 12Last1    22:28 | be confined in prison, since he wanted him to repent yet 12Last1    22:28 | of that loathsome sect. For he was greatly concerned over the 12Last1    22:29 | fled across Byzantine territory until he reached the royal city of 12Last1    22:29 | royal city of Constantinople. There he slandered our (Armenian Apostolic) faith 12Last1    22:30 | beasts called T’ondrak, where, temporarily, he nestled in secret 12Last1    22:31 | of his excessive impurity. Consequently, he left that place and went 12Last1    22:31 | the mountain of Xlat’ where he found his own folk settled 12Last1    22:31 | and in open places, and he tarried with them. Having spent 12Last1    22:31 | Having spent some time there, he departed for the city called 12Last1    22:31 | Muharkin (Tigranakert, Martyropolis, Mufarghin) where he wickedly perished 12Last1    23:1 | He had studied with a certain 12Last1    23:6 | brother to these sorceresses. Previously he had been correct in the 12Last1    23:6 | deeds, to the point that he had had constructed a clerical 12Last1    23:6 | therein. Within its extensive confines he kept them free from want 12Last1    23:7 | much to serve their needs. He proved himself more forward than 12Last1    23:12 | of God and His saints. He forsook the Lord in whose 12Last1    23:12 | Lord in whose blessed font he had been baptized; he forgot 12Last1    23:12 | font he had been baptized; he forgot God Who had nourished 12Last1    23:13 | Having left the house, he fell from honor. He forgot 12Last1    23:13 | house, he fell from honor. He forgot the divine covenant, and 12Last1    23:13 | assembly-place for clerics, which he had constructed with very great 12Last1    23:18 | Sunday. Observing that frightful scene, he grabbed his own collar and 12Last1    23:18 | place to immediately come forth, he gathered them. Seeing (the damaged 12Last1    23:20 | district’s bishops, presbyters, and fathers, he took them and went and 12Last1    23:21 | He further arrested six of them 12Last1    23:21 | the town named Jerma. And he commanded that their faces be 12Last1    23:23 | affairs of the land. When he reached the Ekegheac’ district, that 12Last1    23:24 | heard this, becoming increasingly enraged, he sent soldiers to bring before 12Last1    23:31 | Bless the Lord, for He worked a miracle” [Psalms 97.1], etc. Praying 12Last1    23:32 | Now the judge, when he heard about the divine dispensation 12Last1    23:32 | In trembling from extreme amazement, he prayed prayers of atonement and 12Last1    23:32 | God’s aid: “I not, ignorantly,” he said, “distort Your laws, Lord 12Last1    23:34 | colors. So was (Vrverh) when he observed the strengthening of justice 12Last1    23:34 | the strengthening of justice, which he could not resist; for when 12Last1    23:35 | What could he do, what ruse could he 12Last1    23:35 | he do, what ruse could he find? He promised that he 12Last1    23:35 | what ruse could he find? He promised that he would become 12Last1    23:35 | he find? He promised that he would become a Roman (Chalcedonian 12Last1    23:35 | bribing a bishop named Episarhat, he agreed to become his adopted 12Last1    23:36 | very considerate of this. Consequently, he gave (Vrverh) to the bishop 12Last1    23:38 | fingers had so dried up, he was unable to eat; whatever 12Last1    23:38 | was unable to eat; whatever he was able to get down 12Last1    23:38 | was able to get down, he then threw up, since his 12Last1    23:38 | his esophagus was blocked. So, he remained until his death and 12Last1    23:39 | However, he did not repent, nor did 12Last1    23:39 | did not repent, nor did he remember his previous piety. Rather 12Last1    23:39 | remember his previous piety. Rather, he remained inflamed with that same 12Last1    23:39 | that same diabolic heresy until he quit this life. The aches 12Last1    23:39 | constant reminder of Gehena where he is being tormented 12Last1    24:6 | rage and wrath, (Whose cup) He lowers for sinners to drink 12Last1    24:8 | among those far and near. He trampled on and overturned many 12Last1    24:8 | and overturned many lands until he reached the city (of Ani 12Last1    24:9 | He pitched his tent opposite the 12Last1    24:9 | the breadth of the country. He tried and devised stratagems to 12Last1    24:9 | opposed his kingdom, but because he grew disheartened because of the 12Last1    24:9 | battle was growing more intense, he wanted to depart 12Last1    24:10 | He did not know that the 12Last1    25:2 | the enumeration of emperors. When he saw that the king of 12Last1    25:3 | arrogance and in great rage, he crossed the sea, as though 12Last1    25:3 | the land. Halting in Biwt’ania, he assembled a countless host, for 12Last1    25:3 | countless host, for yet did he possess a broad and extensive 12Last1    25:4 | troops assembled in one place, he arrogantly grew proud, thinking it 12Last1    25:4 | born of this earth. But he did not remember the words 12Last1    25:5 | along a different road, while he himself with a great host 12Last1    25:5 | great host travelled East until he reached the great city of 12Last1    25:5 | of T’eodupolis (Karin, Erzerum), where he arranged the cavalry 12Last1    25:7 | war using only those men he then had with him 12Last1    25:8 | He quickly reached the place where 12Last1    25:8 | district of Manazkert. There did he pitch his royal tent, opposite 12Last1    25:8 | opposite the Persian brigade, and he fortified the area around himself 12Last1    25:9 | impossible for him to fight. He considered it better to fight 12Last1    25:9 | masses than against three. Therefore, he hurried and speeded up the 12Last1    25:12 | for the turn of events) he had filled up with rage 12Last1    25:12 | them with hatred. Yet, when he saw them fighting with dedication 12Last1    25:12 | them fighting with dedication, when he saw the boldness of those 12Last1    25:12 | of loyal bravery), then did he display great affection for them 12Last1    25:13 | emperor looked up from where he was seated, and he observed 12Last1    25:13 | where he was seated, and he observed the champions, and he 12Last1    25:13 | he observed the champions, and he saw his troops in confusion 12Last1    25:13 | in confusion and flight. So he quickly arose and dressed and 12Last1    25:14 | He made corpses of many of 12Last1    25:14 | terror into the troops. But he did not know that the 12Last1    25:14 | weapon and shield, nor did He unsheathe His sword against the 12Last1    25:14 | did not intervene nor was He for us a horn of 12Last1    25:15 | Rather, He kept His strength to Himself 12Last1    25:15 | insults of our neighbors, and He gave us as lambs for 12Last1    25:15 | from our troops and princes. He took from them sword and 12Last1    25:16 | king of Persia as though he were a frightened, guilty slave 12Last1    25:16 | does not destroy the one He is advising. Rather, He pardons 12Last1    25:16 | one He is advising. Rather, He pardons us after a little 12Last1    25:16 | that we understand our weakness. He kept and pardoned that occupant 12Last1    25:16 | upon a beloved brother. And he released him graciously and with 12Last1    25:19 | many (foreign) peoples for vengeance. ( He brought) from the Mountains of 12Last1    25:20 | victories of the three battles he had waged. While it is 12Last1    25:20 | time Manazkert remained impregnable, nonetheless he was able to overturn many 12Last1    25:20 | Furthermore (during) the second (invasion) he overturned Ani with the stabbings 12Last1    25:20 | stabbings of swords, and then he set it on fire, leaving 12Last1    25:21 | But he had made this vow to 12Last1    25:21 | vow to himself that should he capture him (Diogenes) he would 12Last1    25:21 | should he capture him (Diogenes) he would free him to return 12Last1    25:21 | kingdom with affection and honor. He had confirmed this with an 12Last1    25:22 | So, when he emerged triumphant from this (last 12Last1    25:22 | battle as well, when what he had wanted to come to 12Last1    25:22 | and when the one whom he had dreaded and quaked at 12Last1    25:22 | Arslan) recall that compact which he had made with God. (Alp 12Last1    25:22 | him on his right. And he exalted him as a faithful 12Last1    25:23 | lords and treacherously blinded, that he had not reigned as monarch 12Last1    25:23 | tortured to death, then did he fill up with wrath and 12Last1    25:23 | up with wrath and rage. He wanted to avenge the one 12Last1    25:23 | death overtook (Alp-Arslan, [d. 1072]) and he quit this world, following all 12Last1    26:15 | with kindness and mercy did He hurl us into the furnace
