Such a man is shaken by every wind, troubled 04Yegh2    1:1 | trembles at every contingency; he is a dreamer in his lifetime 04Yegh2    1:1 | lifetime, and at his death is despatched to irretrievable destruction 04Yegh2    1:2 | of old: “Death not understood is death, death understood is immortality 04Yegh2    1:2 | understood is death, death understood is immortality 04Yegh2    1:5 | A blind man is deprived of the rays of 04Yegh2    1:5 | sun, and an ignorant man is deprived of a perfect life 04Yegh2    1:6 | It is better to be blind in 04Yegh2    1:7 | As the soul is greater than the body, so 04Yegh2    1:7 | greater than the body, so is sight of the mind greater 04Yegh2    1:8 | If someone is very affluent in worldly wealth 04Yegh2    1:8 | affluent in worldly wealth but is very poor in his mind 04Yegh2    1:8 | his mind, such a man is more pitiable than most others 04Yegh2    1:9 | does not have wisdom that is equal to his throne, he 04Yegh2    1:9 | equal to his throne, he is unable to shine in his 04Yegh2    1:10 | And if this is so with bodily matters, how 04Yegh2    1:11 | The soul is the life of the whole 04Yegh2    1:11 | and soul.

For who says this is deaf and blind and deceived 04Yegh2    4:95 | Again, there is another error: ’God who created 04Yegh2    5:101 | eat meat,’ they say, ’is not a sin,’ yet 04Yegh2    5:101 | like to eat meat. ’It is right to marry,’ but 04Yegh2    5:101 | look at a woman. ’It is a great sin,’ they 04Yegh2    5:105 | But what is even worse than what we 04Yegh2    5:107 | Creator of all creatures. This is shameful for you to say 04Yegh2    6:133 | your own country his book is to be found: read and 04Yegh2    6:134 | as for our religion—it is not obscure nor is it 04Yegh2    6:134 | it is not obscure nor is it preached in some corner 04Yegh2    6:134 | of the land, but it is spread throughout the whole world 04Yegh2    6:134 | and in between the world is densely filled with it 04Yegh2    6:136 | through a mediator—for God is one and there is none 04Yegh2    6:136 | God is one and there is none other beside him, neither 04Yegh2    6:137 | existence from anyone, but he is eternal in himself; he is 04Yegh2    6:137 | is eternal in himself; he is not in any place but 04Yegh2    6:137 | not in any place but is his own place; he is 04Yegh2    6:137 | is his own place; he is not in any time but 04Yegh2    6:137 | derives from him; and he is prior not only to heaven 04Yegh2    6:138 | He is not shaped into a material 04Yegh2    6:138 | into a material appearance nor is he subject to the vision 04Yegh2    6:138 | vision of the eye; he is not merely impalpable to the 04Yegh2    6:138 | impalpable to the hand, he is not even graspable by anyone’s 04Yegh2    6:138 | if he himself wishes he is comprehensible to minds worthy of 04Yegh2    6:138 | worthy of him, though he is not visible to the eyes 04Yegh2    6:139 | His name is Creator of heaven and earth 04Yegh2    6:139 | and earth. But as he is self-existent, prior to heaven 04Yegh2    6:139 | to heaven and earth, so is he self-named 04Yegh2    6:140 | He himself is timeless, but when he wished 04Yegh2    6:140 | from nothing. For he alone is “ something” and everything else received 04Yegh2    6:143 | And because he is a creative power, his benevolence 04Yegh2    6:147 | of a single father: there is one who is obedient and 04Yegh2    6:147 | father: there is one who is obedient and submissive to his 04Yegh2    6:147 | to his father, and there is one who is more evil 04Yegh2    6:147 | and there is one who is more evil than Satan 04Yegh2    6:148 | the good, yet his nature is one 04Yegh2    6:149 | death, a piece of parchment is even less significant than a 04Yegh2    6:149 | fig: if the king’s order is marked on it, whoever tears 04Yegh2    6:150 | But is it then right to call 04Yegh2    7:154 | And there is something else still more laughable 04Yegh2    7:154 | than this: the god Mihr is born from a woman, as 04Yegh2    7:157 | great body without pain, thenceforth is compassionate to it like a 04Yegh2    7:158 | He who is himself incorruptible begat creatures without 04Yegh2    7:162 | If this is so, it is not possible 04Yegh2    7:162 | If this is so, it is not possible to call the 04Yegh2    7:167 | This world is material, and the elements are 04Yegh2    7:167 | The Creator of these opposites is one, and he brings them 04Yegh2    7:168 | understand that its leader alone is incorruptible and that he is 04Yegh2    7:168 | is incorruptible and that he is one, not two—the same 04Yegh2    7:170 | Here is a clear explanation, easily comprehensible 04Yegh2    7:171 | That which is fire, in its being and 04Yegh2    7:171 | in its being and essence is mixed with the three other 04Yegh2    7:171 | three other parts. The warmth is found more in stones and 04Yegh2    7:172 | The nature of water is separate, yet it also exists 04Yegh2    8:176 | from a mortal mother and is king as divine offspring and 04Yegh2    8:176 | king as divine offspring and is a partner of the seven 04Yegh2    8:177 | If it is right to believe in that 04Yegh2    8:178 | alone are rational, while God is above heaven and earth 04Yegh2    8:182 | something worthy of the bastinado is beaten, but less”; whereas he 04Yegh2    8:182 | but less”; whereas he who is informed of the king’s will 04Yegh2    8:182 | and transgresses in his presence, is greatly punished without propitiation 04Yegh2    8:188 | The evil counselor is not satisfied but wishes to 04Yegh2    8:190 | evil one malevolent; for it is often the case that evil 04Yegh2    8:191 | good and benevolent. Their nature is one, and not two; but 04Yegh2    8:192 | And if it is the case among men that 04Yegh2    8:194 | He is the true God, Creator of 04Yegh2    9:203 | existed before this world and is the same today 04Yegh2    9:211 | Jesus Christ—than whom there is no other God 04Yegh2    9:213 | submission from us; the sword is yours, the necks are ours 04Yegh2    9:217 | the covenant of our faith is not with a man that 04Yegh2    9:217 | be deceived like children, but is indissolubly with God—from whom 04Yegh2    9:217 | with God—from whom it is impossible to be divided or 04Yegh2    9:224 | erroneous religion. Even if someone is among those very close to 04Yegh2    9:225 | said to the king: “What is the reason for this great 04Yegh2    9:225 | subject to you, what man is there on earth who could 04Yegh2    11:257 | the reasons for the maltreatment. Is our religion the cause of 04Yegh2    11:258 | you strengthen Haraman. And what is worst, you do not regularly 04Yegh2    11:261 | to us. For the church is not the creation of man 04Yegh2    11:261 | of the sun; not only is the latter not god, but 04Yegh2    11:261 | latter not god, but it is not even alive as you 04Yegh2    11:262 | whether grand or ignoble, nowhere is a church created by them 04Yegh2    11:263 | But it is a gift of grace from 04Yegh2    11:263 | rational peoples whose lot it is to dwell under the sun 04Yegh2    11:272 | and obliterate. And if anyone is found to resist, he will 04Yegh2    13:302 | said, “in every place that is under the authority of the 04Yegh3    1:6 | deny before my Father who is in heaven and before the 04Yegh3    1:14 | For them the undying worm is being fattened; but now you 04Yegh3    1:14 | for it. The outer darkness is being kept impenetrable for them 04Yegh3    1:22 | ’I am God and there is no other beside me, nor 04Yegh3    3:52 | reverence for wealth, and—what is the most extreme evil of 04Yegh3    3:52 | prefer death to life. Who is there who can oppose them 04Yegh3    3:70 | of this church. For it is one thing what a man 04Yegh3    3:75 | Now if this is so and you do not 04Yegh3    4:76 | For this land is a frontier. Perhaps when they 04Yegh3    4:77 | But when this country is emptied of its population, then 04Yegh3    4:83 | have them to hand there is no one who can subvert 04Yegh3    4:84 | to the marzpan: “Your counsel is again contrary to my suggestion 04Yegh3    5:122 | be alive in us; it is for him easy to renew 04Yegh3    6:143 | This is a copy of the letter 04Yegh3    6:143 | land and sea; and there is no person on earth who 04Yegh3    7:156 | kill and to die. It is easy for God to work 04Yegh3    7:173 | and Zarevand; the second section is under my control and I 04Yegh3    9:206 | Acknowledge the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is 04Yegh3    9:206 | is good; for his mercy is eternal.

For he is good; for his mercy is 04Yegh3    9:206 | is good; for his mercy is eternal 04Yegh3    9:222 | in nature; but such separation is impossible for those who have 04Yegh3    10:229 | land of the Aryans, and is not the cult of each 04Yegh3    10:239 | follows: “Yes, noble king, it is just as you have said 04Yegh3    10:239 | can successfully arrange everything.

Our commander is no man but the general 04Yegh5    2:43 | Fear is a sign of doubt. Long 04Yegh5    3:66 | And if death is destroyed by death, let us 04Yegh5    3:70 | The main thing is that he was justified by 04Yegh5    3:75 | greater fate, for no longer is a chariot sent from heaven 04Yegh5    4:84 | So, the Lord is the same from the beginning 04Yegh5    4:89 | For he who is truly united to the love 04Yegh5    4:96 | among them? With their wealth is mingled the rapine of the 04Yegh5    4:98 | Is not the whole world the 04Yegh5    4:98 | what they worship and honor is but a part of its 04Yegh5    4:99 | one part of the world is corruptible, then all the other 04Yegh5    4:100 | be discerned. Now the best is clear to all, and he 04Yegh5    4:100 | and he who can understand is the most select of the 04Yegh5    5:101 | So, if this is the case, those worshipers are 04Yegh5    5:101 | creatures—for which sin there is no propitiation at the just 04Yegh5    5:105 | The leader of our salvation is here. Here he bravely fought 04Yegh5    5:109 | It is as if they had gained 04Yegh5    6:136 | For who is able to describe the tremendous 04Yegh6    1:0 | the Virtue of the Armenians Is Again Set Forth and the 04Yegh6    1:0 | and the Impiety of Vasak Is Shown To Be Even More 04Yegh6    1:8 | holy covenant of the church is still unbroken and undefiled, you 04Yegh6    5:111 | out his cruel will—as is clear with this Vasak 04Yegh6    6:142 | the chief of all virtues is patience, and perfect piety is 04Yegh6    6:142 | is patience, and perfect piety is heavenly wisdom. But this no 04Yegh6    6:144 | So, if this is the case, let us beg 04Yegh6    6:147 | Now there is our colleague who separated from 04Yegh6    6:148 | While his soul is still in the body, he 04Yegh6    6:149 | to sing spiritual hymns: “It is better to hope in the 04Yegh6    6:149 | to hope in men.

In this my teacher is Paul who protested: ’When one 05Parp2    13:23 | world?

Unfortunately, it is impossible to kill only the 05Parp4    75:24 | I had known, that God is the real creator and lord 05Parp4    75:24 | the entire world that (Zoroastrianism) is a false and filthy deception 05Parp4    76:6 | me, and healthy. For everything is possible for God, and He 05Parp4    76:10 | lord of the Aryans, who is god-like and has the 05Parp4    76:11 | great and mighty prince, he is hardly able to hide himself 05Parp4    76:16 | Especially since the merchant’s appearance is not known. For no one 05Parp4    76:16 | close or far his life is from the gate. What if 05Parp4    76:16 | if he purchases (life) and is saved, but dies the next 05Parp4    76:16 | dies the next day and is transported to the outer darkness 05Parp4    77:10 | As is the custom of the adversary 05Parp4    77:16 | if the brigade from Iran is very small, nonetheless they will 05Parp4    77:18 | was fated to die. (This is) because long before we had 05Parp4    80:9 | will bestow upon you what is fitting. The Christianity which you 05Parp4    80:11 | reply: “Our labor and work is not for any mundane pleasures 05Parp4    81:3 | informed that lo, Vahan Mamikonean is encamped in a village and 05Parp4    82:2 | Now tell me, what is the man doing with so 05Parp4    83:4 | the mark both times, it is laudable and honorable. However, one 05Parp4    83:4 | laudable and honorable. However, one is greater and more desirable than 05Parp4    83:4 | unthoughtfully met. Living and dying is part of that exaltation for 05Parp4    83:4 | die for a blessed vow is the lot of martyrdom 05Parp4    83:5 | crown us with that which is above all else. Let no 05Parp4    83:7 | the multitude of the enemy is lacking to become [300,000] (as against 05Parp4    83:15 | on this side, because (Vahan) is doing something peculiar and new 05Parp4    83:15 | do not know if there is indeed some invisible force aiding 05Parp4    84:6 | assistance settled his affairs, it is time to return to the 05Parp4    85:5 | information from emissaries. However, it is very difficult for me to 05Parp4    85:5 | escape of the fugitives. This is especially so when the cause 05Parp4    85:6 | death and destruction, nonetheless, it is necessary to say what was 05Parp4    85:6 | be ended without this. This is because presently the bad experience 05Parp4    85:14 | they said to Peroz: ’He is right; we are fighting falsely 05Parp4    86:2 | not only this multitude which is presently here and which you 05Parp4    88:2 | A primary example is the great land of the 05Parp4    88:2 | a land aloof from you is a good man whose worth 05Parp4    88:9 | now are here testify) it is very difficult to say, and 05Parp4    88:19 | to Armenia and do whatever is necessary with all mildness and 05Parp4    88:21 | The man is brave and shrewd. For to 05Parp4    89:1 | and listen, and choose what is good, what you find agreeable 05Parp4    89:4 | dedicated our lives—that it is impossible to deal with them 05Parp4    89:4 | face with the one who is lord of the Aryans, and 05Parp4    89:5 | we will do all that is fitting and appropriate, and will 05Parp4    89:8 | foremost among the three demands is this important and useful point 05Parp4    89:8 | Christianity boldly and fearlessly. This is good, and it is our 05Parp4    89:8 | This is good, and it is our first demand 05Parp4    89:9 | The second demand is that you do not recognize 05Parp4    89:10 | you like it otherwise, as is the case now, then events 05Parp4    89:11 | Our third demand is that we want the one 05Parp4    89:11 | we want the one who is the lord of the Aryans 05Parp4    89:11 | so, or talk about what is necessary with another’s mouth 05Parp4    89:12 | orders futile, and all wisdom is different 05Parp4    89:15 | In this way the land is cultivated and the lord is 05Parp4    89:15 | is cultivated and the lord is always resplendent in luxury 05Parp4    89:17 | demands, and know that it is impossible, then just as we 05Parp4    90:7 | from Peroz) so too Vahan is guiltless in all the things 05Parp4    90:17 | said to them: “If it is only the fact that Nixor 05Parp4    91:2 | each other what we think is appropriate to do 05Parp4    91:7 | Mamikonean: “What you are doing is not in accord with Aryan 05Parp4    91:7 | accord with Aryan custom and is a new thing you have 05Parp4    91:7 | fashioned. From now on it is very necessary for you to 05Parp4    91:15 | Warfare is waged as much by bravery 05Parp4    91:21 | For a brave man it is better that he live but 05Parp4    91:22 | not the one who presently is lord of the Aryans, nor 05Parp4    91:26 | For the one who is now lord of the Aryans 05Parp4    91:28 | everything that you wish which is good and worthy for yourself 05Parp4    92:0 | with him, and replied: “It is easy for forward-looking and 05Parp4    92:0 | when the peace of God is upon the land 05Parp4    92:1 | land and renew it as is happening now, it seems to 05Parp4    92:3 | as wanting and loving what is good, and regard you as 05Parp4    92:8 | It is known by everyone and apparent 05Parp4    92:17 | mind with verbosity, nonetheless it is impossible not to mention or 05Parp4    93:9 | Scripture was revealed, that “God is light 05Parp4    93:17 | the Gospel were realized: “It is not you speaking, but the 05Parp4    93:20 | Without this it is impossible for us to live 05Parp4    93:20 | or serve you—unless there is confirmation of the Christian faith 05Parp4    93:20 | Church, as we wish. This is important and essential to us 05Parp4    93:20 | with the king’s seal. It is unnecessary to elaborate on whatever 05Parp4    94:2 | matter successfully and benevolently. It is appropriate and fitting that I 05Parp4    95:5 | been light. When one servant is lost, it is usually possible 05Parp4    95:5 | one servant is lost, it is usually possible to replace him 05Parp4    95:5 | folk were lost, that there is no way of replacing them 05Parp4    95:6 | tormented death. However, since there is another cause for all that 05Parp4    95:9 | the entire multitude, saying: “It is improper to speak at length 05Parp4    95:10 | many times, prolongs matters and is tedious 05Parp4    95:19 | the land of Armenia. (It is something) which we do not 05Parp4    95:27 | discharge the submission which it is fitting for a servant to 05Parp4    96:2 | you have done for me is very great and (even) excessive 05Parp4    96:3 | upon and then do as is proper and what pleases you 05Parp4    96:7 | receive you well? If there is anything else you need, say 05Parp4    96:8 | been done by God Who is the creator of all and 05Parp4    96:10 | see that half (of me) is still dead 05Parp4    96:14 | we will look to what is fitting 05Parp4    97:4 | The brilliance of that ornament is such that no eye has 05Parp4    97:4 | no heart has experienced. Such is the ornament which God has 05Parp4    97:5 | the city of Vagharshapat which is now called [Nor Kaghak’] (New City 05Parp4    98:5 | and now describe in person, is growing greater by the day 05Parp4    98:5 | day and in no way is his advance ever lessened 05Parp4    98:8 | he would find that) it is a large land; in two 05Parp4    98:9 | But (Vahan), since he is a native of the land 05Parp4    98:10 | There is yet more to the matter 05Parp4    98:13 | To decide what is proper and to do it 05Parp4    100:3 | of Eden, of which it is note: “it came up from 05Parp4    100:4 | drowns and Israel survives; subjection is exhausted and liberation is established 05Parp4    100:4 | subjection is exhausted and liberation is established; the lamb is distributed 05Parp4    100:4 | liberation is established; the lamb is distributed and nations are unbounded 05Parp4    100:4 | Israelites and Satan, like Pharaoh, is consumed by the tides of 05Parp4    100:16 | Behold, the chivalrous one is dying—do not allow him 05Parp4    100:17 | The bloodshedder is being exterminated in front of 05Parp4    100:18 | Shimei is being beheaded—lend him a 05Parp4    100:18 | with pity: Tell Solomon “he is not here”! The irremissibility of 05Parp4    100:18 | The irremissibility of the laws is not etched in stone 05Parp4    100:19 | Christ is here, “Clap your hands, all 05Parp4    100:20 | Adonijah and Joab, for it is a member of the body 05Parp4    100:26 | of the concubine (whose name is) inscribed on stone preaches to 05Parp4    100:26 | in proverbial fashion: “For Hagar is this Mount Sinai in Arabia 05Parp4    100:26 | and corresponds to Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children 05Parp4    100:26 | children—but the Jerusalem above is free” [Galatians 4:25-26] and the teaching of 05Parp4    100:26 | the teaching of Christ’s forgiveness is written by those who accept 05Parp4    100:26 | those who accept it and is met “not in inscribed stone 05Parp4    100:28 | their confessions and tears as is demanded of them 05Parp4    100:30 | to the prostitute who today is a daughter of Christ; the 05Parp4    100:31 | from the well-to-do is mercy demanded at judgment 06Khor1    1:3 | before your person. Your request is dear to my interests and 06Khor1    1:4 | Therefore it is not only right to praise 06Khor1    1:5 | of our reason, as it is said, we are the image 06Khor1    1:6 | you are so disposed it is clear that you must be 06Khor1    1:7 | to come. For your family is an ancient one, valiant and 06Khor1    2:2 | at this, that although, as is clear to all, many nations 06Khor1    2:3 | The reason is that not only were the 06Khor1    2:3 | just as that Ptolemy who is also called Philadelphus took care 06Khor1    2:11 | This is sufficient to indicate the usefulness 06Khor1    3:3 | Assyrians, Egyptians, and Hellenes. It is indeed to the wisdom of 06Khor1    3:3 | we aspire. So, then it is clear to us all that 06Khor1    3:5 | in the world, how appropriate is our reproach of such men 06Khor1    3:9 | Therefore it is superfluous for us to say 06Khor1    3:11 | I shall say only this. “ Is there not a book near 06Khor1    3:11 | book near to me,” as is said in Job [Job 37:20], or the 06Khor1    4:2 | to the human race that is credible to us 06Khor1    4:4 | reigned for ten shars”- that is for thirty-six thousand years 06Khor1    4:9 | Josephus says, although their location is unclear 06Khor1    4:11 | call upon God? And how is “ calling” to be understood 06Khor1    4:12 | creature of God, and he is said to have received a 06Khor1    4:14 | by God, for what reason is the other called the first 06Khor1    4:15 | let us speak of what is ready to hand 06Khor1    4:20 | naming as of something forgotten is inappropriate here, for there had 06Khor1    4:20 | or Him whose name it is, nor had the one created 06Khor1    4:23 | who was pleased knows, and is said to have been removed 06Khor1    4:28 | said “from our deeds,” which is from lawlessness, and “from the 06Khor1    5:1 | and Aram; and that Ninos is neither Bēl nor Bēl’s son 06Khor1    5:2 | It is clear to all that nothing 06Khor1    5:2 | clear to all that nothing is so difficult to compile and 06Khor1    5:2 | Noah, so long as it is desired to examine any given 06Khor1    5:39 | translation of the Bible he is not found anywhere in the 06Khor1    5:42 | For Mestrayim is Metsrayim, which means Egypt. And 06Khor1    5:42 | choronographers say that Nimrod, who is Bēl, was an Ethiopian, and 06Khor1    5:43 | down to us, and there is nothing certain known about Ninos 06Khor1    5:43 | Yapheth, yet the genealogy above is reliable since the three races 06Khor1    5:43 | and our Aram. For Ara is the twelfth after Ninos, and 06Khor1    5:44 | This is true and let no one 06Khor1    5:47 | Cephalion is also a witness to these 06Khor1    5:49 | thus to bring closer what is farther away 06Khor1    6:2 | best of our ability what is reliable from many sources, we 06Khor1    6:2 | to this; but if anyone is planning to upset the whole 06Khor1    6:6 | my beloved Sibyl, Berossus, who is more truthful than most other 06Khor1    6:15 | be called Diwts’ěnkēts’ but that is now called Olympus 06Khor1    6:16 | as I am persuaded, there is much truth to them 06Khor1    6:17 | undertakes to show that God is true and righteous even when 06Khor1    6:22 | There is a book about Xisut’ra and 06Khor1    6:22 | found, in which, they say, is the following account 06Khor1    6:26 | Sem Zrvan, and the district is called Zaruand up to now 06Khor1    6:28 | tales are false or true is of no concern to us 06Khor1    7:1 | called Bēl by profane authors is in truth Nimrod (Nebrot’) of 06Khor1    7:2 | one called Kronos and Bēl is Nimrod, just as the Egyptians 06Khor1    7:2 | Hephaistos, the sun, Kronos - that is Ham, Kush, and Nimrod, leaving 06Khor1    7:4 | Why is he called the inventor of 06Khor1    7:4 | the inventor of fire, or is Prometheus said to have stolen 06Khor1    7:4 | given it to mankind? It is an allegory, which the course 06Khor1    7:5 | agreement with the Hebrews - that is, from the times of Joseph 06Khor1    7:7 | task that lies before us is long, and time for mortals 06Khor1    7:7 | long, and time for mortals is short and uncertain 06Khor1    9:2 | and whose amplitude of mind is as that of the sky 06Khor1    9:5 | cults for the temples. It is not clear which is the 06Khor1    9:5 | It is not clear which is the first of the lords 06Khor1    9:5 | and which the last, nor is anything else regulated, but all 06Khor1    9:5 | anything else regulated, but all is confused and uncivilized 06Khor1    9:19 | should stop here, for it is our proposal not to write 06Khor1    10:6 | the land of Ararad, which is in the northern regions, with 06Khor1    10:9 | of the plateau Hark’-that is, here dwelt the fathers of 06Khor1    10:11 | It is also recorded in this history 06Khor1    11:7 | of the heroes, that Bēl is advancing against you with valiant 06Khor1    11:25 | for that reason, the district is now called Hayots’ dzor 06Khor1    11:26 | Hayk called Gerezmans; today it is called Gerezmank’ 06Khor1    11:28 | Now our country is called Hayk’ after the name 06Khor1    12:2 | shall set out only what is necessary to our collection 06Khor1    12:9 | his estates. And from him is said to derive the great 06Khor1    12:17 | name, they say, the district is called Shirak 06Khor1    12:25 | by which name the lake is also called 06Khor1    12:29 | lords of the land, that is, the Sisakan family. That Vaḷarshak 06Khor1    12:29 | family. That Vaḷarshak did this is verified by the history 06Khor1    12:32 | bank of the river, which is called Hrazdan 06Khor1    12:33 | From him, they say, is descended the Varazhuni house 06Khor1    12:38 | It is told of Aram that he 06Khor1    14:16 | This is the prime and true reason 06Khor1    14:17 | But whatever else is said by some on the 06Khor1    14:18 | name up to today, as is clear to all, the nations 06Khor1    14:24 | But it is superfluous to repeat this here 06Khor1    15:7 | the plain of Ara, which is called Ayrarat after his name 06Khor1    16:2 | days in the plain that is called Ayrarat after Ara. She 06Khor1    16:18 | many men cannot comprehend nor is it possible to describe them 06Khor1    16:20 | as we have heard, this is considered the foremost and most 06Khor1    16:21 | with an iron point - such is the hardness of the surface 06Khor1    17:6 | husband Ninos had not, as is said, died and been buried 06Khor1    18:6 | But this is enough; we must now tell 06Khor1    19:2 | unsuitable but repeating only what is taken from books and similarly 06Khor1    19:3 | collection has been made, as is clear to God; but whether 06Khor1    19:3 | will praise or criticize it is of no import to us 06Khor1    19:5 | are so arranged and exactitude is assured, or almost so, I 06Khor1    19:6 | her own son Zamesea, that is, Ninuas, we can know for 06Khor1    20:9 | From him on, it is not according to tribe but 06Khor1    20:10 | Agras, sailing for T’arsis. This is clear from the inscription that 06Khor1    20:10 | clear from the inscription that is found on the stelae in 06Khor1    20:30 | Aṙalios, who is Amiwṙos 06Khor1    20:31 | Xerxes, who is Baḷēos 06Khor1    20:63 | He is the son of our Ara 06Khor1    22:2 | Omitting what is least important from our account 06Khor1    22:2 | we shall speak of what is significant 06Khor1    22:5 | Therefore it is right for us now to 06Khor1    22:10 | If this is narrated by others in a 06Khor1    22:11 | our first ancestors, the same is the case here 06Khor1    23:7 | truly existed at that time is attested by the prophet Jeremiah 06Khor1    23:22 | Bagratuni family descends, and that is certain 06Khor1    23:25 | such foolish words, as there is no vestige or sign of 06Khor1    23:26 | often give to their children, is in truth Shambat’ in their 06Khor1    23:26 | in their original speech, that is, Hebrew 06Khor1    24:2 | rulers, let us recount what is most important for the coherence 06Khor1    24:5 | One of these, that is, Sanasar, our valiant ancestor Skayordi 06Khor1    24:8 | This is the reason for our remembering 06Khor1    27:15 | But what advantage is there for me to prolong 06Khor1    27:16 | save that Tigran the Armenian is about to come upon us 06Khor1    28:3 | brings greater advantage, when one is taking precautions against the enemy 06Khor1    28:5 | the bait for the trap is the most beautiful and intelligent 06Khor1    29:2 | finds an entry within but is expelled 06Khor1    30:3 | incited by his wife Zaruhi, is envious of your authority over 06Khor1    31:2 | This too is told, that after these successful 06Khor1    31:3 | of those regions called Ostan is descended from her as a 06Khor1    31:4 | the borders of Goḷt’n, that is Tambat, Oskioḷay, Dazhgoynk’, and the 06Khor1    31:4 | the entire plain, whose capital is Azhdanakan, as far as the 06Khor1    31:8 | This is confirmed by the rhythmic songs 06Khor1    31:8 | because Azhdahak in our tongue is dragon 06Khor1    31:10 | built Marakert in Media, which is in the plain called Sharur’s 06Khor1    32:2 | Tigran and his various deeds is a task dear to me 06Khor1    32:4 | nature, what we are saying is true 06Khor1    32:5 | There is no Aramazd save among those 06Khor1    32:5 | four or more called Aramazd is a certain bald Aramazd 06Khor1    33:3 | To bring all these together is impossible 06Khor1    33:10 | by Homer: the one that is told about the Ilian war 06Khor1    34:2 | But what then is your delight in the obscene 06Khor1    34:7 | irrationality and to embellish what is unadorned 06Khor1    34:8 | This is my reply to you: “What 06Khor1    34:8 | have you of these? What is your delight in desiring such 06Khor1    34:9 | But as it is the desire of your youthful 06Khor1    34:11 | Statement of what is reliable concerning Biurasp 06Khor1    34:12 | self to a friend? There is no such 06Khor1    34:14 | know that such an undertaking is hateful to us, for we 06Khor1    34:18 | this definite name of Biurasp is found in a Chaldaean book 06Khor1    34:22 | And this is his so-called first maleficent 06Khor1    34:26 | Biurasp’s becoming a dragon, this is what is note 06Khor1    34:26 | a dragon, this is what is note 06Khor2    1:4 | other nations by many writers is enough 06Khor2    2:2 | Parthians in the city that is called Bahḷ Aṙavawtin in the 06Khor2    3:1 | Vaḷarshak is made king of Armenia 06Khor2    3:4 | Bagratuni after his name - which is now a great principality in 06Khor2    3:6 | of the regions where Armenian is spoken and prince of eleven 06Khor2    4:7 | with a rocky summit, which is today called Coloneia. Approaching to 06Khor2    7:2 | This is an important chapter, full of 06Khor2    7:3 | Here there is much to say about the 06Khor2    7:3 | of the kingdom and whatever is of relevance to the kingdom 06Khor2    8:5 | of the regions where Armenian is spoken, he established as military 06Khor2    8:6 | wisdom and sagacity; this region is by the great river called 06Khor2    8:10 | inherited the mountain Mt’in, that is, Kangark’, and half of Chavakh 06Khor2    8:13 | And Iberia is on the edge of the 06Khor2    8:20 | O, this tale is too much - it is the 06Khor2    8:20 | tale is too much - it is the tale of all tales 06Khor2    8:21 | But what is this to you? For truly 06Khor2    8:22 | principality of Tsop’k’ in what is called Fourth Armenia 06Khor2    8:29 | and the Taurus Mountain, that is, Sim, and all the Kleisurae 06Khor2    8:42 | in its frontier valley, which is outside Tarawn. He left them 06Khor2    10:3 | the archive of Edessa, that is, Urha, which concerned the history 06Khor2    10:5 | History of Eusebius of Caesarea is a guarantee, which our blessed 06Khor2    11:5 | his name the Varazhnuni family is so called 06Khor2    13:4 | proposition of Chroesus to Nectanebo is reported. And this Nectanebo is 06Khor2    13:4 | is reported. And this Nectanebo is said by Manetho to have 06Khor2    13:5 | of Nectanebo, while Nectanebo’s period is more than another two hundred 06Khor2    13:7 | as follows: “Artashēs the Parthian is for me superior to Alexander 06Khor2    13:9 | war of Alexander and Darius is minor compared to that of 06Khor2    13:22 | of Cyrus or Nectanebo either is fictitious, or else there lived 06Khor2    13:22 | with the one name - as is the custom of many 06Khor2    14:17 | mountain that up to now is called Vaykunik’ after the name 06Khor2    16:2 | the city of Vardges, which is on the river K’asaḷ, and 06Khor2    24:2 | king over themselves Arjam, that is, Arsham, son of Artashēs, Tigran’s 06Khor2    26:5 | out from Augustus Caesar, as is said in Luke’s gospel [Luke 2:1], that 06Khor2    27:6 | Now although it is not in the chronological order 06Khor2    27:7 | their fathers in Armenia, that is, the Kareneank’ and Sureneank’ from 06Khor2    28:9 | know that this great family is indeed the blood of Vaḷarshak 06Khor2    28:9 | the blood of Vaḷarshak, that is, the line of Arshak the 06Khor2    30:6 | man’s but God’s. For there is no man who can raise 06Khor2    31:3 | medicines or drugs. For, as is said, you cause the blind 06Khor2    31:6 | and pleasant city, and it is sufficient for us both 06Khor2    32:2 | Blessed is he who believes in me 06Khor2    32:2 | seen me. For thus it is written concerning me: ’Those who 06Khor2    33:5 | heard it, he note: “This is he concerning whom Jesus wrote 06Khor2    33:17 | Although I know that nothing is hidden from your majesty, yet 06Khor2    33:22 | consequently your majesty knows whatever is right to command concerning the 06Khor2    33:34 | the action of your senate is most ridiculous. For according to 06Khor2    33:34 | For according to them it is by the scrutiny of men 06Khor2    33:34 | scrutiny of men that divinity is conferred 06Khor2    33:35 | and on this reasoning it is right for men to pardon 06Khor2    33:42 | his fault. And if it is your wish you may appoint 06Khor2    33:50 | principal disciples, Simon by name, is in the confines of your 06Khor2    33:52 | For it is pleasing to me that you 06Khor2    34:3 | the province of Shavarshan, which is now called Artaz, the opening 06Khor2    34:14 | It is narrated by some that a 06Khor2    34:14 | in Veriosp’or; but whether this is true, and what was the 06Khor2    34:14 | in telling you everything that is appropriate 06Khor2    36:9 | he was called Sanatruk, which is derived from the nurse’s name 06Khor2    38:4 | Smbat who claims that Artashēs is the son of Sanatruk, and 06Khor2    38:5 | He is not the son of Sanatruk 06Khor2    38:5 | found some Median child and is making a mockery 06Khor2    40:2 | and called it Bagaran, that is, in it he had set 06Khor2    42:2 | It is pleasant for me to speak 06Khor2    42:11 | But this is either false and a fable 06Khor2    46:19 | and the battlefield Eruandavan, which is so called up to this 06Khor2    46:19 | up to this day, that is, “ in this place he defeated 06Khor2    46:21 | Eruand from the place. That is the reason for the naming 06Khor2    47:7 | It is said that in those same 06Khor2    48:10 | This is accurately told us by Olympius 06Khor2    49:2 | according to the fable - that is, for the descendants of Azhdahak 06Khor2    49:3 | all this, as we said, is revealed to you in the 06Khor2    50:6 | up the youth. For it is not right for heroes to 06Khor2    50:12 | The truth of this is as follows 06Khor2    50:13 | Because red leather is greatly prized among the Alans 06Khor2    50:14 | this is the strap of red leather 06Khor2    50:17 | This is the truth of the story 06Khor2    51:10 | It is this Argam who is called 06Khor2    51:10 | It is this Argam who is called Argavan in the fable 06Khor2    51:10 | in the fable, and this is the cause of his war 06Khor2    52:2 | It is pleasant for me to tell 06Khor2    52:2 | indeed, what the fable says is not very far from the 06Khor2    52:5 | eastern side of Masis, which is called the province of Shavarshan 06Khor2    52:5 | they were brought as captives is called Artaz to this very 06Khor2    53:3 | inhabitants of the mountain, which is called in their own tongue 06Khor2    53:3 | the province of Patizhahar, that is, the mountain of Geḷmants’, did 06Khor2    53:9 | he dwelt in Tmorik’, which is now called Kordrik’, and he 06Khor2    54:6 | a certain Domet came - that is the Emperor Domitian himself. However 06Khor2    56:5 | But it is said that in the time 06Khor2    57:3 | and strength called Samson, as is the Jewish custom to call 06Khor2    57:4 | But it is true, as one can indeed 06Khor2    60:3 | brigand called Bar K’oba, that is “ son of a star,” who 06Khor2    61:6 | tell of him that he is imprisoned in a cave, bound 06Khor2    61:8 | the truth of the matter is as we said above 06Khor2    62:5 | us our inheritance, for it is cramped, since we have multiplied 06Khor2    62:7 | more to the king: “This is even more cramping for us 06Khor2    62:12 | and the great vineyard which is irrigated by the canal that 06Khor2    63:6 | He replied: “No, for she is my concubine 06Khor2    63:12 | It is superfluous for us to say 06Khor2    63:14 | the Bagratunik’ are now called is Bagadia, and Asud is Ashot 06Khor2    63:14 | called is Bagadia, and Asud is Ashot, and similarly Vazaria is 06Khor2    63:14 | is Ashot, and similarly Vazaria is Varaz, just as Shambat is 06Khor2    63:14 | is Varaz, just as Shambat is Smbat 06Khor2    64:7 | by name, partly because all is not clear to us, partly 06Khor2    64:10 | my story free from what is unsuitable and what would encourage 06Khor2    65:6 | and called it Vaḷarshapat; it is also called Nor K’aḷak’ 06Khor2    65:8 | account of his repute, which is greater than that of lazier 06Khor2    66:1 | Whence this account is taken 06Khor2    66:6 | the town of Altars, which is in the province of Bagrevand 06Khor2    66:8 | It is from this history that we 06Khor2    68:4 | Parthians, and descended from these is Arshak the Brave, who rebelled 06Khor2    70:4 | This is not the place for us 06Khor2    70:4 | prophecy of the astrologers, that is, the Chaldaeans, and so on 06Khor2    70:6 | We shall recount only what is certain and what pertains to 06Khor2    71:2 | of their own kin, that is, of Artashēs, and willingly accepted 06Khor2    72:8 | given obeisance to Artashir, but is coming to you in answer 06Khor2    76:8 | in Chaniuk’ in Pontus, that is, Khaḷtik’; likewise, his brother Florian 06Khor2    81:3 | of whom the following tale is told 06Khor2    81:10 | earth in the west, which is equivalent to death for him 06Khor2    81:11 | to make peace. So, it is clear that the Chinese nation 06Khor2    81:11 | clear that the Chinese nation is truly devoted to peace and 06Khor2    81:12 | Their land is wonderful in its abundance of 06Khor2    81:12 | all varieties of fruits; it is adorned with beautiful plants, rich 06Khor2    81:12 | of common people, they say, is what among us is aristocratic 06Khor2    81:12 | say, is what among us is aristocratic and food for the 06Khor2    82:2 | Because there is no true history without chronology 06Khor2    84:9 | departure for Albania. “The danger is great,” he said, “for King 06Khor2    84:9 | northern peoples.

It is impossible for the leopard to 06Khor2    88:7 | knew that every impious one is hateful to the just 06Khor2    88:17 | But this is unbelievable to us, though others 06Khor2    89:2 | wicked heresy: that the Son is not equal to the Father 06Khor2    90:5 | great property of Artashēs, which is now called Draskhanakert, and the 06Khor2    91:1 | Aristakēs, and why the mountain is called “Caves of Manē 06Khor2    91:4 | let us explain why it is called “Caves of Manē 06Khor2    91:11 | to the governorship of what is called Fourth Armenia, on being 06Khor2    91:19 | He, Gregory, as is clear to all, was a 06Khor2    92:5 | But because this is the time for history and 06Khor2    92:19 | he will say: “Lord, who is like you 06Khor2    92:21 | Now if this is the case with the saints 06Khor2    92:21 | from you, we whose portion is danger and poverty 06Khor2    92:25 | Therefore each one himself is priest and minister for himself 06Khor2    92:26 | Wherefore their speech is a source of amazement and 06Khor2    92:29 | them? And, if no one is offended, then I say that 06Khor2    92:32 | this story concerning Saint Trdat is true. For having made him 06Khor3    1:1 | History of Our Fatherland: THERE is no study of the antiquity’ 06Khor3    1:1 | everything without forgetting anything that is important or significant and worthy 06Khor3    8:4 | beside the Azat River, which is called by his name to 06Khor3    8:5 | a shady palace. The place is called Duin in Persian; in 06Khor3    15:9 | family so that no successor is left for him.

But if this is not pleasing to you and 06Khor3    51:9 | the family of Hamazasp, that is, the Mamikonean clan, he promoted 06Khor3    55:11 | replied: “You proceed, for it is the mark of demons to 06Khor3    55:13 | Persian hero, behold your father is a god, why do you 06Khor3    59:1 | the city of Karin, which is called Theodosiopolis 06Khor3    62:4 | cultivation of the land.

But if it is because of his immoral life 06Khor3    64:5 | they accuse him, rather he is worthy of honor from you 06Khor3    64:5 | your impure laws, although he is guilty according to ours. But 06Khor3    65:10 | with equal confidence, until God is kind enough to restore him 06Khor3    66:9 | saying in the gospel: “It is necessary that offense should come 06Khor3    67:8 | own village of Ashtishat, which is in the province of Tarawn 06Khor3    68:7 | in this third departure there is no expectation of a return 06Khor3    68:8 | It is better for them to dwell 06Khor3    68:10 | olden times, but our misery is greater 06Khor3    68:14 | to captivity [cf. 4 Kings 25:7], and no Zerubabel is anywhere to be found to 06Khor3    68:16 | from the schismatics; and there is no counselor among us to 06Khor3    68:21 | Where is the sweet gentleness of his 06Khor3    68:21 | awesomeness to the perverse?

This 07Seb1    44:8 | that of the Greeks. This is clear from his saying: ’The 07Seb1    44:10 | This is clear from what they were 07Seb1    44:11 | fourth, arising from the south, is the kingdom of Ismael, just 07Seb1    44:11 | will rise up another who is greater in evil than all 07Seb1    44:13 | he said to Valentinus: ’What is this union and plot of 07Seb1    44:14 | stood up and note: ’It is inappropriate and wrong to do 07Seb1    44:31 | side of the summit which is called Kakhanaktuts’ 07Seb1    46:4 | For behold, that kingdom is greater and more powerful than 07Seb1    46:4 | powerful than all kingdoms which is not under the control of 07Seb1    46:4 | of God, which no one is able to supplant save the 07Seb1    46:8 | that they may confirm what is orthodox and reject what is 07Seb1    46:8 | is orthodox and reject what is erroneous.’ All the bishops 07Seb1    46:17 | distinction like the latter? It is clear that we must divide 07Seb1    46:18 | But the Godhead, if it is not in every place and 07Seb1    46:18 | wishes, what sort of divinity is it?’ 07Seb1    46:20 | The true faith is that which they declared in 07Seb1    46:20 | Ephesus. In conformity with these is the true faith of the 07Seb1    46:20 | what was declared at Chalcedon is not in agreement with them 07Seb1    46:23 | city, how much the more is it right for us to 07Seb1    46:27 | of mankind has seen, nor is able to see.’ Why 07Seb1    46:27 | and appeared to us’? This is very awesome, as indeed it 07Seb1    46:27 | to the divinity; yet this is very humble and benevolent with 07Seb1    46:28 | Now it is clear that he is describing 07Seb1    46:28 | it is clear that he is describing the incarnation of God 07Seb1    46:29 | Paul) of Tarsus declares: ’There is one God, and one mediator 07Seb1    46:29 | and mankind.’ ’Now there is no mediator of a single 07Seb1    46:29 | single person’, because the unity is from the two - as by 07Seb1    46:30 | So the Lord Jesus Christ is one, God and man. The 07Seb1    46:30 | his catholic (epistle), saying: ’It is he who came with fire 07Seb1    46:30 | blood and water. And it is the Spirit which bears witness 07Seb1    46:30 | bears witness, because the Spirit is truth 07Seb1    46:31 | surely the witness of God is greater which he testified concerning 07Seb1    46:31 | concerning his Son.’ ’He is my beloved Son in whom 07Seb1    46:32 | sin.’ Behold, Jesus Christ is Son of God and of 07Seb1    46:33 | Now, that the Godhead is incorporeal and immortal is clear 07Seb1    46:33 | Godhead is incorporeal and immortal is clear to all. But this 07Seb1    46:33 | clear to all. But this is more filled with wonder and 07Seb1    46:35 | What is this ’he condemned’? It means 07Seb1    46:35 | the power of death, that is, Satan’. What then would the 07Seb1    46:36 | saw the son, note: “This is the heir; come, let us 07Seb1    46:36 | killed him.’ Not only is the Son of God the 07Seb1    46:36 | of God the word, (he is) both the word and the 07Seb1    46:36 | together. For although the flesh is man, yet it is also 07Seb1    46:36 | flesh is man, yet it is also God. So those who 07Seb1    46:37 | of Asia; and Euodia, that is Peter, in Antioch; and Irenaeus 07Seb1    46:39 | It is clear from the Nicaean council 07Seb1    46:46 | from the holy apostles, (that is) from you, have spread the 07Seb1    46:50 | of God the Father, that is from the being of the 07Seb1    46:52 | He was tormented, that is, crucified, was buried and rose 07Seb1    46:52 | dead, of whose kingdom there is no end. We believe also 07Seb1    46:55 | us glorify (the one) who is before eternity, worshipping the holy 07Seb1    46:62 | among them’, because myriad-fold is the power and glory of 07Seb1    46:63 | holy Sinai’. Amongst whom then is ’among them’? Clearly, in the 07Seb1    46:64 | distribute with great discretion, it is as follows. We do not 07Seb1    46:64 | have authority to serve what is pure to the impure. For 07Seb1    46:64 | according to the saying: ’Marriage is altogether honourable, and beds are 07Seb1    46:65 | second time, even if one is a virgin and the other 07Seb1    46:69 | way, how much the more is it right for us to 07Seb1    46:69 | ’ For although ’no one is just, not even one’ - yet 07Seb1    46:77 | They said it is unworthy and impossible to consider 07Seb1    46:79 | will not confess that God is truly Emmanuel, and for that 07Seb1    46:81 | so shine before men’, that is, the truth of the faith 07Seb1    46:81 | and glorify your Father who is in heaven.’ 07Seb1    47:2 | the whole earth; because Babylon is the mother of all nations 07Seb1    47:2 | all nations, and its kingdom is the kingdom of the regions 07Seb1    47:3 | the sons of Esau, that is Edom; and still more who 07Seb1    47:4 | an awesome place.’ That is the great and fearsome desert 07Seb1    47:8 | king: ’He said that it is necessary to avenge the blood 07Seb1    48:1 | the land called Pahlaw, which is the land of the Parthians 07Seb1    48:8 | we shall decide together what is best to do.’ Yet 07Seb1    48:10 | in the following terms: ’Armenia is mine; do not go there 07Seb1    48:11 | King Constans responded: ’That land is mine, and I am going 07Seb1    48:11 | If you attack me, God is a righteous judge.’ He 07Seb1    49:0 | fear. One of the bishops is forced by the emperor to 07Seb1    49:10 | am your king, and he is your Catholicos and our father 07Seb1    49:11 | of that. Tell me this.

Hamazasp Mamikonean is appointed prince of Armenia. The 07Seb1    52:1 | submission to the Ismaelites and is summoned to the palace. Disturbance 07Seb1    52:24 | That he speaks about them is clear, because he says: ’They 07Seb1    52:24 | burst into flames,’ that is, the tyrannies of their great 07Seb1    52:26 | ’The day of their destruction is close; the Lord has arrived 08Ghev1    3:3 | Tell me, who is capable of lamenting in a 08Ghev1    3:7 | very appropriate to this situation is the prophet’s lament: “O God 08Ghev1    10:1 | Here is a description of his deeds 08Ghev1    10:11 | the place where Your name is glorified has become a cemetary 08Ghev1    11:5 | of time until now? How is it that the king of 08Ghev1    13:6 | and returned the same? Why is it that you have not 08Ghev1    13:7 | whereas in truth, Jesus Himself is the more worthy of credence 08Ghev1    13:9 | Why is it, that in the Mosaic 08Ghev1    13:9 | the resurrection or judgment? It is the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke 08Ghev1    13:10 | Is it not true that Jesus 08Ghev1    13:12 | Is it possible that God could 08Ghev1    14:1 | you advance against us? It is God Himself who commands us 08Ghev1    14:2 | least appearance of truthfulness, it is incumbent (on us) to call 08Ghev1    14:2 | call not just that which is not 08Ghev1    14:4 | Neither of these in fact is accurate because nothing would induce 08Ghev1    14:4 | Apostles are something strange. This is the rule we observe towards 08Ghev1    14:5 | It is true that we have written 08Ghev1    14:6 | hold fast to that which is good [cf. I Thess. 5:21]. We possess historical documents 08Ghev1    14:8 | It is truly difficult, let me tell 08Ghev1    14:8 | recognizes that this element really is fire, but the other, driven 08Ghev1    14:8 | of contradiction, says that it is a spring of water; then 08Ghev1    14:8 | bad faith of the latter is evident 08Ghev1    14:10 | It is this way that you are 08Ghev1    14:11 | regarding our Lord, but today is not the first time we 08Ghev1    14:11 | of the Prophets. Furthermore, it is by the grace and the 08Ghev1    14:11 | founded, propagated and believed. It is by these words that it 08Ghev1    14:13 | in any other. The truth is that there exists no contradiction 08Ghev1    14:18 | the truth cannot deny what is and, at the same time 08Ghev1    14:18 | same time, affirm that which is not, whereas the lie is 08Ghev1    14:18 | is not, whereas the lie is capable of anything, being able 08Ghev1    14:18 | Himself by professing that there is no God 08Ghev1    14:19 | Consequently, it is not surprising that the lie 08Ghev1    14:19 | them of being sinful. Jesus is indeed worthy of confidence not 08Ghev1    14:20 | Old and the New Testaments is in fact the reason that 08Ghev1    14:20 | the reason that no contradiction is found in them 08Ghev1    14:21 | of these writings, if it is the head of your religion 08Ghev1    14:21 | forgotten himself, and if it is some other, he has only 08Ghev1    14:27 | in brief, tell me please: Is the testimony borne by one 08Ghev1    14:27 | while he lies, thinks he is telling the truth? This is 08Ghev1    14:27 | is telling the truth? This is how one tells the truth 08Ghev1    14:30 | on a lie, and it is a lie to adopt part 08Ghev1    14:32 | Their alphabet is composed of twenty-two letters 08Ghev1    14:32 | sound the same, and that is not without real significance 08Ghev1    14:33 | It is by the inspiration of God 08Ghev1    14:34 | geared to his descendant who is Christ, and the laws concerning 08Ghev1    14:39 | no matter how much violence is done them, cannot be applied 08Ghev1    14:45 | he composed everything infallibly, as is proved by the fact that 08Ghev1    14:46 | to faults of memory.” It is true that every man is 08Ghev1    14:46 | is true that every man is always feeble in every respect 08Ghev1    14:46 | always feeble in every respect, is imperfect and forgetful. Yet God 08Ghev1    14:46 | and forgetful. Yet God, who is eternal, whose power is great 08Ghev1    14:46 | who is eternal, whose power is great, and whose wisdom is 08Ghev1    14:46 | is great, and whose wisdom is without limitation, spoke to men 08Ghev1    14:46 | Prophets, His ministers. He who is exempt from forgetfulness and conjectures 08Ghev1    14:46 | from forgetfulness and conjectures, it is He who speaks through the 08Ghev1    14:48 | rather approaches a person who is deprived completely of the testimony 08Ghev1    14:50 | the ministry of Moses. That is not so. What He commanded 08Ghev1    14:54 | I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I 08Ghev1    14:54 | and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out 08Ghev1    14:55 | in my anger a fire is kindled which shall burn unto 08Ghev1    14:58 | of sending them Prophets. It is for this reason that the 08Ghev1    14:58 | the name of Paraclete, that is the Comforter, to comfort them 08Ghev1    14:60 | This blasphemy, in fact, is unpardonable, as the Lord says 08Ghev1    14:61 | Spirit to the saints, that is, to His disciples, not to 08Ghev1    14:65 | into seventy-two sects. This is not true, so do not 08Ghev1    14:65 | this lie which you pretend is based on our error. In 08Ghev1    14:65 | error. In fact, the blame is applicable in your very case 08Ghev1    14:66 | This is what I mean: According to 08Ghev1    14:68 | The last mentioned, the Hariuri, is again divided into two, one 08Ghev1    14:68 | into two, one of which is rather peaceable, but the other 08Ghev1    14:68 | rather peaceable, but the other ( is so much full of hatred 08Ghev1    14:69 | head a single person, who is at the same time chief 08Ghev1    14:70 | Yet it is now eight hundred years, more 08Ghev1    14:70 | some minor divergence among Christians is found, it is because of 08Ghev1    14:70 | among Christians is found, it is because of the differences of 08Ghev1    14:71 | be Christians, but whose faith is only a blasphemy, and their 08Ghev1    14:73 | In any case it is nothing strange that Christians, who 08Ghev1    14:73 | in each language. The Gospel is the same, without any variation 08Ghev1    14:74 | language of the Saracens, which is yours, ninth that of the 08Ghev1    14:77 | nullify the little truth there is in what you say 08Ghev1    14:80 | It is very difficult indeed for the 08Ghev1    14:82 | Do you believe that it is to angels, who dare not 08Ghev1    14:82 | look upon Him, that God is addressing these words? We do 08Ghev1    14:82 | could it be that God is addressing these words, if not 08Ghev1    14:82 | not to His Word, who is the image of His substance 08Ghev1    14:83 | to it. Although the sun is one and the rays emanate 08Ghev1    14:83 | from it, yet the sun is one thing and the rays 08Ghev1    14:83 | away these rays and there is no more sun. And if 08Ghev1    14:83 | In effect, though the sun is other than its rays, their 08Ghev1    14:85 | the Holy Scriptures; as it is, you give highest consideration to 08Ghev1    14:85 | and change or delete what is not in accordance with your 08Ghev1    14:86 | Cursed is the man who professes two 08Ghev1    14:87 | And this Word is not like ours, which, as 08Ghev1    14:87 | decomposes and dissipates. This Word is what we recognize as the 08Ghev1    14:87 | nothing dims, a ray which is not originated like those of 08Ghev1    14:87 | those of the sun, but is of a quality so eminent 08Ghev1    14:88 | It is this Word which Scriptures call 08Ghev1    14:88 | dominance of passion such as is of earth, but as the 08Ghev1    14:88 | word emanates from reason. This is all that human language can 08Ghev1    14:89 | Now, among creatures, there is no being more precious before 08Ghev1    14:90 | It is evident that Adam was created 08Ghev1    14:91 | ending up into idolatry, which is the first and the last 08Ghev1    14:93 | for mankind, for He alone is the true compassionate benefactor of 08Ghev1    14:95 | our soul and all that is proper to man save sin 08Ghev1    14:95 | Him as to one who is veritably God 08Ghev1    14:97 | from among his people.” [Deut. 18:15, 18-19]. It is true that since the death 08Ghev1    14:97 | one only, namely, he who is the most powerful of them 08Ghev1    14:102 | nature in heaven: “The earth is full of the steadfast love 08Ghev1    14:103 | incarnation of the Word: “This is our God, no other can 08Ghev1    14:104 | and lived among men. She is the book of the commandments 08Ghev1    14:105 | of His light: the first is that of His ineffable humiliation 08Ghev1    14:105 | of God; and the second is that of the general resurrection 08Ghev1    14:105 | really happened, lest strangers, that is to say pagans, should possess 08Ghev1    14:110 | that of Agag, the answer is that whatever Agag may have 08Ghev1    14:110 | temporal, while that of Christ is celestial. You will see that 08Ghev1    14:110 | the kingdom of Christ really is such if you pay attention 08Ghev1    14:113 | who, in His human nature is son of David, but in 08Ghev1    14:113 | but in His divine nature is Son of God and Word 08Ghev1    14:114 | as is indicated still more clearly in 08Ghev1    14:115 | forth for me one who is to be ruler of Israel 08Ghev1    14:115 | dated as from eternal days is not possible 08Ghev1    14:116 | of Jeremiah, saying: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and 08Ghev1    14:117 | Hebrew language the word Israel is translated as ’penetrating seer’ 08Ghev1    14:118 | That the will of God is that Israel should remain to 08Ghev1    14:118 | For to us a child is born. . . and the government will 08Ghev1    14:118 | Father, Prince of Peace.” [Isaiah 9:6]. He is called Angel by reason of 08Ghev1    14:120 | Now it is well known that (Jesus) did 08Ghev1    14:121 | Someone may now ask, what is this throne of David? And 08Ghev1    14:121 | throne of David? And how is it eternal and as the 08Ghev1    14:121 | days of the heavens? It is the celestial kingdom of Christ 08Ghev1    14:122 | It is evident from this passage that 08Ghev1    14:122 | name Emmanuel, which means, God is with us 08Ghev1    14:129 | mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and 08Ghev1    14:129 | sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not 08Ghev1    14:131 | by two witnesses. Indeed this is one of the more important 08Ghev1    14:132 | Is it that you have forgotten 08Ghev1    14:133 | of so many such contradictions is purely human invention, but I 08Ghev1    14:134 | may see them. This deception is most shameful and dishonorable 08Ghev1    14:136 | There is only one single faith, you 08Ghev1    14:136 | single faith, you say. There is indeed but one faith, one 08Ghev1    14:136 | one faith, one baptism; there is no other faith nor commandment 08Ghev1    14:136 | the legislation ordains. This objection is completely nonsense and false, because 08Ghev1    14:136 | when they made their prayers is not known 08Ghev1    14:137 | It is you who wants to venerate 08Ghev1    14:139 | was really man, since it is necessary to believe that the 08Ghev1    14:142 | note: “The Father (who sent) is with me” [John 16:32]. Again, “I came 08Ghev1    14:143 | that you make, however, there is one passage which you quote 08Ghev1    14:143 | faith in it. That passage is this: “He who believes in 08Ghev1    14:143 | me.” [John 12:44]. The meaning of this is that it is not in 08Ghev1    14:143 | of this is that it is not in His human and 08Ghev1    14:143 | divine nature, inasmuch as He is the Word of God 08Ghev1    14:144 | saying to them: “The Father is greater than I” [John 14:28]; that is 08Ghev1    14:144 | is greater than I” [John 14:28]; that is to say, greater than (my 08Ghev1    14:145 | idle opinions, for the fact is that Jesus, perfect God, became 08Ghev1    14:146 | the divine voice, saying: “This is my beloved Son, with whom 08Ghev1    14:148 | man. It seems that it is only the truth that you 08Ghev1    14:149 | man, according to your supposition, is it an incredible thing that 08Ghev1    14:152 | Father who has sent me is with me” [John 16:32], “I am ascending 08Ghev1    14:153 | He is ( Jesus) Father by His divine 08Ghev1    14:153 | become children of God.” [John 1:12]. He is His God because of His 08Ghev1    14:154 | established the true law. This is the prophecy: “Behold, the days 08Ghev1    14:155 | not that of which one is reminded by the blood of 08Ghev1    14:165 | so great a mystery. This is the day on which God 08Ghev1    14:168 | you in these terms: “How is it possible for God to 08Ghev1    14:169 | suppose that you know there is a multitude of creatures God 08Ghev1    14:171 | has been created by Him is unclean, save only sin, which 08Ghev1    14:171 | even ordained. In fact there is nothing more precious than man 08Ghev1    14:172 | as I have said, there is nothing unclean in human nature 08Ghev1    14:174 | It is you alone who consider them 08Ghev1    14:175 | other created things, for it is of holy men that God 08Ghev1    14:175 | them.” [2 Cor. 6:16]. And again, “But this is the man to whom I 08Ghev1    14:175 | I will look, he that is humble and contrite in spirit 08Ghev1    14:176 | It is clearly to be seen here 08Ghev1    14:176 | His habitation, and that He is not offended by their natural 08Ghev1    14:177 | death in His cause? It is of (these) martyrs that the 08Ghev1    14:177 | the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints 08Ghev1    14:178 | bones; not one of them is broken.” [Psalm 34:19-20]. The divine power that 08Ghev1    14:179 | Holy Spirit) further declares: “God is marvellous to His saints” [Psalm 68:35], and 08Ghev1    14:179 | live forever, and their reward is with the Lord. In the 08Ghev1    14:181 | does not consider that He is defiled by dwelling in the 08Ghev1    14:181 | me and to you unclean is just the opposite in the 08Ghev1    14:182 | our Lord that, “The hour is coming when whoever kills you 08Ghev1    14:182 | kills you will think he is offering service to God.’ 08Ghev1    14:183 | It is thus that Muhammad, your father’s 08Ghev1    14:185 | It is ( in imitation of this sign 08Ghev1    14:186 | crown in which the Church is forever glorified. He says: “The 08Ghev1    14:186 | feet glorious.” [Isaiah 60:13]. Solomon says: “Blessed is the wood by which reighteousness 08Ghev1    14:186 | reighteousness comes.” [Wisdom 14:7]. Again, “She (wisdom) is a tree of life to 08Ghev1    14:189 | that house of yours which is called the Ka’aba, the dwelling 08Ghev1    14:193 | a single day. As it is, they are able to do 08Ghev1    14:194 | all these abominations, the worst is that of accusing God of 08Ghev1    14:195 | Is there indeed a worse blasphemy 08Ghev1    14:195 | that of alleging that God is the cause of all this 08Ghev1    14:195 | as you remind me, it is well known that therein he 08Ghev1    14:195 | by the Lord. The fact is that your legislator and all 08Ghev1    14:196 | to be such as it is, and that is what you 08Ghev1    14:196 | as it is, and that is what you really do in 08Ghev1    14:198 | It is said that the serpent has 08Ghev1    14:200 | the treasurer of God. That is an erroneous diversion from our 08Ghev1    14:205 | It is then true that Satan, enfeebled 08Ghev1    14:206 | The meaning of the vision is this: The aspect of the 08Ghev1    14:206 | maritime desert indicates that it is your desert which is situated 08Ghev1    14:206 | it is your desert which is situated by the side of 08Ghev1    14:208 | to save the universe. It is this disobedience of the Jewish 08Ghev1    14:209 | top of his voice: “Fallen is Babylon; and all the images 08Ghev1    14:210 | iniquity to your race, that is to say, the infidelity of 08Ghev1    14:211 | you into his error. It is thus that he has led 08Ghev1    14:214 | For the kingdom of God is not food and drink”, as 08Ghev1    14:215 | pleasures to any good, it is precisely for that reason that 08Ghev1    14:215 | of no account if it is not peopled with women 08Ghev1    14:218 | Because such is our hope, we are tormented 08Ghev1    19:7 | cities of that country. It is said that the number of 08Ghev1    20:6 | the glory of our faith is great before the Lord and 08Ghev1    20:14 | by our swords. Rather, it is the right hand of the 08Ghev1    20:15 | That is because it was not due 08Ghev1    20:18 | me you will choose what is good for yourself and for 08Ghev1    20:18 | troops. Otherwise quickly do whatever is obsessing you. And let the 08Ghev1    20:18 | let the Lord determine what is good and pleasing in His 08Ghev1    20:29 | and not judge you as is fitting. For behold, you are 08Ghev1    23:3 | himself with disgraceful behavior, he is worthy of death and should 08Ghev1    24:9 | It is certainly worth pondering why the 08Ghev1    24:11 | evil they worked, (God) Who is the source of all good 08Ghev1    25:10 | pitiful and ignoble death. As is said of behavior unpleasing to 08Ghev1    25:10 | grows from bad seed. That is how it was in this 08Ghev1    26:2 | scheme. Quite the contrary, it is a devious plan and a 08Ghev1    26:4 | the our country of Armenia is experiencing 08Ghev1    28:9 | on the princely Houses, that is all the expenses for clothing 08Ghev1    34:23 | conquer) tens of thousands. This is because the Lord is fighting 08Ghev1    34:23 | This is because the Lord is fighting your war. Arm yourselves 08Ghev1    34:28 | the city of T’e’odupolis which is ( also) called (Erzerum) Karin 08Ghev1    34:64 | earthly concerns. For this death is temporary whereas life is eternal 08Ghev1    34:64 | death is temporary whereas life is eternal 08Ghev1    34:65 | This is the encouragement they gave each 08Ghev1    37:5 | large force against Basanastan, which is called Bishan (Commagene). (This army 08Ghev1    38:2 | promised to do, but whatever is the will and pleasure of 08Ghev1    38:2 | and pleasure of God, that is what will be done 08Ghev1    40:7 | from their clutches and live is to agree to convert to 08Ghev1    40:7 | word of our Prophet. That is your only deliverance from the 08Ghev1    40:13 | the Epiphany of Christ, which is celebrated for eight consecutive days 08Ghev1    42:9 | anyone hide something that later is discovered, he will pay for 08Ghev1    43:1 | the most holy Trinity which is blessed now and forever, amen 09Draskh1    1:1 | of the knowledge of what is very reliable and ever feasible 09Draskh1    1:9 | that not only our nation is descended from him but that 09Draskh1    1:26 | earth and every thing that is in it 09Draskh1    2:15 | the first man, Adam, there is a period of [2242] years 09Draskh1    2:16 | record of his generations, that is to say, how, whence, why 09Draskh1    3:1 | Then Nimrod (Nebrovt’), who is the same as Bel, became 09Draskh1    3:3 | Nimrod, that is Bel, pursued Hayk with his 09Draskh1    3:6 | pass through its length, which is hollowed by their gurgling waters 09Draskh1    3:14 | passages of a cavern which is now called k’arawaz by many 09Draskh1    3:17 | valorous contests of Aram, who is said to have extended by 09Draskh1    4:18 | It is said that the (social) order 09Draskh1    4:18 | its origin from him, and is assumed to be of royal 09Draskh1    4:21 | and the lyre the latter is said to have fought against 09Draskh1    4:29 | to the coronation of Vagharshak is [2297] years 09Draskh1    5:1 | As for the rest that is narrated by certain others, if 09Draskh1    5:1 | by certain others, if it is a must for you to 09Draskh1    5:6 | and was called Parthian, that is, ’Vehemence’ 09Draskh1    5:11 | of Pontus and Caesarea, which is called Mazaca (Mizhak), with the 09Draskh1    5:14 | Mede Astyages (Azhdahak), whose family is now called Murac’an 09Draskh1    5:17 | in harmony and brotherhood, which is the source of prosperity and 09Draskh1    5:20 | Pontus and defeated them.

With this, which is like a reflecting mirror, I 09Draskh1    68:9 | but as the evangelical net is cast into the sea, through 09Draskh1    68:10 | eternity where a holy torch is brightly ablaze for those who 09Draskh1    68:16 | keep away from that which is harmful and hostile to the 09Draskh1    68:21 | yourselves with the splendor that is ready at hand; and then 09Draskh1    68:22 | remuneration from the Lord Who is always blessed and glorified by 10Tovma1    1:0 | It is ( only) with great effort that 10Tovma1    1:0 | in the search for what is reliable, perusing the written works 10Tovma1    1:1 | order of the ten nations is accurately written in all accounts 10Tovma1    1:1 | the next task for us is to set down in order 10Tovma1    1:1 | of the three nations, that is, of the sons of Noah 10Tovma1    1:1 | order in all books, there is no need for us to 10Tovma1    1:4 | the city of Ninos—which is Nineveh, called the capital of 10Tovma1    1:7 | seems to me that it is not appropriate cursorily to pass 10Tovma1    1:7 | whom Nebrot’ (was descended); or is indeed the race of the 10Tovma1    1:8 | called king of Assyria. This is confirmed for us by Eusebius 10Tovma1    1:8 | the offspring of Sem, as is known from the established account 10Tovma1    1:9 | lot of Sem, while Ninos is assured to be from the 10Tovma1    1:10 | which in the Armenian language is pronounced Shamiram 10Tovma1    1:12 | as far as Joseph, yet is silent about the genealogy of 10Tovma1    1:13 | the birth of Christ, he is included in the genealogy instead 10Tovma1    1:15 | Add to that what is written, that she palpitated with 10Tovma1    1:20 | infinite myriads of years, which is not a convincing demonstration following 10Tovma1    1:23 | Eden to the east”—that is, in a country in the 10Tovma1    1:23 | the East about which there is nothing more to say than 10Tovma1    1:23 | in between. Its unlimited size is indicated by the enormity of 10Tovma1    1:26 | of the murderer. So it is now appropriate to call him 10Tovma1    1:29 | that in every way he is incurable by good; not a 10Tovma1    1:29 | the vital aspect in him is not inclined to the good 10Tovma1    1:34 | Cain will suffer sevenfold vengeance,” is there really a sevenfold debt 10Tovma1    1:34 | of sin? If God’s saying is to be understood according to 10Tovma1    1:40 | when he asked him: “Where is your brother Abel?” saying: “I 10Tovma1    1:42 | which in the original language is translated as “drinking.” This Philo 10Tovma1    1:48 | same list. But why (he is not counted) in the genealogy 10Tovma1    1:48 | not counted) in the genealogy is because Abel did not have 10Tovma1    1:59 | three areas of the world is called the region of Asia 10Tovma1    1:61 | because they are flesh”—that is, lovers of the body and 10Tovma1    1:62 | destroy everything in which there is living breath”—indicating (his) further 10Tovma1    1:63 | incessant love for man, which is still said to pardon the 10Tovma1    1:65 | the land of upper India is said to be his daughter’s 10Tovma1    1:66 | building the ark, if it is most appropriate to say that 10Tovma1    1:67 | says “about eight persons,” that is an expression of incertitude. Of 10Tovma1    1:71 | arc in the clouds,” which is the rainbow. Some say that 10Tovma1    1:71 | rainbow. Some say that it is fire emerging from cloud, and 10Tovma1    1:71 | worship the elements (say it is) the belt of Aramazd 10Tovma1    1:72 | But if Bel is the one who gives orders 10Tovma1    1:72 | gives orders to Aramazd, how is it that Aramazd is deprived 10Tovma1    1:72 | how is it that Aramazd is deprived of his belt—at 10Tovma1    1:72 | further on their fables. It is not fire emerging from cloud 10Tovma1    1:72 | night. But in reality, it is rays of the sun, hidden 10Tovma1    1:72 | occur in the beginning, it is said to have come about 10Tovma1    1:74 | to be pronounced Awawrshelim—that is, Jerusalem—which being translated means 10Tovma1    1:75 | death and execution, the same is “ summit” and “Golgotha” in Hebrew 10Tovma1    1:78 | Noah, Ham, Kush, Nebrot’, who is also Bel. Of these enough 10Tovma1    2:7 | mind good to say, why is the insatiable filling of Bel’s 10Tovma1    2:8 | days to come. So it is ( now) the appropriate time to 10Tovma1    2:12 | the cult of demons. It is appropriate to liken them to 10Tovma1    2:16 | was Mestrim, called Metsrayim—that is, Egypt—because of (his) inheritance 10Tovma1    2:16 | For Kush son of Ham is called Ethiopian, whom the Book 10Tovma1    2:16 | father of Nebrot’; and Ethiopia is part of Egypt and of 10Tovma1    2:18 | unconcerned about those (in between) is because in the books of 10Tovma1    3:1 | Ninos—nothing important or significant is found in the books of 10Tovma1    3:4 | He is said to have reigned over 10Tovma1    3:11 | He note: “My son Ormizd is luminous and sweet-smelling, but 10Tovma1    3:12 | detail, in sum everything that is good is Ormizd’s and noble 10Tovma1    3:12 | sum everything that is good is Ormizd’s and noble, while evil 10Tovma1    3:17 | do not say that fire is a creature of Ormizd, but 10Tovma1    3:17 | it) to mankind. And earth is host to the god Spandaramet 10Tovma1    3:17 | was and remains; and man is self-begotten 10Tovma1    3:18 | who called themselves hamakdēn—that is, “ fully knowledgeable in the faith 10Tovma1    3:20 | was?” And they note: “There is an exceedingly high mountain beyond 10Tovma1    3:20 | Emawon in the East, which is truly the highest (spot) of 10Tovma1    3:20 | of the mountain, as it is close to the heavens 10Tovma1    3:21 | and in the daytime (it is covered with) a very dense 10Tovma1    3:22 | report about Origen’s view. Nor is it distant, as some suppose 10Tovma1    3:24 | which I do not believe is ( even) said of the demons 10Tovma1    3:30 | spoken through the birds.” It is most appropriate in this regard 10Tovma1    3:34 | and not the sun, which is Hephaistos, saying it is part 10Tovma1    3:34 | which is Hephaistos, saying it is part of a god, how 10Tovma1    3:34 | part of a god, how is it that the thief and 10Tovma1    3:34 | the thief and weak one is worshipped like a god? But 10Tovma1    3:34 | ashamed to say that fire is part of a god? For 10Tovma1    3:35 | Likewise, if water is thrown into a clean clear 10Tovma1    3:37 | The protest is against the frequency of (their 10Tovma1    3:37 | seen from created things—that is, his eternity and power and 10Tovma1    3:38 | How is this known? The most sagacious 10Tovma1    3:38 | say that every moving body is naturally moved by something else 10Tovma1    3:38 | something else. For a body is not self-moving but (only 10Tovma1    3:38 | moving but (only) the spirit is self-moving. Now we see 10Tovma1    3:38 | a regular, unceasing movement—that is, the sun and moon and 10Tovma1    3:38 | other such (bodies). And it is clear that they are moved 10Tovma1    3:38 | if by another, then it is someone who moves the heavenly 10Tovma1    3:39 | because the movement of heaven is one and the same, it 10Tovma1    3:39 | one and the same, it is clear that it is moved 10Tovma1    3:39 | it is clear that it is moved by a single someone 10Tovma1    3:39 | regular. And because the heaven is eternally moving, it is clear 10Tovma1    3:39 | heaven is eternally moving, it is clear that he who moves 10Tovma1    3:40 | Whence it is clear that he is bodiless 10Tovma1    3:40 | it is clear that he is bodiless, because a body has 10Tovma1    3:40 | body has limited power and is not able to move heaven 10Tovma1    3:40 | and regularly. From this it is clear that he is uncreated 10Tovma1    3:40 | it is clear that he is uncreated. For the created is 10Tovma1    3:40 | is uncreated. For the created is from matter and form; what 10Tovma1    3:40 | from matter and form; what is made from matter is not 10Tovma1    3:40 | what is made from matter is not bodiless and does not 10Tovma1    3:40 | have limitless power. Now he is uncreated and unlimited and not 10Tovma1    3:40 | by someone. And that which is uncreated, the same is incorruptible 10Tovma1    3:40 | which is uncreated, the same is incorruptible; and what is incorruptible 10Tovma1    3:40 | same is incorruptible; and what is incorruptible, the same is also 10Tovma1    3:40 | what is incorruptible, the same is also eternal. Now the eternal 10Tovma1    3:41 | So, then it is clear according to this argument 10Tovma1    3:41 | who moves the heavenly body is one, has unlimited power, is 10Tovma1    3:41 | is one, has unlimited power, is bodiless and uncreated and incorruptible 10Tovma1    3:41 | bodiless and uncreated and incorruptible, is himself not (created) by anyone 10Tovma1    3:41 | to one, God; and he is Creator 10Tovma1    4:5 | year the flood of Ogeges is reported 10Tovma1    4:18 | his time Pegasus flourished, who is reported to have been a 10Tovma1    4:36 | palace abandoned by Bel, which is the house of Astorov 10Tovma1    5:11 | the Lydian army—“Cyrus’s army is defeated and the king has 10Tovma1    5:15 | Ezra, King Salat’iel, died and is buried in Marbakatina in a 10Tovma1    6:21 | more renowned than valour—which is more appropriate for the effeminate 10Tovma1    6:35 | minded, nonetheless, for me it is more pleasing to place confidence 10Tovma1    6:41 | This Vahan whom we mentioned is the same Vahan whom the 10Tovma1    6:46 | So it is a great pleasure for me 10Tovma1    6:52 | We think this is sufficient indication for now of 10Tovma1    6:52 | detail yet briefly, for it is not the occasion for us 10Tovma1    7:12 | Now the valley of Andzahk’ is so called for the reason 10Tovma1    7:12 | chaos of the land that is uninhabited by men and free 10Tovma1    8:8 | called the fortress Zard, that is, “ splendour,” for the splendid construction 10Tovma1    8:12 | But how the matter ended is not clear to us 10Tovma1    10:2 | by a single person—that is, Christ—rather than by the 10Tovma1    10:5 | For who is grander than the descendants of 10Tovma1    10:13 | your rule; for their hand is with Shapuh king of kings 10Tovma1    10:34 | it to the place which is now called Dzoroy Vank’, to 10Tovma1    10:37 | Mazdaeans and Aryans.

The Lord weakens 10Tovma2    2:22 | Lord weakens opponents; the Lord is our hope 10Tovma2    2:25 | called Eriz.

For the tree is judged by its fruit, as 12Last1    22:2 | angel of light, so it is not strange if his servants 12Last1    22:3 | Just as poison is mixed with ordinary food, and 12Last1    22:3 | an abyss from which there is no exit 12Last1    22:4 | and just as that illness is difficult to cure, so the 12Last1    22:6 | It is easy to beware of external 12Last1    22:6 | speaks a foreign language, it is easy for us to beware 12Last1    22:7 | were not of us” [I John 2.19], it is not easy to recognize them 12Last1    22:12 | about this matter.
