01Kor1    2:24|memory of those who poured it shall be preached under heaven
01Kor1    2:25|of the Canaanite woman that it was great, and the generosity
01Kor1    2:33|or pride, but so that it may serve as an example
01Kor1    2:35|it is good to be zealously
01Kor1    2:39|It is evident from what has
01Kor1    6:7|As for Habel, upon hearing it, he hastened to Daniel, and
01Kor1    9:8|which is from God; for it is from only one omnipotent
01Kor1    11:3|said He, “and write in it with a scribe’s pen.” And
01Kor1    11:3|And elsewhere: “Now go, write it on a tablet, and inscribe
01Kor1    11:3|on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book.” But David
01Kor1    12:3|grace of God’s commandments. Here it is needful to recall the
01Kor1    15:2|He wrote, arranged, and put it in order, and taking a
01Kor1    16:9|It was ordered that Mesrop be
01Kor1    16:18|educational task, organized and completed it. And having acquired many a
01Kor1    17:6|And when they had accomplished it and had done all that
01Kor1    19:2|And it so happened that they dispatched
01Kor1    22:4|It is better that I glory
01Kor1    22:8|the power of God solved it, and with ceaseless speech, he
01Kor1    22:12|Thus, it is evident without the need
01Kor1    22:15|to work and to teach,” it should be understood that He
01Kor1    22:17|teacher of truth, first applied it to their imperfect selves, and
01Kor1    22:17|imperfect selves, and then transmitted it to their disciples. They greatly
01Kor1    22:18|For in reality it is far more useful to
01Kor1    22:20|And it was thus that they lived
01Kor1    23:2|faithful glorifiers of God, concerning it in writing
01Kor1    24:7|of the saints, and sealed it with the seal of Christ
01Kor1    27:2|It so happened that, after the
02Agat1    1:3|Now it happened that after the death
02Agat1    2:16|Anak note: “It was for this reason that
02Agat1    3:3|It happened that someone took and
02Agat1    4:1|It happened that in those same
02Agat1    4:10|city gates were closed since it was midnight
02Agat1    4:11|As it was the middle of the

02Agat1    4:13|It was then that Trdat climbed
02Agat1    4:25|horses and reached each other. It was there that the man
02Agat1    4:29|conquered that land and put it into subjection
02Agat1    4:30|conquered his patrimonial lordship, making it his own, and strengthened its
02Agat1    5:10|Gregory replied and note: “It is commanded by God that
02Agat1    5:11|But it is not fitting to pay
02Agat1    5:12|by him and whose duty it is to worship him and
02Agat1    5:17|For it is written by God that
02Agat1    5:32|seek vengeance for impiety, demanding it with impartial and rigorous judgment
02Agat1    5:37|made this world and fashioned it [cf. Jn. 1.3]; he is the judge of
02Agat1    6:1|and learned up and which it is unfitting for you to
02Agat1    6:23|all the wooden field, and it will consume sinners, and will
02Agat1    7:34|image and bodily form upon it

02Agat1    8:1|scribes of the tribunal wrote it down. For he paid no
02Agat1    8:13|creations of my God, because ’it is sown in weakness and
02Agat1    8:13|and rises up in power; it is sown in dishonor, and
02Agat1    8:15|of wheat comes to harvest it will offer to the sowers

02Agat1    11:3|For it is all this time since
02Agat1    11:3|to destruction and captivity. So, it is not right for him
02Agat1    11:9|the land of Asorestan - wrecking it and subjecting it to incredible
02Agat1    11:9|Asorestan - wrecking it and subjecting it to incredible blows
02Agat1    11:10|It is for this reason that
02Agat1    11:16|muddy slime, the snakes inhabiting it, and the depth
02Agat1    12:1|the lands of his realm. It had this import
02Agat1    12:9|them from the gods. Thus, it was for this reason that
02Agat1    12:12|Now should it happen that suddenly some person
02Agat1    12:16|and districts of his realm. It had this content: “Trdatios, king
02Agat1    12:17|You yourselves know that it was by the aid of
02Agat1    12:17|of our ancestors, and that it was by the aid of
02Agat1    12:19|we are ordering you - whether it happens that such folk be
02Agat1    12:20|Christians, or hide them and it be found out, then those
02Agat1    13:1|Now it happened in that period that
02Agat1    13:4|on their tablets, they sent it to the emperor
02Agat1    14:3|the edict, King Trdat took it from his hand with joy
02Agat1    15:5|It was not right for the

02Agat1    15:25|For you it is, Lord, who drowned in
02Agat1    16:9|And so it thundered for a long while
02Agat1    16:9|until people were dazed from it and in awe. Many horses
02Agat1    16:10|of blood was shed that it watered the ground
02Agat1    16:16|You it was who parted the Red
02Agat1    16:17|You it was who turned the sterile
02Agat1    16:18|You it was who brought down your
02Agat1    17:18|crown and the rest which it promised, and will strengthen you
02Agat1    17:39|But it is better for us to
02Agat1    18:3|stuck out her tongue, offering it to them
02Agat1    19:25|So it was that on the twenty
02Agat1    20:7|was deep mourning because of it
02Agat1    20:8|Then it came about that a vision
02Agat1    20:11|How could it be as you describe since
02Agat1    20:11|be as you describe since it has been these fifteen years
02Agat1    20:12|came to the woman again - it was repeated five more times
02Agat1    20:22|rope, and grabbed hold of it
02Agat1    20:38|been their dwelling, and made it his own residence
02Agat1    21:5|true Son of God considers it no shame to call his
02Agat1    21:20|But this I know, that it was in ignorance that you
02Agat1    21:34|any other men. How was it possible for human bodily nature
02Agat1    22:10|Was it really possible for a single
02Agat1    22:16|boast of myself, but because it is impossible to hide God’s
02Agat1    22:24|the divine command. We considered it of great importance to conduct
02Agat1    22:32|to indicate what is profitable. It is for you to listen
02Agat3    1:13|And because it is now evening, go and
02Agat3    4:8|opened, and the waters above it divided like the firmament, for
02Agat3    4:10|so did the hosts with it
02Agat3    4:13|as a hill, and on it an exceedingly tall column of
02Agat3    4:18|with the Lord’s cross above it. Around it spread light in
02Agat3    4:18|Lord’s cross above it. Around it spread light in every direction
02Agat3    4:31|you might pay heed to it
02Agat3    4:38|on the earth and makes it shake; he approaches the hills
02Agat3    4:41|and the shining cross above it - the base of gold is
02Agat3    4:43|Now the shining cross on it is the great high- priest
02Agat3    4:56|together the whole edifice, and it increases the glory of God
02Agat3    4:58|And it mingled with its rays, because
02Agat3    4:58|mingled with its rays, because it receives from the Son and
02Agat3    4:59|And it was united to the same
02Agat3    4:61|And it spread out and filled many
02Agat3    4:61|and filled many places because it will become salvation for many
02Agat3    6:3|anyone else to enter, saying: “It is not appropriate for you
02Agat3    6:9|I not earlier say that it is improper for you to
02Agat3    8:2|into their garments and removed it
02Agat3    8:20|with doors and locks secured it. They erected the sign of
02Agat3    10:1|their midst - to completely destroy it. This was to prevent the
02Agat3    10:5|demolished, burned, wrecked, and ruined it
02Agat3    10:6|It was here that demons appeared
02Agat3    10:12|of everyone, those who heard it were even more confirmed in
02Agat3    10:21|in innocence, and then put it into their minds that they
02Agat3    11:9|in the district of Erez. It was here, in the form
02Agat3    13:7|humankind is so profound that it is indescribable. Instead, let them
02Agat3    13:8|Now it happened after this, that a
02Agat3    13:8|appeared to the king. In it he saw the angel of
02Agat3    13:9|about the matter. He note: “It is Christ Who is commanding
02Agat3    13:10|Then Gregory accepted it immediately, saying: “Let God’s will
02Agat3    15:6|blessed chief priest. Leontius received it with great joy and all
02Agat3    16:2|were three sanctuaries remaining in it: first was the temple of
02Agat3    16:6|small valley with water in it, the white mules pulling the
02Agat3    16:7|appeared to Gregory and note: “It has pleased the Lord that
02Agat3    17:5|high as the mountain where it levelled, overturned, and demolished all
02Agat3    17:6|It so destroyed things that afterwards
02Agat3    17:6|destruction was so thorough that it seemed as though nothing ever
02Agat3    17:10|It was there in Taron that
02Agat3    17:10|the glory of Christ. For it was there that he first
02Agat3    17:13|the month of [Sahmi] October. For it was in that place in
02Agat3    18:8|they had brought from Caesarea. It had the following contents
02Agat3    19:6|and built a church, and it was there, in the Lord’s
02Agat3    20:3|shined out so brightly that it obscured and reduced the sun’s
02Agat3    22:6|of the district of Ayrarat. It was here that the divine
02Agat3    23:9|then I am strong,” andIt would be better to boast
02Agat3    24:6|So, it is undoubtedly obvious that the
02Agat3    24:10|For it is more profitable to separate
02Agat3    26:1|to descend. They told him: “It is better for you to
02Agat3    26:6|episcopacy in his place, as it is writtenThe sons will
02Agat3    26:11|secular literature, having previously studied it, being especially knowledgeable in the
02Agat3    27:11|with Christ’s sign and put it on his head. So, the
02Agat3    29:1|It was after this that the
02Agat3    29:2|Nicaea among all the bishops. It was there that the acceptable
02Agat3    29:3|It was there, too, that the
02Agat3    30:3|large sheet and write on it with the pen of an
02Agat3    30:3|on a tablet and establish it in writing, that he who
02Agat3    30:6|this in writing by deriving it from old tales but from
02Agat3    31:14|our earthly nature and joined it to his unmingled divinity and
02Agat3    31:15|and the Only-begotten joined it to his divinity
02Agat3    31:22|endless ages. Amen, and may it so be
03Buz3    3:5|church of Armenia was located. It was here that long ago
03Buz3    3:7|For it was the custom of the
03Buz3    5:9|vision Yusik saw as though it were reality that his wife
03Buz3    5:11|It was the king who had
03Buz3    5:13|did not approach her again. It was not that he regarded
03Buz3    5:16|rejected all of that, considering it foreign, loathesome and illusory
03Buz3    6:14|took his body and brought it to their district, Haband, on
03Buz3    7:4|man carry a stone, bring it and place it to make
03Buz3    7:4|stone, bring it and place it to make a mound. However
03Buz3    7:14|city, and the Lord betrayed it into his hands
03Buz3    8:27|Armenia, or even to glimpse it
03Buz3    10:2|this, for after the flood it had rested on this mountain
03Buz3    10:8|from the ark. I brought it for you from there. Do
03Buz3    10:8|is how the Lord wants it
03Buz3    10:15|the blessed man in question, it did not happen as it
03Buz3    10:15|it did not happen as it happened there; he and his
03Buz3    10:17|city and the districts surrounding it came out before Yakob with
03Buz3    10:31|on Sararat mountain, and so it was also that at the
03Buz3    10:40|but they did not believe it. But he insisted and note
03Buz3    10:41|secret things, first reveal what it is that the king is
03Buz3    11:9|God-loving land and that it not turn to serving the
03Buz3    11:23|It was there, by the tomb
03Buz3    13:7|faith by obligation, as though it were a human error, and
03Buz3    13:13|blood of a comrade, drinking it, how people competed to harm
03Buz3    13:16|Regarding them, it was as the prophetic expression
03Buz3    13:17|of the true faith as it did to other peoples, to
03Buz3    14:4|principal place of honor. For it was there in Taron that
03Buz3    14:16|other very great miracles which it is impossible to describe in
03Buz3    14:23|It was here that the blessed
03Buz3    14:23|dug into the ground. And it was here that he held
03Buz3    14:31|Him to death, He endured it and never hid His power
03Buz3    14:50|to come to you? Was it that you wanted to hear
03Buz3    14:51|to you, nonetheless all of it will befall you because you
03Buz3    14:51|you, for the Lord showed it to me thus
03Buz3    14:57|he had heard all of it, he became inflamed with wrath
03Buz3    14:58|as soon as they heard it. Although the grandee naxarar nobility
03Buz3    14:60|body and wanted to exhalt it placing it with the bones
03Buz3    14:60|wanted to exhalt it placing it with the bones of the
03Buz3    14:61|he himself commanded and cover it with soil
03Buz3    14:62|how much more necessary is it for us, earthlings, to be
03Buz3    14:65|It was there that they committed
03Buz3    17:2|was no one worthy of it from the tun of Gregory
03Buz3    18:9|Now it happened that Artawazd and Vasak
03Buz3    19:3|Now it happened that they were in
03Buz3    20:6|The horse’s color was roan. It was very brave, renowned, splendid
03Buz3    20:6|Nothing could be compared with it
03Buz3    20:7|letter from him, he brought it to the king of Armenia
03Buz3    20:9|same roan color and sent it to Varaz the prince in
03Buz3    20:9|with deeds [hrovartak] and gifts, entrusting it to the fanatical Pisak. Tiran
03Buz3    20:11|a single hide, he concealed it, ridiculing you. He found another
03Buz3    20:11|found another horse and entrusted it to me, to bring to
03Buz3    20:12|is not the extent of it. He plans to remove the
03Buz3    20:15|king of Armenia, and sent it to the king of Iran
03Buz3    20:20|attendants of his chamber, saying: “It is befitting for us to
03Buz3    20:26|had within him, artificially veiling it, and waiting to work the
03Buz3    20:27|Now it so happened that at that
03Buz3    20:29|Thus, it was that there were few
03Buz3    20:38|was king when I deprived it of two radiant vardapets, believing
03Buz3    20:43|burned the land, and turned it into a ruin
03Buz3    21:4|Thus, it was that all the people
03Buz3    21:21|occasion circumstances were disclosed and it was plainly revealed that it
03Buz3    21:21|it was plainly revealed that it had arisen over an insignificant
03Buz3    21:26|this command, he immediately implemented it. He removed the captive Tiran
03Buz3    21:27|Tiran replied: “In my blindness it is useless, improper and indeed
03Buz4    2:6|Armenia renewed and clarified, as it had been previously: each of
03Buz4    2:7|after the land and keeping it cultivated, went to the Gnunik
03Buz4    3:3|God renewed your kingdom, so it is necessary to renew the
03Buz4    3:22|troops raised a cry saying: “It is just you, the sinner
03Buz4    3:22|who must be our shepherd.” It was God’s providence that the
03Buz4    3:23|the chamberlain-ship [senekapetutiwn], and removed it from him
03Buz4    3:26|heard about this or saw it wept at how his beauty
03Buz4    3:28|It was the Lord Who had
03Buz4    3:31|as spiritual father, Gregory. But it was the Lord Who summoned
03Buz4    3:31|demand him as worthy of it
03Buz4    3:33|but it was through force, unity of
03Buz4    3:33|of God. For regarding him, it had been said to his
03Buz4    4:2|them elected him unanimously and it pleased them all to seat
03Buz4    4:21|miracles, cured the sick wherever it was necessary, and putting those
03Buz4    4:27|Word of Life, he irrigated it with his rain. The reaping
03Buz4    4:36|First, he did it, then he taught all of
03Buz4    4:38|He said it was necessary that the order
03Buz4    4:38|be corrupted, but rather that it was fitting that everyone generally
03Buz4    4:41|in-law) or anything resembling it
03Buz4    4:59|in heaven. And then, that it is easier for a thick
03Buz4    4:62|virtuous deeds without hindrance, saying: “It is good to be zealous
03Buz4    5:1|It became necessary to send to
03Buz4    5:5|Now it happened that the emperor had
03Buz4    5:7|form of a vault (over it), Whose hands created and established
03Buz4    5:24|a little later he makes it more clear all that was
03Buz4    5:24|he arose in everything, because it was pleasant for him to
03Buz4    5:41|with His light. For everyone, it determines what is heard in
03Buz4    5:63|king mourned as much as it was necessary to mourn, and
03Buz4    5:69|It was a very difficult situation
03Buz4    5:75|are right, O wise people, it is so. If his master
03Buz4    5:75|disrespect and reproach through him, it would have been impossible to
03Buz4    6:5|And he was glad that it fell to his lot to
03Buz4    6:10|do not be afraid, for it was our Lord Jesus Christ
03Buz4    6:12|No, it is not so, we will
03Buz4    6:14|not of those about whom it is said thatthe evil
03Buz4    6:16|salvation, and the reason for it is his power over the
03Buz4    6:20|collected the firewood and piled it in a pile, they thought
03Buz4    7:10|one of the villages where it was more convenient for him
03Buz4    8:3|and them, king, and let it be known which side won
03Buz4    8:3|which side won, so that it does not seem that we
03Buz4    8:7|At the meeting, it was decided to send a
03Buz4    8:17|vision and thought, what could it mean? And so the people
03Buz4    8:18|He read it and rejoiced, for he realized
03Buz4    8:25|talking and said, “What is it, why are you sweating so
03Buz4    9:5|and silver, but should hand it over to the state
03Buz4    9:6|left, and if anyone had it, then he would be subject
03Buz4    9:9|He said to them: “Bring it, hand it over to me
03Buz4    9:9|to them: “Bring it, hand it over to me, and I
03Buz4    10:20|lay down in his place. It suddenly seemed to him again
03Buz4    10:33|in relation to the Caesareans, it was ordered to return things
03Buz4    10:37|make baptismal fonts out of it, and these silver fonts still
03Buz4    11:6|the emperor’s hrovartak and with it a document of displeasure and
03Buz4    12:9|of his authority and had it preached in every public place
03Buz4    12:14|outcry was very great against it, there was no lawsuit, and
03Buz4    12:16|and became so large that it filled the entire valley
03Buz4    12:29|blinded and they, without knowing it, gropingly came and brought all
03Buz4    13:11|the city of Arshakawan, since it had been built with impiety
03Buz4    13:16|I tell you and do it to try to preserve yourself
03Buz4    13:20|Arshakawan, I myself will rebuild it with justice, and keep it
03Buz4    13:20|it with justice, and keep it flourishing before you
03Buz4    13:28|spared because of the righteous. It is because of the righteous
03Buz4    13:29|clean grain, grows together with it and is spared so that
03Buz4    13:31|So, it will continue until harvest time
03Buz4    14:2|It was he who destroyed all
03Buz4    14:7|It happened that Hayr mardpet was
03Buz4    14:10|placed his evil eye on it
03Buz4    15:16|He has become convinced that it was wrong for him to
03Buz4    15:61|pretended to do nothing about it
03Buz4    16:4|Now it happened one day that Arshak
03Buz4    16:7|his king, many times regarding it better to die than to
03Buz4    16:18|sincerely, how could he oppose it or flee
03Buz4    18:8|against his senior brother, saying: “It was Vardan who betrayed you
03Buz4    18:10|a grudge against Vardan since it was this Vardan who had
03Buz4    18:11|brother Vasak went to effect it
03Buz4    18:13|When Vardan’s people saw that it was Vasak’s brigade, they neither
03Buz4    18:13|doubt. They reasoned that since it was the force of Vardan’s
03Buz4    20:17|a foreign land and considered it better to die than to
03Buz4    20:18|So, king Arshak allowed it, and went against the Byzantines
03Buz4    20:25|such a battle and winning it as well as receiving such
03Buz4    20:33|this plan and confirmed that it was fitting to do it
03Buz4    20:33|it was fitting to do it
03Buz4    20:53|When it was the hour to bid
03Buz4    20:58|examine the slander and rebuke it
03Buz4    20:60|and Shapuh, king of Iran. It continued for more than thirty
03Buz4    21:6|Now it happened that peace came about
03Buz4    21:8|sealed such a contract, gave it to the Iranian king, and
03Buz4    22:15|raised the weapon and stuck it into the elephant’s body. But
03Buz4    24:10|they were unable to take it because of the security of
03Buz4    25:5|that there was no counting it
03Buz4    34:1|After Suren, it was Vsemakan who came, sent
03Buz4    39:3|the Iranian king, he used it as a target and shot
03Buz4    39:3|as a target and shot it full of arrows
03Buz4    43:2|Anticipating it, the general of Armenia, Vasak
03Buz4    44:5|Now it happened that once his mother
03Buz4    44:11|dews and she realized that it was they in the appearance
03Buz4    44:11|and I did not know it
03Buz4    51:2|You yourself know, lord, that it is now thirty years that
03Buz4    51:3|We are unable to stand it anymore, nor are we able
03Buz4    51:3|we able to fight anymore. It is better that we leave
03Buz4    51:11|But it would be better for you
03Buz4    51:12|my presence how many years it has been that you have
03Buz4    53:6|saw this and heard about it, they pressured and forced their
03Buz4    54:5|justly. But if he violates it, that same Gospel will bring
03Buz4    54:7|I bound with chains, and it remains in my treasury
03Buz4    54:21|that water be sprinkled on it, and half the floor be
03Buz4    54:23|wishes, you became my foe. It has been thirty years that
03Buz4    54:33|Now it became time for the evening
03Buz4    54:34|soil on the ground underneath it
03Buz4    54:38|said to him: “Hey, fox, it was you who obstructed things
03Buz4    54:42|While God allowed it, I brought you and the
03Buz4    55:1|to dig up and demolish it
03Buz4    55:4|the fortress, held and besieged it
03Buz4    55:6|but were unable to take it, for the place was very
03Buz4    55:8|Now Arshak’s son Pap it happened, was not at that
03Buz4    55:11|the fortress and not surrender it to the Iranians
03Buz4    55:16|were in the fortress, and it was punishment from the Lord
03Buz4    55:17|the next hour, [200] died and it happened that [500] people died on
03Buz4    55:29|stone upon stone. They left it desolated and barren of all
03Buz4    55:32|flock, take the shepherd. For it is impossible for the shepherd
03Buz4    55:34|demolished and dug through, overthrowing it to the foundations. From that
03Buz4    55:36|the city and dug through it
03Buz4    55:37|in Bagrewand, leading away from it [5000] Armenian households and [8000] Jewish households
03Buz4    55:39|the district of Tozb, burned it, pulled it down to its
03Buz4    55:39|of Tozb, burned it, pulled it down to its foundations and
03Buz4    55:39|its foundations and leading from it [5000] Armenian households and [18000] Jewish households
03Buz4    55:41|of this Jewry and settled it in the cities of Armenia
03Buz4    55:43|They took Naxchawan and demolished it as well. They took thence
03Buz4    55:48|the woman be affixed to it. Then he subjected the tikin
03Buz4    56:3|is a man of evil? It is clear from his hair
03Buz4    56:4|want to do, and do it. But as for the question
03Buz4    56:4|in turning white first, for it was at least fifteen years
03Buz4    58:10|there every day to see it, as though it were a
03Buz4    58:10|to see it, as though it were a miraculous phenomenon
03Buz5    1:6|land of Armenia, to save it from enemies, and that God
03Buz5    1:18|seized the country and held it forcibly
03Buz5    1:19|of Armenia and ruled over it. He took back all the
03Buz5    1:20|fortress, but could not take it. So, it remained until king
03Buz5    1:20|could not take it. So, it remained until king Pap came
03Buz5    1:27|the most goodly religion, as it had been in the days
03Buz5    4:7|Pap, king of the Armenians. It is appropriate for the Aryan
03Buz5    4:9|amazement if you can do it
03Buz5    4:38|For it was he who created everything
03Buz5    4:39|blame and judge; for now, it is not people who have
03Buz5    4:45|you commanded us, so that it would be good for us
03Buz5    4:49|useful to us, then multiply it, and if mercy pleases you
03Buz5    4:49|if mercy pleases you, grant it to us
03Buz5    4:50|Lord in heaven, so be it done, and with what rod
03Buz5    4:63|There was so much of it that there was no number
03Buz5    4:63|number or measure for describing it
03Buz5    5:0|the Armenians enjoyed because of it
03Buz5    5:25|frenzied brigade, the Mushegheans, for it seemed to me that flame
03Buz5    5:25|such in the brigade that it seemed as though fire was
03Buz5    6:7|extremely pleased inside, reasoning: “Now it will be simple for me
03Buz5    6:10|big that fold over fold it stretched down, to the point
03Buz5    6:14|lights. They led him through it, where there were shield-bearing
03Buz5    6:19|the head of the king. It was there that Dghak started
03Buz5    6:19|am worthy of death, but it befits him to slay me
03Buz5    6:20|on a spear, and erected it in the court concourse
03Buz5    7:5|the rest fled, chased out. It happened that the eunuch Drastamat
03Buz5    7:11|want, and I will grant it, without delay
03Buz5    7:22|fruit or delicacy, and plunged it into his own heart. He
03Buz5    7:23|the same knife and thrust it into his side. And he
03Buz5    13:3|of Aghuania and themselves, as it had been previously. He killed
03Buz5    19:1|the areas of districts surrounding it. For they too had rebelled
03Buz5    24:8|as for you, oh king, it befits you as a king
03Buz5    24:13|But he did not want it, and rejected it, saying: “For
03Buz5    24:13|not want it, and rejected it, saying: “For me it was
03Buz5    24:13|rejected it, saying: “For me it was a great thing that
03Buz5    24:14|you I said publicly, so it is fitting to be killed
03Buz5    24:24|took the body and buried it in the martyrs’ resting place
03Buz5    25:2|Nerses had died and that it was his spirit which had
03Buz5    25:3|place where he was buried. It was here that these two
03Buz5    26:5|tied the lion’s paw with it and cured it
03Buz5    26:5|paw with it and cured it
03Buz5    26:16|Shalita, but could not find it anywhere, because he had asked
03Buz5    26:16|he had asked God for it in advance, and his request
03Buz5    27:6|caught this fish and used it
03Buz5    27:8|rancid there, like bile, and it is bitter to this day
03Buz5    27:13|you look at her face; it is clear that you have
03Buz5    28:4|of God, but thought that it remained the same wine, so
03Buz5    28:5|bread and wine and put it on the altar where the
03Buz5    28:5|liturgy was served so that it would turn into blood, this
03Buz5    28:21|He brought water, sprinkled it on his lips; when he
03Buz5    28:23|himself a pit and in it for seven years he repented
03Buz5    32:19|one could say anything about it. Not a thing
03Buz5    33:3|Byzantine empire, and do as it says
03Buz5    33:4|else. Rather, they passed over it in silence
03Buz5    34:6|the land of Armenia, how it might be kept (made) to
03Buz5    35:7|Was it not that very Mushegh who
03Buz5    35:8|Was it not by Mushegh’s order and
03Buz5    35:9|It is fitting for him to
03Buz5    35:9|Armenia with cities and make it a military base inhabited by
03Buz5    35:22|Pap and ask him what it is
03Buz5    35:27|up his body and took it to his village
03Buz5    36:3|onto the torso and placed it on the roof of a
03Buz5    37:13|As they were travelling it happened that Manuel was unable
03Buz5    37:31|the spear and forcefully thrust it into general Manuel’s mouth
03Buz5    38:6|of red leather and on it the figure of an eagle
03Buz5    38:19|I have verified and confirmed it, and it is so
03Buz5    38:19|verified and confirmed it, and it is so
03Buz5    43:6|upon them. In this fashion it will be easy to grab
03Buz5    43:10|of the banak herd because it would bring attention to himself
03Buz5    43:18|herd. For God so had it that according to the preparedness
03Buz5    43:18|brigade to go hunting. Consequently, it happened that the whole herd
03Buz5    43:33|them put their minds to it and looked for Meruzhan. They
03Buz5    43:36|with his spear by thrusting it into his side, such that
03Buz5    43:46|shriek loudly, since they thought it was the head of Vahan’s
03Buz5    43:47|long spike, they realized that it belonged not to Samuel but
03Buz5    44:8|will not abandon you when it is so
03Buz5    44:14|For it would have been better if
03Buz5    44:20|He regarded it a bitter sin to lament
03Buz5    44:20|no one dared to do it. But after his death, stupid
03Buz5    44:20|stupid people dared to do it
03Buz6    1:7|decided upon peace. They thought it would be a good thing
03Buz6    1:8|It would be good to try
03Buz6    1:8|our midst. First, we divide it into two, under two Arsacid
03Buz6    6:4|from the wilderness and buried it at the bun village of
03Buz6    8:1|former patriarch Parhen - if, indeed, it is proper to style him
03Buz6    8:5|the horse he was astride, it was large, colored and swift
03Buz6    8:5|was astonished and he wanted it
03Buz6    8:30|Taking the water, he poured it on the man’s head, saying
03Buz6    9:10|It would be good if I
04Yegh1    1:14|living in their lifetimes as it were in gloomy darkness; their
04Yegh1    1:16|struck, they do not feel it; if they strike, they are
04Yegh1    1:20|impiety be hidden? But when it is revealed, look, and you
04Yegh1    1:23|will be fulfilled; and as it seems to us in our
04Yegh1    2:47|hid his intention; but, as it appeared to the wise, he
04Yegh2    1:3|knows death does not fear it
04Yegh2    1:6|It is better to be blind
04Yegh2    1:11|body and soul. Just as it is for a man, so
04Yegh2    1:11|is for a man, so it is for the whole world
04Yegh2    1:23|before anyone had blown on it, then he began to wound
04Yegh2    2:32|sun, offering sacrifices and calling it god, and serving the fire
04Yegh2    3:58|practiced their worship and increased it
04Yegh2    3:59|consolation to the effect that it was better for a man
04Yegh2    3:73|For where it was suitable to take up
04Yegh2    4:88|rule from Arhmn and gave it to Ormizd, saying to him
04Yegh2    5:101|not like to eat meat. ’It is right to marry,’
04Yegh2    5:101|to look at a woman. ’It is a great sin,’
04Yegh2    6:133|If you consider it reliable to hear our words
04Yegh2    6:134|But as for our religionit is not obscure nor is
04Yegh2    6:134|is not obscure nor is it preached in some corner of
04Yegh2    6:134|corner of the land, but it is spread throughout the whole
04Yegh2    6:134|world is densely filled with it
04Yegh2    6:135|It does not have its surety
04Yegh2    6:136|It does not appear sublime from
04Yegh2    6:136|others, but from heaven above it derives its infallible charter and
04Yegh2    6:145|But if it appears to you that anything
04Yegh2    6:148|good, the same became evil; it has occurred that he again
04Yegh2    6:149|king’s order is marked on it, whoever tears it receives death
04Yegh2    6:149|marked on it, whoever tears it receives death as punishment
04Yegh2    6:150|But is it then right to call the
04Yegh2    6:150|the king evil? Far from it; I say no. But by
04Yegh2    7:153|was born from a woman, it was not right for you
04Yegh2    7:157|pain, thenceforth is compassionate to it like a father
04Yegh2    7:159|the same nature. And since it was not from the foreign
04Yegh2    7:161|But it destroyed the creatures of the
04Yegh2    7:162|If this is so, it is not possible to call
04Yegh2    7:167|the fine earth and kneads it with the moisture of water
04Yegh2    7:171|in air and water, while it itself never appears alone
04Yegh2    7:172|of water is separate, yet it also exists in mixtures of
04Yegh2    8:177|If it is right to believe in
04Yegh2    8:177|down the law and gave it to him. He made known
04Yegh2    8:190|an evil one malevolent; for it is often the case that
04Yegh2    8:192|And if it is the case among men
04Yegh2    9:202|He did not think it any disgrace to put on
04Yegh2    9:203|gradually did he bestow on it the honor of immortality, as
04Yegh2    9:203|soul, and spirit, and united it to his divinitya unity
04Yegh2    9:215|if we were immortal and it was possible for us to
04Yegh2    9:215|for the love of Christ, it would be right to do
04Yegh2    9:217|indissolubly with Godfrom whom it is impossible to be divided
04Yegh2    9:218|they would remain true to it in life and death
04Yegh2    9:219|were they who on hearing it praised the answer
04Yegh2    10:246|It was the rule in former
04Yegh2    10:248|whole worldwide empire as if it would crash and scatter in
04Yegh2    11:258|side and note: “I consider it harm to receive into the
04Yegh2    11:261|the latter not god, but it is not even alive as
04Yegh2    11:263|But it is a gift of grace
04Yegh2    11:263|all rational peoples whose lot it is to dwell under the
04Yegh2    11:264|rock; powers below cannot shake it or powers above move it
04Yegh2    11:264|it or powers above move it
04Yegh2    12:285|to the holy church, that it may not be suddenly attacked
04Yegh3    1:14|It was they who were threatened
04Yegh3    1:14|own bodies as food for it. The outer darkness is being
04Yegh3    1:16|pit; why did you fill it in advance
04Yegh3    1:19|If only you knew and it was clear to you that
04Yegh3    2:29|or indicate their intention, but it was impossible to remain silent
04Yegh3    2:47|the earth to open that it might become their tomb
04Yegh3    2:50|to come to our aid, it would be impossible for the
04Yegh3    3:70|covenant of this church. For it is one thing what a
04Yegh3    3:73|were wise, and I knew it; but in this matter you
04Yegh3    3:74|Otherwise it would be assumed that you
04Yegh3    3:74|in agreement with them and it was at your advice that
04Yegh3    3:75|magism and those who accept it may be seen to have
04Yegh3    4:78|saw, and now we regret it greatly
04Yegh3    4:79|do what I say and it will seem good to you
04Yegh3    4:84|use force against this country it will be destroyed, and we
04Yegh3    5:111|before them all; he put it in writing, sealed it, and
04Yegh3    5:111|put it in writing, sealed it, and bound it to the
04Yegh3    5:111|writing, sealed it, and bound it to the Gospel. He begged
04Yegh3    5:111|the Gospel. He begged that it be left to God to
04Yegh3    5:111|and that they not take it upon themselves as men to
04Yegh3    5:122|may be alive in us; it is for him easy to
04Yegh3    6:126|Oḷakan, and its villages with it; Arpaneal, the town of Van
04Yegh3    6:126|Van, and its villages with it; Greal and Kapoyt, Orotn and
04Yegh3    6:133|the sign of the cross. It even happened that the walls
04Yegh3    7:153|But this ignoble man thought it better to preserve the pact
04Yegh3    7:156|to kill and to die. It is easy for God to
04Yegh3    8:184|love of you; but if it happens that we slaughter them
04Yegh3    8:185|the right wing, they threw it back onto the left. They
04Yegh3    9:217|enterprise as we have begun it
04Yegh3    10:230|select religion. But I consider it equal and on a par
04Yegh3    10:230|our Mazdean religion, just as it was respected in the time
04Yegh3    10:239|as follows: “Yes, noble king, it is just as you have
04Yegh3    11:253|in good faith, henceforth practice it even more so. But only
04Yegh3    11:262|our nature, and by uniting it with his indivisible divinity received
04Yegh4    1:7|It is unwillingly that I shall
04Yegh4    1:22|as armor, and became as it were a soldier fulfilling his
04Yegh4    2:41|falsely confusing matters for them; it was addressed to a man
04Yegh4    2:48|It pleased the Greek Empire to
04Yegh5    1:22|holy death, let us accept it with joyful heartsprovided only
04Yegh5    1:25|unable to help them, let it also be impossible that for
04Yegh5    2:34|heavenly beings would desire were it possible
04Yegh5    2:48|of the Maccabees, he read it out to them all, telling
04Yegh5    3:53|ditches, erected a rampart, surrounded it with a wooden palisade, and
04Yegh5    3:53|wooden palisade, and vigilantly fortified it like a city
04Yegh5    4:89|over everyone. With crystal purity it attracts the contemplation of those
04Yegh5    4:89|and holy sight; penetrating heaven it brings them close to the
04Yegh5    4:92|of this earth, we see it filled with all kinds of
04Yegh5    4:94|death but do not attain it, while there are many who
04Yegh5    4:94|are delighted when they find it
04Yegh5    5:106|himself did for the world. It seemed that he had died
04Yegh5    5:109|It is as if they had
04Yegh5    6:140|of the Persian army, throwing it back on the elephants; surrounding
04Yegh5    7:151|Since it was springtime the flowering meadows
04Yegh6    1:19|They considered it better to live like beasts
04Yegh6    3:59|they been able to fortify it, but then it had been
04Yegh6    3:59|to fortify it, but then it had been taken easily and
04Yegh6    3:67|just as he had heard it from their mouths
04Yegh6    3:69|the holy priests in bonds, it was two months and twenty
04Yegh6    5:101|addition to all this mischief it turned out that he had
04Yegh6    5:116|by great effort, he lost it all in a single year
04Yegh6    5:120|It seems to me that he
04Yegh6    6:149|began to sing spiritual hymns: “It is better to hope in
04Yegh6    6:149|than to hope in men. It is better to hope in
04Yegh6    7:156|any, he was to dig it out and give it as
04Yegh6    7:156|dig it out and give it as forfeit for himself and
04Yegh7    1:8|little earlier, and Bel as it were confirmed it, that Yazkert
04Yegh7    1:8|Bel as it were confirmed it, that Yazkert was marching on
04Yegh7    1:23|It seemed to him that he
04Yegh7    2:32|It is a long time that
04Yegh7    2:38|are not close to them, it is impossible for a mere
04Yegh7    2:46|and informed them as if it were great news
04Yegh7    2:50|this, and we even consider it to be a perfect favor
04Yegh7    3:61|It is I,” he said, “I
04Yegh7    4:93|saints had washed and threw it over his own body
04Yegh7    5:104|It was already a great thing
04Yegh7    5:110|Today it is the same Lord who
04Yegh7    5:119|Perhaps it was for my sake that
04Yegh7    5:123|When will it be that I shall leave
04Yegh7    5:123|and tiresome body? When will it be that I shall see
04Yegh7    5:124|When will it be that I shall be
04Yegh7    5:124|unafraid of death? When will it be that my ignorance will
04Yegh7    6:143|just as he had heard it from him
04Yegh7    6:146|worst of all for us, it was not some insignificant person
04Yegh7    6:147|will destroy our religion, shattering it from the foundations
04Yegh7    6:150|It was only a minor disgrace
04Yegh7    7:172|It seemed to the nobles that
04Yegh7    8:176|brought about by you; and it was because of your obstinacy
04Yegh7    8:198|handed liberality and impartial dispensation, it has been named the god
04Yegh7    8:198|named the god Mihr, for it has no deceit or incomprehension
04Yegh7    9:204|home like fire; and if it cannot come lest the world
04Yegh7    9:204|darkness, send the latter to it so it may learn from
04Yegh7    9:204|the latter to it so it may learn from the former
04Yegh7    9:204|learn from the former that it lacks nothing
04Yegh7    9:205|the expense of providing for it
04Yegh7    9:206|light of its rays diminishes. It grows cold in winter and
04Yegh7    9:206|of green grass; in summer it becomes hot and burns all
04Yegh7    9:210|It is part of the created
04Yegh7    9:210|half of which are above it, half below
04Yegh7    9:211|It is not holy in itself
04Yegh7    9:211|light, but as God’s command it spreads its rays through the
04Yegh7    9:211|things in the region below it
04Yegh7    9:212|vessel, and opening its mouth it pours it downward for the
04Yegh7    9:212|opening its mouth it pours it downward for the use and
04Yegh7    9:215|It is not right to call
04Yegh7    9:219|see Creation and understand that it was made by another and
04Yegh7    10:235|It is now my turn to
04Yegh7    10:245|I am being toward you. It is not at the king’s
04Yegh7    11:258|Likewise if it were on some jewel-bedecked
04Yegh7    11:259|task, how much more is it right for youwho hold
04Yegh7    11:260|of hell, whether you wish it or not you are diseased
04Yegh7    11:263|mislead us. That is impossible, it will never happen, and you
04Yegh7    11:263|happen, and you cannot bring it about
04Yegh7    11:272|from me, if you knew it before
04Yegh7    11:275|note: “I have heard that it was you who caused all
04Yegh7    12:284|destroy the earth so that it not bring forth grass; cut
04Yegh7    12:284|of the river so that it dies

04Yegh7    12:298|to be? Do you suppose it to be a creator or
04Yegh7    12:299|unison: ’We do not recognize it as a creator, nor as
04Yegh7    13:301|Even if we give it much nourishment, it is greatly

04Yegh7    13:301|we give none at all, it goes out completely. If we

04Yegh7    13:301|not come near at all, it turns to ashes

04Yegh8    1:21|an order and you carry it out through your servants
04Yegh8    1:22|more stubbornly than your teachers. It is clear that you are

04Yegh8    1:25|ears you would be insulting it. But by nature, it is
04Yegh8    1:25|insulting it. But by nature, it is without sensation, and you

04Yegh8    2:40|Only thus far was it ordered to punish you; as

04Yegh9    3:59|It would be better for me

04Yegh9    4:99|their yearly allowance and had it brought to them for consolation
05Parp1    3:3|in the starry sky. Around it, in rays, was the motto
05Parp1    3:7|Constantine’s city”, though some call it Paghat in Latin, which translates
05Parp1    3:11|May it not be so! To my
05Parp1    3:11|shamelessly put his hand to it and wrote what he pleased
05Parp1    3:11|incapable person, unable to do it properly, altered the work in
05Parp1    3:12|to all who look at it. Indeed, there are those among
05Parp1    4:1|of Armenia and so regarded it as most fitting and appropriate
05Parp2    6:7|life in a land where it is as if I am

05Parp2    7:7|one to turn again to it
05Parp2    8:2|going into captivity. He considered it better to go to the
05Parp2    9:5|Shapuh inimically threatened him. Perhaps it was because there was such
05Parp2    10:7|the Armenian language by which it would be possible to win
05Parp2    10:9|me and I shall correct it, for what you propose to
05Parp2    10:10|But first it would be worthwhile for us
05Parp2    10:10|he also told me about it
05Parp2    10:11|and delighted (them) by relating it
05Parp2    10:12|during your own reign, for it will benefit you later on
05Parp2    10:13|and, rejoicing, glorified God that it was during his reign that
05Parp2    10:17|So it was that after fortuitously receiving
05Parp2    10:22|But they hesitated when it came to (translating) the holy
05Parp2    11:5|kept you for this and it is a great task which
05Parp2    12:0|who was the Krman shah [or er Krman ark’ay] It was from this ruler that
05Parp2    12:5|had submitted (to Byzantine rule). It was possible that, like brothers
05Parp2    12:6|the addition (of the Armenians) it will be even worse, and
05Parp2    12:7|to our religion, and hate it, while they share faith and
05Parp2    13:1|of the king. We consider it better to die than to
05Parp2    13:2|day yet remaining silent about it. For we learned from you
05Parp2    13:4|today. I also know that it is with bitter hearts that
05Parp2    13:5|and everyone should think about it and implement it
05Parp2    13:5|think about it and implement it
05Parp2    13:7|you to support our plan. It is not fitting to be

05Parp2    14:2|the court grandees saw to it that the complaint reached Vahram
05Parp2    14:6|are saying about me. But it is their natural custom to
05Parp2    14:8|speak, and you listen to it from them. And may they
05Parp2    14:8|from me of slander, be it good or bad
05Parp2    14:11|what is good for you. It is not lightly that I

05Parp2    16:9|permitted the infidels to ridicule it

05Parp3    43:6|many days without anyone giving it any attention, until we took

05Parp4    64:23|me, only death can take it. (The king) does not dare
05Parp4    64:23|dare, because he cannot do it. I in no way fear

05Parp4    65:8|allow anyone else to do it or profit from it
05Parp4    65:8|do it or profit from it
05Parp4    66:6|and for us. For him, it would save him from his
05Parp4    66:6|his pangs of conscience, while it would free us from the
05Parp4    66:9|Vahan Mamikonean. When he heard it, he said to them all
05Parp4    66:10|Then I wishand it would have been preferable to
05Parp4    66:15|own deaths, for we consider it better to die in one
05Parp4    66:17|word that you can do it
05Parp4    66:20|Gospel, all of them hailed it. Placing their hands upon it
05Parp4    66:20|it. Placing their hands upon it, each of them note: “Whoever
05Parp4    67:8|brigade to the Armenians, but it has not arrived yet. They
05Parp4    67:9|will be exhausted and regret it
05Parp4    68:17|and those with you hear it, you will certainly regard such
05Parp4    68:19|there was no doubt of it, he replied to those who
05Parp4    68:19|to state the message, hear it, and decide what is fitting
05Parp4    68:19|and necessary to do about it
05Parp4    68:23|are strengthened and beat them, it is fine and good. But
05Parp4    69:7|It was then that Garjoyl Maxaz
05Parp4    69:9|It was there that the marzpan
05Parp4    69:11|But it was Hrahat, son of the
05Parp4    70:3|well, and need not learn it from anyone. You have also
05Parp4    70:4|Cleaning the grain, he puts it in the heavenly grainaries, and
05Parp4    70:15|bring the collar; you fasten it around his neck
05Parp4    71:14|Bashgh Vahewuni was, they put it to flight
05Parp4    72:1|doubted its substance and thought it was not real
05Parp4    72:5|It was then that the God
05Parp4    72:6|Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in
05Parp4    73:3|that I could not resist it, I fled to the Armenian
05Parp4    73:5|Huns shall destroy them. But it seems to me that when
05Parp4    73:9|of the plains and made it appear that the lights of
05Parp4    73:10|But if we see that it is indeed the case, then
05Parp4    73:12|The Armenian brigade, since it had made an oath with
05Parp4    73:12|out everything he said (be it true or false) because of
05Parp4    73:20|and sepuhs of Armenia, saying: “It is good that we are
05Parp4    73:20|if we had to postpone it by yet another day, the
05Parp4    75:2|about two hrasax distant from it at a village named Mkarhinch’
05Parp4    75:9|and throw their exerement on it, and they revile both the
05Parp4    75:14|nationality. But as you know, it was only the Armenians who
05Parp4    75:14|Aryans saw and heard about. It was accomplished not with many
05Parp4    75:15|of any superior bravery. Rather, it was that we were troubled
05Parp4    75:16|if I had control of it, as my ancestors did, and
05Parp4    75:22|if I found no favor, it was important to me that
05Parp4    75:23|wanted to kill myself. Unfortunately, it is impossible to kill only
05Parp4    75:27|and indeed you can do it—first and foremost let him
05Parp4    75:28|licentious talk. You should have it put in writing and sealed
05Parp4    75:28|audacity,” and you should pardon it. You should keep the highborn
05Parp4    75:29|rebelled are ready to do it again. For we knew that
05Parp4    76:16|I be able to buy it and live, because of the
05Parp4    76:16|poverty, and purchase (life). But it would be extremely stupid to
05Parp4    76:17|I now hold, and regard it as good and honorable. I
05Parp4    77:18|his crown before he received it. And before the end I
05Parp4    77:20|It appears that others saw the
05Parp4    77:22|will return ashamed and regretting it
05Parp4    78:0|When it was the blooming time of
05Parp4    80:13|heap of ashes and giving it to one of our maid
05Parp4    80:14|a sign; test and examine it well. For if we bear
05Parp4    83:4|hits the mark both times, it is laudable and honorable. However
05Parp4    83:6|For it was the holy Spirit which
05Parp4    83:7|no more than [4,000], to judge it by sight
05Parp4    83:8|God’s name and always confess it, for eternity
05Parp4    83:12|In other words, (he thought) it was possible to give way
05Parp4    83:17|entire Iranian brigade as though it was merely a torrential rain
05Parp4    84:4|Thinking it over, I fear that in
05Parp4    84:6|Gods’ assistance settled his affairs, it is time to return to
05Parp4    85:4|sort of a death was it
05Parp4    85:5|useful information from emissaries. However, it is very difficult for me
05Parp4    85:6|brings death and destruction, nonetheless, it is necessary to say what
05Parp4    86:4|Now, was it not Peroz’ unseeing and contemptuous
05Parp4    88:6|replied: “Brave of the Aryans, it seems that Vahan was triumphant
05Parp4    88:9|and now are here testify) it is very difficult to say
05Parp4    88:10|who upon hearing can believe it
05Parp4    88:11|deed that all who observed it recall it today and probably
05Parp4    88:11|all who observed it recall it today and probably fear of
05Parp4    88:11|today and probably fear of it will not depart
05Parp4    88:12|and scythes chopping grass, putting it in many heaps close to
05Parp4    88:14|to look at them. For it seemed to all of us
05Parp4    88:22|But it seems that Vahan would not
05Parp4    89:4|have dedicated our livesthat it is impossible to deal with
05Parp4    89:7|they do not agree to it, and become (more) severe, we
05Parp4    89:8|fearlessly. This is good, and it is our first demand
05Parp4    89:10|correct. But if you like it otherwise, as is the case
05Parp4    89:17|three demands, and know that it is impossible, then just as
05Parp4    90:10|princes, and as He wills it, so He has them speak
05Parp4    90:12|they have relayed all of it to me, and that I
05Parp4    90:17|keepers said to them: “If it is only the fact that
05Parp4    91:7|have fashioned. From now on it is very necessary for you
05Parp4    91:8|servant, and then, without learning it from you, it seems I
05Parp4    91:8|without learning it from you, it seems I (will) know the
05Parp4    91:8|I am so forgetful, since it has not been so many
05Parp4    91:20|how you dared to plot it, let alone effect it, you
05Parp4    91:20|plot it, let alone effect it, you reply that you were
05Parp4    91:21|For a brave man it is better that he live
05Parp4    92:0|naxarars with him, and replied: “It is easy for forward-looking
05Parp4    92:1|over the land and renew it as is happening now, it
05Parp4    92:1|it as is happening now, it seems to me and everyone
05Parp4    92:4|from stupid, deserving from undeserving, it was sufficient and full
05Parp4    92:8|It is known by everyone and
05Parp4    92:8|their craft and benefit from it, want to teach the same
05Parp4    92:9|of that, not recognizing that it was your instruction that created

05Parp4    92:17|quick mind with verbosity, nonetheless it is impossible not to mention
05Parp4    93:15|ones. Now they wanted, if it were possible, to purchase even
05Parp4    93:15|the name of rebellion, but it was not given to them
05Parp4    93:17|It was then at the atean
05Parp4    93:17|in the Gospel were realized: “It is not you speaking, but
05Parp4    93:20|Without this it is impossible for us to
05Parp4    93:20|and essential to us; confirm it with the king’s seal. It
05Parp4    93:20|it with the king’s seal. It is unnecessary to elaborate on
05Parp4    93:20|since you know all of it
05Parp4    94:0|said all this, Nixor heard it all and enthusiastically consented
05Parp4    94:1|saying: “Quickly organize and dispatch it to court, for Peroz’ son
05Parp4    94:2|this matter successfully and benevolently. It is appropriate and fitting that
05Parp4    94:7|rooted in the true faith, it was a sign resembling the
05Parp4    94:9|organized the Armenian cavalry, entrusting it to Vren Vanandac’i, and sent
05Parp4    94:9|to Vren Vanandac’i, and sent it to court. Among those sent
05Parp4    94:11|reputation and (the news of it) reached the ears of king
05Parp4    95:5|When one servant is lost, it is usually possible to replace
05Parp4    95:6|our laws do not command it
05Parp4    95:7|doing, but were incapable of it. For unlike you, they were
05Parp4    95:9|of the entire multitude, saying: “It is improper to speak at
05Parp4    95:11|As you described it, your brother Peroz’ will and
05Parp4    95:13|thoughtfully revere and love, for it seems laughable and we do

05Parp4    95:20|and settles the matter with it
05Parp4    95:22|from your service, then confirm it for us in writing and

05Parp4    96:8|a mortal to have done it
05Parp4    96:9|and ruined land, you righted it
05Parp4    96:10|and raised me up from it, I would like my entire
05Parp4    96:12|lord Vahan Mamikonean note: “Were it possible for you to grant
05Parp4    98:1|involved himself in, even though it be very difficult, the Lord
05Parp4    98:2|Mamikoneans, and thinking all of it over, Andekan was secretly astonished
05Parp4    98:6|openly state before you that it would be most inappropriate for
05Parp4    98:8|Armenia, (he would find that) it is a large land; in
05Parp4    98:10|the lord of the Aryans, it will not be a small

05Parp4    99:1|of the marzpanate they presented it to Vahan, Armenia’s general and
05Parp4    100:1|the [70] palm trees [Exodus 15:27; Numbers 33:9]. The Savior, it says, appointed another [70], whom he

06Khor1    3:3|Chaldaeans, Assyrians, Egyptians, and Hellenes. It is indeed to the wisdom
06Khor1    3:3|that we aspire. So, then it is clear to us all
06Khor1    3:6|But then someone might say: it was because there was no
06Khor1    3:8|But it seems to me that nowadays
06Khor1    3:9|Therefore it is superfluous for us to
06Khor1    3:13|the church and Christians, considering it superfluous to repeat the fables
06Khor1    4:2|of all mankind, or if it seems better to someone to

06Khor1    7:8|own history-whence and how it developed
06Khor1    8:3|this land of Armenia, thinking it convenient in this way to
06Khor1    9:5|the cults for the temples. It is not clear which is

06Khor1    15:17|As far as concerns Ara it will suffice to record this
06Khor1    16:2|side of the land because it was summertime and she wished
06Khor1    16:4|setting sun. To the north it sloped a little, but to
06Khor1    16:4|little, but to the south it looked up sheer to heaven
06Khor1    16:4|in the vertical rock. From it on the south there opened

06Khor1    16:11|over many stadia and brought it to the place designated for
06Khor1    16:18|the various wonderful constructions on it, many men cannot comprehend nor
06Khor1    16:18|men cannot comprehend nor is it possible to describe them
06Khor1    16:20|we are unwilling to include it in our history. But we

06Khor1    19:3|men will praise or criticize it is of no import to
06Khor1    20:9|From him on, it is not according to tribe
06Khor1    20:10|survive to our own time. It truly reads as follows: “Put
06Khor1    21:7|But it would be too much if
06Khor1    22:5|Therefore it is right for us now
06Khor1    22:5|for such matters we considered it right that we ourselves should

06Khor2    7:19|I do not know if it was because the former race
06Khor2    8:20|this tale is too much - it is the tale of all
06Khor2    8:29|Ardzn and the district around it, and the Taurus Mountain, that
06Khor2    8:32|the Goḷt’nets’i, I have found it said that they are truly

06Khor2    9:2|blood of snakes, and implanted it deep into the stone column

06Khor2    13:17|had inquired and learned what it was that he had cried
06Khor2    14:10|in that they had taken it upon themselves to set up
06Khor2    14:13|statue of Barshamin, he embellished it with ivory, crystal, and silver
06Khor2    14:13|and silver. He ordered that it should be brought and set
06Khor2    18:6|with magnificent buildings and named it Caesarea in honor of Caesar
06Khor2    19:14|if the times should change it would be impossible for him
06Khor2    24:7|him, he undertook to give it to Arsham
06Khor2    26:10|and opposed them, saying that it was the emperor’s command that
06Khor2    27:4|protected the Euphrates from Cassius; it was called Edessa. And he

06Khor2    27:6|for our account, yet because it was the descendants of King

06Khor2    31:6|small and pleasant city, and it is sufficient for us both
06Khor2    32:2|having seen me. For thus it is written concerning me: ’Those
06Khor2    33:5|When Abgar heard it, he note: “This is he

06Khor2    33:29|senate. But the senate rejected it because the matter had not
06Khor2    33:29|not been previously investigated by it
06Khor2    33:34|ridiculous. For according to them it is by the scrutiny of
06Khor2    33:35|God; and on this reasoning it is right for men to
06Khor2    33:36|But may it please you, my lord, to
06Khor2    33:42|him his fault. And if it is your wish you may

06Khor2    36:3|by an earthquake, he demolished it and rebuilt it even more
06Khor2    36:3|he demolished it and rebuilt it even more magnificently, fortifying it
06Khor2    36:3|it even more magnificently, fortifying it with a double wall and
06Khor2    36:8|as we understand the matter it happened like this: a white
06Khor2    36:11|Abgar and Sanatruk and placed it in the archive in Edessa
06Khor2    37:11|It seemed that the murder of

06Khor2    62:8|But when it was divided according to their
06Khor2    63:5|death reached him; on hearing it he stopped there

06Khor2    81:10|king of China, saying: “May it not displease you that I
06Khor2    81:11|agreed to make peace. So, it is clear that the Chinese
06Khor2    81:12|of all varieties of fruits; it is adorned with beautiful plants
06Khor2    81:12|in saffron, peacocks, and silk. It has untold numbers of gazelles

06Khor2    85:5|his left hand and draw it to himself with a violent
06Khor2    86:3|preaching of Christ’s gospel. Hearing it with pleasure he repeated it
06Khor2    86:3|it with pleasure he repeated it to his nobles with praise
06Khor2    86:5|It happened in those days that
06Khor2    86:10|mornings from their roofs, for it faced them. But if anyone
06Khor2    86:11|of the city, separated from it by a very small river
06Khor2    86:12|And all the people worshipped it in the mornings from their
06Khor2    86:13|more than a few despised it on the grounds that their

06Khor2    86:14|as the wooden cross, and it stood over it with twelve
06Khor2    86:14|cross, and it stood over it with twelve stars. At this
06Khor2    86:14|everyone believed and they worshipped it
06Khor2    86:15|of healing were performed by it
06Khor2    86:16|the world and all in it - or to speak more truly
06Khor2    87:10|But Kamsar, considering it difficult to live in enmity
06Khor2    88:3|the same happened here also. It is impossible for the leopard
06Khor2    88:6|would not remain silent about it, he gathered an army to
06Khor2    88:11|Thinking it unnecessary to return to Rome
06Khor2    88:12|It contained no such undertakings of
06Khor2    88:12|so-called Strategion - for in it he stored the war materiel

06Khor2    90:9|his own name, because previously it was called Eraskhadzor
06Khor2    91:4|But let us explain why it is calledCaves of Manē
06Khor2    91:12|province of Ekeḷeats’ and laid it to rest in T’il, his
06Khor2    91:16|It was indeed fitting that they
06Khor2    92:2|and author of our salvation. It has pleased the Holy Spirit
06Khor3    1:3|one may seem attracted to it because of its rhetoric, but
06Khor3    4:2|As we find it said in the divine histories
06Khor3    4:4|of this and reflected on it, they gathered together in the
06Khor3    8:2|made peace with him, considering it sufficient to rule over the
06Khor3    8:4|hunting birds and other game. It was for this reason that
06Khor3    8:5|Duin in Persian; in translation it meanshill
06Khor3    9:3|of Vaḷarshapat set siege to it
06Khor3    9:6|a lance the felt turned it aside
06Khor3    10:2|him the special tribute, giving it instead to the emperor. And
06Khor3    10:6|our country since he considered it to be leaderless
06Khor3    13:4|the Persian army, and dispersed it. Offering his services, he brought
06Khor3    13:7|demons with him. He ordered it to be set up in
06Khor3    13:8|Tiran agreed and brought it back, unaware that by deceit
06Khor3    14:3|But Saint Yusik snatched it from the king’s hands, and
06Khor3    14:3|the king’s hands, and throwing it to the ground, trampled on
06Khor3    14:3|to the ground, trampled on it and broke it to pieces
06Khor3    14:3|trampled on it and broke it to pieces, warning the king
06Khor3    15:8|Persians say of us that it was by force and not
06Khor3    18:2|his plans, he, Shapuh thought it appropriate by acting benevolently to
06Khor3    22:9|my uncle on whose account it occurred
06Khor3    22:11|For it was the custom only for
06Khor3    23:10|this command and immediately carried it out, not so much because
06Khor3    23:11|plain of Aḷiovit and buried it in the royal city of
06Khor3    24:3|the Great also learned of it; he cursed Arshak and the
06Khor3    24:5|in those who heard of it
06Khor3    24:6|remedy of life and give it to Olympias, Arshak’s first wife
06Khor3    26:3|governor of the city, ordered it to be defended against Shapuh
06Khor3    27:7|all the royal treasures in it, even the bones of the
06Khor3    28:3|of Tigranakert and shout threats, it is the mark of valiant
06Khor3    28:3|in an unimpeded spot, while it is the mark of women
06Khor3    29:17|did not myself come with it; rather I preserved fidelity toward
06Khor3    29:17|ruined our country and took it captive, even digging up the
06Khor3    30:4|an uninhabited island and broke it to pieces. The sailors were
06Khor3    33:3|temple of Damascus and made it into a church, and did
06Khor3    35:6|they were unable to take it because of its impenetrable defenses
06Khor3    36:2|army under Mehrujan and dispatched it to Armenia, entrusting the land
06Khor3    36:7|Greek, on the pretext that it was to prevent the Armenians
06Khor3    36:7|the Greeks. But in reality, it was to destroy the teaching
06Khor3    37:11|accoutred. One could see as it were a wall: most of
06Khor3    37:18|turning the detachment around put it to flight
06Khor3    37:22|like a crown, and making it red hot note: “I crown
06Khor3    37:22|be king of Armenia; and it is my privilege as aspet
06Khor3    37:23|And while it was still red hot, he
06Khor3    37:23|still red hot, he placed it on Mehrujan’s head, and thus
06Khor3    38:6|removed his body and buried it in the town of T’il
06Khor3    41:4|our land and ruled over it after violent battles against the
06Khor3    42:5|but because he thought that it was better to rule over
06Khor3    42:14|or fraud and will keep it irrevocably
06Khor3    44:3|disturbed the land and kept it in turmoil
06Khor3    44:6|robbery with great enthusiasm, and it seemed to them a reasonable
06Khor3    45:5|go inside, and that thus it should be let down from
06Khor3    45:6|harm because the brambles kept it well away
06Khor3    47:7|when he was not present, it was unintelligible to the people
06Khor3    48:2|king over them and considering it difficult to be without a
06Khor3    48:9|contract into writing and confirm it with the seal of the
06Khor3    48:9|the cross: when we see it, we shall hasten to your
06Khor3    48:17|from the Greek governors, be it by waging war against the
06Khor3    49:2|promising that he would keep it prosperous and they would pay
06Khor3    49:7|him even more anxious for it. After many efforts and no
06Khor3    51:4|king of kings, remembering that it was for such things that
06Khor3    51:7|sinned had themselves died for it
06Khor3    51:10|in the royal treasury, stamping it with his own image; and
06Khor3    52:3|Mesopotamia to pacify and organize it and make a reckoning of
06Khor3    52:9|before, they returned and gave it to Sahak the Great and
06Khor3    52:10|to them, they realized that it was not possible through these
06Khor3    54:2|sector of Armenia but held it himself through governors; he also
06Khor3    55:9|It happened once that in hot
06Khor3    55:11|He replied: “You proceed, for it is the mark of demons

06Khor3    63:8|For if it were before a Christian king

06Khor3    64:5|his for rebellion. But if it is because of his immoral
06Khor3    64:10|But it was not more than a
06Khor3    65:2|Kukayarich to ask that if it did not please him Vṙam
06Khor3    65:7|the pagan audience to comprehend it
06Khor3    65:9|However he did not accept it, saying to his kinsman of
06Khor3    65:9|fashion for the future as it was established by Artashir and
06Khor3    65:12|to this and ordered that it all be done; and reestablishing

07Seb1    42:30|their hands because they surrounded it with smoke. By means of
07Seb1    42:31|camped in the same encampment. It was the [20th] of the month
07Seb1    43:1|Holy of Holies, they rebuilt it with base and construction as
07Seb1    44:5|It happened in the first year
07Seb1    44:8|thick wings were plucked, and it was exterminated from the earth
07Seb1    44:9|extermination of devilish idolatry: ’And it stood as on the feet
07Seb1    44:9|of a man was given it.’And behold the second
07Seb1    44:9|was like a bear, and it stood to one side’, to
07Seb1    44:10|flesh of many’, just as it ate, as all know. ’Now
07Seb1    44:10|wings of a bird on it, and the beast had four
07Seb1    44:10|and its claws of bronze. It ate and broke in pieces
07Seb1    44:11|than all (other) kingdoms; and it will consume the whole earth
07Seb1    44:14|patriarch stood up and note: ’It is inappropriate and wrong to
07Seb1    44:19|he was greatly troubled, because it had not been by his
07Seb1    44:24|fortresses of the country. Then it became known that he had
07Seb1    44:28|took his body and brought it for burial beside his father
07Seb1    44:30|but were unable to take it
07Seb1    44:31|They came to Ordspu, and it too they were unable to
07Seb1    45:2|killed, Ot’man and Ogbay, and it was a great victory for
07Seb1    45:4|Ałuank’, taking booty and prisoners. It moved on to Nakhchawan to
07Seb1    45:4|they were unable to take it. They did take the fortress
07Seb1    45:6|was terrified, and he reckoned it better to give tribute and
07Seb1    45:7|that he should go with it to Damascus to meet Muawiya
07Seb1    45:9|honour to which he dedicated it. He brought water, directed (a
07Seb1    45:13|Tome. When they had heard it, they did not agree to
07Seb1    46:17|with distinction like the latter? It is clear that we must
07Seb1    46:18|body. But the Godhead, if it is not in every place
07Seb1    46:18|cannot be or cause whatever it wishes, what sort of divinity
07Seb1    46:18|what sort of divinity is it?
07Seb1    46:21|they realized the conformity with it of the faith of Armenia
07Seb1    46:23|how much the more is it right for us to enjoy
07Seb1    46:23|and God-loving rule that it remain unmoved forever, like the
07Seb1    46:25|unworthy servants, when we saw it we offered obeisance and with
07Seb1    46:27|is very awesome, as indeed it must be with regard to
07Seb1    46:28|Now it is clear that he is
07Seb1    46:30|in his catholic (epistle), saying: ’It is he who came with
07Seb1    46:30|with blood and water. And it is the Spirit which bears
07Seb1    46:35|What is this ’he condemned’? It means that ’he restrained the
07Seb1    46:36|the flesh is man, yet it is also God. So those

07Seb1    46:41|but as we have received it from the holy apostles through
07Seb1    46:61|son, and did not reckon it a dishonour for the deity
07Seb1    46:63|And thousands of Jews erected it. ’And the Lord among them
07Seb1    46:64|we distribute with great discretion, it is as follows. We do
07Seb1    46:68|days from approaching a woman it was allowed to enter the
07Seb1    46:69|how much the more is it right for us to carry
07Seb1    46:69|just, not even one’ - yet it would not be right through
07Seb1    46:70|the prophet worthy to taste it. But only by bringing it
07Seb1    46:70|it. But only by bringing it close to his lips did
07Seb1    46:71|So then would it be right for the impure
07Seb1    46:73|we shall not deviate from it, neither to the right nor
07Seb1    46:74|they were unable to extirpate it
07Seb1    46:75|for the heresy of Eutyches, it was in a manner! similar
07Seb1    46:76|support for their heresy. On it they established their own enormity
07Seb1    46:77|They said it is unworthy and impossible to
07Seb1    46:78|according to his flesh, then it would be impossible for a
07Seb1    46:78|forth God made man. And it would be impossible for that
07Seb1    46:82|men, king Constans, we reckoned it best through this declaration to
07Seb1    47:4|’Like a tempest it shall run from the south
07Seb1    47:4|the land, trampled and smote it

07Seb1    49:6|princes; and they had given it to him to preserve in
07Seb1    49:13|a council and summoned to it all the bishops. He had
07Seb1    49:13|concerning the faith, and sealed it with his own ring, and
07Seb1    49:19|of winter had passed and it was near to the great
07Seb1    50:11|wind whirled around over them; it crashed and roared like the
07Seb1    50:14|the Greeks defeated them, and it fled to Aruastan pillaging Fourth
07Seb1    50:15|took up quarters at Dvin. It was planning to put Iberia
07Seb1    50:15|put Iberia to the sword. It parleyed with them in a
07Seb1    50:20|nor mercy from above; but it was as if one might
07Seb1    52:4|It was the days of piercing
07Seb1    52:4|fortress in order to pillage it too. The general of the
07Seb1    52:23|For even if it was fulfilled earlier in those
07Seb1    52:23|later (times) down to eternity it will be fulfilled according to
07Seb1    52:23|he says, ’from my anger; it will burn down and descend
07Seb1    52:25|iron and its claws bronze. It ate and tore in pieces
07Seb1    52:25|in pieces, and the remnants it trampled underfoot,’ and so
08Ghev1    1:6|the sword and death to it. Now put on your armor
08Ghev1    3:15|about which I narrated earlier, it took its spoil and captives
08Ghev1    4:5|shall exterminate your House, (removing it) from the (other) clans of
08Ghev1    5:2|his realm, and placed in it the icon of the life
08Ghev1    5:2|West, naming the church after it Amenap’rkich’Savior of All
08Ghev1    5:3|own tail, and they called it a comet. It became a
08Ghev1    5:3|they called it a comet. It became a symbol of (the
08Ghev1    7:1|scabbard until he had plunged it into our land
08Ghev1    7:10|ditch where they had thrown it. Immediately they began piling up
08Ghev1    8:11|mass and those worthy of it communed in the Lord’s body
08Ghev1    8:11|Lord’s body and blood, regarding it as their last rites
08Ghev1    8:15|escaped the sword fell through it into the depths to drown
08Ghev1    8:26|mercy, nor shall we show it to you
08Ghev1    8:28|spoil from the fallen, divided it up amongst themselves, and departed
08Ghev1    9:13|the blessed patriarch and laid it to rest in a grave
08Ghev1    10:23|of the Armenians and pacified it by stopping all the unjust
08Ghev1    10:23|all the unjust attacks upon it, severely rebuking and subduing the
08Ghev1    10:24|larger than before and fortified it with gates and locks, and
08Ghev1    10:24|gates and locks, and surrounded it with a moat filled with
08Ghev1    10:24|and now I shall rebuild it. I was a twelve-year
08Ghev1    11:3|to this letter; rather, do it immediately
08Ghev1    11:5|response of this sort: “Could it be that you are mightier
08Ghev1    11:5|time until now? How is it that the king of Babylon
08Ghev1    11:6|leash of lust. Because of it, you expressed your wicked desires
08Ghev1    11:6|have come with you. Could it be that there are no
08Ghev1    11:7|of kings, I will give it to you. Then you can
08Ghev1    11:12|swords to work seeing to it that no one survived to
08Ghev1    12:2|sons of Ishmael will demolish it and rebuild it once more
08Ghev1    12:2|will demolish it and rebuild it once more with funds from
08Ghev1    13:3|Below, briefly, we shall summarize it
08Ghev1    13:6|tell me truly, why was it that Jesus and His disciples
08Ghev1    13:6|returned the same? Why is it that you have not been
08Ghev1    13:8|Children of Israel who read it and understood it, and that
08Ghev1    13:8|who read it and understood it, and that it was many
08Ghev1    13:8|and understood it, and that it was many times lost, so
08Ghev1    13:8|time there was nothing of it remaining among them, till at
08Ghev1    13:8|later period some men recomposed it out of their own heads
08Ghev1    13:8|own heads. You admit that it was handed down from generation
08Ghev1    13:9|Why is it, that in the Mosaic Code
08Ghev1    13:9|of the resurrection or judgment? It is the evangelists Matthew, Mark
08Ghev1    13:10|Is it not true that Jesus, speaking
08Ghev1    13:12|Is it possible that God could have
08Ghev1    14:1|arguments) you advance against us? It is God Himself who commands
08Ghev1    14:2|the least appearance of truthfulness, it is incumbent (on us) to
08Ghev1    14:4|to heretics, for fear of it being turned into ridicule, and
08Ghev1    14:5|It is true that we have
08Ghev1    14:5|again if need be, but it has always been about mundane
08Ghev1    14:6|Muhammad, and these writings make it unnecessary for us to involve
08Ghev1    14:7|marvelous as ours, hearken, if it please you, and in hearkening
08Ghev1    14:8|It is truly difficult, let me
08Ghev1    14:8|only of obstinately persisting in it. Let me explain it to
08Ghev1    14:8|in it. Let me explain it to you this way. Suppose
08Ghev1    14:8|spirit of contradiction, says that it is a spring of water
08Ghev1    14:9|world and you shall quit it naked”, whereas we do not
08Ghev1    14:9|upon death. On the contrary it was the just Job who
08Ghev1    14:10|It is this way that you
08Ghev1    14:10|to your opinions, and employ it in your defense
08Ghev1    14:11|mouths of the Prophets. Furthermore, it is by the grace and
08Ghev1    14:11|Christianity has been preached, after it was founded, propagated and believed
08Ghev1    14:11|was founded, propagated and believed. It is by these words that
08Ghev1    14:11|is by these words that it will still prosper by the
08Ghev1    14:13|It would be expedient for you
08Ghev1    14:19|Consequently, it is not surprising that the
08Ghev1    14:20|pronounced by men, but because it was the Word of God
08Ghev1    14:21|falsification of these writings, if it is the head of your
08Ghev1    14:21|has forgotten himself, and if it is some other, he has
08Ghev1    14:23|We know that it was Abraham who earlier received
08Ghev1    14:23|the mission of Christ, and it was to him that God
08Ghev1    14:24|until he comes to whom it belongs; and to him shall
08Ghev1    14:28|sons of Israel who read it and were knowledgeable of it
08Ghev1    14:28|it and were knowledgeable of it?” Again, “After many years of
08Ghev1    14:29|while those who did it, human beings as they were
08Ghev1    14:29|opinions, pretending to draw from it all that follows, stating: “That
08Ghev1    14:30|himself on a lie, and it is a lie to adopt
08Ghev1    14:31|When we say that it was the Hebrews who composed
08Ghev1    14:31|to say that they produced it out of their imagination, but
08Ghev1    14:31|imagination, but that they wrote it based on the faith of
08Ghev1    14:33|It is by the inspiration of
08Ghev1    14:37|eliminate the rest, because thus it would have been much easier
08Ghev1    14:40|the flesh, so how could it be that, the temple, the
08Ghev1    14:41|the object of proving that it was He Himself who had
08Ghev1    14:43|Daniel prophesied in Babylon, for it was there that he was
08Ghev1    14:44|There it was also that the events
08Ghev1    14:44|taken place, yet he announces it in an unmistakable manner in
08Ghev1    14:45|work of God, for when it was compared with the edition
08Ghev1    14:46|exposed to faults of memory.” It is true that every man
08Ghev1    14:46|exempt from forgetfulness and conjectures, it is He who speaks through
08Ghev1    14:56|rather have us declare that it was written by God and
08Ghev1    14:56|Furqan, although we know that it was ’Umar, Abu Turab, and
08Ghev1    14:56|deceitfully publicized that God sent it down from the heavens
08Ghev1    14:57|hindered us from removing from it the names of the evangelists
08Ghev1    14:57|evangelists, or from adding that it was God who sent it
08Ghev1    14:57|it was God who sent it down from the heavens
08Ghev1    14:58|way of sending them Prophets. It is for this reason that
08Ghev1    14:59|I repeat, it was for this reason that
08Ghev1    14:66|According to your own people, it has been a hundred years
08Ghev1    14:69|sovereign, pontiff and executioner, would it be astonishing that the Christian
08Ghev1    14:69|that the Christian faith, were it the invention of some human
08Ghev1    14:70|Yet it is now eight hundred years
08Ghev1    14:70|divergence among Christians is found, it is because of the differences
08Ghev1    14:71|as one sees among you. It would appear that, among the
08Ghev1    14:73|In any case it is nothing strange that Christians
08Ghev1    14:76|ever dared to act so, it would have been impossible for
08Ghev1    14:78|the word ’Father’, you replace it with ’Lord’, or sometimes with
08Ghev1    14:80|It is very difficult indeed for
08Ghev1    14:82|Do you believe that it is to angels, who dare
08Ghev1    14:82|futile. To whom then could it be that God is addressing
08Ghev1    14:83|you, and then answer to it. Although the sun is one
08Ghev1    14:83|and the rays emanate from it, yet the sun is one
08Ghev1    14:85|in the Holy Scriptures; as it is, you give highest consideration
08Ghev1    14:87|ours, which, as long as it has not proceeded from our
08Ghev1    14:87|others), and as soon as it has gone out, decomposes and
08Ghev1    14:88|It is this Word which Scriptures
08Ghev1    14:90|It is evident that Adam was
08Ghev1    14:90|but do you believe that it was his material body full
08Ghev1    14:90|image? Never. On the contrary, it was his soul, reason and
08Ghev1    14:97|And it will so be that whoever
08Ghev1    14:97|die from among his people.” [Deut. 18:15, 18-19]. It is true that since the
08Ghev1    14:105|and not to revolt against it, as it really happened, lest
08Ghev1    14:105|to revolt against it, as it really happened, lest strangers, that
08Ghev1    14:108|shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the chief Moab
08Ghev1    14:108|well how, in precise fashion, it indicates the future domination He
08Ghev1    14:109|you want to know what it means for Him to rule
08Ghev1    14:109|Him to rule all nations, it means that all peoples must
08Ghev1    14:116|desperately corrupt; who can understand it? O Lord, the hope of
08Ghev1    14:119|over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with
08Ghev1    14:119|establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness
08Ghev1    14:120|Now it is well known that (Jesus
08Ghev1    14:121|of David? And how is it eternal and as the days
08Ghev1    14:121|the days of the heavens? It is the celestial kingdom of
08Ghev1    14:121|son of David, of whom it was announced: “(Of the increase
08Ghev1    14:121|over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with
08Ghev1    14:121|establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness
08Ghev1    14:122|It is evident from this passage
08Ghev1    14:124|through Zechariah God note: “If it seems right to you, give
08Ghev1    14:125|you wish and will find it such as we have presented
08Ghev1    14:125|such as we have presented it to you
08Ghev1    14:132|Is it that you have forgotten, though
08Ghev1    14:132|you are hardly aware of it, the tremendous imposture credited by
08Ghev1    14:137|It is you who wants to
08Ghev1    14:139|He was really man, since it is necessary to believe that
08Ghev1    14:141|I have power to lay it down, and I have power
08Ghev1    14:141|I have power to take it again
08Ghev1    14:142|the wordFatheryou change it, replacing it either by the
08Ghev1    14:142|Fatheryou change it, replacing it either by the wordLord
08Ghev1    14:143|you put no faith in it. That passage is this: “He
08Ghev1    14:143|meaning of this is that it is not in His human
08Ghev1    14:147|by the voice, proved that it was He alone to whom
08Ghev1    14:148|Lord) as a mere man. It seems that it is only
08Ghev1    14:148|mere man. It seems that it is only the truth that
08Ghev1    14:149|according to your supposition, is it an incredible thing that a
08Ghev1    14:154|We have not modified anything; it was the Lord Himself who
08Ghev1    14:158|pretend that we have replaced it by baptism. The mystery of
08Ghev1    14:159|precept of circumcision only that it might serve as a sign
08Ghev1    14:159|this institution), you cannot know it, as observed above
08Ghev1    14:161|for circumcision by only ridiculing it to the end. In the
08Ghev1    14:162|the divine institution of Baptism, it was announced to us by
08Ghev1    14:165|light, and there was light.” [Gen. 1:3]. It was on the same day
08Ghev1    14:167|the Prophets of the Lord? It was for you and such
08Ghev1    14:168|in these terms: “How is it possible for God to dwell
08Ghev1    14:169|the earth, and the animals, it appears occupy a superior place
08Ghev1    14:172|His image, would not think it shameful to take man’s image
08Ghev1    14:174|It is you alone who consider
08Ghev1    14:175|all other created things, for it is of holy men that
08Ghev1    14:176|It is clearly to be seen
08Ghev1    14:176|which you call filthiness, since it befits the ever-living to
08Ghev1    14:177|suffered death in His cause? It is of (these) martyrs that
08Ghev1    14:180|whose corpse, as soon as it was cast into the tomb
08Ghev1    14:182|yourself under eternal death, as it has been predicted by our
08Ghev1    14:183|It is thus that Muhammad, your

08Ghev1    14:190|abolish it, but also called it the dwelling of Abraham. I
08Ghev1    14:193|in a single day. As it is, they are able to
08Ghev1    14:194|affair with women, as if it were a matter of tilling
08Ghev1    14:195|wife, as you remind me, it is well known that therein
08Ghev1    14:196|sin to be such as it is, and that is what
08Ghev1    14:197|not to say anything, were it possible, about the shamelessness with
08Ghev1    14:198|It is said that the serpent
08Ghev1    14:205|It is then true that Satan
08Ghev1    14:206|the maritime desert indicates that it is your desert which is
08Ghev1    14:208|destined to save the universe. It is this disobedience of the
08Ghev1    14:210|It was then the enemy who
08Ghev1    14:211|drawing you into his error. It is thus that he has
08Ghev1    14:215|your pleasures to any good, it is precisely for that reason
08Ghev1    14:215|heaven of no account if it is not peopled with women
08Ghev1    14:218|His countenance. Should He will it, (we are prepared to suffer
08Ghev1    14:219|God alone knows; but surely it was not because their religion
08Ghev1    15:0|Ishmaelites. When the latter read it, he was overcome by shame
08Ghev1    16:1|the rock of faith. As it happened he was unable to
08Ghev1    16:1|and instead was crushed by it
08Ghev1    19:7|and cities of that country. It is said that the number
08Ghev1    19:9|slaves and equippage, he divided it among his troops. For the
08Ghev1    20:0|than the previous bodyentrusted it to general Maslama, and sent
08Ghev1    20:0|to general Maslama, and sent it against Byzantium
08Ghev1    20:4|that you reject us? Could it be that you have not
08Ghev1    20:6|Haghia) Sophia, I will turn it into a bath house for
08Ghev1    20:11|verse and many others like it did he pour forth before
08Ghev1    20:14|live by our swords. Rather, it is the right hand of
08Ghev1    20:14|impudence, the way you do. It has never entered your mind
08Ghev1    20:15|That is because it was not due to the
08Ghev1    20:17|It was the wand of Moses
08Ghev1    20:19|trap, as was fitting. For it was the Lord Who hardened
08Ghev1    20:23|Cross to pay honor to it
08Ghev1    20:24|of the Lord’s Cross upon it
08Ghev1    20:30|to my own errors. Since it has entered your heart to
08Ghev1    22:2|captives and loot and sent it to their caliph Hisham, relating
08Ghev1    24:4|resumed the fight and prolonged it. But then Marwan beat the
08Ghev1    24:7|It was here that the prophecy
08Ghev1    24:8|the house of Haz’ael, and it shall devour the strongholds of
08Ghev1    24:9|It is certainly worth pondering why
08Ghev1    24:10|It seems to me that this
08Ghev1    24:11|source of all good things. It was this that irrevocably transformed
08Ghev1    25:7|Now it happened that at the very
08Ghev1    25:10|bad seed. That is how it was in this case
08Ghev1    26:2|foolish scheme. Quite the contrary, it is a devious plan and
08Ghev1    26:3|It will bring only trouble and
08Ghev1    26:3|and let us not do it. Instead let us pay taxes
08Ghev1    26:7|Now it happened that all the sons
08Ghev1    26:11|of our entire land, consigning it to a shadowy darkness and
08Ghev1    27:1|Now it happened that while Marwan still
08Ghev1    27:6|the royal treasury, and distributed it to his troops. Surrounding himself
08Ghev1    27:9|slaughtered them so severely that it was said that some [300,000] cavalry
08Ghev1    30:4|It was there that Hamazasp was

08Ghev1    32:6|to save his life. But it did no good, for he

08Ghev1    33:7|For as we noted earlier, it was the Lord who hardened
08Ghev1    34:1|Nonetheless they considered it better to die bravely than
08Ghev1    34:20|on the Saracens’ brigade, and it did not dare sally forth
08Ghev1    34:25|Smbat, Ashot’s son, into believing it
08Ghev1    34:29|They besieged it with walls and throughout the
08Ghev1    34:29|entire winter they battled against it. They erected towers and punched
08Ghev1    34:33|slaughtered a lion as though it were a goat’s kid
08Ghev1    34:35|If it pleases you, accept my advice
08Ghev1    34:37|Quite the contrary, they regarded it as treasonous since they were
08Ghev1    34:38|districts looking for food, took it, and returned to their keeps
08Ghev1    34:42|land of the Armenians, reaching it via the Syrian areas
08Ghev1    34:47|village of Arch’e’sh to destroy it to its foundations and to

08Ghev1    39:10|to their caliph claiming that it was not the will of
08Ghev1    40:13|their martyrdom would be completed. It was the blessed, glorious day
08Ghev1    40:14|faith and their enthusiasm for it, he did not repeat the
08Ghev1    40:16|or making any audible sound. It was only in his heart
08Ghev1    41:4|that they could not endure it. For even if they gave
08Ghev1    41:4|gave all that they possessed, it was not enough to save
08Ghev1    41:6|onerous level of taxation, but it was of no avail. For

08Ghev1    43:2|his legitimate funds to reproduce it. I beseech you to remember
09Draskh1    1:5|of the poets and make it look ridiculous to the readers
09Draskh1    1:26|every thing that is in it
09Draskh1    1:27|to see these, henceforth, if it pleases you, let me set
09Draskh1    2:7|the Ashkenazian army and called it the House of Togarmah; for
09Draskh1    2:16|yet they did not consider it worthy to set out in
09Draskh1    3:8|place of residence. He built it magnificently with blocks of sandstone
09Draskh1    3:8|blocks of sandstone, and named it Armawir

09Draskh1    5:1|narrated by certain others, if it is a must for you

09Draskh1    5:20|into a rock, and left it there to be observed as
09Draskh1    6:3|son of Nek’tanib, and fortified it with extensive bastions. Having annexed
09Draskh1    6:3|city to Armenia, Mithridates adorned it, calling it a border town

09Draskh1    10:5|elder brother Vrt’anes, even as it pleased the Holy Spirit

09Draskh1    11:10|under his feet and destroyed it
09Draskh1    12:12|our country as well, since it was altogether invested with nine
09Draskh1    12:17|Valens did not even consider it worth seeing the holy man
09Draskh1    13:4|of a crown and exposing it to sparkling flames, he placed
09Draskh1    13:4|to sparkling flames, he placed it on his head and thus
09Draskh1    14:18|Far be it from me,” he said, “to

09Draskh1    20:9|earth. To the south of it he built his palace on
09Draskh1    20:9|of the rocks, so that it covered the edge like a
09Draskh1    20:10|And then, encircling it with a wall built with
09Draskh1    20:10|with lime mortar, he set it up as his place of
09Draskh1    20:11|place of residence, and set it as a domicile for the

09Draskh1    24:3|It was then that he noticed
09Draskh1    24:15|It happened as he had predicted
09Draskh1    24:18|perchance available, you will find it adequately treated by our predecessor
09Draskh1    24:28|And it was thus that (the katholikosate
09Draskh1    25:2|his wife’s prerogatives, and occupied it as his own select portion
09Draskh1    25:4|the following message): “Why is it that for filthy lucre’s sake
09Draskh1    25:11|holy patriarchate, where he had it buried in a grave near
09Draskh1    26:20|their orders, as he deemed it better to die with Christ
09Draskh1    26:21|who asked he answered that it was impossible for him to
09Draskh1    27:1|Henceforth, if it should please you, when narrating
09Draskh1    27:2|For it does not seem expedient to
09Draskh1    28:5|obediently and wisely and through it he brought all of his
09Draskh1    30:6|in a coffin and brought it to the town (awan) of
09Draskh1    30:11|unwarranted and unaccountable, and that it might be a cause for
09Draskh1    30:17|solemn contract accordingly, he handed it over to the great patriarch
09Draskh1    30:24|of Atrpatakan and along with it he was given robes wrought
09Draskh1    30:29|charges against the katholikos, that it would be better for you
09Draskh1    30:38|the anathema pronounced on me it was entirely just and deserved
09Draskh1    30:40|not see this done; for it is impossible to identify a
09Draskh1    30:40|to identify a transgression, as (it is impossible to trace) the
09Draskh1    30:41|of such a misdeed, should it occur
09Draskh1    30:49|could turn me away be it by fear of Hades or
09Draskh1    30:50|laws inscribed by God, wherein it is written, that those things
09Draskh1    30:51|so much that they stole it from us, and having changed
09Draskh1    30:51|the words, they allegorically set it forth as their own. Certainly
09Draskh1    30:54|the chosen of God. Is it for this reason, that the
09Draskh1    30:55|Do not make trouble, as it is hard for you to
09Draskh1    30:56|there be a meeting, let it not be the assembly of
09Draskh1    30:56|of the Lord, but let it be like that congregation which
09Draskh1    30:61|do not be afraid, for it is not new that the
09Draskh1    30:61|blessed, and scheme to rebut it through the knavery of the
09Draskh1    30:62|the edge of the sword. It was the zeal of the
09Draskh1    30:63|It was the violent passion of
09Draskh1    30:64|It was the rage of Judas
09Draskh1    31:6|anger for no reason? If it is because of the alliance
09Draskh1    32:2|It also demolished and destroyed the
09Draskh1    32:5|As it was not possible to bury
09Draskh1    32:17|Consequently, (you should not consider) it tragic, if death, to which
09Draskh1    32:22|the people having heard of it through hearsay consoled themselves greatly
09Draskh1    32:23|spoke to one another thus: “It was just that Christians confounded
09Draskh1    33:22|fulfill the amount demanded, handed it over to the ostikan to
09Draskh1    33:24|of the reasonable sheep return, it was filled with great joy
09Draskh1    34:8|was displeased with this, since it was contrary to his will
09Draskh1    34:15|Hoghs on the pretext that it would be advantageous for them
09Draskh1    34:21|and have the porters pick it up and turn on their
09Draskh1    34:21|troops noticed this, they considered it true and all did the
09Draskh1    36:1|brought his body and buried it in the cemetery of Dzoroy
09Draskh1    37:25|the vanquisher, andwhose will it is that all men should
09Draskh1    38:14|receiving the fortress, I handed it over to the prince. Subsequently
09Draskh1    39:9|the Axurean River, and decorating it with many valuable vessels, he
09Draskh1    39:10|tried very hard to bring it to completion with God’s will
09Draskh1    40:7|message, and being happy with it, Smbat responded to the secretary’s
09Draskh1    42:1|the court and having cast it off to be trampled in
09Draskh1    43:13|would spread in whatever direction it might find combustible material, and
09Draskh1    45:11|people of Ashkenaz, as if it were night. Putting our laborious
09Draskh1    45:15|view of these events, that it is incapable of helping me
09Draskh1    46:7|the sparapet Ashot, who sent it to be buried in the
09Draskh1    46:9|with tears and lamentations. For it was because of our sins
09Draskh1    46:10|manner certain azats, about whom it is not proper for me
09Draskh1    46:19|grief-bearing ladies on whom it remained affixed in the likeness
09Draskh1    46:20|and having devoured the multitudes, it caused tears to be shed
09Draskh1    47:9|order to besiege and seize it. The latter came to the
09Draskh1    47:9|and for several days attacked it, but could not do any
09Draskh1    47:9|not do any harm to it
09Draskh1    48:4|Be that as it may, king Smbat had taken
09Draskh1    48:6|the cunning prince’s entreaties, because it was in a state of
09Draskh1    48:18|able to get hold of it. Secretly devising wicked snares, he
09Draskh1    49:3|to eradicate, destroy and devastate it, for the pious princesses, the
09Draskh1    49:9|king his towel and forcing it into his mouth, pushed it
09Draskh1    49:9|it into his mouth, pushed it down his throat by means
09Draskh1    49:15|Be that as it may, let us leave these
09Draskh1    50:6|It was then, that the great
09Draskh1    51:19|fastened in holes, so that it was impossible for them either
09Draskh1    52:6|your land in your presence; it is made desolate, and overthrown
09Draskh1    52:9|we witnessed; on the contrary it was the exact opposite. For
09Draskh1    53:6|pleasant and beneficial, whereas now it is useless, and tempestuous, and
09Draskh1    53:8|we stored anything at all, it was given to others
09Draskh1    53:21|them ate the wheat before it was crushed and kneaded, while
09Draskh1    53:22|If they found any food, it was through labor, and the
09Draskh1    53:32|rapacious beasts became accustomed to it and the numbers of the
09Draskh1    54:3|of the wicked, we deplore it with deep personal grief, and
09Draskh1    54:5|Now, if it seems proper to your Holiness
09Draskh1    54:5|your Holiness, first of all, it is necessary to call upon
09Draskh1    54:10|holy men, and see to it that they attend to the
09Draskh1    54:14|And as it befits your Holiness, you may
09Draskh1    54:16|read this, and having embraced it with the love of Christ
09Draskh1    54:33|afflictions that came upon us. It is about us who are
09Draskh1    54:37|an adulterer with dissolute passion, it dared to fall upon the
09Draskh1    54:45|sword that slaughters multitudes. For it brought death to all through
09Draskh1    54:45|its insidious breath; for some it lay snares in secret by
09Draskh1    54:45|destructive and deadly drugs, and it consumed the rest with blazing
09Draskh1    54:55|which I willingly confronted, make it necessary for me to boast
09Draskh1    54:65|It is for this very reason
09Draskh1    55:10|It was for this reason that
09Draskh1    55:23|Be that as it may, as long as the
09Draskh1    56:5|It was at this time, that
09Draskh1    57:14|It was at that time, that
09Draskh1    58:8|Be that as it may, king Ashot, the son
09Draskh1    59:11|Ashot honored them greatly, as it was befitting for kings, and
09Draskh1    59:17|Be that as it may, Vasak, the hereditary lord
09Draskh1    59:18|from the king and handed it over to Vasak. Subsequently, the
09Draskh1    60:4|Be that as it may, the splendid and the
09Draskh1    60:8|did not wish to surrender it
09Draskh1    60:14|they agreed to pay for it twice as much as the
09Draskh1    60:17|set his own garrison in it
09Draskh1    60:18|of his realm. And as it was near the time of
09Draskh1    60:18|with scythes, and had given it to the raging fire, lest
09Draskh1    60:23|of the envoy, he considered it perhaps not worthy of an
09Draskh1    60:28|On the other hand, if it was the prince who refused
09Draskh1    62:4|fortress, asked Vasak to turn it over to him
09Draskh1    62:5|the fortress refused to hand it over until he had restored
09Draskh1    63:21|It seems to me that he
09Draskh1    63:21|his arrogant will (on people). It was perhaps for this reason
09Draskh1    64:1|if possible, so far as it lies (with you), live at
09Draskh1    64:13|of his coming, he anticipated it by forcing all the people
09Draskh1    65:2|he considered himself deprived because it was ruled by his brother
09Draskh1    65:13|of the night disappeared, and it was dawn, suddenly, at the
09Draskh1    65:14|the phenomenon, (and realizing) that it was not the time for
09Draskh1    65:20|aware of this idea considered it to be the proper course
09Draskh1    66:2|It is not fitting for you
09Draskh1    66:19|On the following morning, when it was still dark, all the
09Draskh1    66:21|this temporary life, as if it were eternal. Subsequently, the Lord
09Draskh1    66:28|inheritance and people, and called it His Body and His Part
09Draskh1    66:55|out to come to us. It was he who narrated to
09Draskh1    66:63|hearts to go to heaven: “It is not lawful for us
09Draskh1    67:13|tried to take vengeance for it by marching directly upon the
09Draskh1    67:13|an unexpected attack, and damage it somehow
09Draskh1    67:20|that he would see to it, to the best of his
09Draskh1    67:21|But, be that as it may, at this time, the
09Draskh1    67:27|by its inhabitants, he seized it and took possession of it
09Draskh1    67:27|it and took possession of it without any difficulty; he also
09Draskh1    68:14|you lest by confiding in it you might become negligent of
09Draskh1    68:14|and knowledge, what good will it do to the sons as
09Draskh1    68:17|not considering yourselves worthy of it
10Tovma1    1:0|It is (only) with great effort
10Tovma1    1:5|to Sem’s lot, Nebrot’ seized it for himself by force and
10Tovma1    1:6|why do they say that it was a long time later
10Tovma1    1:7|It seems to me that it
10Tovma1    1:7|It seems to me that it is not appropriate cursorily to
10Tovma1    1:7|enquiry. (Rather we should) expound it in toto and write down
10Tovma1    1:11|through his wife Shamiram, since it was not the custom for
10Tovma1    1:13|as I mentioned above. For it was not the custom to
10Tovma1    1:23|in the East men inhabited it, rather than speaking of a
10Tovma1    1:23|a western paradise or of it somewhere in between. Its unlimited
10Tovma1    1:24|man with sovereign authority (over it) and gave him paradise to
10Tovma1    1:24|were as but a day. It had no need of a
10Tovma1    1:24|foreign source of light whereby it might become dark on the
10Tovma1    1:25|any deficiencies of the incorruptible; it was but a very little
10Tovma1    1:25|for (Scripture) saying: “to till it and keep it,” this was
10Tovma1    1:25|to till it and keep it,” this was not as if
10Tovma1    1:25|of paradise or to guard it from harm, but rather it
10Tovma1    1:25|it from harm, but rather it means to work righteousness and
10Tovma1    1:26|camp of the murderer. So it is now appropriate to call
10Tovma1    1:31|land (of Eden) and exchanged it for this laborious and painful
10Tovma1    1:34|for righteous judgment, then likewise it will be accompanied by mercy
10Tovma1    1:34|evolve into harm, or will it seem of a single kind
10Tovma1    1:34|sacrifice) but do not divide it aright, you have sinned
10Tovma1    1:38|Fourthly, because (it was) a brother and not
10Tovma1    1:45|all the saints received as it were a paternal inheritance, like
10Tovma1    1:52|multifarious crimes they worked on it
10Tovma1    1:60|spiritual prophecy. After the flood it was commanded: eat meat, like
10Tovma1    1:66|in building the ark, if it is most appropriate to say
10Tovma1    1:66|fear his commandswhy should it seem unbelievable that they too
10Tovma1    1:70|the middle of the earth; it came to rest on the
10Tovma1    1:71|the rainbow. Some say that it is fire emerging from cloud
10Tovma1    1:71|who worship the elements (say it is) the belt of Aramazd
10Tovma1    1:72|orders to Aramazd, how is it that Aramazd is deprived of
10Tovma1    1:72|no further on their fables. It is not fire emerging from
10Tovma1    1:72|fire emerging from cloud, otherwise it would have to be visible
10Tovma1    1:72|at night. But in reality, it is rays of the sun
10Tovma1    1:72|and compact moist clouds. Since it did not occur in the
10Tovma1    1:72|not occur in the beginning, it is said to have come
10Tovma1    1:75|a double name. Ham seized it from the sons of Sem
10Tovma1    1:75|the sons of Sem, and it was built up as a
10Tovma1    2:3|his earlier deeds and placed it in a bronze vessel fastened
10Tovma1    2:8|in days to come. So it is (now) the appropriate time
10Tovma1    2:10|up his image, to worship it as god and offer it
10Tovma1    2:10|it as god and offer it sacrifices. This was the origin
10Tovma1    2:12|to the cult of demons. It is appropriate to liken them
10Tovma1    3:14|Seeing a bull, he stole it and led it aside. He
10Tovma1    3:14|he stole it and led it aside. He sacrificed it, piling
10Tovma1    3:14|led it aside. He sacrificed it, piling up stones over it
10Tovma1    3:14|it, piling up stones over it, and waited for evening in
10Tovma1    3:15|himself with food but found it bad and spoiled; for lizards
10Tovma1    3:16|nonsense he also legislated. And it was not for frivolous reasons
10Tovma1    3:17|and gave a part (of it) to mankind. And earth is
10Tovma1    3:17|host to the god Spandaramet; it was not created by anyone
10Tovma1    3:17|created by anyone, but as it now appears, so it (always
10Tovma1    3:17|as it now appears, so it (always) was and remains; and
10Tovma1    3:20|summit of the mountain, as it is close to the heavens
10Tovma1    3:21|appearance; and in the daytime (it is covered with) a very
10Tovma1    3:21|Of this they said that it was the foreign unknown land
10Tovma1    3:22|about Origen’s view. Nor is it distant, as some suppose who
10Tovma1    3:23|the drops of dew (on it) had an incomparable sweetness
10Tovma1    3:30|had spoken through the birds.” It is most appropriate in this
10Tovma1    3:33|from god, granted part of it to mankind, and kept most
10Tovma1    3:33|mankind, and kept most of it for himself. And they say
10Tovma1    3:34|sun, which is Hephaistos, saying it is part of a god
10Tovma1    3:34|of a god, how is it that the thief and weak
10Tovma1    3:34|a god? For sparks of it are produced by striking stone
10Tovma1    3:35|the substance of fire beside it, from the burning ray of
10Tovma1    3:37|the face of God. Hence it was necessary first that they
10Tovma1    3:38|and other such (bodies). And it is clear that they are
10Tovma1    3:38|and if by another, then it is someone who moves the
10Tovma1    3:39|is one and the same, it is clear that it is
10Tovma1    3:39|same, it is clear that it is moved by a single
10Tovma1    3:39|not by many. For if it was moved by many, its
10Tovma1    3:39|the heaven is eternally moving, it is clear that he who
10Tovma1    3:39|clear that he who moves it has limitless power. For if
10Tovma1    3:40|Whence it is clear that he is
10Tovma1    3:40|continuously and regularly. From this it is clear that he is
10Tovma1    3:41|So, then it is clear according to this
10Tovma1    4:2|all eastern Persia and subjected it to tax, (ruling) with peaceful
10Tovma1    4:5|Armenia in war she subjected it; and on her return she
10Tovma1    4:35|It lasted for [259] years; but according
10Tovma1    4:36|from the earlier kings found it appropriate, as a period of
10Tovma1    4:40|Jerusalem in order to blockade it. By God’s command his army
10Tovma1    6:2|but we considered it sufficient merely to set down
10Tovma1    6:28|he did not dare reveal it to Alexander. For Alexander had
10Tovma1    6:30|they lived ignoble lives, as it were illegitimately, down to Cyrus
10Tovma1    6:35|philosophically minded, nonetheless, for me it is more pleasing to place
10Tovma1    6:38|with accuracy. Then they placed it carefully in the archival treasure
10Tovma1    6:44|the Bagratunik’ and the Artsrunik’. It took place in the eighteenth
10Tovma1    6:46|So it is a great pleasure for
10Tovma1    6:52|in detail yet briefly, for it is not the occasion for
10Tovma1    6:56|the torments of Christ. And it was the sixteenth year of
10Tovma1    6:60|Claudius, in order to distribute it to orphans and widows as
10Tovma1    7:11|foot of a small hill. It was near the edge of
10Tovma1    7:12|called for the reason that it contains many treasures in its
10Tovma1    8:2|As it pleased him, he built a
10Tovma1    8:2|they jumped in and out; it looked across to the great
10Tovma1    8:5|around the rock so that it was secure and inaccessible to
10Tovma1    8:5|inaccessible to attackers. He set it out with delightful precision, bringing
10Tovma1    8:6|hollow centre; on top of it he set the image of
10Tovma1    8:6|cult of the idols. In it (the city) he arranged bustling
10Tovma1    8:15|principality, to cultivate and inhabit it, and pass on the land
10Tovma1    9:5|But we considered it merely sufficient to present the
10Tovma1    10:9|there should be occasion for it anywhere. He governed according to
10Tovma1    10:15|great priest Daniel, so was it meted out to him. He
10Tovma1    10:20|And I did not consider it important to write down what
10Tovma1    10:21|in these deep forests. If it pleases you, let us go
10Tovma1    10:22|motion of his powerful fingers. It pierced the malicious one’s heart
10Tovma1    10:28|each other. But I consider it superfluous to repeat the accounts
10Tovma1    10:34|in her bosom and brought it to rest in the martyrium
10Tovma1    10:34|Saint Nersēs. Then they transferred it to the place which is
10Tovma1    10:48|a circular spit (-iron) until it was red-hot, he set
10Tovma1    10:48|was red-hot, he set it on the head of the
10Tovma1    11:2|all forms of vice which it is not pleasing to repeat
10Tovma1    11:3|precede the cortège, and laid it to rest in the place
10Tovma1    11:11|the region of Mesopotamia, thinking it better to submit to a
10Tovma1    11:13|own line and religion. Let it not seem hard for you
10Tovma1    11:19|Artashir the Persian, thinking that it was (inspired) by the great
10Tovma1    11:25|garrison of troops to guard (it) and resist Persian attacks
10Tovma1    11:26|rule over the whole of it
10Tovma1    11:43|the king (to appoint) whomever it might please him. So he
10Tovma1    11:44|plunged into confusion and turbulence; it remained disunited and full of
10Tovma1    11:45|It happened that on Saint Sahak’s
10Tovma1    11:49|from the house of Armenia. It had lasted [415] years before being
10Tovma1    11:56|and great general of Armenia. It is reliably confirmed by the
10Tovma2    1:12|all the rest. I consider it superfluous to repeat what has
10Tovma2    2:8|that the teacher had composed it in that fashion. Elsewhere I
10Tovma2    2:14|why did you not think it necessary to summon anyone from
10Tovma2    2:16|danger befell them to endure it just as they had endured
10Tovma2    2:16|took the letter and laid it before the emperor. Then he
10Tovma2    2:21|It happened in those times that
10Tovma2    2:22|multitude of their forces. God it is who crushes warriors; battle
10Tovma2    2:24|Persian army. The latter thought it all a joke
10Tovma2    3:8|But now let it please you to abandon these
10Tovma2    3:9|of the Aryan kingdom that it will be too much for
10Tovma2    3:9|But having received and read it, they did not respond to
10Tovma2    3:11|from God and he gives it to whomever he wishes. But
10Tovma2    3:16|It happened in the fourteenth year
10Tovma2    3:18|from his enemy, so may it please you to make peace

10Tovma2    3:22|It was on the nineteenth day
10Tovma2    3:22|For three days they put it to the sword, killing every
10Tovma2    3:24|show them the place where it had been hidden. They took
10Tovma2    3:24|had been hidden. They took it off into captivity and also
10Tovma2    3:30|Let him not try, because it has been established by God
10Tovma2    3:30|been established by God and it is impossible to destroy it
10Tovma2    3:30|it is impossible to destroy it. But if it so pleases
10Tovma2    3:30|to destroy it. But if it so pleases God, God’s will
10Tovma2    3:31|or not, God has taken it from us and delivered it
10Tovma2    3:31|it from us and delivered it into your hands. If he
10Tovma2    3:42|received the letter he ordered it to be read before the
10Tovma2    3:44|Shirak. Reaching Dvin he sacked it, and also Nakhchavan and Ormi
10Tovma2    3:44|Gandzak in Atrpatakan, he destroyed it; he plundered Hamadan and May
10Tovma2    3:57|King Khosrov knowing anything about it. Then they made his son
10Tovma2    3:67|the cross; when I find it I shall have it brought
10Tovma2    3:67|find it I shall have it brought to you
10Tovma2    3:69|received God. He searched for it with great diligence until they
10Tovma2    3:69|they were able to find it in its original wrapping, and
10Tovma2    3:69|original wrapping, and he gave it to the men who had
10Tovma2    3:69|for that purpose). On receiving it they immediately departed. Heraclius gave
10Tovma2    3:70|and heavenly treasure, and brought it to the holy city of
10Tovma2    4:2|of Madiam and dwelt in it
10Tovma2    4:5|It happened that one of them
10Tovma2    4:8|all the other things which it is not necessary to mention
10Tovma2    4:9|It happened one day when he
10Tovma2    4:11|by you? If you repeat it again you will be condemning
10Tovma2    4:14|So, one could say that it was by a command of
10Tovma2    4:17|Abraham and his seed, and it was in their possession for
10Tovma2    4:17|their wicked deeds and gave it into your hands, let the
10Tovma2    4:17|the period you have held it suffice for you. Now we
10Tovma2    4:17|peacefully, otherwise we shall take it by warand not only
10Tovma2    4:18|He (Theodore) wished to show it to the king, but Heraclius
10Tovma2    4:25|a composite book, some of it from accurate memory, other parts

10Tovma2    4:28|down for his nation, calling it the Quran

10Tovma2    6:31|tearful sighing, moaning and imploring: “It is Ashot who has wrought

10Tovma3    4:41|mass, a single man as it were, or a high rock
10Tovma3    4:59|and whistling of the bowstrings it seemed as if fire was
10Tovma3    4:61|part in the battle, for it was a spiritual battle and
10Tovma3    4:65|Armenians took strength, and when it lessened they had a little
10Tovma3    5:1|yet they could not hide it and keep it concealed
10Tovma3    5:1|not hide it and keep it concealed
10Tovma3    5:11|a letter taken to Gurgēn; it had been written by Bugha

10Tovma3    6:3|I am forced to set it out in order, briefly and
10Tovma3    6:3|history of these events, for it is impossible to pass over

10Tovma3    6:14|the Lord may command, let it be

10Tovma3    6:21|empire and of your leader it is written that the witness
10Tovma3    6:27|kings, we did not reckon it appropriate to repeat them
10Tovma3    6:29|He sent word that: “It is not the custom for

10Tovma3    27:6|crushed into pieces, they brought it to the general and washed
10Tovma3    27:7|each one’s position, and covered it with pure silver more splendidly
10Tovma3    28:6|wished should be done. So it was openly, but the secret
10Tovma3    28:10|of Berkri. These had taken it from the Ginuni family descended
10Tovma3    28:10|of Vaspurakan. So he restored it to the people of Berkri
10Tovma3    29:8|took his body and buried it in Ałbag in the village
10Tovma3    29:9|It would be appropriate to extend
10Tovma3    29:28|of God, Mary, and embellished it with very valuable vessels. In
10Tovma3    29:28|with very valuable vessels. In it he also placed the cross
10Tovma3    29:29|soldier Saint Gēorge. He adorned it with similar embellishment, with a
10Tovma3    29:30|the Lord at Golgotha. Above it he constructed a church (dedicated
10Tovma3    29:34|out of the rock, so it could run from the summit
10Tovma3    29:40|rood with pearls; he fitted it into sweet-smelling wood, leaving
10Tovma3    29:48|which is most ridiculous. And it is plainly clear without doubt
10Tovma3    29:48|and flesh of the Word, it would be even more ridiculous
10Tovma3    29:61|It happened, after the great battle
10Tovma3    29:62|human race plan to destroy it, but rather bring extermination upon
10Tovma3    29:65|crown: if in that battle it should happen that he be
10Tovma3    29:78|land in order to destroy it completely
10Tovma3    29:79|of Zhangan. These said that it was not right to do
10Tovma4    1:3|His ancestors had striven for it, but without success
10Tovma4    1:5|able to recall mention of it, or what had happened to
10Tovma4    1:5|or what had happened to it over many centuries. Likewise (he
10Tovma4    1:23|of our soldiers dared cross it, admitting their faintheartedness and the
10Tovma4    1:45|unattainable height of heaven, as it moves through its vault casting
10Tovma4    1:53|Here it would please me to describe
10Tovma4    3:8|It was God, as I suppose
10Tovma4    3:10|with the power of God. It was preserved unextinguished from the
10Tovma4    3:14|But since it is no longer the time
10Tovma4    3:41|Since it was wintertime, when there was
10Tovma4    3:44|informed by messengers. They besieged it for a few days, then
10Tovma4    4:21|still up to that time it was swarming with men of

10Tovma4    4:39|the fortress, he then sold it again to Prince Gagik, receiving
10Tovma4    4:64|me is amazing to hear; it far surpasses my own history
10Tovma4    4:64|has ever heard tell of it or seen it, to be
10Tovma4    4:64|tell of it or seen it, to be able to reveal
10Tovma4    4:64|Armenia. I do not reckon it too audacious to repeat a
10Tovma4    4:65|impregnable (castle) Dariunk’, he took it by stealth at night, being
10Tovma4    4:72|preaching of the saintsor, it would be better for me
10Tovma4    4:75|land encounter such bounty, and it is impossible to imagine that
10Tovma4    4:75|imagine that in the future (it will see his like) after

10Tovma4    7:1|a most splendid task, leaving it as a memorial to those
10Tovma4    7:3|reading: “An avaricious man considers it preferable to be decapitated than
10Tovma4    7:3|God the provider, he addresses it: “Why instead of your light

10Tovma4    8:4|wall around (the island), as it were five stadia

10Tovma4    8:11|pure mortar and stone, as it were a fusion of lead
10Tovma4    8:11|the support of any pillar. It was truly worthy of admiration
10Tovma4    8:12|It had vaulted domes and niches
10Tovma4    8:12|to the mind and eye. It also had domes like heaven

10Tovma4    9:1|cheeks in a bridle, as it were, he broke their force
10Tovma4    9:12|paintings and with silver doors; it is filled with gilt ornaments
10Tovma4    10:10|as if with pure wine it intoxicated and made the king
10Tovma4    10:10|in its appointed place; though it was from on High that
10Tovma4    11:2|them when they least expected it in the land of Andzevats’ik’

11Asogh1    20:8|the aforementioned vardapets. We consider it not superfluous to quote one

11Asogh1    21:3|of Sebasteiaia burned it, overlaying it with brushwood and straw
11Asogh1    23:3|city residents, having learned about it, rushed after him to kill
11Asogh1    24:6|appointing Delphinas as magistros in it, giving him a guard army

11Asogh1    28:12|dig (the king’s grave), examine it and tell the city and
11Asogh1    35:2|in its foundations, collapsed, as it is said in scripture: “the
11Asogh1    35:2|at the earth and makes it tremble
11Asogh1    35:6|and the mountain (on which it was located) also collapsed
11Asogh1    36:2|Babylon, as Epiphanius tells about it in his essay on precious
11Asogh1    36:2|has now been built and it is very famous. It was
11Asogh1    36:2|and it is very famous. It was from here that an
11Asogh1    36:5|army fled, and most of it, together with Patrick Chortuanel, the
11Asogh1    37:3|to go to war against it
11Asogh1    37:6|were to the east of it; after which they went to

11Asogh1    40:12|the dawn of the day, it began to prepare for battle
11Asogh1    40:13|abundance terrified the observer; for it was said that the number
11Asogh1    40:18|Christians in order to plunder it, considering them already fleeing (from
11Asogh1    40:25|Tayk warriors, amazed, fell dead. It was something like a fire
11Asogh1    41:5|the river Kidnos flows through it, as Aratzani through Babylon
11Asogh1    42:1|I would consider it my duty to spread my
11Asogh1    42:8|purpose he may have called it
11Asogh1    42:17|But Gagik considered it humiliating to come to him
11Asogh1    43:1|his army, took possession of it
11Asogh1    43:5|of the church located in it: having seen each other, they
11Asogh1    46:2|He founded it on the other side (of

11Asogh1    46:2|with three entrances, and completed it with a marvelous dome like
12Last1    1:10|much for such things. Now it is time for us to
12Last1    1:11|peace. For in his day it was as the prophecy states
12Last1    1:16|Good Thursday, and had given it to him (Dawit’) to drink
12Last1    2:1|were illuminated. In his time, it was as the prophet predicted
12Last1    2:8|Ani and the districts surrounding it, on account of (Smbat’s) seniority
12Last1    2:21|villages and fields (agarakk’) around it and belonging to it be
12Last1    2:21|around it and belonging to it be disfigured through fire, sword
12Last1    2:27|It was a pitiful scene there
12Last1    2:31|It seems to me that these
12Last1    2:31|make horse-shoes out of it.” This bitter lesson befell them
12Last1    2:35|of this befell them, whether it was a fitting lesson for
12Last1    2:35|the country’s inhabitants, or whether it resulted from the fierce behavior
12Last1    2:39|But it was there that the destruction
12Last1    3:8|Sebastia and the districts surrounding it. Now these events did not
12Last1    3:9|to his servants and had it speedily taken to the emperor
12Last1    3:11|the tyrant’s head, he ordered it raised aloft on a pole
12Last1    4:2|regretted his action. They took it and left. Now (Zak’aria) went
12Last1    4:5|they were out for looting. It was (then) just as it
12Last1    4:5|It was (then) just as it had been in antiquity, in
12Last1    4:7|over the district who divided (it up) House by House, village
12Last1    4:7|field by field, just as it had been before
12Last1    4:11|It seems to me that this
12Last1    4:11|the barbarians clearly realize that it was the hand of the
12Last1    4:16|suddenly fell down. Everyone saw it and said that it presaged
12Last1    4:16|saw it and said that it presaged the emperor’s death
12Last1    5:1|of (his) tent and causing it to collapse (on him). They
12Last1    5:2|men who were with him. It is very worthy of repentance
12Last1    5:2|into such wicked deeds. For it was (Komianos) who had placed
12Last1    6:2|Halp), to take and destroy it. He came upon the mountain
12Last1    6:6|broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one, it
12Last1    6:6|it falls on any one, it will crush him” [Matthew 21.44]. Consequently, the
12Last1    6:8|of the Song of David: “It is better to take refuge
12Last1    9:1|who holds sway (having inherited it) from his fathers and grand
12Last1    9:5|People who say this confirm it (by the fact that) the
12Last1    9:6|by the Persians, who controlled it. The district chief of Vaspurakan
12Last1    9:6|city) with numerous troops, took it, and established cavalry brigades there
12Last1    9:7|came against the city, investing it with a rampart. The Byzantine
12Last1    9:8|to be lifted up (for it is) just as the Lord
12Last1    9:9|slaughtered over that ditch until it was full. Then (Xtrik) got
12Last1    9:11|on that day, or that it presaged very great evils. Indeed
12Last1    9:14|leave this matter here as it stands, and return to the
12Last1    9:16|transpired. When they learned about it, they notified the Western army
12Last1    9:18|had grown so large that it even breached the wall of
12Last1    9:19|lost their own salvation. Indeed, it came to pass just as
12Last1    9:19|the housetops which withers before it grows up, with which the
12Last1    10:1|this is true, or whether it was as she herself had
12Last1    10:8|Now it was not that this monarch
12Last1    10:8|stop the source of impiety. It was just as the Savior
12Last1    10:19|from On High to complete it. It is time now to
12Last1    10:19|On High to complete it. It is time now to move
12Last1    10:21|Take this document and give it to the king of Armenia
12Last1    10:21|and let your son give it to his sons, for all
12Last1    10:22|took that letter and kept it until the time of Michael’s
12Last1    10:22|Michael’s reign, when he sold it to him for much treasure
12Last1    10:23|and the land, as though it were his own inheritance. A
12Last1    10:23|Shirak and the districts surrounding it, for he had gathered up
12Last1    10:27|cannot continue my composition. For it is a bitter narration, worthy
12Last1    10:30|up alert guards, ordained by it, poised on the ramparts
12Last1    10:34|lost as the psalm says: [Psalms 40.9] “It shall not return
12Last1    10:35|sighing, and break into sobs? It is time to mingle our
12Last1    10:36|we recalled a while earlier. It seems to me that this
12Last1    10:38|destroyed its towers, making of it a place for passersby to
12Last1    10:38|hog of the forest sullied it, and the wild boar grazed
12Last1    10:38|the wild boar grazed in it” [Psalms 79.14], as the Davidic psalm states
12Last1    10:49|in his hand, but broke it by striking it, causing the
12Last1    10:49|but broke it by striking it, causing the chrism to plentifully
12Last1    10:50|They remained (in confinement) until it was almost Easter. Then they
12Last1    11:4|work with ten fingers, so it was there that the punishment
12Last1    11:8|It seemed to us that they
12Last1    11:11|Arsharunik’; while in the south it stretched as far as Taron
12Last1    11:12|and seized the entire land. It seems to me that this
12Last1    11:13|wine, and became evilly drunk. It drank, became numb, and lost
12Last1    11:13|numb, and lost its senses. It drank until (it was responsible
12Last1    11:13|its senses. It drank until (it was responsible) for all (chastisements
12Last1    11:13|for all (chastisements) visited upon it. And now it lies sprawled
12Last1    11:13|visited upon it. And now it lies sprawled at the crossings
12Last1    11:14|It is time to repeat the
12Last1    11:14|swarming locusts have passed, but it is about the hopping and
12Last1    11:16|It is a history for us
12Last1    11:23|Smbatay Berd (Smbat’s Fortress), for it was there that a countless
12Last1    11:27|more pitiful and lamentable than it had been before
12Last1    11:28|their feet and clawing at it with their fingernails
12Last1    11:32|blood, of invasion, and loss. It is impossible to call you
12Last1    12:0|and renowned throughout the lands. It was like a city perched
12Last1    12:1|was in times past, when it was crowned with a plentitude
12Last1    12:1|as one would wish. Then it resembled a newly-wed woman
12Last1    12:9|mother and first cause of it. For it turns a human
12Last1    12:9|first cause of it. For it turns a human into a
12Last1    12:16|It is now time for me
12Last1    12:17|flow like water, not as it was in the past, around
12Last1    12:17|the mind cannot even imagine it
12Last1    12:18|were visited upon our city? It was (here) as was written
12Last1    12:18|brimstone and fire, and burned it” [Genesis 19.23-24]. So, it happened here that
12Last1    12:18|fire, and burned it” [Genesis 19.23-24]. So, it happened here that when the
12Last1    12:24|was late in awakening, and it was not (here) as it
12Last1    12:24|it was not (here) as it had been at that (Biblical
12Last1    13:2|and subject to dissolution, so it was with these (men). While
12Last1    13:7|the sword, but many, since it was evening, they threw (to

12Last1    16:9|that you want to hear it. Therefore, I shall stop wavering
12Last1    16:12|snow, inundating the land behind it, so it was (when the
12Last1    16:12|the land behind it, so it was (when the Seljuks attacked
12Last1    16:23|the unchecked destruction of Christians? It was as though the sea
12Last1    16:27|place) was unassailable. So, passing it by, he came to the
12Last1    16:28|withstand a siege). After observing it for many long hours, he

12Last1    16:36|K’eriat’ valley, then why should it be surprising if He directed
12Last1    16:38|the catapult’s sling, and hurl it at the city, this presbyter
12Last1    16:39|a very frightful thing, which, it was said, required four hundred
12Last1    16:39|in the sling, and hurled it at the city. In front
12Last1    16:39|the city. In front of it they set up a wall
12Last1    16:39|presbyter’s rock would not touch it
12Last1    16:40|violently struck the wall, caused it to crumble, and opened up
12Last1    16:42|Sulphur and flammable oil, put it into a glass vessel, mounted
12Last1    16:43|to the baban and around it, and then unexpectedly poured the
12Last1    16:46|fall into unbearable difficulties. For it is God’s way to temporarily
12Last1    16:49|were tossed into the furnace? It was then that (God) speedily
12Last1    16:50|the fire in two and it burned those Chaldeans it encountered
12Last1    16:50|and it burned those Chaldeans it encountered. But an angel sprinkled
12Last1    16:52|a secure, impregnable fortress near it. The citizens, placing their hopes
12Last1    16:53|waterseither because someone pointed it out to them, or because
12Last1    16:53|or because they craftily discovered it themselvesand entered the city
12Last1    17:0|while an impious one ruins it” [Proverbs 29.4]. Indeed, we saw the validity
12Last1    17:0|the case (of Monomachus). For it is the responsibility of kings
12Last1    17:2|without a protector, mercilessly destroy it. And so, it was in
12Last1    17:2|mercilessly destroy it. And so, it was in (Monomachus’) time that
12Last1    17:8|seized much booty and brought it to Taron
12Last1    17:12|ice broke, and everyone on it fell in
12Last1    17:17|and what (existed) in Byzantium. (It once had) a patriarchate, great
12Last1    17:20|labor for fifteen years? Today it is vacant, without an occupant
12Last1    17:22|comely, fruitful and sanctified that it would have astonished a prophet
12Last1    17:22|have astonished a prophet? Today it sits ingloriously, unadorned, stripped of
12Last1    17:24|and those who are in it and over it; inform the

12Last1    18:6|of Epiphany, the infidels approached it. Because of the severe frost
12Last1    18:6|was lit up as though it were high noon. There (the
12Last1    18:7|battling) as easily as though it were summertime. They put to
