will come forth to you

Should

I

conquer you, the Byzantines then

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:5

you worship that God Whom

I

do not worship - especially since

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:8

saying: “All these years that

I

have known you, you have

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:9

I

was satisfied with your labors

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:10

borne witness to me that

I

have served you with all

rendered me and to which

I

am witness

I

have served you loyally. I

I had no expectation that

I

But as for your saying

’I

shall increase affliction for you

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:21

of elevation to high rank

I

shall cast you into prison

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:21

into prison and bonds,’

I

would be blessed to accept

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:21

Lord’s bonds. And with him

I

would be happy and rejoice

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:24

You say ’by death

I

shall cut off hope of

But may

I

in all obedience [cf. I Tim. 2.11] and all

I expected nothing, nor have

I

need,’ I know that

nor have I need,’

I

know that you are seeking

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 5:34

I

shall quickly send you where

that Christ may be, that

I

may know who might be

I

know not. Or what the

I

shall not absolve you from

I

given you warning and commands

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 6:2

So,

I

have spared you, because of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 8:26

I

I

was not in the least

afraid of your torments and

considered as nothing your fearsome

I

now will burn you with

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 10:14

these cruel tortures with which

I

have afflicted you

Gregory replied and note: “Did

I

not tell you earlier to

For thus he says:

’I

shall neither abandon you nor

I

increase the tortures still more

I

did not spare my meritorious

I

have tortured him with harsh

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 12:21

harsh and severe punishments. Afterwards,

I

had him thrown into the

I

chanced to see a young

following of their sect, and

I

wished to take her to

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 16:7

be of good cheer [Matt. 14.27; Mk. 6.50], because

I

am with you [Matt. 28.20], and I

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 16:7

I am with you [Matt. 28.20], and

I

place which my Father and

I

have prepared for you [cf. Jn. 14.2-3], the

me from this profanation, that

I

may in purity die for

I

raised you

the divine instruction with which

I

nourished you

witness that from my youth

I

have had no desire at

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 17:45

all for earthly life. Because

I

had regard for and faith

the moment of her death: “

I

thank you, benign Lord, for

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 18:11

for not excluding me. For

I

was ill and could not

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 19:3

do not tremble at death,

I

am speaking especially about the

my mind so long as

I,

king Trdat, remain alive

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 19:5

I

know well the land of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 19:5

Tadjikistan and Azerbaijan. Why should

I

enumerate them one by one

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 19:6

are many regions to which

I

have come in peace, and

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 19:6

in peace, and many which

I

have plundered in war

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 19:7

Yet in none have

I

seen the like of this

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 19:18

So now

I

am anxious and impatient to

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 19:18

I

am happy to follow my

am a man like you

I

have been in the dark

I

terrified of them nor was

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 21:19

was my heart dismayed. For

I

hoped in the Lord God

But this

I

know, that it was in

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 21:22

Did

I

not tell you earlier about

Now if

I

were to see in you

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 21:23

to approach the divinity piously,

I

would not cease to pray

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 21:25

have permitted them to follow

I

was buried amidst piles of

I

was previously unworthy, behold we

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:12

But as for me, was

I

a preacher to you not

Did

I

really have the power to

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:13

anything from you, especially if

I

had been commanded by God

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:14

the deep pit every day

I

saw a vision with eyes

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:14

me and said- just as

I

see the same vision now

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:15

by the will of God

I

emerged safe and sound

say this not in order

death- and in your eyes

I

was considered dead, as you

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:18

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 22:21

I

was entrusted with telling you

this in its proper order

I

shall narrate, with unwearying tongue

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 1:2

I

have set out in order

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 1:2

beginning to the very end

I

have told you everything

replied and said to them: “

shall show you.’

I

looked up and saw the

I

looked up and saw three

I

saw a canopy of cloud

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:17

canopy but above the vaults

I

saw these thirty-seven holy

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:17

I

am not capable of describing

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:18

the summit of this edifice

I

saw a wonderful and divine

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:22

I

saw a numberless multitude of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:23

I

saw numberless herds of goats

While

I

was still looking, suddenly the

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:26

While

I

was looking, I saw that

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 3- 4:26

While I was looking,

I

saw that the flocks grew

Beholding this

I

was amazed

I

to the martyrs, saying: “Did

saw that there was an

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 94:2

is appropriate and fitting that

I

should go there even more

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:19

Today

I

speak before you boldly and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:25

before us by your Vahan

I

shall give you written and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:26

Today

I

forgive you the act of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 96:2

Vahan Mamikonean responded, saying: “

I

do not have the authority

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 96:3

I

wish that you would allow

I

hope that you will forgive

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 96:10

raised me up from it,

I

would like my entire person

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 96:10

raised, not just half. For

I

see that half (of me

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 96:12

grant (me) the Kamsarakan terut’iwn, (

I

would be) fully favored by

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 97:3

I

rejoice in the Lord Who

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 98:5

wisdom (of his), about which

I

have written to you many

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 98:6

Consequently,

I

make bold to openly state

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 98:7

prudence. But as for mortals,

I

boldly say that there are

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 98:12

my mind for many hours,

I

think that (the appointment of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 98:12

land and for the court.

I

have made bold to say

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 100:10

my hands raised to heaven

I

cry out to God with

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 100:11

Accompanying the prophet,

I

say the same: Blessed be

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 100:15

of tears!” [Jeremiah 9:1] and sitting down

I

would lament the destruction of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 100:19

and are heavy laden, and

I

will give you rest” [Matthew 11:28], and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 100:19

will give you rest” [Matthew 11:28], and “

I

have not come to call

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 100:35

Believe that by these words

I

shake in terror

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 1:3

Through your estimable request

I

have realized the unfailing effusion

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 1:6

In which regard this too

I

see, that if those who

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 1:7

received your request with pleasure,

I

shall labor to bring it

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 1:7

from father to son. Indeed,

I

shall describe briefly but faith

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 2:10

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:2

I

do not hesitate to call

I

do not wish to leave

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:3

of our eulogies. Through these,

I

say, when we read their

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:10

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:11

I

am greatly amazed at the

For which reason

I

shall say only this. “Is

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:11

which, like the Hebrew historians,

I

can bring down my account

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:12

Nonetheless

I

shall begin, though with an

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:13

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:13

I

shall begin where the others

pagans concerning the beginnings, though

I

shall mention some of the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 4:2

disagreement with each other - Berossus

I

mean, and Polyhistor and Abydenus

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:2

Abraham and Ninos and Aram.

I

think that no right-minded

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:4

and patron of our labors,

I

shall briefly recapitulate what I

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:4

I shall briefly recapitulate what

I

set out above: how the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:4

write on this matter, although

I

am not now able to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:5

But as for the beginning

i.

e. Creation sometimes they tell

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:6

But now

I

shall be happy to begin

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:16

be the truth, nonetheless, as

I

am persuaded, there is much

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:21

as follows: “Old men, when

I

was among the Greeks studying

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:21

Olympiodorus by name, said this:

’I

shall tell you,’ he

I

am repeating in this book

I

say that the one called

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 7:8

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 9:3

I

shall begin to show you

Because

I

received from you a command

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 9:3

cultivate valor and all wisdom,

I

have never neglected your advice

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 9:4

been stabilized by your solicitude,

I

have decided to discover who

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 9:6

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 9:6

I

beg your majesty to order

the fulfillment of our wishes

I

well know will be a

I

fled; and behold I come

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 11:8

house, I fled; and behold

I

come in great anxiety

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 14:23

another reason, namely, that, as

I

have heard, since Ninos was

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 15:4

his flight to Crete as

I

believe, Semiramis freely paraded her

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 15:12

revenge Ara’s death, she note: “

I

have ordered my gods to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 18:2

I

have in mind Cephalion in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 19:2

Putting everything in order,

I

shall expound to you in

is assured, or almost so,

I

shall begin to expound for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 22:3

descended from Semiramis or Ninos

I

say was our Paroyr in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 22:4

And now

I

shall rejoice with no little

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 22:13

deeds of many of them?”

I

reply: “From the ancient archives

I

shall pass to the number

I

could delight in their rule

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 23:6

But now

I,

living during the reign of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 23:25

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 23:34

I

reply: “Do not believe such

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 25:16

I

say that the later Eruand

Through such a relationship either

I

shall have a firm friendship

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 25:16

Tigran, or in this way

I

shall easily lure him to

happened to me today that

I

was in an unknown land

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:7

As

I

gazed for a long time

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:8

As

I

looked for a long time

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:10

it seemed to me that

I

was standing on the roof

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:10

of my royal palace, and

I

saw the surface of this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:10

in a wonderful spectacle, and

I,

with you, was honoring them

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:11

Suddenly

I

looked up and saw the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:12

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:15

I

Azhdahak, interposing myself, received this

sleep fled from me; thereafter

I

did not seem to be

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 28:2

I

have heard many thoughtful and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 28:2

you, my friends,” he said. “

I

shall now tell you which

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 28:2

the help of the gods,

I

consider to be the most

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 28:4

unless we now act as

I

wish

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 29:3

useful advantages accrue from friendship,

I

have decided to confirm even

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 29:6

Without prolonging the story

I

shall say

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 30:4

of this, save that first

I

shall die and then Zaruhi

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 30:17

So

I

praise my noble champion, the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 30:18

But why do

I

prolong my account? When the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 31:8

Goḷt’n have lovingly preserved, as

I

hear; these include songs about

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 32:3

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 32:15

I

like to name for their

reign of Vaḷarshak in Armenia

I

have nothing very accurate to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:9

I

cannot say whether we are

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:11

and was killed - by Achilles,

I

would like to think, and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:12

I

now freely quote the saying

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:13

recital offends our ears, today

I

shall set out by my

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:13

to their irrationality. And behold

I

shall reveal their, the Persians’

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:15

I

shall begin thus

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:18

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 1:2

I

know that this definite name

I

shall now describe for you

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 1:2

valiant man Trdat the Great.

I

shall set down in order

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 1:3

I

shall write very briefly of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 6:4

I

am scrupulous here to write

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 6:4

beloved and famous man; for

I

have continued my account merely

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 7:6

the family of the Gnt’uni.

I

do not know for what

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 7:12

And the Artsruni

I

know are not Artsruni but

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 7:13

I

omit the nonsensical fables that

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 7:14

I

know that the Gnuni are

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 7:16

I

say also that he set

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 7:19

But later, as

I

hear, the Persian monarchy appointed

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 7:19

companies and called them ostan.

I

do not know if it

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 7:22

his deeds passed into oblivion

I

do not know

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 8:16

But if you wish, even

I

am telling inappropriate and contemptible

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 8:24

the grim man called Slak’;

I

am unable to say for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 8:32

the Ṙshtuni and the Goḷt’nets’i,

I

have found it said that

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 8:32

branches of the Sisakan family.

I

do not know if they

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 9:6

sword for their ancestral customs.

I

am not ashamed to call

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 10:6

you will find in book

I,

chapter thirteen, that he bears

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 10:7

I

think that these are preserved

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 12:8

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 13:6

I

cannot say from what cause

prisoner and narrate this plausibly,

I

am so persuaded

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 13:22

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 24:13

I

think that these accounts are

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 31:3

I

did not agree but said

I

have heard about you and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 31:4

And when

I

heard all this about you

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 31:4

heard all this about you,

I

decided one of two things

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 31:5

So therefore

I

have written to you to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 31:6

I

have also heard that the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 31:6

wish to harm you. But

I

have a small and pleasant

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 32:3

your writing to me that

I

should come to you, I

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 32:3

I should come to you,

I

must fulfill here everything for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 32:3

fulfill here everything for which

I

was sent

And when

I

have completed this, then I

I have completed this, then

I

shall ascend to Him who

Him who sent me. When

I

have ascended, I shall send

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:9

me. When I have ascended,

I

shall send one of my

Abgar said to him: “

I

have believed in Him and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:9

his Father. For that reason,

I

wished to take my army

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:9

Jews who crucified Him, had

I

not been prevented because of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:17

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:17

I

know that nothing is hidden

majesty, yet as your friend

I

am informing you even more

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:28

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:29

I

also wished to do what

investigated by the senate, therefore

I

revealed this affair to the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:31

to crucify Him, of whom

I

hear that He was worthy

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:31

of honor and worship, when

I

have a respite from the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:31

Spaniards who revolted against me,

I

shall examine the matter and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:34

I

have seen the letter written

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:34

by your worthy majesty and

I

have rejoiced at your considered

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:37

I

desire your health

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:42

I

have seen your letter of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:43

fire and water so that

I

may see and hear him

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:49

I

know that by now you

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 34:13

drew Persia as his lot,

I

can say nothing for certain

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 34:14

reason for his coming there,

I

do not know. But I

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 34:14

I do not know. But

I

have merely noted this so

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 34:14

that you may know that

I

have spared no efforts in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 50:6

to the camp of Artashēs:

I

say to you, valiant Artashēs

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 57:6

their coming here might be,

I

do not know. However, they

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 59:3

or were unversed in them -

I

am speaking of the cycles

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 61:4

you, to what purpose shall

I

reign over these ruins

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:3

what the Persians called him

I

do not know

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:6

and some from our region -

I

mean the ancient neighbors of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:10

Observing the same principle here,

I

am keeping the course of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:11

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:8

I

beg you now again, as

Although others simply lived, yet

I

say that he lives on

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 65:9

of the northern peoples united,

I

mean the Khazars and Basilk’

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 67:6

promises of Artashir, who note: “

I

shall return to you your

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 67:8

account of these events, nonetheless

I

have decided to rehearse the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 68:8

sons and a daughter, as

I

said earlier, whose names are

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 74:9

Here

I

repeat a story of the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 74:9

wonderful old man, who note: “

I

have from my ancestors the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 80:5

this happened through God’s foresight,

I

am happy to say, for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 81:3

the nations of the north,

I

mean the land of the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 81:10

it not displease you that

I

was unable to hand over

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 81:10

to cause you no trouble

I

have expelled him from my

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 84:7

the Sḷkuni family, to him

I

shall give, with perpetual jurisdiction

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 84:9

and execute whatever we wish.

I

have decided to ally myself

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 84:9

you because of the insults

I

have suffered from the king

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 85:3

I

am unable to describe the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:2

rank as martyr alone, though

I

would also add, by reason

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:3

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:4

I

would assign the superiority to

For this reason

I

call him the leader on

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:7

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:9

I

wish to mention the hardheartedness

I

am ashamed here to speak

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:13

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:13

I

speak lamenting over my own

the cross of Christ [cf. Phil. 3:18]. But

I

speak not my own words

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:22

Yet

I

shall speak

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:24

I

shall leave the rest, for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:29

no one is offended, then

I

say that such are those

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:30

I

refrain from mentioning the saying

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:31

let this discourse cease, as

I

am weary of speaking to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 5:9

I

have sent an army to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 15:9

is left for him. Otherwise

I

swear by Ares, who granted

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 22:9

saying: “With my own ears

I

have heard Gnel saying, ’I

I have heard Gnel saying,

the first - not in valor,

say, but on my journey

But on my return,

I

shall so destroy you in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 27:7

the bones of the kings.

do not know if this

myself come with it; rather

I

preserved fidelity toward you. For

I

know that you came unwillingly

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 34:5

for a brief while until

I

catch my breath and can

I

I

hope for from you - which

I

can compare to nothing other

crown you, Mehrujan, because you

I

am the God of Abraham

I

quote from the books of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:83

Listen to this,

I

beg you, and then answer

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:85

I

was forced to make use

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:91

and into such unchasteness as

I

am ashamed to speak of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:94

gradually, little by little, as

I

have noted above, until the

shall cite for you a

with pleasure. In this manner,

I

hope that I shall succeed

this manner, I hope that

I

shall succeed in elevating you

of Him and note: “But

I

am a worm, and no

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:100

’you are my son, today

I

have begotten you’.” [Psalm 2:7]. To indicate

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:100

adds: “Ask of me, and

I

will make the nations your

at my right hand, till

I

make your enemies your footstool

to David in these words: “

I

will establish his line for

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:123

There are still many passages

I

could cite (on this subject

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:123

cite (on this subject) but

I

have preferred to limit them

the Holy Spirit spoke thus: “

I

was not rebellious, I turned

thus: “I was not rebellious,

I

turned not backward. I gave

I

gave my back to the

I

said. Your objections are totally

I

shall endeavor to dry them

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:135

I

shall be convinced that you

I

repeat, you believe all this

I

I

have power to take it

me into the world and

I

shall return to Him.” On

sent) is with me” [John 16:32]. Again, “

I

came from the Father, and

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:142

come into the world; again

I

am leaving the world and

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:144

The Father is greater than

I” [John 14:28];

that is to say, greater

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:144

said a little later on, “

I

and my Father are one

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:146

to a true God, as

I

have mentioned several times. Under

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:146

my beloved Son, with whom

I

am well pleased” [Matt. 3:17], was seized

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:149

put Him to death. But (

I

ask you), if (Jesus) were

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:152

the Father knows me and

I

know the Father” [John 10:15], “the Father

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:152

sent me is with me” [John 16:32], “

I

am ascending to my Father

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:153

has sent me, even so

I

send you.” [John 20:21; Matt. 28:18 [Arm. text]]. Thus all the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:154

coming, says the Lord, when

I

will make a new covenant

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:154

not like the covenant which

I

made with their fathers when

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:154

made with their fathers when

I

took them by the hand

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:157

Eldest among the dead. Had

I

recognized you as one who

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:162

Prophet Ezekiel, in these words: “

I

will sprinkle clean water upon

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:162

and from all your idols

I

will cleanse you

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:163

of the Prophet’s prediction that “

I

have given you as a

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:167

outraged and reduced yourselves. For

I

am doing a work in

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:168

Nor have

I

forgotten the objection raised by

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:169

I

suppose that you know there

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:172

to save him, since, as

I

have said, there is nothing

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:175

holy men that God note: “

I

will live in them and

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:175

is the man to whom

I

will look, he that is

I

submit to you the following

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:176

you the following proposition as

I

perceive you to be envious

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:180

I

presume that you are not

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:186

place of my sanctuary; and

I

will make the place of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:190

it the dwelling of Abraham.

I

wish not to be insulting

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:190

insulting you by saying that

I

shall prove my point by

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:194

I

will allow myself to say

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:194

wives which he has compared,

I

am ashamed to say, to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:194

of tilling fields. Nor can

I

forget the unchaste approach of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:196

this you do well, for

I

know nothing worse than not

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:197

I

would prefer not to say

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:197

of another. And what shall

I

say of the execrable debauchery

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:203

me for the day when

I

arise

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:206

I

do not want to forget

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:207

later on the Prophet says: “

I

saw riders, a pair of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:209

I

have said above that the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:209

Prophet reveals clearly by saying: “

I

thought that) I might obtain

I

might obtain with ease those

I

wished to clear the way

beloved lords and dear brethren,

I

learned of the universal destruction

anger for our multiplying sins.

I

was also informed of the

I

agree with the Scriptures in

I,

Yovhannes, who wrote this book

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 36:8

due to the fact that

I

could not refuse the order

had been a disciple of

the beam of my sins,

I

did not deem myself worthy

of my brother, nor did

I

think that I was a

was a foremost authority on

I

preferred to manifest my obedience

better than a choice sacrifice,

I

could close the doorway of

employed the power invested in

eternal sadness. With consoling words

conduct, and the other naxarars,

I

set out, and went to

Besides these,

I

also took with me an

I

could afford from the sacred

I

might be able to come

I

suspect that due to the

I

was subjected to more severe

I

followed him in fetters

I

was subjected to beating, confinement

I

was cast into the depths

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 43:27

of pits and dungeons which

I

suffered in bitter agony

I

could not sleep and rest

I

I

shall call upon the outspoken

I

refer now to another passage

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:18

refer now to another passage: “

I

looked for some one who

but there was none; and

I

found no comforters

For this very reason

I

made mention of my grief

Let these suffice;

I

shall return to the sequence

I

narrated earlier. Those (who survived

I

have mentioned, are always justly

Now,

I

am compelled to utter words

At this point,

I

tremble and shudder with horror

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:23

with horror at the account

I

am about to give. For

the time of these afflictions

I

was an expatriate dwelling in

was tormented by great grief

was able to persuade the

am scorched by many tears

I

have found asylum under the

I

am not asking for a

This is something that

I

also wish to possess through

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:72

For many years

I

have wished very much to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:72

to you. Yet, until now

I

was hampered in carrying out

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:73

I

have also wished to provide

I

decided not to go, thinking

going there, and assume that

I

sought communion with the Chalcedonians

was for this reason that

I

did not wish to go

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:10

not wish to go, lest

I

might scandalize the minds of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:10

accordance with my own wishes,

I

went to the sacred cave

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:12

Also

I

saw there a small cavity

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:13

I

approached the cave with reverence

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:13

before the omnipotence of Christ,

I

went down to the spring

I

also, who am a wretch

I

possess; were that, I could

I

could also follow his example

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:15

I

took with me some of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:16

and fastnesses of the caves,

I

saw people living, celibates as

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:18

Receiving their blessings,

I

went to the village of

God. Spending the night there,

I

prostrated myself before the Lord

returned to the hermitages on

I

remained here for approximately nine

for approximately nine months, until

I

was lured by the flattering

in the name of God,

I

returned to Armenia

Nevertheless,

I

did not behold the results

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 55:22

Once again

I

wished to move away from

But by chance

I

returned from the distant land

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 56:12

I

set down among them the

Thereupon,

I

arrived (in order to intervene

I

always pleaded in favor of

Vagharshapat, but on this occasion

I

did not allow them to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:18

I

myself received the letter of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:20

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:21

I

admonished the king in very

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:21

I

also did not pursue this

being (for the following reason:

I

was afraid) that due to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 59:21

in the succor of heaven,

I

postponed the care of the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:21

such severe disaster, such as

I

have witnessed? Didn’t the solemn

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:23

here in my tent, while

I

go to meet him with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:28

king said to himself: “If

I

have been in any kind

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:28

kind of error, or if

I

have broken this oath, make

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:32

king reasoned as follows: “Should

I

let go of the prince

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 60:32

On the other hand, should

I

keep such renowned men confined

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 62:13

gates before me, so that

I

may enter and easily putting

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:3

oath before me, so that

I

would not hesitate in promoting

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:3

conditions for peace, and that

I

might not allow clandestine snares

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 63:5

my suggestion and advice, whereby

I

appealed to them, they cleansed

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:10

the wicked Hagarite’s stormy tempests,

I

wept with bitter distress, as

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:12

So

I

took flight not as much

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:12

of temporary death, but because

I

considered the furious rage of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:15

I

was not at all idle

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:15

the advent of the danger.

I

took as my first examples

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:20

Biwrakan, my own dzerakert which

I

had acquired through ganjagin. Here

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:20

had acquired through ganjagin. Here

I

had built a church constructed

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:20

ornamented and adorned with paintings.

I

had founded this place as

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:21

as we had reached Biwrakan,

I

immediately sent a letter to

I

stated that I had fled

I stated that

I

had fled fearing such agonies

with my mind at ease

I

would remain at the threshold

church of my house, where

I

would bless God in His

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:24

and according to my means

I

would continue sending him gifts

Thereupon,

I

was assured by that oath

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:24

assured by that oath that

I

could turn myself to useful

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:9

However, as

I

had learned of their shadowy

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:9

as on the previous occasion,

I

fled the evil in order

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:11

and the crown of martyrdom.

I

am of the latter opinion

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:11

of the latter opinion, which

I

shall clarify somewhat later

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:12

when they found out that

I

had escaped, they stopped to

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 66:61

enemy. A short time later

I

ransomed them at the price

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 67:16

with numerous threats. At first

I

had gone to Ashot, the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 67:17

all of my needs. Subsequently,

I

took leave of him and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 67:29

had walked in my ways,

I

would have put down their

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:1

church, the glory of Christ,

I

offer you as a gift

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:1

is like a reflecting mirror,

I

have invited you (to come

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:1

and disorderly boasting so that

I

may be exempt from this

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:3

and did not calm down,

I

was forced to come here

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:4

I

was at first pressed on

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:5

Nevertheless,

I

did not at all consider

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:5

reverberating from century to century

I

bequeath this to you with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:7

But henceforth

I

shall offer prayers for you

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:8

But (

I

pray that you) listen willingly

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:10

I

beg you not to climb

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:14

a shipwreck? For this reason

I

do not think that the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:22

from me suffice you. But

I,

the unworthy and wretched Yovhannes

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 68:22

His visitation both you and

I

may perhaps receive our remuneration

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:0

eloquent words. Great labour have

I

expended in the search for

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:0

and many historical accounts; and

I

have written down whatever I

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:0

I have written down whatever

I

was able to discover, beginning

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:1

up of the world. So,

I

shall discuss, according to the

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:2

Africanus and Moses K’ert’oł, first

I

shall expound how the divisions

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:3

I

shall set down the more

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:12

As a better-known example

I

can quote you our Saviour

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:13

of his wife Mary, as

I

mentioned above. For it was

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:15

running through the middle, as

I

shall describe in detail below

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:18

without removing those nations’ legitimacy.

I

have set down this brief

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:28

me from the tree and

I

ate.” And if Adam (accused

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:40

do not know; am I

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:40

I do not know; am

I

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:45

And that

I

might repeat the words of

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:58

evil. As (Scripture) says elsewhere: “

I

am the Living Lord; I

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:58

I am the Living Lord;

I

do not wish the death

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:62

behold in seven more days

I

shall bring a flood of

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:68

them in the ark—which

I

shall repeat a little later

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:71

and established an eternal covenant: “

I

shall place my arc in

shall give you the land

I

shall pass over their ravings

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 2:9

through Jeremiah: “On that day

I

shall seek vengeance from Bel

I

have a son Ormizd by

I

am your son Ormizd.” He

I

have been obedient to you

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:18

Of this

I

have also been informed by

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:18

those who are called Shakhrik’.

I

had occasion to meet some

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:20

Following up his sayings

I

enquired: “Where do you say

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:20

beyond which no humans dwell.”

I

know from the geographies of

I

rejected (them) and was strongly

I

do not believe is (even

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:26

begged me to return, but

I

did not wish to do

I

wanted to see the end

I

wished to instruct servants to

I

heard this, trembling and terror

I

shall traverse the works of

the works of past historians;

I

shall note in order but

I

I

shall expound (these matters) systematically

I

have no indication as to

I

did not consider it important

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:28

battled against each other. But

I

consider it superfluous to repeat

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:30

God Saint Nersēs. But here

I

shall expound in order the

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:41

and cruel tortures at which

I

shudder

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:48

of Armenia. Come here that

I

the sparapet may crown you

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 11:13

their emigration. For (he said): “

I

have appointed a king for

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 11:23

I

shall take care of what

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 11:42

vacillated, wondering “lest perchance if

I

do not do what they

I

Thomas, who did not shamefully

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 11:57

this great undertaking, in which

I

shall outdistance the charlatan tongues

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 1:12

Apar, and all the rest.

I

consider it superfluous to repeat

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 1:17

the book of the historian

I

shall indicate to your erudite

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 2:8

it in that fashion. Elsewhere

I

shall indicate what action the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 2:17

time of the emperor Leo

Vasak and Tachat died there

I

am ignorant. Banding together, these

defeated them,” in unison they

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:4

of my fathers. For if

I

am able to defeat my

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:4

enemy and reinstate my kingdom,

I

shall be a subject son

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:6

other generals in this fashion: “

I

was of the opinion that

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:6

of the opinion that when

I

fought against your enemies you

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:6

wage war against me! However,

I

shall not fear the assembled

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:8

unite with me. For if

I

am victorious, I swear by

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:8

For if I am victorious,

I

swear by the great god

I

shall not have the authority

shall deliver so much treasure

I

wrote to you to abandon

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:10

not wish to pay heed

I

am sorry for you. For

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:11

terms: “Having heard your proposal,

I

say that royalty comes from

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:11

yourself more than us. For

I

see that you are a

the strength of elephants. But

I

tell you: if the Lord

I

have taken vengeance for the

shall seek reckoning for this

I

seize him.” Taking the treasures

I

shall install another king, let

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:31

treasures, let him say and

I

shall give as many as

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:33

I

shall say the same kind

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:33

and friendship. And from you

I

shall seek three things, so

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:34

I

shall send to your king

I

sent to you, unaware that

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:39

war on me and say:

I

have confidence in my God

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:39

I

have subjected to myself the

I

be unable to take only

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:40

to take only Constantinople? But

I

forgive you all your sins

I

shall give you farms, vineyards

shall cast out my nets

I

shall agreed and gave over

I

shall come to Asorestan; let

predict that you will become

I

shall tell you with what

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:40

downfall which, continuing (my) account,

I

shall indicate in its place

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:44

I

shall give that land in

myself with my own eyes

struck him, and from him

I

learned the truth about it

I

shall expound in brief the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:17

I

shall carry my account forward

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:17

unwillingly and by compulsion shall

I

describe the opening of the

be amazed and undone. For

I

shall work a deed in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:31

For behold

I

shall stir up against you

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:15

what you will say; for

I

shall give you a mouth

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:60

I

seem at all evil in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:60

by one each harmful act

I

have done. Let all the

I

have cared for you tenderly

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:65

according to each one’s age

I

honoured every one of you

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:65

extensive goods among my treasures

I

gave up year by year

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:65

to plunder. With joyful heart

I

reckoned as mine the rapine

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:66

Of my despoiling

I

paid no heed, only wishing

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:66

and children, in affectionate compassion

I

would clasp them to my

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:72

Ashot?” The latter note: “Yes,

I

am.” When he (Bugha) had

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:75

without flinching, he note: “Since

I

have found favour with you

no purpose?” But he shouted: “

I

am a Christian.” But (Vahram

readily cried out, weeping tears: “

I

am a Christian, and I

I am a Christian, and

I

die for Christ. I am

and I die for Christ.

I

am baptised in (the name

fold; and them too must

I

lead hither. And they will

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:17

flock and one shepherd. And

I

shall give them eternal life

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:19

is known for his saying: “

I

am a Christian” according to

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:24

peaceably, saying: “Remain here until

I

dismiss you and fulfill the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:12

I

have sent you to attack

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:12

the land of Armenia. And

I

have given into your control

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:14

those nobles of Vaspurakan. Otherwise,

I

shall see about you

I

have come to you treacherously

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:15

for yourself and know that

I

have no guilt in this

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 5:19

shepherd and against his companion.

I

shall strike the shepherd and

is full of tears, and

I

am incapable of telling the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:2

I

am reluctant to put in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:3

Nonetheless, though unwilling yet

I

am forced to set it

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:3

order, briefly and in short.

I

shall summarize in a few

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:4

So

I

shall abbreviate what was done

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:18

kindness, with unrepenting audacity. But

I,

sparing you, will not execute

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:29

it (no) more. Now, because

I

spoke to you in flattering

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:30

I

shall spare you, if you

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:30

your souls and live. Then

I

shall forgive you the crime

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:33

and which in its place

I

shall be obliged to show

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:37

But lest

I

expatiate too long on his

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:44

in my name, there am

I

too among them

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:53

labour and are laden, and

I

shall give you rest,” and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:58

of Christ, as Christ note: “

I,

when I ascend to the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:58

as Christ note: “I, when

I

ascend to the Father, shall

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:11

I

too deny before my Father

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:11

I

too confess before my Father

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:14

what the blessed Isaiah says: “

I

am a man and I

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:14

I am a man and

I

have impure lips; I dwell

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:14

and I have impure lips;

I

dwell amidst a people with

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:24

And David says: “In what

I

believed, the same I spoke

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:24

what I believed, the same

I

spoke.” And Paul: “We believe

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:25

of our Lord.” and David: “

I

spoke your testimonies before kings

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:25

your testimonies before kings, and

I

was not ashamed.” And the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:1

natural habits, so also now

I

shall again recall it for

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:14

I

too deny before my Father

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 9:8

I

think it superfluous to expound

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 9:15

sake you killed my lord.

I

am not content to be

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 9:16

the evidence of witnesses that “

I

am not content to be

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 9:16

cause of Bugha’s destruction, which

I

shall briefly demonstrate in its

as my strength endures and

I

live, I shall oppose (you

strength endures and I live,

I

shall oppose (you) with the

force of the Lord God.

I

shall not meet you in

you in peaceful friendship, but

I

shall meet you with arms

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:21

Let your will be done.

I

am innocent of your blood

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:21

of your blood, especially because

I

regard it as (an act

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:21

with them, so too shall

I

deal with you and your

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:23

If, as

I

said, you leave me there

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:26

So again

I

say, this is none of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:26

you are pained by what

I

told your messengers, even more

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:48

But why should

I

describe each detail of the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:48

the battles one by one?

I

shall speak concisely and abbreviate

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:49

a command is written that

I

should go to you or

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:49

you or to the court,

I

shall not disobey his command

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:50

that does not happen, as

I

said you will see even

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:53

prophet Amos might be fulfilled: “

I

shall break the lances of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 11:6

of Christ,” he said,” and

I

shall forgive you the great

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 11:6

crimes you have committed, as

I

hear them described by your

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 11:6

life through cruel tortures. For

I

have nothing more to say

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 11:7

torments with his torments, that

I

should be glorified with him

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 11:25

hope, the truth of which

I

have comprehended since my youth

The blessed one note: “

I

see you speak as one

one of those mad fools.

I

long since despised you and

In my disdain for you

I

put your general and his

to the sword, his booty

I

distributed, and on the second

and on the second occasion

I

planned no little slaughter for

for your army. So shall

I

mingle cowardice with my valour

the things of this world

I

have fought much, as you

now hear from me. Shall

I

not then die for Christ

for eternal life, or shall

I

really be afraid of you

Far from it! Here stand

I;

do not hesitate to carry

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 13:1

With especial pleasure

I

am happy to undertake the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 13:1

noble, glorious, and victorious champion,

I

mean Gurgēn, member of a

I

should richly eulogise him and

and not engage in panegyrics,

I

shall avoid all reproach, especially

since with my meagre erudition

I

am inadequate to expound the

measure of his praise. That

I

leave to other more competent

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 13:3

I

myself have no hesitation, reserve

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 13:45

I

must express my profound astonishment

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 13:46

However, as earlier,

I

have decided to put myself

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 14:14

me in a peace agreement,

I

too shall revolt against Ashot

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 14:14

for two reasons. First “lest

I

appear to be in rebellion

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 14:38

to you, greetings to you.

I

have gone off to the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 14:48

might have. “Otherwise, he said,

I

shall see you with arms

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 15:19

I

promised above to write concerning

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 17:1

Hogeats’ Vank’, with this message: “

I

have come in peace at

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 18:14

But what should

I

say here? For although they

I

do not despise or mock

letter to Yamanik, saying: “When

I

enter the city of Dvin

the land. “Often,” he said, “

I

have verified this from his

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 20:37

not clear to us; and

I

reckoned it better not to

on considering the misfortunes that

I

planned to describe in these

of childbirth overwhelm me as

I

set down these woeful tales

I

grieve for the blow whereby

can demonstrate Gurgēn’s enthusiasm for

grieve for the blow whereby

I

am crushed by the reproachful

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 20:48

I

need some, even all, wise

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 20:48

wealth of my laments. For

I

have not the strength to

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 20:49

Therefore,

I

have withdrawn from running a

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 20:49

required. Only with assistants would

I

perhaps dare to engage in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 20:59

kissing the Lord, saying: “When

I

give the sign by approaching

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 20:65

As David says: “

I

was prepared and I did

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 20:65

says: “I was prepared and

I

did not tremble.” And another

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:20

made excuses to Ashot, saying: “

I

have come to this land

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:1

I

have undertaken to give a

have fallen on me, which

I

shall now briefly expound, dutifully

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:9

to those of the gospel;

I

am not ignorant of the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:1

not with ready willingness do

I

continue my narrative, for grief

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:2

place of peals of laughter;

I

sink down rather than stand

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:3

what reason or cause? Because

I

am deprived of my valiant

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:4

I

speak of Ashot the honourable

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:11

To counter this affliction,

I

have consoled myself with consummate

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:19

I

indeed was beside him and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:47

again says through the prophet: “

I

shall live among them and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:57

perhaps you here doubt that

I

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:58

So

I

appropriately add for you an

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:61

took place before the (events)

I

have been describing, that (the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:30

I

call on the bitter grape

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:30

eyes rapid flowing streams?” so

I

may ceaselessly weep for the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:31

I

do not hesitate to summon

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:46

the splendid young Gagik. But

I

do not know if this

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:53

listeners’ minds from being distressed,

I

shall refrain from saying anything

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:7

country by the following argument: “

I

shall rule the country as

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:12

type of fraud by saying: “

I

am a man without heirs

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 2:12

daughter whom Ashot has married.

I

am afraid that perchance Ashot

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:8

It was God, as

I

suppose, who permitted him to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:8

as we mentioned above. So

I

do not hesitate to extol

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:9

Truly

I

am very eager to compose

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:26

amazing castle of Amiuk, which

I

might describe as looking to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:58

and valuable precious stones, which

I

am unable to describe

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:61

cities and all its embellishments.

I

do not hesitate to say

do not reckon it too

I

do not know what sort

house of the Artsrunik’, as

I

record the wise and intelligent

requested from me this History,

I

offer and present to you

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:2

I

recount for you faithfully the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:3

crystal-pure water, he says: “

I

am not thirsty, and I

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:3

I am not thirsty, and

I

shall never drink water from

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:8

all sorts of ornament which

I

am inadequate to describe

I

chose you

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:87

I,

the most sinful and unworthy

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:87

Furthermore, falling on my face,

I

beg the kind readers and

paid to such matters. Since

I

am ignorant of these things

ignorant of these things, what

I

heard of these expressions from

from the ecclesiastical books, that

I

wrote down; and what is

and what is beyond them

I

do not know how it

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 1:15

know how it was. So

I

beg you that according to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:89

always, forever and ever. Amen.

I

also beg that you recall

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 2:1

Armenia, in three (different) periods,

I

mean (families): Haykazunik, Arshakunik and

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 7:23

only on Saturdays and Sundays.

I

happened to be with these

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 7:23

during the Great Lent, where

I

wrote these few lines in

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 7:33

vile (reptile) away so that

I

can go out.” - This was

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 7:36

men in their old age

I

saw in my youth with
