35 Such a late translation date for Ag would explain why such an important figure as St. Gregory is unmentioned by Koriwn and mentioned only in passing by the pious cleric Ghazar P'arpec'i writing at the end of the fifth century. Garitte concludes that excepting the Teaching of St. Gregory and the interpolated story of Artashir's revolt, Ag is a faithful translation of Aa made by an Armenian. See G. Garitte, Documents pour 1 etude du livre d'Agathange (Vatican City, 1946), pp. 1-16 and p. 333 (hereafter Garitte). The present study was completed in 1975, before the appearance of R.W. Thomson's edition of Agat'angelos (Albany, 1976). Readers may now consult that work which contains a reprint of the Tiflis, 1909 Armenian text accompanied by an English translation. Thomson's introduction provides the most recent review of the versions as well as supplementary bibliography.
