Events it narrates
The Armenian national history of the conversion — Gregory the Illuminator in the pit at Khor Virap, the martyrdom of Hripsime and her companions, the madness and healing of Tiridates, and the baptism of the nation. It claims to be by Tiridates' own secretary and is a century and a half later than the events, so it is a national epic as much as a chronicle.
