  Armenian Legends and Poems: Armenia: Its Epics, Folk-Songs, and Mediaeval Poetry: Moses of Khorene
Moses of Khorene attempted to write the history of two or three thousand years, beginning with dark and unknown ages, weaving his materials in such a way as to produce a vivid and life-like picture, tinged with the colours of all the centuries which he depicts.
Moreover, Moses, being himself a bishop, could not have avowed such a source for all his statements, though, as we have said, he quotes from the epics and says that some of the contents of his work are derived from them.
In concluding this account of Moses of Khorene, we must acknowledge that he has not only rendered much service to Armenian history, but that his book is one of the great works of all literature, and, if it were better known, would take a high place among the masterpieces of the world.

Moses of Khorene professes to quote the work of a certain Mar Abbas Catina, who wrote the annals of Armenia in Greek and Syriac 150 years before Christ: but it is palpable that no reliance can be placed upon this statement, because Mar Abbas Catina is a Christian title.

Some early Armenian historians, among whom we may name Moses of Khorene, claimed that the Armenians were Urartus and that the name `Armenia' derived from that of an Urartu king named `Aramu'.

Early Armenian historians, such as Moses of Khorene, Toma Ardzouni and others, are content to write that the Armenians are the descendants of the Prophet Noah, and because they accept that Noah's Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat, they claim to have occupied this region throughout history.

Tradition asserts that thousands of ancient parchments were saved when the Alexandrian Library was destroyed by Julius Caesar, B.C. 48; in A. 390; and 640 A. by the General of Kaliph Omar.
These traditions make interesting study--but time prompts the assertion of a companion tradition in India of subterranean abodes, of large corridors filled with tiles, cylinders and other records, to reappear in some more enlightened age, when bigotry shall no longer blind the human mind and prevent careful study of the facts before judgment is pronounced.

Our driver was a lank, dank, hook-nosed creature who reminded us irresistibly of Ikey Moses in the old Ally Sloper cartoons, and who looked as if he had been shipwrecked on a desert island a great many times and always in the same suit.
He grumbled much at the amount of our baggage, and a great deal more because we insisted that he should carry a good supply of fodder; but we think that he--or at all events his horses-must eventually have felt grateful to us for not having given way.
This tale is something more than a legend, for it dates from the beginning of the fourth century; and is related by the historians Eusebius and Moses of Khorene, who both profess to have derived their authority from contemporary documents which they had themselves inspected among the royal archives at Edessa.
