      Իսկ յորժամ եհաս եկաց Մանուէլն ի փառս տէրութեան իւրոյ, նախ առանց հրամանի թագաւորին Վարազդատայ յինքն յափշտակեաց զզօրավարութեանն զսպարապետութիւնն, զի այն ինչ որ իւրոց նախնեացն ի բնէն կալեալ էր ի սկզբանէ, զոր արքայն Վարազդատ շնորհ առնէր իւրում դայեկին Բատայ, զայն Մանուէլ յինքն հանեալ ունէր զիշխանութիւնն։

      • Translation by Nina G. Garsoïan
        And when Manuēl had attained the glory of his lordship, he first seized the office of sparapet and commander-in-chief without an order from King Varazdat. Manuēl took back for himself the authority that his ancestors had naturally wielded from the very beginning and which King Varazdat had granted to his tutor, Bat.
