Baroyaxōs Earliest recension (
TR).4.1–2:
- Զի են եւ քարինք ինչ հրահանաց արու եւ էգ․ մինչեւ բացեայ ի միմեանց են, չհարկանի ուրէք հրդեհ. ապա թէ մաւտիցի արուն յէգն, հուր բորբոքի եւ այրէ զվայրս բազումս։
- Zi en ew kʻarinkʻ inčʻ hrahanacʻ aru ew ēg; minčʻew bacʻeay i mimeancʻ en, čʻharkani urēkʻ hrdeh. apa tʻē mawticʻi arun yēgn, hur borbokʻi ew ayrē zvayrs bazums.

- There exist certain fire-striking stones, male and female. As long as they are separate from one another, nowhere fire is lit, but if the male approaches the female, it sets fire and burns many places.
