    • 6th century, Philo of Alexandria, Aynocʻik or yElsn ē xndrocʻ ew lucmancʻ 2.5:[1][2]
      Ընդէ՞ր ասէ, Զաստուածս ո՛չ հայհոյեսցես։ Եւ արդ ևս մեղադրե՞ն զա՟ծային օրէնս, իբրու թէ զայլոց սովորութիւնս քակեն․ քանզի ահա՛ ոչ միայն հաստատութիւն մատուցանեն այլափառացն, յընդունելութիւն և ի պատիւ այնոցիկ՝ զորս ի սկզբանէն կարծեցին թէ են ա՟ծք․ այլ և զիւրեանց աշակերտեալսն ըմբերանեն և սանձեն, ոչ տուեալ թոյլ արձակ լեզուով բամբասել զնոսա, լաւ զբարեհամբաւ գովութիւն համարեալք։

      • Translation by Ralph Marcus
        Why does (Scripture) say, "gods thou shalt not revile"? Do they then still accuse the divine Law of breaking down the customs of others? For, behold, not only does it offer support to those of different opinion by accepting and honouring those whom they have from the beginning believed to be gods, but it also muzzles and restrains its own disciples, not permitting them to revile these with a loose tongue, for it believes that well-spoken praise is better.
