[1][2]- Եւ են անդ պրակք ինչ մանրոստք, որ կոչին երեկինք։ Եւ սկսանի ոգորել էրէն ընդ երեկին պրակսն․ եւ խառնեալ ոստք ընդ եղջիւրսն, եւ կապին ընդ ոստս պրակին, եւ ի գոչիւն հարկանի, քանզի զերծանել կամի եւ չէ ձեռնհաս, քանզի պատեալ շաղեալ կա։ Այլ զգոյշ լեր, գուցէ դու խաղասցես ընդ երեկին պրա(կ)ուն ընդ սակաւ ինչ պատճառս ընդ հանդերձս կամ ընդ այլ ինչ բարուց։

- Translation by Gohar Muradyan
- And there are shrubs with thin branches called erekins. And the animal starts to butt the "erekin" shrub; and the branches are entangled with the horns, and they are bound to the branches of the shrubs; and it begins to howl, wishing to escape, but is unable, as it is ensnared. But watch, lest you play with the "erekin" shrubs for some small reason, for clothes or some other goods.
