6th century,
Philo of Alexandria,
Yałags ban unel ew anasun kendaneacʻd, aṙ Liwsimakʻos :
[1][2]- Քանզի եղջերուք առ խածածս փաղիժիցն իմացան փոխանակ դեղ իւրեանց խեցգետի, որոյ կերակուրն անդէն բժկէ։
- Kʻanzi ełǰerukʻ aṙ xacacs pʻałižicʻn imacʻan pʻoxanak deł iwreancʻ xecʻgeti, oroy kerakurn andēn bžkē.
- Translation by Abraham Terian
- When deer are pricked by venomous spiders, they consider hops for their remedy and are healed.
Usage notes
- Attested only in Philo in the form փաղիժ-ից-ն (pʻałiž-icʻ-n, genitive plural), where it translates φαλάγγιον (phalángion). Some dictionaries reconstruct the nominative as *փաղիժ (*pʻałiž), but this is incorrect as the genitive plural would then be *փաղժից (*pʻałžicʻ).
- In the manuscript margin glossed with փաղանգ (pʻałang).
