As an early church intellectual and inventor of the Armenian alphabet he continues to hold a place of certain distinction in the annals of Armenian history. This is his biography, as assembled and composed by his disciple Koriun, who would later go on to led the Georgian church as its Catholicos. This work of hagiography is perhaps one of the most important Armenian church documents to sruvive from great antiquity.
