| ID | Title | E00104 | Łazar P'arpec'i's History of Armenia (1.18) recounts the taking of the body of Katholikos *Sahak II (Armenian katholios, S00076) to Aštišat, on his death in the 460s, the establishment of a church, monastery and annual feast at the site of his burial, and the healing miracles that occurred there. Written in Armenian in around AD 500. | E03071 | The early seventh-century Georgian version of the Lectionary of Jerusalem commemorates on 30 March at the Church of the Anastasis, *Sahak (katholikos of Armenia, S00076) and *Hippolytos (possibly the martyr of Antioch, S00959). | E03694 | The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th century, based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Jerusalem, commemorates on 30 March *Sahak (katholikos of Armenia, ob. 439, S00076) and *Hippolytos (probably either the martyr of Antioch, S00959, or the martyr of Rome, S00509), and *Ioannes Klimakos/John Sinaites (monk on Mt Sinai, ob. 649, S01643). |
