And thus the blessed one's years of faith were forty-five years, and the period from the creation of the Armenian alphabet to his death, thirty-five years, which is computed as follows: The Persian King Kerman reigned six years and Jazdegerd, twenty-one years, (and Vram eighteen years), and the Saint died in the first year of Vram's son, Jazdegerd II.

Thus, the years of [service] in the holy faith began on the fourth year of King Kerman up to the first year of Vram's son Jazdegerd II, and the Armenian alphabet was created on the eighth year of Jazdegerd [I].

And glory to Christ, the lover of mankind.
