The figure of the "last emperor" does not appear in the Armenian tradition until the later tenth century, and then in a revised version of the Life of Nerses, a frequently edited text concerning the prophecies of the fourth-century Armenian patriarch, translated by J.-R. Emine, "Généalogie de la famille de saint Grégoire et vie de saint Nersès," in Collection des historiens anciens et modernes de l'Arménie, ed. V. Langlois (Paris, 1969), 2: 21-41

The years covered in each part reflected Matthew's interest in numerological approaches to the Apocalypse. The first portion covers the years 952/3 to 1051/2 (Armenian years [AY] 401-500), the second from 1051/2 to 1101/2 (AY 500-550), and the third from 1101/2 to 1136/7 (AY 550-85); thus each portion covers roughly half the period of time of the previous section. Although the second and third sections include an authorial preface, in which Matthew outlined the sources used for the section, as well as explaining how it fit into his historical progression, the first section launches into a historical narrative unprefaced. It is tempting to speculate that the first portion of the chronicle has been lost, including an introduction as well as an account for the year 951/2 (AY 400). The account concludes in 1136/7 (AY 585), although Matthew indicated his intention to end it in 1131/2 (AY 580) (Matt'eos Urhayets'i, Zhamanakagrut'iwn, 278-80

Cyril Toumanoff gives the Pahlavunis connections to the ancient Kamsarakan family and thus to the family of Saint Gregory the Illuminator, the founder of Christianity in Armenia, but this genealogy is dubious; see his Studies in Christian Caucasian History (Washington, D.C., 1963), 207

The family themselves claimed the connection, perhaps as a way to solidify their hold on the katholicate. Movses Khorenats'i (of Chorene), a historian whose writings have been dated anywhere from the fifth to the eighth century, recorded that both Saint Gregory and the Kamsarakans were descended from the Iranian Pahlavids; see Moses Khorenats'i, History of the Armenians, trans. R. W. Thomson (Cambridge, Mass., 1978), 2: 27, 165. While their surname evoked the Arsacid monarchy, Pahlav being both an area in Iran and the name of the two branches of the Arsacid family, the Pahlavunis emerged only in the tenth century and cannot be linked to the Kamsarakans with any certainty

Vardapet in the Early Armenian Church
-
A vardapet is a unique rank within the Armenian church. It is essentially a scholarly position, invested with the authority to teach, and ranked second only to that of the bishop. Although the position did not have any sacramental duties attached to it, vardapets did have the power to excommunicate. Some historians have linked the institution to the office of the herbad, which fulfilled an analogous role in Zoroastrianism; see R. Thomson, "Vardapet in the Early Armenian Church," Le Muséon 75 (1962): 367-84

Matthew's continuator Gregory also lived in K'esun, further suggesting that Matthew, at the end of his life at least, was living there. At the time of his death in 1113/4, Barsegh was residing in Behesni, a town only a few dozen miles to the north of K'esun. An assembly of bishops consecrated his nephew Gregory as his successor at the monastery of Karmir Vank', also situated in the territory of K'esun: Matt'eos Urhayets'i, Zhamanagakrut'iwn, 329-30

Matthew's willingness to adapt historical events to his own purpose is again evident here. Matthew suggests that Basil II, one of his heroes, avenged David's death, when in fact he seized David's lands after his death as punishment for David's participation in the revolt against him by Bardas Phokas; see Whittow, Byzantium, 384
