called Grigor Lusavorits (The Illuminator) [Ref: Settipani LGA p53]
according to the tradition, the fortunes of this family begins with Anak,
Lord of Parthe, that, to please the Sassanide conqueror, accepts to
return with his brother and his relative, Khosrov, King of Armenia, that
he murdered. But Anak himself was massacred with all his family, with
the exception of two young children, one of whom was the future Grigor
Lusavorits (The Illuminator). However, versions differ. The syrian version
says Khosrov was murdered by his brother, Anak. Arabic version has Gregoire
as a Roman of Cappadoce, others designate him as Arsacide. Yet his
descendants are designated "Souren Pahlav" [Ref: Settipani LGA p53]
after having been thrown years in a pit by the king Trdat, son of Khosrov
(lately assassinated by Anak), he escapes thanks to a miracle by
converting the king to Christianity, and making Armenia the second
Christina state of the world. [Ref: Settipani LGA p55]
