"
Gagik, king of Kars went to see the Byzantine emperor, since he was under his authority, Returning home he went to Caesarea. He had heard that a certain Markos the metropolitan of Caesarea had a dog which was given the name Armen, on account of the hatred which the Greeks have toward the Armenians. And he called him by this name since all peoples call the Armenians Armen on account of the bravery of Hayk's descendant Aram.

King Gagik went and took lodging with the metropolitan, who received him gladly.

When they were in their cups, the king spoke: "I have heard that you have a fine dog. Show me, let me see him".

The metropolitan said: "There he is, by the door across from us".

And the king said: "Call him so he will come here". The metropolitan then called the dog, but by another name, not its real one. However, the dog did not jump up, and did not come in. The king said: "Now call him by his real name". And as soon as the metropolitan uttered "Armen, Armen" the dog immediately bounded up and came. The king asked: "Why do you call him by that name"? The metropolitan answered: "Because he is small". Then the king ordered his servants: "Bring a large sack and throw the dog in it". They were barely able to do this. The bishop thought that Gagik wanted to take the dog away with him, and so he got angry at the king's servants. Then the king said: "Throw the bishop in there too, so I may see if the dog is as small as he says". Now the bishop wept and pleaded with the king to forgive his crime. But the king angrily declaimed: "Strike that dog with a goad so they will eat each other up". And they struck the dog. The animal, smarting from the pain, mauled the metropolitan, tearing him to bits with its teeth and paws until he died. Then the king said: "Now you know whether Armen is small or not".

And [Gagik] sacked the bishopric and saw the emperor no more.⁴

And the Romans replied: "Where is our metropolitan Markos"? And they hurled him from the wall of the fortress with insults. He crashed to the ground and died. As for the lad who was with him, an Armenian merchant purchased him and made him his son-in-law."⁶ "In the first year of Diogenes' reign, Gagik Shahnshah, king of Vanand, died."⁷ Gagik, King of Kars died in 1068/69.
