The Scythians, supposing that the Arme- nians were afraid and had fled, crossed the river and pursued them. Suddenly the pur- suers were assailed by those who were in ambush, and at the same moment Gagik with the main body turned and charged upon them . The most horrible slaughter ensued ; multitudes were drowned in the attempt to cross the river, and a few made their escape to Gordjaik. Here they received reinforce- ments, and after a little rest invaded Vas- buragan. They were opposed by a ve...ry powerful man, named Lion Khatchig, at the head of seventy men. This Khatchig had a son whom he tenderly loved ; on his setting out to meet the invaders he insisted upon his son's re- maining at home. But Ishkhanig, the son, unable to endure the anxiety he felt about the safety of his father, shortly after set out to join him. He arrived just at the moment when his father was engaged in a warm struggle, and giving way to the ardour of his youth, rushed into the thickest of the fight. Unfor- tunately he was slain in presence of Khatchig, 208 who giving way to bis grief, became insen- sible to every tbing but tbe bloody corpse of bis son ; the weapon fell from his hand and he was immediately killed by a host of swords.
