According to Bradt Guide to Armenia (2003), the king's name was Trdat which is probably the same as Tiritades. But the guide mentions Trdat I to be ruling around 50 AD, while Trdat IV should be the one "convinced" by the Gregory Illuminator. At http://www.armenianchurch.org he is called Gregory Enlightener. Is this the same?

Do illuminated manuscripts have anything to do with Gregory's epithet? Michael Hardy 23:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
