Abstract
The Monastery of Tatev (province of Syunik, Republic of Armenia, Tatev village) is rich in epigraphic inscriptions, some of which are still unpublished. An inscription bearing the name of Saint Pandaleon, preserved on what may be a pilaster pedestal or two parts of an obelisk base, stands out among several others and is the focus of this paper.
In this study, the author argues that the cult worship of St. Pandaleon was widespread in Artsakh. This tradition seems to had started in this area St. Grigoris, son of St. Gregory the Illuminator. As a further proof of this widespread tradition, the author notes that relics of St. Pandaleon are preserved in several sanctuaries of Armenia (St. Etchmiatsin, Gandzasar, Hovhannavank), St. Astvatsatsin of Sushi, St. Astvatsatsin of the village of Avetaranots, etc.). He points out that St. Pandaleon is also pictured in the Armenian miniatures (Manuscripts of Matenadaran after Mesrop Mashtos, N 1533, 4519).
As the monastery of Tatev is not far from Artsakh, the paper asserts that the discovery of this inscription in Tatev indicates that he relics of St. Pandaleon were also buried in Tatev and an obelisk or monument was erected on the occasion.
