Catalogue Note
inscriptions
First on the rim: T'aale ordi Tiratour "T'aale son of Tiratour".
On the underside: A( stoua)dsatouri 0rdi Mkrtitch "Astouadsatour son of Mkrtitch [Baptist]".
The name T'aale is unusual. It is a female name used previously in an inscription in the Church of St Hripsime dated 1296 and again on a gravestone in the church of Marmnashen dated 1342 in the form of Khatoun T'alayi. The male names Astouadsatour and Tiratour have the same construction and meaning Astouds + tour (God + given) and Tir + tour (the Lord + has given). Mkrtich is the word for Baptist from the verb mkrtel = to baptise.
