A 5-9
Description:
Stone block with an inscription on the top and front face from the double church Surb Poģos and Surb Petros (Old Van) which both have been destroyed. Today the object is kept in the Van Museum (Nr. 34.6.1). The top of the stone has a cylindrical recess which was probably used for libations. In Armenian times the stone was reused as a hačkar. The bottom face was engraved with an Armenian cross. The fact that the width of the stone was reduced to form a pedestal for the hačkar caused a loss of text. On contextual grounds it it obvious that the text was part of a more complex and longer annalistic text (Annals of Minua).
