 This is the tomb
wherein lies interred the famous Kharib(i.e., foreigner) Khojah Johanness,
the son of Margar, an Armenian from Julfa in the country of Shosh. He
was a considerable merchant, honoured with the favours of Kings and of their
Viceroys. He was handsome and amiable and had travelled north, south, east
and west, and died suddenly at the City of Hughly in Hindustan on the 27th
November 1697, and delivered up his soul into the hands of the Angel and
rested here in a foreign land seeking his home. the end of the world
will come, the Cross will shine in the East, the trumpet of Gabriel will be
blown suddenly at the middle of the night, the judgment seat will be set for
the Bridegroom to come and sit thereon, (who will say) "Come, ye, blessed of
my heavenly Father." And this Khojah Johanness will then act just like
the five wise virgins and likewise keep himself in readiness to enter into
the sacred nuptial chamber which the righteous inherit to the right of the
saints.
Oh, ye who may
come across this tomb, pray for him earnestly and God may have mercy on your
parents and on me, the Rev. Gregory, who am a Native of Erivan. And
here endeth the inscription.
