    • 5th century, with changes and additions in later centuries, Baroyaxōs [Physiologus] Earliest recension (TR).19.2–4:[1]
      Բարոյախաւսն ասէ զյովազէ, թէ այսպիսի բարս ունի, որ ամենայն անասնոց սիրելի է, բայց միայն աւձի թշնամի է․ ամենախայտ է, իբրեւ զծաղկեայ պատմուճանն Յովսեփու, գեղեցիկ եւ զարդարուն։
      Baroyaxawsn asē zyovazē, tʻē ayspisi bars uni, or amenayn anasnocʻ sireli ē, baycʻ miayn awji tʻšnami ē; amenaxayt ē, ibrew zcałkeay patmučann Yovsepʻu, gełecʻik ew zardarun.
      • Translation by Gohar Muradyan
        Physiologus says about the panther, that it has such a custom: it is dear to all animals, but hostile only to the dragon. It is multicolored like Joseph's robe of many colours, it is beautiful and adorned.
