He is the inventor of the Armenian alphabet and the founder of the first school in Armenia. He was born in the Taron region, west of Lake Van. After receiving his education in his hometown, he went to the capital, Bagharshapat (now Echmiadzin), where he served first as a civil servant and then as a soldier in the court of Armenian King Khosrow III. He was already fluent in Greek, Persian, and Syriac. However, he became a recluse and engaged in Christianization activities in the Nakhchivan region. After this, he returned to the capital and, with the support of Sahak, Catholicos of the Armenian Church, and Armenian King Bramshapuh, began research into the development of the Armenian alphabet.
