Notes for King Sanatruk of Armenia
Sanatruk, King of Armenia,
who killed Jesus' disciple Thaddeus:
Eusebius (265-340 AD), the Christian bishop of Caesarea in Palestine and famous father of church history, wrote in his "History of the Church" that he had seen and translated into Greek from Syriac some significant documents in the Record Office at Edessa. Among them was a copy of a letter which Abgar Uchama wrote to Jesus, and Jesus' reply. See Abgar V Uchama. From Armenian sources quoted in "The Kingdom of Armenia" by M. Chahin we also know that King Abgars messenger not only returned with the letter quoted by Eusebius, but also brought with him a portrait of Jesus. Abgar is said to have had a nephew named Sanatruk, "king of another province in Great Armenia", who converted to Christianity when he was visited by Thaddeus, but later recanted and had Thaddeus murdered on the slopes of Mount Ararat.
