63 Hats'uni, 1930, p. 28, who was a Mekhitarist priest, attaches too great an importance to this synod and feels that the clerical participation in the elections began at this time. This is unacceptable, since, as we have already seen, bishops and clerics of lower rank participated in councils
[147]
such as Artashat in 449 that dealt with political issues. There is no reason to think that the councils electing catholicoi were any different.
