  Nineteenth-century surveys of the ruined ოქონის მონასტერი (Okona Monastery) on Mount ოქონი above the village of აცანა in ლანჩხუთის მუნიციპალიტეტი (Guria) recorded family inscriptions of the ბერიძეები on its walls, alongside those of the ჭანუყვაძეები and ორატაძეები (ურატაძეები). Local tradition dates the foundation to the time of Patriarch მალაქია გურიელი; archaeological traces go back to the 9th century. The church was heavily rebuilt in 1897, when some frescoes and inscriptions were destroyed, and was blown up by the Soviet authorities in 1932, so the inscriptions themselves no longer survive; a new church has stood on the site since the 2010s.
