Claims
- B-018 not confirmed supports
In იმერეთი (Imereti), Georgian reference works describe the ბერიძე family as aznauri (gentry) in the service of the წერეთელი (Tsereteli) princely house and as garrison-men (მეციხოვნეები) of the სვერი (Sveri) fortress; the family is likewise recorded as princely-household aznauri in ლეჩხუმი (Lechkhumi) and სამეგრელო (Samegrelo). Note: this statement appears in the Georgian Wikipedia article without a specific archival citation.
Stated in Georgian reference works and Georgian Wikipedia without an archival citation. The NPLG topo-archaeological entry locates სვერის ციხე and does not connect it with the Beridzes. Same claim as b-203, graded the same.
