- B-010 A In Kartli, PAL I (1991) indexes ბერიძე ხუცია, an aznaurishvili of the Tsitsishvilis with three serf households in მაწლეთი and ჯამლეთი, in Tsitsi Tsitsishvili's serf list dated [1658–1675] (Hd-14534 ბ); ბერიძე ბახუტა is in the same list. The Saamilakhvro register (second half of the 17th century, 1448-5032) records a Beridze household at ანდორეთი, four of whose men owed service with muskets.
- B-012 B At the turn of the 17th–18th centuries the princely (თავადი) ბერიძე house of გურია declined: the offices it had held at the court of the გურიელი passed to the ნაკაშიძე family, and the ბერიძეები were reduced to the rank of აზნაური. In the 18th century the childless აზნაური მამუკა ბერიძე of დვაბზუ bequeathed his estate to საყვარელ ნაკაშიძე.

- B-018 not confirmed 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.
- B-023 D According to a Gurian local-history account (repeated in Georgian Wikipedia from a 2017 blog post), an აზნაური of ჯვარცხმა, named there as ყარსუმ (?) ბერიძე, took part in the 1841 Gurian uprising (გურიის აჯანყება) and, in the fight near გრიგოლეთი against the Dadiani (Mingrelian) militia, captured a sword inscribed as a gift from King ერეკლე II to Dadiani; the sword is said to have remained with the Beridze family for about a century. The episode is not documented in any archival or academic source we could find, and even the source marks the first name as uncertain.
