Talk:Sarai (city)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Ambiguity
In the following passage, it is not clear to what the "there" in "resided there" refers.
- The existence of Sarai Berke (New Sarai, Sarai-al-Jadid), reputedly founded by Khan Berke, is disputed. If it existed, the most likely location was Tsarev, an archeological site also on the Akhtuba channel 55 km south of Volgograd. The bishops of Krutitsy resided there from 1261 to 1454.
It might refer to Sarai Berke, but this is doubtful because the residence of the bishops "there" is stated as a fact, and the existence of Sarai Berke is not. The phrase probably refers to Tsarev, but the reader should not have to work this out. Thanks. Jim 16:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
