[edit] Good work!

Gamarjoba Kober! I really appreciate your work on David III. Just a few minor remarks: 1) There is good reason to believe that the Byzantine court title of kuropalates was already bestowed on David in 978, and that he was granted the title again in ca. 990, after it had been taken away from him because of his support of Bardas Phocas during the second rebellion against Emperor Basil II. 2) David father was Adarnase Kuropalates (958-961), and not Bagrat, eristavt eristavi, as accidentally stated by you. The latter was David’s older brother. 3) David did not inherit the eristavt eristavi-title from Bragrat; already in 961 he bore the Byzantine court title of a magistros. 4) The cross you are displaying on the web-page is not a personal, but a processional silver cross. It was made by the goldsmith Asat (inscription on lower arm) due to a commission by David Kuropalates. Keep on the good work! Best wishes, User:Sofie.
