Beorgor[edit]

Count Marcellinus: "Beorgor, king of the Alans, was killed by king Ricimer" [Beorgor rex Alanorum a Ricimere rege occiditur].

Cassiodorus: "In this year, Beorgor, king of the Alans, was killed at Bergamo by the Patrician Ricimer" [his conss. rex Halanorum Beorgor apud Pergamum a patricio Ricimere peremptus est].

The Fasti vindobonenses priores: "In this year, on 6 February, Beorgor, king of the Alans, was killed at Bergamo, at the foot of the mountains" ["his cons. occisus est Beorgor rex Alanorum Bergamo ad pede montis VIII idus Februarias"]

Religion[edit]

Is there a source for ancestor worship? I don't doubt it because many peoples have practiced it, but I still think a source would be important. -Darokrithia (talk) 30 November 2017

Please remove ambiguity over the reference to 'River Don'. I thought it referred to the river in England. In fact, most likely it refers to. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_(river). Perhaps say

The Don river (central to southern Russia)

Making 'Don river' a hyperlink to the associated Wikipedia article 90.241.197.164 (talk) 19:56, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: Don River is already linked twice in the article, and the style guide for links states that duplicates should be avoided. Tollens (talk) 21:20, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
May I add that I think the user is confused between the River Don in Russia with a different River Don in England (or there’s others too in Australia or wherever else). I don’t know how one can get confused, when the sentence that states that the River Don is in Central Asia, and the whole article is about the Caucasus anyways. Last I checked, the tectonic plates haven’t shifted to put England, Canada, France or Australia in Central Asia yet. Fork99 (talk) 17:57, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
