Translation examples
Vielä sen jälkeen, kun Bysantissa 500-luvulla alettiin tuottaa silkkiä, kiinalaista silkkiä pidettiin laadultaan parempana, mikä ilmenee kenties siitäkin, että Justinianus II:n aikana lyötyjä bysanttilaisia soliduksia on löydetty eräästä Sui-dynastian haudasta Shanxista vuonna 1953 ja monesta muustakin paikasta Kiinassa.
However, even with the Byzantine production of silk starting in the 6th century, Chinese varieties were still considered of better quality, a fact that is perhaps underscored by the discovery of a Byzantine solidus coin minted during the reign of Justin II found in a Sui dynasty (581-618 AD) Chinese tomb of Shaanxi province in 1953, among other Byzantine coins found at various sites.
