Date of autocephaly and from whom?[edit]

In which year did the GOC become autocephalous?
CNEWA has 467.
Two journalistic sources have 484 (1, 2)
Britannica has between 474 and 491.
This article has 1010 without any reference, and I am unable to find any source online which supports this 1010 date.
The article on this Church of the The Encyclopedia of Eastern Orthodox Christianity has no date for autocephaly.
Could anyone shed some light on this? Veverve (talk) 16:18, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Also, from what I read at fr:Exarchat de Géorgie which uses History of Georgia : from ancient times to the present day, p. 42, as a source (which I could not check), apparently the GOC was originally part of the Church of Constantinople and not of the Church of Antioch. Can anyone confirm or infirm this? Veverve (talk) 21:14, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Note: I added a ref for the 1010 date and mention of those date disrepancies in the article. Veverve (talk) 23:54, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Note: I have asked on the Georgian Wikipedia here for those who may be interested. Veverve (talk) 16:28, 15 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Grdzelidze, Tamara (2010). "Orthodox Church, Eastern: In Georgia". In Patte, Daniel (ed.). The Cambridge Dictionary of Christianity. Cambridge University Press. p. 896. ISBN 978-0-521-52785-9. states:

First under the jurisdiction of the See∗ of Antioch∗, it [the Georgian Orthodox Church] became autocephalous∗ (self-governing, led by a catholicos∗) from the 480s but was still linked with the "mother church" of Antioch until the 740s, when it started confirming a locally elected catholicos. The full separation from Antioch took place in the 11th c. Catholicos Melkisedek I (1010–33) was made the first patriarch of all Georgia.
