The linked authority identifier is Q13636718. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1991 and 2019.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account.
