How sources are handled
- Attested. A near-contemporary text, an inscription, or archaeology supports the claim.
- Traditional. Later memory or hagiography carries the claim.
- Disputed. Scholars still argue, and both sides stay on the page.
- Hostile source. The main ancient witness wrote against the people being described.
