Oddly, calling these guesses what they are make them more reliable. Snyder won't say with certainty what he doesn't know with certainty, and the reader gets the impression that if he can be trusted when he's unsure, he can be trusted when he's sure. Snyder is a very careful historian, and I recommend this book.
