Rulers

The line of monarch.

ending not on record

Ruler	Reign	Length	How it ended · source	To the ruler before
Kirada	335 – 345	10 years	ending not on record

3 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 335 – 345. Only 10 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

Ground held, by year

km² inside its borders as the borders dataset draws them, measured on an equal-area grid; a step series, held between the years the dataset maps.

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 2 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
