This, however, is not as conclusive a reason as he thought, for admitting the document as authentic; and my own opinion is that it is spurious... At the same time, it is quite possible that the new names, and the details given in connection with them, are genuine. And therefore while marking them as open to question, I have, in the absence of actual disproof, included in the table opposite page 386 above such of the names as belong there.
