Notes

START:*HYPOTHESIS: Amos' time of prophecy began shortly after the sole reign of Azariah (Uzziah) began. Archaeological evidence at Hazor establishes the time of the earthquake (AMO 1:1) around 760-750 BCE. [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p74] END:*HYPOTHESIS: Amos' time of prophecy ended shortly it began.

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
