 Based on his writing, he is speculated to have died very early in the 2nd [[CSR]], as his last chapters describe events in the end of the 1st [[CSR]], most notably the rule of [[Gened]], and never betray the knowledge of anything beyond 105 [[SR]].
-Porteek's writing is noted for careful analysis and his focus on considering several explanations, listing his sources and providing reasoning around their reliability. In this he is usually contrasted with [[Ludoh]], who was a more prolific author of the era, but whose sources are rarely listed and who tends to state hypotheses as fact.

+Porteek's writing is noted for careful analysis and his focus on considering several explanations. He clearly had access to a considerable collection of sources, made sure to mention them and comment on their reliability.

None of Porteek's sources have survived, but the list of sources is at the very least helpful to realize the extent of early Tarnarian literature that was lost, most probably due to the spread of [[Mōroh]].
 He nonetheless held strong opinions about certain events and people. Specifically, even his dry description of the life of [[Sopoh Dolysoh]] betrays his disapproval of both Sopoh's massacre of [[Meledesians]] and [[Bonten|Bonten's]] betrayal of [[Doroh Hun]]. The latter is interesting, since the story is outlined in the third volume, with the first two volumes describing many betrayals which don't seem to worry Porteek very much. He is also quite dismayed by Gened, which to some suggests that Porteek had a different standard for the founders of states and enjoyed casting a critical eye on their achievements.

 Some researchers suggest that Porteek disapproved of rebels who upended the traditional way of life. Founders such as Sopoh and Gened were such rebels, especially Gened. In a similar fashion, Porteek mounts criticism against [[Oskodon]], making a fairly farfetched case that by challenging [[Opol Dolysoh]] and ending up being defeated, Oskodon is responsible for the rise of [[Oaleed]] and their prolonged conflict with Toor.
-Porteek was the last historian of the second revolution to approach history as a strictly academic subject. Mlan, one of the first analytical historians of the third revolution, held Porteek in high regard and named him as an inspiration.
