The time that the snapshot was taken might be useful; I can't think
of anything else that would be. The main thing would be to include
the relation, with an indication that it's not necessarily true
that access to *any* part of the relation would be a problem.
Mentioning the block number would tend to support that idea, and
might be of some use.
