  "abstract": "An important property of the quasi-spherical Szekeres cosmological model appears to be widely misunderstood in the literature. In this paper, the claim that the matter density can be fully decomposed on a given 2-shell into a dipole superposed on a monopole is shown to be inaccurate and exact propositions are substituted. Then, the multipole decompositions of three different quantities linked to the mass density are displayed and proposed to constrain the Szekeres parameters with observed data. A test of the axial symmetry assumption, together with that of an on-axis observer, using a property of the angular coefficients is also suggested.",
