We show in this note that such a matrix is in fact S--equivalent to the Seifert matrix of a hyperbolic knot. This result follows from reinterpreting this problem in terms of Blanchfield pairings and by applying results of Kawauchi.4 pages, to be published by the Journal of Knot Theory and its RamificationsGeometric Topology57M25text
