Notes

*Kökeritz 1940, pp. lix-lx, suggests Etdrethcumbe = æt Thrythacumb, identified as Bowcombe; Finberg, ECW, no. 109, authentic basis, the 30 hides on the Isle of Wight lay at Calbourne in Bowcombe hundred (cf. S 274), p. 235 n., pp. 237-41, reference to Chilcomb probably an interpolation into a text drawn up at Winchester with Edgar's permission; Biddle et al. 1976, pp. 256-7, on Chilcomb; cf. S 814
