Notes

*Stenton 1913, p. 38, spurious; PN Berks., iii. 718-19, spurious; Gelling, ECTV, nos 34, 35, spurious; Keynes 1980, p. 11 n. 16, on formulation; Dumville 1992, p. 168 n. 182, spurious; Kelly, Abingdon, no. 27, spurious.

Notes: Birch was confused by the relative order of S 408 and S 410 in the MSS. In MS 2 S 408 is followed by an abbreviated version of S 410, while in MS 1 S 410 is followed by an abbreviated version of S 408. Both texts are essentially identical, except for the name and hidage of the estate, and a reference to bounds in S 410
