Notes

*Stevenson 1914, p. 692 n. 16, cited; Robinson 1919, p. 9, authenticity uncertain; Stenton 1955, pp. 27-8, fragments of ancient formulas but the date impossible, incarnation year agrees with indiction but is incompatible with reference to Ecgberht of Wessex; Finberg, ECWM, no. 233, authentic, suggests Ecberht is an error for Berhtric; Hooke 1983, p. 23, on meeting-place; Hooke 1990, p. 91, on estate; Sims-Williams 1990, p. 171, accepts date and rejects allusion to peace treaty as antiquarian addition, for the beneficiary cf. S 1262 and pp. 356-7.
