Notes

*Sweet, OET, p. 457 (no. 54); Stevenson 1914, p. 703, authentic; Wallenberg, KPN, pp. 133-40, on place-names; Wright 1950, pp. 392-3; Du Boulay 1961, pp. 1-2, on bounds; Ch.L.A., iv, p. xviii, on script, 'chancery minuscule'; Rumble 1976, p. 175, on a swine-pasture; Witney 1976, pp. 219-20, on swine-pastures; Keynes 1993/1, p. 114 n. 23, seems to be a forgery modelled on S 176.
