Notes
*HS, pp. 478-80, probably spurious; Stevenson 1914, p. 692 n. 16, p. 702, spurious; Williams 1917, pp. 11-12, spurious; PN Middx, p. 65; Gelling, ECTV, no. 162 (pp. 80-1, 101), spurious, although first third of text may be genuine; Scharer 1982, pp. 272-3, spurious; Keynes 1993, pp. 260, 263, on MS 1, p. 272 n. 54, on dating; Cubitt 1995, pp. 273-4, blatant forgery but witness-list may be sound.
Note. MS 1 (not yet printed) includes a vernacular statement of privileges and vernacular bounds for Cassio.
