- ↑ £ is not quite clear ; nn might be read im, Gwynn
- ↑ the letter after a is probably I, possibly horh; the next letter is quite blurred ; it , might be an or more likely the siglum for us ; the following letter is probably c, but the letter is torn, and it may be h, Gwynn
- ↑ the line seems to begin with o, but there are perhaps two letters before it ; then come two or three blurred letters, which look like om ; then apparently nm; but the vi is peculiar, and it might be ip, with the tail of p gone; for nvi might possibly be read iro, Gwynn
- ↑ the /i is a httle doubtful, Gwynn
- ↑ for the construction cf. Vol. i, p. 287, note f
