Latin but is clearly based on genuine Old English material; there have been many distortions during the transmission of the text, so interpretation is tentative Back to text 2 This Welsh element 'cors' is clearly already a place-name here (cp. the river-name Corse); it may be the stream now known as Gauze Brook Back to text 3 'riparia' is a late Latin term for a waterway Back to text 4 The name survives in Somerford Back to text 5 Cp. 'henne pole' in S1587 (L1587.0, bounds of Rodbourne) Back to text 6 Note that here and elsewhere, OE 'dic' and Latin 'fossatum' can mean both 'ditch' and 'dyke' Back to text 7 The name survives in Startley (Farm) Back to text 8 In this manuscript, 'u' and 'n' are frequently confused, so this could be for OE 'bean' (bean); but equally, we might see 'beo' (bee) or 'beaw' (gadfly) behind this place-name; in any case there appears to be miscopying somewhere along the line Back to text 9 Note that there is a 'duddinges folde' in S1583 (L1583.0, bounds of Grittenham in Brinkworth) Back to text 10 This is a word for word translation, so the word order obviously needs jiggling in places Back to text 11 Although this may well instead be a personal name Back to text 12 Possible personal name Back to text 13 The name survives in Twatley (Farm) Back to text 14 A personal name cited in PASE Back to text 15 MSS 2 and 3 read 'que' after 'aquam' Back to text 16 The name survives in Ingelburne (Manor) Back to text 17 Cidda is tentatively cited in PASE Back to text 18 Minim resolution is difficult, but the 'u' is clearly distinguished from 'n' here, allowing the possibility that this represents OE 'wifa' (women's), or more plausibly 'wifel' (beetle) with the final 'l' lost before the following two consonants Back to text 19 This could formally be Eastmund's 'tun', although 'stone' is more likely in the context Back to text 20 MS 3 reads kemeleshage': 'haga' is frequently used in the bounds in this context Back to text 21 Chelworth Back to text 22 Cp.'etinges haele' in S1579 (L1579.0), bounds of Chelworth near Crudwell Back to text 23 Cp.'deyburteh heye' in L1579.0; the fact that this can only really be deduced from piecing the evidence from two pretty mangled texts together shows how tentative all these solutions must remain Back to text 24 Cp.'coles leye' in L1579.0; but note that 'col(l)' also occurs as a stream-name and coll (hill) cannot be absolutely ruled out Back to text 25 Cp. 'primewaldes putte' in S1582 (L1582.0, bounds of Eastcourt); this looks like a personal name, although the first element 'Prim-' is not otherwise recorded Back to text 26 Cp. 'pohan leye' in S1582 (L1582.0, bounds of Eastcourt, Wilts.) and 'pohe leye' in S1584 (L1584.0, bounds of Murcott in Crudwell); this may relate to OE 'pohha' in some topographical or other extented sense or represent an otherwise unrecorded personal name Back to text 27 The qualifying terms for OE 'stybb/stubb' in the boundaries are predominantly trees, so this may alternatively be a mangling of 'withig' (willow) Back to text 28 Apparently of pre-English origin (PNWilts, p. 11) Back to text 29 Perhaps a 'beorg' (barrow) with the letters misplaced Back to text 30 I.e. 'from that fruit tree' Back to text 31 Apparently 'gærs' (grass) rather than 'gear' (fish-yair), as this appears to be the earlier name for Woodbridge Brook (cp. 'Geres burne' in LS1576 (L1576.0, bounds of Brinkworth, Wilts.), and PnWilts. p. 11); but the form here appears to be '*gear' Back to text 32 For 'becham'?, or did the earlier text read 'be tham hamme' (by the meadow)? Back to text 33 I.e. 'continuously along the water' Back to text 34 MS 4 reads 'limeshule' Back to text 35 MS 'coueres' shows misreading of 'e' as 'c' somewhere in the transmission Back to text 36 Note 'sandeheye/?heþe' in S1576 (L1576, bounds of Brinkworth) and 'sond heþe/heye' in S1578 (L1578, bounds of Charlton) Back to text
