1
The insertion is crammed in between the words; quite possibly by a later scribe
2
There is some evidence for the expunction of the 'n', but this is not clear
3
Possible accent over the 'æ'
4
Written above the line; probably by a later scribe
5
The edge of the page is covered by the paper frame
6
The 'a'-component is clearly visible; hook of 'æ' not clearly visible but the spacing suggests 'æ', not 'a'
7
The corner of the page is lost and badly warped with space for about 10 letters lost, but there seems to have been an original hole as well; see below
8
Lost in the corner of the page; a gap of about 5 characters is left deliberately after the 'ng' so apparently some of the damage was original
9
This lies across a line-break, but there is a hyphen on the base-line, though quite possibly added later
