1
Sic '<ŧ>'
2
Crossed through
3
Ambiguous letter form, but much closer to the scribe's usual 'o' than 'e'
4
This scribe represents 'æ' by the letters 'et', so this is written, and may be intended as, 'nettican'
5
Sic 'p'
6
Or 'mettican'; sic 'm'
7
'þ' misread as 'b', as occurs elsewhere in this manuscript
8
'm' altered from 'n'. This scribe's 'y's regularly have a horizontal stroke above them, but it is theoretically possibly that here the stroke reflects a suspension (hȳlam)
9
Or 'nettican'
10
Ditto
11
Ditto
12
Emendation by main scribe
13
Or 'nettican'
14
Apparently 'n' altered to 'm' then back to 'n'
15
From the next text onwards, starting fo. 154v, 'h' is used for both 'h' and 'þ', so this could possibly be 'þryddes'
