1
The unclear readings in this text are mainly due to damage along the folds
2
Much is lost to the damage, but the tip of the through-stroke of 'ð' is visible
3
Sic 'ð'
4
Sic
5
Damage to parchment leaves a gap of 3 characters length which may contain a now lost punctus
6
'f' inserted above the line probably by the main hand
7
'r' inserted above the line probably by the main hand
8
This may read 'dic', but what now looks like a punctus may well be the tip of the stroke of an 'e'
9
Ascender of 'þ' lost together with following character
10
Sic 'ð'
11
Sic; clearly written as 'p' for 'ƿ'
12
Parchment quite damaged: this could equally be 'd'
13
No punctus visible, but the parchment is damaged
14
Through-stroke of 'ð' lost
15
Sic; the 'þ' is very clear
16
A gap of about 2 characters' length here but it's unclear if it's lost to the fold or a gap left for the fold
