- 1
- Illegible readings are due to water damage and to a hole down the middle of the added slip of parchment on which this text is written
- 2
- Parchment damaged above the 'æ'
- 3
- There is a punctus after 'balde' at the end of the line, with a further punctus at the beginning of the next line before 'næsces'
- 4
- No sign of abbreviation over the 'æ'
- 5
- Punctus at end of line, with further punctus at beginning of next line
- 6
- No sign of suspension stroke
- 7
- Punctus at end of line after 'dic' and small punctus at beginning of line before 'Of'
- 8
- There is a deliberate erasure at this point: all that remain decipherable are 2 or 3 characters, then a space, then an ascender followed by 'a' and then 8 or so characters
- 9
- The first character is not 'g'; it is identical to the 'b' in 'balde' a few lines above; it could possibly be followed by '-rim-', but looks more like '-run-'
