[1]The transcription in Frampton 1924 (4-5, n. 3) differs from that presented here in the interpretation of a number of damaged and partially visible letters. The poor quality of the surviving text makes final determination of letter forms next to impossible.
[2]Nu...ælmıhtig·|] Text has been badly damaged by trimming and attempt at erasure.
[3][ge]〈hƿ〉ı{y}lı{c}·|] With <y> corrected from <ı> and <c> corrected from <ı>.
[4]〈or〉d|] Impossible to say whether this word was preceded by a <ƿ> as in the probably related W. See above, Chapter 4: Manuscripts (Bd).
[5]〈h〉rofe·|] Descender of what is probably an initial <h> is visible to the left of the <r>.
