Notes
*PN Oxon., i. 222; Hart, ECEE, no. 2, spurious, probably modelled on S 1167, identifies Slępi as St Ives, Hunts.; Whitelock 1969, p. 112, Slępi is Islip; Sims-Williams 1975, p. 3 n. 2, internal contradictions, may have been forged in 864 on basis of S 1167; Cox 1976, p. 23, on place-name; Gelling, ECTV, no. 258, perhaps some authentic basis, Slępi is Islip; Whitelock, EHD, pp. 375, 483, cites as earliest genuine Anglo-Saxon charter extant in a cartulary but notes that the witnesses were copied from S 1167; Scharer 1982, p. 34 n. 73, forged under the influence of S 1167; Wormald 1985, p. 25, broadly trustworthy; Edwards 1988, pp. 211-14, 216-18, wording of charter entirely genuine, cartularist may simply have copied the wrong witness-list by mistake; Blair 1994, p. 78, cited.
