Notes

*Turner 1916, p. xxxii, citing Stevenson, authentic; PN Warwicks., p. 233; Whitelock, pers. comm., Hickes prints this without a break after S 53, probably because it was endorsed on the original of S 53; Chaplais 1968, p. 328, proem is an adaptation of Paulinus of Nola (= 1973, p. 79); Finberg, ECWM, p. 177 n., on beneficiary, cf. S 53; Cox 1975-6, p. 23, on place-name; Sims-Williams 1976, pp. 9-10; Hart, ECNE, no. 43, authentic; Campbell 1989, p. 23, on sale of land; Sims-Williams 1990, p. 141 n. 122, p. 191, genuine; Lapidge 1993, p. 293 n., probably genuine.
