Notes

*Stevenson 1914, p. 695 n. 33, a very suspicious text, p. 700 n. 49, spurious; Grundy, Berks. 1925, pp. 114-17, on bounds; PN Berks., i. 10, 13, ii. 469, 475, iii. 740, 746-7, bounds describe southern part of modern parish of Ardington, which includes West Ginge; Gelling, ECTV, no. 79, authentic, bounds are probably 10th-century; Keynes 1980, pp. 54-6, 65, 'Group Two'; Keynes 1996/1, p. 117, treats as dubious, proem and sanction may be based on a text of S 92; Kelly, Abingdon, no. 58, authenticity uncertain, probably spurious
