Notes I, Nunna, king of the South Saxons, for the good of my soul, will give Beadufrith and the brothers who live in the island called Selsey (where I wish my body to rest) certain lands of my realm, that is Heritun 4 hides, and in Bracklesham 4 hides, and in Sidlesham 3, with all things pertaining thereto, woods, fields, meadows, rivers; we give these things gladly in the presence of the most reverend bishop Eolla, as well as my abbots and thegns in concourse. But it anyone with tyrannous pride attempts (to act) against his decree, let him know that he shall give account at the terrible judgement before Christ. This generous gift was written down in the 714th year from the Incarnation of Christ.
