[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⟩ylc·|] 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>.
