1
Inserted above '-an oran' apparently in the same hand
2
'l' inserted in a different hand and ink
3
'l' inserted in a similar hand and ink to the main text
4
A further 'dr' or 'de' is written in a later hand above 'ne', with no expunction or insertion-marks; possibly in the same hand as the first inserted 'l'
5
'æsc' at the end of the line with 'sce' at the beginning of the next; no link-stroke after 'æsc'
6
Apparent suspension stroke over the 'm', but see notes infra
7
The 'e' could equally be 'o'
8
The 'd' is possibly erased
9
Inserted above 'ƿyrte'
10
Apparent suspension stroke over the 'n' of '-dan-' but a similar stroke occurs also over the 'f' of 'feld' below and on 'asume-' above; purpose unclear
11
The first 'e' is written over erasure
12
Inserted above 'mere', presumably to clarify a messy correction
13
With a stroke over the 'f'
