[ FOOTNOTES

2. ? MS. perhaps _Angecye_.

3. The _s_ is rubbed: the word may be "onlesbury."

5. _sepe_, ? for _seue_, seven. It is _p_ not _x_ (six) in the MS.
But as Arthur had 200,000, and Lucius only 400,124, _sepe_ should
mean _two_.

8. Pughe's abridged Dictionary gives _tau_, _v.a._ be still; _taw_,
_s.m._ and _adj._ quiet, silence, silent; _paid_, _s.m._ a cessation,
quiet; _bront_, _a._ nasty, filthy, surly. _Or_, says Dr. Benj.
Davies, you must take as equal to the modern Welsh _wr_, man, if it
is not English; _peyd_ is cease, pause; _taw_, be silent. ]
