Part 9

l. 64. dux is here written instead of _ealdormann_. So also we find _rex_ for _cyning_.

l. 65. Sandw[=i]c, Sandwich.

l. 68. f[=e]orthe healf hund, fourth half = three and a half. This is the regular way of expressing fractional numbers, as in the German _viertehalb_.

l. 71. S[=u]thri[.g]e, Surrey.

l. 73. [=A]cl[=e]a, Ockley.

l. 76. se h[e,]re, the Danish army. _h[e,]re_ got a bad sense, through its association with _h[e,]rgian_ (to harry), and hence is applied only to a plundering, marauding body of men. In the Laws _h[e,]re_ is defined as {96} a gang of thieves more than thirty-five in number. The national English army (militia) is called _fierd_, l. 71, 3 above.

Humbrem[=u]tha, mouth of the Humber.

l. 77. Eoforw[=i]c, York; a corruption of _Eboracum_.

l. 84. inne wurdon, got in.

l. 85. sume. Compare IV. 51.

VI. KING EDMUND.

From Aelfric's Lives of the Saints, now published for the Early English Text Society by Prof. Skeat. The present life has been printed only by Thorpe, in his _Analecta Anglosaxonica_ from a very late MS. It is here given from the older MS., Cott. Jul. E. 7.

It will be observed that the present piece is in alliterative prose, that is, with the letter-rime of poetry, but without its metrical form. The alliteration is easily discernible:--c[=o]m _s_[=u]than ofer s[=ae] fram _s_ancte Benedictes _s_t[=o]we; _d_ae[.g]e, t[=o] _D_[=u]nst[=a]ne, &c.

l. 1. sancte is an English modification of the Latin genitive _sancti_.

l. 5. sancte is here the E. dative inflection, _sanct_ having been made into a substantive.

l. 39. bilew[=i]t = _*bile-hw[=i]t_ (with the regular change of _hw_ into _w_ between vowels) literally 'white (=tender) of bill,' originally, no doubt, applied to young birds, and then used metaphorically in the sense of 'gentle,' 'simple.'

l. 70. worhte fl[=e]ames. This construction of _wyrcan_ with a genitive is frequent.

l. 76. w[=ae]re, subj. Gr. 48. (6).

l. 85. f[=u]se. The correct reading is probably _f[=u]sne_, but the plural _f[=u]se_ may be taken to refer to Hinguar and his men collectively.

l. 149. [.g]ebedh[=u]s. The Welsh _bettws_, as in Bettws-y-coed = 'chapel in the wood,' still preserves the O. E. form nearly unchanged.

l. 176. sw[=a] thaet does not denote result here, but is explanatory--'namely by being bound....'

l. 178. h[=i]e, reflexive.

l. 179. thaes ... h[=u], correlative.

l. 185. The reference is apparently to Proverbs xxiv. 11, which (in the Vulgate) runs thus: 'Erue eos qui ducuntur ad mortem.'

l. 200. hwaether, (that he might see) whether ...

l. 215. l[=i]chaman, instrumental dative (Gr. 41) of defining.

l. 222. [=E]li[.g] = _[=ae]l-[=i]eg_ 'eel-island.' {97}
