St. 159

p. 64, l. 1846. Perhaps we ought to read ebbyng instead of eb, according to l. 223; one can hardly say, that ‘the sea is eb.’

St. 169

p. 68, l. 1961. Instead of A I should prefer to read The, because this griffon is the same which robbed the child before.

St. 171

p. 69, l. 1982. Of what lond that he is left, i.e. ‘Wherever he may be born.’

St. 172

p. 69, l. 1991 f. Cf. Ipomadon, l. 50 f.:

‘He sayd: Fro tyme he kepe tham con,

My landes I shall hym take.’

St. 173

p. 70, l. 2002. It is good in euery fight, i.e. there is a stone in the ring which heals wounds, if they are touched with it; cf. Kölbing’s note to Ipomadon, l. 8018.

p. 70, l. 2010. Halliwell, p. 306, explains disparlid by ‘beaten down, destroyed,’ a meaning which is not fit for this passage. I read with a slight addition disparplid = ‘dispersed,’ a rare word; cf. Stratmann, p. 156.
