346/4; OEH ii. 51/10, 133/10.

9. #lihnide# is probably a miswriting of lihinde as in R, lying,

deceptive: ME. lihen, OE. #lēogan#, but it is possibly a _pp._ of ME.

lihnen, OE. #līgnian#, to deny. #eche#: supply lif.

11. #of munne#, commemorate: usually transitive in this sense as, ‘þis

meiden þe we munnid wes marherete ihaten,’ SM 2/13, but comp. ‘His deope

wounden bledeth fast, | Of hem we ohte munne,’ Lyric Poetry, ed. Wright,

112/22.

12. #i Nichomedese burh#: ‘in civitate Nicomedia’: the adjectival

termination is Anglo-French -eis as in Hispaneis, L. Hispanensis: the

scribe has ‘Nichomedesse,’ 77/9: ‘iþe Nomecuðe burh Nicomede inempnet,’

79/9. In Sammlung AE. Legenden, ed. Horstmann, 51/628, Ianuesse means

Genoa; Arimminence 20/784, Rimini; Iponence, 79/1046, Hippo.
