549. ‘nos quoque oramus vt patri tuo dimittas iniquitatem hanc,’ C.

550. #Wið ðan(ne) ðat#, inasmuch as, seeing that: differently at

208/389.

552. This line is corrupt: Holthausen’s ‘To bidden meðe and beden bot’

gives a good sense and restores the rhyme. He compares ‘Moyses bad

meðe,’ GE 3011: see 36/126 note.

556. This line is unmetrical and otherwise difficult: #kin# should be

_sing._, #wexen# is _pl._, #manige fold# for #manigfeald# is strange.

Perhaps we should read, His kin was waxen manig fold.

557. Mätzner adds his before #sibbe#, which makes the line too long;

perhaps #cumen# is in excess.
