Fulgencius in gestis romanorum: quidam rex duos habuit filios, quorum senior cum patre in pallacio fuit; Iunior vero in castro pernoctauit periculoso. cui pater litteras 5. transcripsit. prima erat ista, sic:

sinne & folye [MS. may be 'fulþe.'] only for-sake; to clennesse of lif, for mi loue tac.

2^a fuit ista, sic:

4^ta erat ista sic:
