Some Latin scribal abbreviationsin this text can be tentatively expanded: dimid' seems to be short for dimidio, ann' for anno, Dñs for Dominus, Dñi for Domini, Dño for Domino, p' for pro, p'misit for promisit, 'p for pre, and q' for que.Greek letters have been retained as printed. The spelling of νόμεσθαι, as taken over from Stolbergius, seems to be a typographical error forνέμεσθαι.
