NOTES TO BOOK III.
P. 73, l. 2471. This line is too long, and the sense imperfect; but there is no doubt about the reading of the MS.
2474. _Awodith_, expels.

2480. _cled_, clad.
2487. _bygown_, begun. In the next line Stevenson has _sown_; but the true reading is _Rown_, run; as in l. 2820.
2492. _barnag_, baronage, n.o.bility.
P. 74, l. 2522. _but dulay_, without delay; _the_, they.

2619. _one to the melle socht_, made their way to the melee.
2627. _don bore_, borne down.
2630. Fifty thousand. It would appear that Galiot had 40,000, of whom 10,000 were held _in reserve_; so that in l. 2632 only 30,000 are mentioned. See l. 2569, 2647.
