In many places where I have restored erased entries, the entry is only partly readable. In these cases the restored entry is supplemented from *G.
MS. geodon <text>
From comparison with *G, the alterations to A must have occurred after G was copied. As all recensions, except E, agree on the length of Octauianus's reign, I suggest that the reading in E is faulty. I think that .xlii. is the better reading for the year of Christ's birth. <text>
Her has been erased, and 7 inserted over the erasure, probably by Scribe 8. Presumably he assumed that the annal number for this entry was following Scribe 1's space saving policy. <text>
Erased; se *G; Petrus se apostol C; apostol Petrus DE. <text>
The annal number has been altered to 45, and a new annal number 44 inserted on the line above in another hand (8?). <text>
The annal number has been altered to 46. <text>
The annal number has been altered to 47. The original annal number 47 has been erased from the top of folio 2r. <text>
For some reason this word has been split across two lines with senda immediately below þu. There would have been ample room to put the whole word on 2ra27. <text>
This annal number at 2rb1 has been altered to 84, presumable because 83 also appeared at the bottom of 2ra. <text>
This annal number has been altered to 87, and annal numbers 85 and 86 inserted above. <text>
original reading changed to him wærþ tiþod by Scribe 8. <text>
This annal has been annotated with sic etiam in historia saxonica Petroburg by Joscelyn <text>
This annal has been annotated with sic etiam in historia saxonica Petroburg by Joscelyn <text>
original reading Mauricius changed to Martianus in another hand, probably Scribe 8. *G has Mauricius; E has Martianus <text>
original reading changed to Æfter þan þæt lond wearð in another hand, probably Scribe 8. *G has Æfter wæs þæt lond; E has þan wæs þæt land <text>
7 Stuf in another hand. *G has Stuf; E has 7 Stuf <text>
original reading changed to eall Wiht ealandby Scribe 8. *G has Wihte ealond; E has eall Wihtland <text>
original reading .v. changed to .vi. in a later hand. *G, BC have .v.; E has .vi. <text>

Inserted over a hole in the manuscript in a modern hand, possible Wheloc <text>
It is not certain whether cinges (inserted inter-linearly) was intended as part of the text or as a gloss. <text>
This erased text (in hand 1a) corresponds to annal 851 7 þy ... gefliemdon which similarly follows sige namon. <text>
Supplied from BCDE. friþ wiþ BC; wið frið DE. <text>
Added in another hand (possibly 2c). þær þa wearþ DE and *G; þær wearþ BC. <text>
This annal number is the last thing written by in Hand 1. The remaining three lines of folio 16r have been left blank. This annal number caused a later scribe to erroneously add one to the entries between 892 and 940, obviously thinking that the first entry on folio 16v was for 892, and that the duplicated annal number 892 that followed should be 893. <text>
Hand 2a starts here. <text>
