Comments: Turner 1916, p. xxxii, citing Stevenson, authentic; PN Warwicks., p. 233; Whitelock, pers. comm., Hickes prints this without a break after S 53, probably because it was endorsed on the original of S 53; Chaplais 1968, p. 328, proem is an adaptation of Paulinus of Nola (= 1973, p. 79); Finberg, ECWM, p. 177 n., on beneficiary, cf. S 53; Cox 1975-6, p. 23, on place-name; Sims-Williams 1976, pp. 9-10; Hart, ECNE, no. 43, authentic; Campbell 1989, p. 23, on sale of land; Sims-Williams 1990, p. 141 n. 122, p. 191, genuine; Lapidge 1993, p. 293 n., probably genuine.
+ In nomine Dei summi . Tempora temporibus subeunt , abiit et venit ætas . sola sanctorum gloria durat in Christo . Ideoque ego Ædilheardus et Ædiluueardus dabimus tibi Cudsuidæ terram quæ dicitur Ingin . v manentium quam tu a nobis proprio prætio redemisti id est dc solidis ut in tua potestate sit habendi et donandi cuicumque volueris. Si quis in hanc donationem augere voluerit ampliet Deus partem ejus in regione viventium . Si quis e contrario minuere temptaverit , evellet eum Deus dominus e regno suo et partem ejus ponet cum peccatoribus . nomina autem testium subter scripta sunt.
