Comment:: At lines 620-24 the sentence beginning 'ic gewilnode' reflects the normal word-order of the Latin (lines 603-07), as found in Cotton Claudius A. i, rather than that found in existing copies of the Cotton-Corpus Legendary, in which the elements of the sentence appear in a different order.

Manuscript:: London, British Library, Cotton Claudius A. i, 76v-84v (s. x, med.)
Comment:: At line 672 there is an instance where the OE agrees, unexpectedly, with a reading in the 'mixed' Lipomanus version of the Vita, against the texts in the Cotton Corpus Legendary, Cotton Claudius and other witnesses: 'forneah' translates 'paene' (Lipomanus 1553, f.389v), which does not appear in the other versions of the Latin but can be shown to derive from the Greek original.
