Comments: Hart, ECEE, no. 165 and pp. 202-3, authentic, discusses diplomatic similarities with S 948; Whitelock 1969, p. 113, may be acceptable in substance, but the royal style is odd and the formulas include some of Edgar's time, possibly refers to New Minster in Winchester; King 1973, p. 10; Keynes 1980, p. 126 n. 136, on formulation, cf. S 948.
