[Footnote 52: Thus 'In Branmmeswelle ... lxx. liberi homines
unde abbas habuit sacam et socam et commendatio _et omnes
consuetudines_ ... In eadem villa iiii. liberi homines[*] unde
abbas habuit sacam et socam et commendationem' (p. 161).]
[Footnote *: 'Commend' abbati' (D.B., ii 387 _b_).]
[Footnote 53: _Inq. Com. Cant._, 192-5. see paper on it,
_infra_.]
[Footnote 54: 'In soca et commendatione abbatis de eli'
(D.B., ii. 441).]
[Footnote 55: 'Soca et commendatione tantum' (D.B.).]
[Footnote 56: 'iiii. liberi homines soca et commendatione
tantum' (D.B.).]
[Footnote 57: 'T.R.E. ad socham' (D.B.).]
[Footnote 58: 'Recep'' (D.B., ii. 238).]
[Footnote 59: The _Breve Abbatis_ records 34.]
[Footnote 60: _Ibid._, 7.]
[Footnote 61: I.C.C., fo. 110 (_b_) 1. Cf. D.B., I. 199 (_a_)
2, and I.E., p. 110.]
[Footnote 62: 'Socam comes Algarus habuit' = 'soca remansit
comiti Algaro'. See, for instance, the similar case in which
a 'man' of Earl Waltheof 'terram suam dare vel vendere potuit,
sed abbas de Rameseia socam habuit' (I.C.C., fo. 122, _b_,
2), where D.B. has: 'dare potuit, sed soca remansit abbati de
Ramesy' (i. 202, _b_, 1).]
[Footnote 63: 'Et in eadem villa iii. liberi homines ...
de quibus abbas non habebat nisi commendationem: soca in
kanincghala regis.']
[Footnote 64: 'Hanc terram tenuit godmundus homo comitis
Waltevi; soca vero remansit abbati ely' (p. 115).]
[Footnote 65: 'Unum liberum hominem unde abbas habet sacam et
socam tantum' (p. 140).]
[Footnote 66: _Domesday Studies_, p. 556.]
[Footnote 67: _Inq. El._, pp. 140, 141.]
[Footnote 68: _Domesday Studies_, p. 209.]
[Footnote 69: _Domesday Studies_, p. 187.]
[Footnote 70: It is essential to bear in mind that the
Domesday scribes had nothing to guide them but the bare words
of the return, so that if they thus equated these expressions,
they can only have done so because the rule was of universal
application.]
[Footnote 71: _Archæological Review_, vol. i, p. 286.]
[Footnote 72: Compare also the Exon. Domesday, where
'Stoches', which is entered 'pro. ii. virgatis et dim.'
appears in D.B. as 'dim. hida et dim. virga'.]
[Footnote 73: See below, and _ante_, p. 17, note.]
[Footnote 74: _Key to Domesday_, p. 14.]
[Footnote 75: It is to this evidence that I made allusion
in _Domesday Studies_ (p. 225). Similar evidence as to the
Domesday carucate is found in the _Inq. El._ (Ed. Hamilton,
pp. 156, 178) where 'lx. acre' equate 'dim. c[arucata]'.]
