9. Henry returned to S. Jean. Hugo says he made a good end. His successor, Martin de Vecti, native of the Isle of Wight, usually called Martin de Bec, first prior after its second foundation of St. Neots, a cell to Bec, was received by the monks on June 29th, 1132. #S’# = seint, sometimes sein; a French fashion. In MS. E, from 1066 to 1122, where a new section begins, _sc̄e_ for sancte is normal and frequent, exceptions being Octab{us} sc͞i Martini 1114, Octab{us} sc͞i Joh{ann}is 1117, while sc͞e Marie is treated as a genitive depending on words like _nativitas_. From 1122 to 1131, S’ is regular save for three entries in 1125 and sc͞e Marie twice as genitive. #neod# = Neotus may be due to the Anglo-Norman tendency to substitute _d_ for final _t_ (Stimming, Boeve de Haumtone, 221). The pronunciation persisted, for in the church of St. Neots in Cornwall, whence the body of the saint was stolen by the people of St. Neots in Huntingdonshire, there is a tablet over his tomb with verses said to have been written in the sixteenth century, in which occurs the line ‘The vulgar call it now St. Need’s’ (Gorham, History of Eynesbury, 340). Sancti Neothi occurs twice in a document, Palaeograph. Society, First Series, pl. 193. The name is now pronounced like mod. Eng. neats. 10. Comp. ‘An preost wes on leoden[;] Laȝamon wes ihoten,’ L 1: ‘he co{m} to þere dune oliueti his ihaten,’ OEH i. 3/5. This paratactic construction with _hatan_ is confined to names of persons and places; it is colloquial and does not involve ellipsis of a relative. 11. #mid micel wurscipe#: ‘cum magno honore et gaudio,’ Hugo, 75: comp. 8/93, 11/188, 197, 207, 108/241. 13. #gære#: 1133 A.D. The eclipse took place on August 2nd ‘ð oþer dei’; it lasted ‘ab hora fere 3 usque ad horam 6,’ Liebermann, Anglo-Normannische Geschichtsquellen, 79. Henry died at Lions-la-Forêt on the night of December 1st, 1135, and was buried January 6th, 1136. 18. #sua dide#: Comp. ‘sua diden’ 10/152; ‘swa ibeoð’ 14/70: similar are 8/84, 110, 9/115, 10/165, 176, 12/v. 5, 140/30, 146/117, 215/27, 217/97. The subject is often omitted when it would represent the same thing as a noun or pronoun in an oblique case in the preceding clause or phrase, as at 16/122, 45/239, 98/71, 102/133, 118/42, 128/5, 140/25, 207/354, 217/94; see KH 1268 note. 19. #Andreas# is the Vulgate form. 20. #þe mihte#: comp. 8/81. 21. #sune . . . frend#: Robert of Gloucester and Hugh, archbishop of Rouen, were at his death-bed. 22. ‘Corpus eius . . . apud Radingum in monasterio cuius ipse devotus fundator largusque ditator exstiterat, sepultum est,’ William of Newbury, 30. #Redinge#, L. Radingia.
