p. 59, l. 2057. «amapide», miswritten for «awapide» (Herrtage), “astounded, bewildered.” Cf. Stratmann, p. 10.—Mätzner, «Wörterbuch», p. 150, connects it with Goth. «afhvapjan», “to suffocate.” We find «m» written for «w» several times in our poem; thus we read «ga»m«ylokes» for «ga»w«ylokes» in l. 2650, and «ro»m«me» for «ro»w«me» in l. 876. p. 60, l. 2085. «Assyne.» The rhyme shows that «Assye» is the true reading. «Assye» occurs in ll. 102, 123. p. 60, l. 2093. «wone», “heap, plenty.” O.Icel. «wân». See Zupitza’s note to «Guy», p. 444. p. 61, l. 2119. «Brenlande.» It ought to be «Breuland» or «Brouland»; see above note to l. 1743. p. 61, l. 2120. The first foot in the line consists of the single word «what». Thus in ll. 2288, 2374, 2394, etc. p. 62, l. 2145. «Espyarde.» This name only occurs in this poem. In «Syr Ferumbras», l. 3824, the messenger sent to the bridge-keeper is called Malyngryas. There is no name mentioned in the French «Fierabras», l. 4265. p. 62, l. 2156. «That no man by the brigge.» There is no verb in the sentence. Perhaps we ought to read «that no man passe by the brigge», or, «that no man passe the brigge». p. 63, l. 2191. Cf. the description of the giant in «Fierabras», ll. 4740–4755, and «Syr Ferumbras», ll. 4435–4441. p. 63, l. 2199. «nolde not.» See note to l. 1096. p. 64, l. 2225. The line is too long. «Wilde» can be dispensed with, and instead of «horses» we may read «hors»; cf. Skeat, Gloss. to «Prioress’s Tale» (Clarendon Press), «s. v.» hors. p. 64, l. 2233. «a magnelle», “a mangonel,” an ancient military engine used for battering down walls (Halliwell). «Magnelle» is the O.Fr. «Mangonel», or «Mangoneau», the Italian «manganello» (= “arbalist, cross-bow”). The latter is the diminutive form of «mangano», “a sling;” Greek, μαγγανον. See Diez, «Etym. Wörterb.», I. 261. p. 64, l. 2238. «Cornel» or «carnel», Fr. «carnel», Mod.Fr. «créneau», “battlement, pinnacle.” Literally it means, “a piece carved out,” «i. e.» of the wall on the top of a building; the French verb «carneler» or «creneler» signifying, “to carve out, to jag, to notch.” «Carnel» is derived from Latin «crena» (See Diez, «Gramm.», I. 14), which means “a notch, a cut, an incision” (Diez, «Etym. Wörterb.», II. 266). Thus «carnel» came to denote a battlement or indented parapet; or more [p126] exactly it was applied to those parts of the wall projecting upwards between the openings or embrasures. It was one of these projecting portions that was here knocked down. Cf. also «Syr Ferumbras», l. 3314. p. 65, l. 2245. The line is too long. Perhaps «or he hit» may be dispensed with. p. 65, l. 2247. The episode of Marsedag being slain by Guy is not found in any other poem of this romance. p. 65, l. 2271. «Alkaron», “the Koran,” «al» is the Arabic article. There is a god named Alcaron occurring in l. 2762.
