[¹⁹⁵] 'Annui fiscales redditus ... ad sexaginta millia marcarum summam implebant.'

[¹⁹⁶] 'Sexaginta millia peditum' (p. 4).

[¹⁹⁷] 'Sexaginta millia silinas de frumento, sexaginta millia de hordeo, sexaginta millia de vino' (Richard of Devizes, ed. Howlett, p. 396).

[¹⁹⁸] 'Sexaginta accipitur indefinite de magno numero. Sexcenti saepe usurpatur pro numero ingenti et indefinito' (Forcellini, Totius Latinitatis Lexicon).

[¹⁹⁹] 'Bis sex sibi millia centum' (Carmen de bello Hastingensi).

[²⁰¹] '[1235] Sicut Stephanus Segrave ... asserebat et affirmabat vetus scutagium ad xxxii. millia scuta assumabatur et irrotulabatur; et ad tantundem plene et plane potuit novum scutagium de novis terris assumari' (Ann. Monast., i. 364).

[²⁰²] 'Nine thousand for all England would be a large estimate at any time of the twelfth century' (Early and Middle Ages, i. 375).
