In comparing the text of the I.E. with that of the I.C.C., we shall find most striking and instructive variants in the lists of juratores for the several Hundreds. Take, for instance, the lists for the Hundreds of Cheveley and Staines, which follow one another in both MSS.
| I.C.C. | I.E. |
|---|---|
| caueleie | cauelai[223] |
| Ric[ardus] | Ric[ardus] prefectus huius hundreti. |
| Euerard[us] filius Brientii | Æduuard[us] homo Alb[er]ici de uer |
| Radulfus de hotot | Radulfus de hotot |
| Will[elmu]s de mara | Will[elmu]s de mara |
| Stanhardus de seuerlei | Standard[224] de seuerlaio |
| Frauuin[us] de Curtelinga | Frawinus[225] de quetelinge[226] |
| Carolus de cauelei Brunesune | Carlo de cauelaio[227] |
| Vlmar[us] homo Wigoni et o[mne]s alii franci et angli juraverunt | Wlmar' homo Wighen[228] |
The second name on these lists can be conclusively tested. For the relative entry in the I.C.C. is 'Esselei tenet euerard[us][229] filius brientii de Alberico'. This proves that the I.C.C. is right in reading 'Euerard[us]', while the I.E. is right in adding 'homo Alb[er]ici de uer'.
These are the lists for Staines Hundred.
| I.C.C. | I.E. |
|---|---|
| stane | stanas |
| Harold[us] | Alerann[us] |
| Roger[us] | Rogger[us] homo Walt[er]i giffardi[230] |
| Aleranus francigena | |
| Ric[ardus] fareman | Ric[ardus] p[ræ]fectus hui[us] hundreti |
| Farmannus | |
| Huscarl de suafham[231] | Huscarlo de suafham[231] |
| Leofuuin[us] de bodischesham | Leofuuin[us] |
| Harald homo Hard[uuini] de scalariis | |
| Alric[us] de Wilburgeham et omnes franci et angli. | Aluric[us] de Wiburgeham et alii omnes franci et angli de hoc hundreto. |
In these two lists the points to strike us are that Harold is placed first on one list and seventh on another; Aleran third on one list and first on another; and 'Fareman' distinguished more clearly in the I.E. than in the I.C.C. as a separate individual.
If we now collect from the other Hundreds some instances of instructive variants, we shall obtain important evidence.
