  1. The punctuation here in the text is misleading, as may be readily seen by comparing this passage with what corresponds to it in the Book of Gwynedd, the Book of Blegywryd, and especially the early Latin book (Peniarth MS. 28). There should be a full stop after 'heb veſſur', without measure, in V 2 b 19; and what follows to line 21 corresponds to the separate section and subject called De dignitate regis in Peniarth MS. 28 (Anc. Laws II. 752) and to what Aneurin Owen calls elsewhere 'Am briodolion leoedd', of appropriate places (see Anc. Law I. 10, 350; also The Welsh People, pp. 199–201, where the still less 'elaborate statement' of the Book of Cyvnerth is not mentioned).
