Chapter IV: Samson

From Aelfric's translation of the Book of Judges in Thwaites' Heptateuch.

l. 8. on[.g]inth t[=o] [=a]l[=i]esenne, will release, _on[.g]innan_ is often used pleonastically in this way.

l. 35. Gaza [.g]eh[=a]ten. When a name together with _[.g]eh[=a]ten_ is put in apposition to another noun it is left undeclined, contrary to the general principle (Gr. 42. 6).

l. 41. sw[=a] sw[=a] h[=i]e belocenu w[=ae]ron, locked as they were.

ufeweardum th[=ae]m cnolle. Gr. 43. 2.

l. 46. waes, consisted.

l. 51. [.g]eworhte. We should expect _[.g]eworhtum_ (Gr. 42. 5). Perhaps the nom. is due to confusion with the construction with a relative clause--_the of sinum [.g]eworhte sind_. {95}

l. 74. Dagon [.g]eh[=a]ten. Compare l. 35. swelce, 'on the ground that'--'because (as they said).'

l. 81. h[=e]ton. Compare l. 106.

l. 87. forth is often used pleonastically in this way with _mid_.
