d later, by a different hand, and have Old Saxon
affiliations. _Genesis B_ describes the Fall of Man and also gives a new
version of the revolt and overthrow of Satan. _Genesis A_ begins again,
at line 852, with the conversation between Adam and Eve and Jehovah
(Gen. 3.8 ff.).]

[Footnote 10: line 872. I follow the divisions of the MS. This line
begins with the tenth large decorative initial, the others having
occurred at ll. 1, 82, 135, 246, 389, 442, 547, 684, and 821. Where the
editors so widely disagree as to the proper subdivisions of the poem, it
seems safer to follow the original initializing (but not the marginal
numbering of the original MS.: this skips from VII to XIII at line
440--doubtless accidentally substituting X for V--and is otherwise
irregular). Cf. footnote, page vi, sup.--For lines 869-70, cf. _Jour.
Eng. Germ. Phil._, 12.257.]

[Footnote 11: line 1022. A hemistich seems to be missing here,
metrically.]

[Footnote 12: line 1125. A hemistich seems to be missing here,
metrically.]

[Footnote 13: line 1128. I here adopt Grein's emendation, reading _leod_
for _leof_.]

[Footnote 14: line 1137. Cf. Gen. 4.26, with cross-references,
alternative translation, etc.]

[Footnote 15: line 1150. I follow Grein in supplying _wintra_ to
complete a metrically imperfect line.]

[Footnote 16: line 1199. A hemistich seems to be missing here,
metrically; and surely the sense requires the interpolation of several
lines, to record the birth of Methuselah in Enoch's 65th year. Cf. Gen.
5.21.]

[Footnote 17: line 1211. We may restore the last word of this line,
_fan_ in the MS., either as tautological _frean_, with Dietrich, or as
tautological _feran_, with Grein.]

[Footnote 18: line 1405. I follow Dietrich in reading
_edniowe = self-renewing_, for the meaningless _edmonne_ in the MS.]

[Footnote 19: line 1492. This difficult passage may be clarified by
reading _ethryethe = strength, copious power_, in place of the meaningless
_ethridda = third_, in the MS., and at the same time making _
