C.4.25KD.4.26 Which maistries Mede · makeþ on þis erþe
R.4.25KD.4.26 Whiche maystries on eerth mede þe mayde makethR.4.25:
R's phrasing here reflects an alpha error; cf. beta's Mede maketh on þis
erthe. Not only is the alliterative pattern of beta's a-verse appropriate (where
alpha's is not); in its favor there is also the fact that Cx's a-verse
(in a revised line) is identical to beta's.
F.4.369KD.4.26Whiche Maystryes on erthe / Meede þe Maide makeþ.F.4.369: Alpha is responsible for the word order of this line. Beta manuscripts read "Whiche maistries Mede makeþ on þis
erþe."
