R.12.126KD.12.116 ¶ Saul for he sacrifised sorwe hym be-tydde . These lines are
omitted by the beta manuscripts. F's rendering of these lines is sufficiently different from
R's that F's lines should be cited here in their entirety (cf. Appendix 1, R12.126-36, for
details and any cross-references to the C version):

& hise sones also /
for þat synne myschevedyn
& manye mo oþire men / þat weryn none levites.
