On the text of this line and the insertion of the date <hi>1369</hi> as a gloss in Arabic numerals, see R. W. Chambers, "The Manuscripts of <title>Piers Plowman</title> in the Huntington Library, and Their Value for Fixing the Text of the Poem," <title>Huntington Library Bulletin</title> 8 (1935): 8-9, who explains their origins and history. He suspects that the original, erroneous line in Hm's exemplar was <hi>a thousand and thre hundryd twice twenty and ten</hi>, displaying the widely attested error "20" for authorial and historical "30" (<hi>thretty</hi>) attested in LR. The Hm 128 scribe (hand2) wrote something which is now partly legible, under an erasure: <hi>th[ries twenty] & [n]yne</hi>. (Conjectured characters are inside square brackets.) The corrector erased this correctly alliterating line (though LR's <hi>twies thretty</hi> obtains more common alliteration than Hm's <hi>thries twenty</hi>) and wrote in the current <hi>sixty & nine</hi> for unknown reasons. Chambers notes that the events depicted actually occurred in 1370. In sum, Chambers as well as Kane and Donaldson think that the poet wrote: <hi>A thousand three hundred, twice thirty and ten</hi> (in Chamber's spelling). For Ralph Hanna's attribution of this date to John Bale see the <xref>Introduction, I.11 Provenance</xref>.</note>.</add></l>
