Ending with the rubric : " Cronica in ecclesia sancti Pauli Londoniis 

 scripta per manus fratris [yerh. ras."] anno gratie m°cc° nonaginta quinto in 

 festo pentecostes." 



The Chronicles are followed by a number of chronological data, including 

 the following : 



(1) " A fundacione ecclesie sancti Pauli Londoniis per Athelbertum 

 regem m°cxxvi (sic).^' 



(2) "A conversione Anglorum per beatum Augustinum, dcxcix." 



(3) " Ab adventu Normannorum in Angliam, ccxxv." 



Of these (1) is evidently erroneous; (2) gives the date 597 + 699 = 1296; 

 arid (3) gives 1066 + 225 = 1291.
