Exeter, Devon, Cathedral church of St Peter: "Hunc librum dat Leofricus episcopus ecclesie sancti petri apostoli in exonia ubi sedes episcopalis est ad utilitatem successorum suorum. Si quis illum abstulerit inde. subiaceat maledictioni. Fiat." (fol. 77v); also OE version. A similar inscription to part 2, on fol. 78r, see Summary Catalogue 2455.
