Comments:

Stevenson 1914, p. 692 n. 16, doubtful or spurious; Stenton 1918, p. 438 n. 24, obvious forgery (= Stenton 1970, p. 52 n. 5); Barker 1947, p. 73; John 1960, pp. 8, 47; John 1966, p. 91, mainly authentic; Edwards 1988, p. 296, spurious endorsement to S 45; Kelly, Selsey, pp. 15-22, probably authentic, should be treated as an addition to S 45, rather than as a separate document
