Comments:

Stevenson 1914, p. 703, seems to be genuine; Turner 1915, pp. xxxvii-ix, authentic; Wallenberg, KPN, pp. 270-1, on place-names; Harmer, Writs, p. 568, based on authentic material; Scharer 1982, pp. 105-6, 115-16, authentic basis but not genuine in present form; Kelly, St Augustine's, pp. 166-7, likely to be fundamentally authentic, probably drawn up at Minster and modelled on S 1180. Incarnation year of S 26 can be read 724 or 727; the latter would agree with the regnal year and the implication that Wihtred was dead
