Þǣr wearþ Hēahmund biscop ofslæġen ond fela gōdra monna.
Wiht þæt ēaland is þrīttiġ mīla lang ēast and west, and twelf mīla brād sūð and norð.
Ōswald wæs Ēadwines nefa þæs æðelan cyninges, his sweostor sunu.
Nacode wē wǣron ācennede and nacode wē ġewītað.
Hīe ġedēmdon þone Hǣlend tō dēaðe þurh lēase ġewitnesse.
Hīe ongunnon of bogan strǣlas bitere sendan.
On þissum ġēare cōm miċel hǣðen here on Angelcynnes land.
And on þȳs ilcan ġēare cōm se stranga winter mid forste and mid snāwe and mid eallum unwederum.
Þā cōm Timotheus sum cēne heretoga mid fyrde.
Ðā wīċingas fērdon ǣġhwider flocmǣlum and ūre earme folc rǣpton and slōgon.
Ne sceal man his āgenne willan lufian, ne his āgenum lustum fylġan.
Þū eart ealra cyninga cyning and dēma cwicra and dēadra.
Þā ārās þǣr ūp swīðe miċel fȳr, and sēo sǣ bærnde lange hwīle.
Maniġe þāra sēlestena cyninges þeġna forðfērdon on þǣm þrim gēarum.
Þā trēowa þe bēoð on fullum mōnan ġehēawene, hīe bēoð heardran and langfǣrran tō ġetimbrunge.
Ēadiġe bēoð þā men þe se hlāford waciende ġemēt.
Þū ġeō þē āhōfe, þæt þū woldest bēon ġelīċ þām ēċan Gode.
Hwīlum mǣru cwen ēode ġeond þā healle.
Leorna ā hwæthwugu æt ðām wīsran, þæt þū mæġe lǣran þone unwīsran.
