A second supplement to Hand-List of Anglo-Saxon Non-Runic Inscriptions.A second supplement to Hand-List of A.nglo-Saxon Non-R.unic Inscriptions ELISABETH OKASHA This supplement brings up to date my Hand-List of Anglo-Saxon Non-Runic Inscriptions (Cambridge, 1971). i It contains twenty-eight entries, including all the Anglo-Saxon non-runic inscriptions which have come to my notice since the publication of the first supplement. 2 The entries are followed by the Bibliography. This gives in full the references quoted in abbreviated form throughout this second supplement unless they have already appeared in the General Bibliography of the Hand-List or of the first supplement. This is followed by Addenda to the Hand-List and to the first supplement, where additional information about several inscriptions is given. Then follows a list of Corrigenda to the Hand-List and to the first supplement and, finally, a list of Addenda to the bibliographies of the entries in the Hand-List and the first supplement, to bring them up to date. The entries in this second supplement follow the layout of the Hand-List entries. The following paragraphs explain the system adopted in the entries. This information is extracted from the Introduction and the Guide to the Entries of the Hand-List and is repeated here for the convenience of the reader.Each inscription is entered in alphabetical order according to its place of finding in modern times and is given a running number starting, where the first supplement stopped, at 185. This is followed by a more detailed account of its place of finding and present locality, including, where known, the town, the county and the country, where this is other than England. The new county names are used with, where necessary, the old names in brackets. The object's present locality is stated in general if the object is merely housed there, but is particularized if it forms part of the fabric of a building. For this purpose, where an object is said to be set in a wall, this indicates an exterior wall unless the opposite is stated. The dedications of the parish churches are given only 1 The first supplement appeared in ASE 11 (1983), 83-118. 2 The twenty-eight inscriptions have all been personally examined except for 202-3, Rome IV-V, which I have not yet been able to see. 37
