## Commentary

The charter is not intact. The single extant plate mentions exclusively
comprises lists of people involved in the foundation of a benefice whose
name is not mentioned in the preserved text portion. The text is cut off
at the start and end of the single engraved side of the plate, which is
therefore believed to be neither the first nor last in the original set.
The start of the text, suspected to contain the date and name of the
issuing king, is lost. However, the general tenor of the text and its
palaeographic aspect suggest that it is an issue of the early 10th
century. See our preamble to the Taji charter for a discussion of
similarities and differences to this inscription.
