"Centuriatus, Presbyteri, præpositi, vi[1] villani uniuscujusque villa. Deinde quomodo vocatur Mansio, quis tenuit eam tempore regis Eduvardi. Quis modo tenet, quot hidæ, quot carucatæ in Dominio, quot hominum, quot villani, quot cottarii, quot servi, quot liberi homines, quot Sockemanni, quantum silvæ, quantum prati, quot pascuorum, quot molendini, quot piscinæ, quantum est additum vel ablatum, quantum va lebat totum simul, et quantum modo, quantum ibi quisque liber homo, vel[2] Sockemanum habuit, vel habet. Hoc totum tripliciter; scilicet tempore regis Eduvardi, et quando rex Willielmus dedit, et quomodo sit modo; et si potest plus haberi quam habeatur."

A copy of this is likewise preserved in the British Museum, No 5167.
