The following entry has been hand-corrected once.

Hwiccas. Add :-- In re stwe e man gt nemne Agustinus aac, in Myrcna (Hwicna, v. l.) gemre and Westseaxna (in confinio Huic-ciorum et occidentalium Saxonum), Bd. 2, 2 ; Sch. 113, 4. In Hwiccia mgþe, 4, 23; Sch. 470, 14. Wilfrid is Hwicca biscop, 5, 23; Sch. 690, 16. Perhaps the word is used in a limited and in a wider sense. In a list of territorial names in one group occurs the following :-- Hicca (Wicca, 416, 7, a Latin form of the list) landes is þr hund hda. The next group begins :-- Hwinca ( = Hwicna?) landes is syfan þsend hda, Cilternstna feówer þsend hda, C. D. B. i. 414, 22-25. The suggestion may receive some support from the forms, Hec-, Hwicc-, used by Florence when speaking of the Mageste. v. Chr. P. ii. p. 197.

T hwifræme-[ra, v. C. D. B. iii. 603, 40], 275, 12. Ic gæan þæs landes æt hwi-fersce, 272, 16. [v. D. D. wiver, whiver, to shake, quiver; wivery hivering, quaking.]
