Grammar
scírig-mann, es; m.
Apparently the same as
    Cod. Dip. Kmbl. vi. 127, 128.
scír-mann, q. v. The form occurs only in one (Kentish) charter, where 'Wulfsige preóst se scírigmann' is twice mentioned, In a later Latin version of this charter the term is rendered scírman and explained by judex comitatus, judex provinciae, Chart. Th. 275, 276, and in this sense it is taken by Kemble, v. Saxons in England, ii. 168 sq. In another charter the same person is mentioned, but without the title: a grant of land is made by Ethelred to Winchester 'ofer Wulfsiges dæg preóstes,' Cod. Dip. Kmbl. vi 135. This document is dated 996; somewhat later in the time of Cnut, Wulfsige preóst is mentioned in connection with Kend, but then Æðelwine is scíregescéfa, Cod. Dip. Kmbl. iv.
