  • 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 þrý hund hýda. The next group begins :-- Hwinca ( = Hwicna?) landes is syfan þúsend hýda, Cilternsǽtna feówer þúsend hýda, 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 Magesǽte. v. Chr. P. ii. p. 197.
