Conversely, in 80.17 the preterite was written with a b - cibabit, and consequently glossed with the English future foedeo, although the b has been erased and the v substituted. These two cases are decisive. But 47.8, where conteres, incorrectly made into conterens by the addition of n, is glossed fororestende, seems equally decisive the other way.'
