Written in language more modernised than these, the Law of Hlothhere and Eadric has more focus on legal procedure and has no religious content.
[3] Like the other Kentish codes, the Law of Hloþhere and Eadric survives in only one manuscript, known as Textus Roffensis or the "Rochester Codex".
[7] The language appears to have been "updated" [Oliver] at a later date, and this may indicate that among the Kentish codes it went through a unique route of transmission, perhaps being more intensely consulted than the other two.
[9] There are eleven distinct groups of provisions according to the text's most recent editor Lisi Oliver,[10] though F. L. Attenborough had previously broken it down into 15.
[15] Provision 11 rules that Kentish men buying property in London must do so in public in the presence of two or three freemen of good standing or else before the king's wicgerefan, port-reeve.
