    • [The boundary] of the two bishoprics goes together as far as Hansfleot: from Hansfleot to Hoingdene, from Hoingdene to Combwell, from Combwell to sandhlincan, from sandhlincan along the river to the wic, from the wic to the court, and so along to Sussex. Here it [the boundary] stands and always stood – unless the Archbishop should wish to grant some of his territory to the other bishop.
