(a) The marriage settlement
The abstract appears in a number of slightly different versions indifferent sources, listed below. The following is a composite version.
Sciant &c qd ego Rob'tus de Ver co'es Oxon' dedi d'no Reginaldo deArgento' in liber' maritag' cu' Lora sorore mea m' de Ketelingh'm in com'Norff
Teste Henric' de Bellocampo Willi'mo de Marney milit' Joh'e Filol Rc' freeius Rc' de Mulesham Henr' de Vagor.

The text given here, like that in the other 'Argentein evidences', isobviously a very bare abstract of the essential information.
The wording can be compared with a settlement made by the same Robert deVer on the marriage of his daughter in 1284:
'Sciant ... q'd ego Robertus de Ver Comes Oxonie dedi concessi et hacp'senti carta mea confirmaui Will'o de Warenn' ... et Joh'e filie meep'i'mogenite totu' Man'iu' meu' de Medmenh'a'm ... in ComitatuBokingh'a'mie ...
