TRANSLATIONS Becker Es war ein sehr vermögender Mann, voll von Arglist, der Arnulf von Flandern hieß; mit diesem Elenden verband sich eidlich jener Gottselige. Helmerichs There was a certain wealthy man, full of trickery, and he was called Arnulf the Fleming, with whom he associated himself by a sworn oath, that fortunate one to the miserable one. All weep for innocent, slain William. COMMENTARIES Cf. Luke 16:1: dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos homo quidam erat dives qui habebat vilicum et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius; Luke 16:19: homo quidam erat dives et induebatur purpura et bysso et epulabatur cotidie splendide.
