þatuh þan qiþands aiwaggelista ataugida , ei so garehsns bi ina neƕa andja was þairh Herodes birunain .

akei faur þata , at bajoþum daupjandam jah ainƕaþarammeh seina anafilhandam daupein , miþ sis misso sik undrunnun sumai , ni kunnandans , ƕaþar skuldedi maiza .

þaþroh þan warþ sokeins us siponjam Iohannes miþ Iudaium bi swiknein .
