Although it has no discernible bearing on the interpretation of hearpen, some curiosity deserves mention about hæleþa stefn in the Old English Phoenix. Since stefn there reflects voces in the group aedoniae voces, one must wonder if hæleþa has anything to do with aedoniae. Perhaps the poet paid no attention to aedoniae and used a suitably alliterative word which occurs in such poetic groups as hæleþa helpend, hæleþa scyppend and hæleþa hyhtgifa. On the other hand he may have taken aedoniae, ‘nightingale-like’, to be a proper adjective like the accompanying Cirrhaeis and Cylleneae and thought that it referred to a particular race of men, hæleþa. In the Old English Genesis the Vulgate rex Sodomorum is reflected both by Sodoma aldor (2124) and hæleþa waldend (2139). Remarkably in the edition of Lactantius's Carmen in Migne, Patrologia Latina 7, the spelling is Ædoniae, capitalized.

Granted this equivalence, one still must inquire why a glossator should use a Greek gloss in this Isidore passage, and some answer may lie in the fact that Isidore himself, in discussing palma, uses a Greek word: ‘Palma … Hanc Graeci phoenicem dicunt’ (Etymologies xvii. vii. 1), a term which could lead a glossator to its equivalent βαίς.

^{Page 201 note 10} The reason for this suggested comparison lies in the fact that the entry at WW 414, 8 is in a glossary that has drawn heavily from Aldhelm and the entry at WW 521, 17 (from Cleopatra A. iii, 111 r) is definitely in an Aldhelm batch. Also in a note to Grues at WW 521, 17 Wülcker stated that Grues is miswritten for caries and referred one, unenlighteningly, to the entry Cnues. eldo at WW 374, 4, from 22V of the Cleopatra Glossary.
