'''c. Names of the Reeves'''

'''[[005|5.08]]''' These are the names of the reeves under whose charge this book was composed:

Apol, Adela’s man, thrice was he sea king. Now he is reeve over East Fleeland and over the Linden Wards.<ref>‘East Fleeland and the Linden Wards’ (<span class="fryas">ÁST.FLÍ.LÁND ... LINDA.WRDA</span>) — the ‘Flee’ (Dutch: Vlie) was a stream flowing into the North Sea between what are now the West Frisian Islands Vlieland and Terschelling (see [https://wiki.oeralinda.org/view/File:Image2-Flee.jpg map]). [More to be added.]</ref> The burgs Liudgarda, Lindenheim, and Stavia are under his care.<ref>‘Stavia’, elsewhere also spelled Stav(e)re(n)/Stavora likely refers to the town of Stavoren; various coastal villages and towns in Greece named Σταυρός (Stavros) may also be related.</ref>

Storo the Saxman, Sytia’s man, reeve over the High Fens and Woods, nine times was he chosen army leader. The burgs Buda and Mannagardaforda are under his care.<ref>‘Mannagardaforda’ — Münster in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, was known as Mimigernaford in the 6th Century CE.</ref>

Abelo, Yaltia’s man, reeve over the Southern Fleelands, has been army leader four times. The burgs Aken, Liudburg, and Kate’s Burg are under his care.<ref>‘Aken’ (<span class="fryas">ÁKEN</span>) — means 'known' based on use in '''[[002|2.13]]'''; likely refers to Aachen in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The other burg names (Liudburg, Kat(e’)s Burg), as yet offer no such clear match. Ottema related ‘Katsburg’ to Kassel, but that is almost another 300 km eastward (thus not in the ''Southern Fleelands''); compare footnote <span class="fryas">KATTA.BURCH</span> at [150/24].</ref>

Enoch, Diwek’s man, reeve over West Fleeland and Texland,<ref>The West-Frisian Island Texel/Tessel seems an obvious remnant of what would have been a larger island or peninsula judging by the large sandbanks surrounding it. Remnant of West Fleeland will at least be the region West-Friesland and the rest of the province North Holland. The name Texel may also be related to Thessaloniki (Macedonia, Greece) and Taxila (Punjab, Pakistan).</ref> was chosen as sea king nine times. The Waraburg, Medeasblik, Forana, and Old Fryasburg are under his care.<ref>Medeasblik, Forana, and Old Fryasburg seem related to Medemblik, Vronen (a former town north of Alkmaar, destroyed in 1297) and Den Burg (Texel). The Waraburg was located at the Aldergamouth, three poles, or half of a tide (unknown units of distance) south of Medeasblik ('''[[EN050.19 Magyars|50.19]]'''); this may be around where Hoorn is now. A stream named ‘Gouw’ (<span class="fryas">GÁ)</span> is known to have had its mouth there. For more about Alderga, its mouth and the Waraburg, see '''[[EN108.28 Rhine|110.17]]'''.</ref>

Foppo, man of Dunros, reeve over the Seven Islands,<ref>‘The Seven Islands’ (<span class="fryas">SJVGUN É.LÁNDA</span>) — likely the (former) islands (and peninsulas?) of the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta (Zeeland).</ref> was sea king five times. The burg Walhallagara is under his care.<ref>The name Walhallagara may be related to the former island Walcheren; Middelburg (capital of the province Zeeland) and Domburg are located there, as well as Vlissingen, the name of which local legend says is derived from Ulysses (see '''[[EN075.08 Ulysus|75.08]]''' Ulysus).</ref>
