Gloss 4 (7r27) was written with a thinner pen but has the same g and a similar e; flat-topped a was used, and ascenders lack wedges. Gloss 8 (9r11) also has flat-topped a, tall s, and turned-down tongue on e, but the tongue of f is long, the ink darker, and the shoulder of r much more rounded. This scribe also added Latin glosses in a script which shows no signs of Style-IV Anglo-Caroline except for a laterally compressed c+t ligature.
