Whether than suggests a relationship between the two texts (e.g., Cardiff MS 3.4/ MS 5 as a source for Llanstephan 117?) is not discussed ([[Lewis (1925, 1958, 1967)\|Lewis (1925, 1958, 1967),]] p. 29).

	In his description of this manuscript, Lewis notes that this text is 'mostly illegible' and 'incomplete' - both the narrative and the manuscript cut off abruptly part of the way through the Senescalcus story ([[Lewis (1925, 1958, 1967)\|Lewis 1925, 1958, 1967)]] (p. 29). This seems to be borne out by Evan's description of the explicit: 'ef a erchis y medic iddo geisio gwraic yn wely ac ynte aechis yw ystiwart logi rwraic iddo ir ic pvnt ac yn yr ystiward a naeth o chwant yda' [He asked the physician to get a woman for him in bed, and he asked the steward to hire a woman for him for one pound, and the steward did so out of desire...] ([[Evans (1903)\|Evans 1903]], p. 579).
