Gan Myrddin Fardd' and it seems probable that the contents of MS 507 and the first ten items in MS 508 were transcribed from J. Glyn Davies MS 2 (though not in the same order), perhaps with a view to publication. The remaining poems appear to have been transcribed from various sources, including Cwrtmawr MS 454. Pasted in after the poems in MS 508 are two newspaper cuttings relating to 'Phylipiaid Ardudwy'.

Davies of 'cywyddau', etc. by Lewis Glyn Kothi, Sion ap Ho'll ap Lle'n fychan, Wiliam Kynnwal, Syr Dauidd Trefor, Gruff. ap Ieu' ap ll'n vychan, Gruffydd Llwyd ap Ieuan, Llowdden, Gutto'r Glyn, Guttyn Owen and Gils (Gyles) ap Sion, some taken from Celynog MSS 40 and 26 [NLW MSS 566 and 552 respectively].

Davies in a note on the inside lower cover (and not pp. 35-9 as suggested by J. Gwenogvryn Evans) are in the hand of Sion Tudur. J. H. Davies has also stated, and J. Gwenogvryn Evans also suggested, that pp. 1-17 are in the hand of Edmwnd Prys, but this section is in fact in two hands (pp. 1-9, 9-17), neither of which resembles that of Prys. There are some additions in the hand of David Ellis, Cricieth (1736-95) and some marginal and other additions by Peter Bailey Williams (1763-1836), Llanrug.
