There has recently been some discussion in the Journal1 as to the meaning of the word ‘dyoll’ when it appears in English ship inventories of the years 1410–12, which have been partially published, by Nicolas2 and Sir Alan Moore.3 Nicolas quotes from the Accounts and Inventories of John Starlyng, Clerk of the King's Ships to Henry IV, but he mistakenly dates these documents 1338, which date has been corrected by Moore to 1410–12.
