Hey, I thought it would be good to point out any grammatical or spelling corrections for your work, so you could take note for next time and improve your OE. Anyway, here're my corrections:
* "elleswīse" seems to be an unnecessarily neologism.
* "gelic" most likely had a long vowel - "gelīc", just like the noun it is derived from (līc)
* "gelīc" causes the dative case, so "gelic eorþgealla" should be "gelīc eorþgeallan"
* "nēoðan" should probably have a short vowel ("neoðan"), being related, for example, to "nether" - the lengthening occurred during or leading into Middle English under [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_syllable_lengthening#English open syllable vowel lengthening]
* "his" should be "hire", since it refers back to the subject, which is "culmille", which is feminine
* little typo of "blotsman" as "botsman"
* ðær should be þǣr
* the [http://bosworth.ff.cuni.cz/037249 attested form] meaning "inch" is "ynce" and declensions thereof, rather than without the e. Also, when giving unit measurements in OE, it was normal to put the unit in the genetive. For historical examples: 1. Se weall Babilónes is fíftig elna brád, and twá hund elna heáh. 2. Wund ynces lang. 3. Seo cyrce wæs eahtahyrnede, an hund fota and twentig fota heah, six hund fota, and feowertig heo wæs ymbeganges.
