Did not say the Anglii as a people were first attested at that time. Said the word "anglisc" was first attested at that time. Attested to meam first proven written record of the word's use.As for the first attestation you mention, Tacitus (d. early second century) mentioned the Anglii in a list as allied with the Eudoses (sp?) who were the Jutes... so like Ben, I don't really know what your point is regarding Alfred, and the difference between uses of Anglii and Anglisc.
