Note to Sigv Vestv 8I

[1, 3] allan eið ‘the whole oath’: Although the context is obscure, this expression makes sense if we imagine a reciprocal agreement between Sigvatr and Óláfr, with the poet now urging the king not to forget his part of the agreement, even though Sigvatr has been remiss on his part (i.e. by arriving late).
