[5-6] hinn dýri Tómas kvað þau dæmi dauða og allar nauðir vild ‘the glorious Thomas declared those models of death [i.e. the models of the early martyrs] and all torments to be desirable’: Kock (NN §1765) takes dæmi to mean ‘events’ or ‘experiences’, interpreting the two ll. as follows: Hinn dýri Thómás kvað þau dæmi og allar nauðir vild dauða ‘The glorious Thomas declared that those experiences and all torments were a desirable death’. Here, however, as in Skj B, vild, from vildr (adj.) ‘desirable’ is understood to modify the phrase þau dæmi dauða og allir nauðir.
