Note to Þul Eyja 1III

[7] Hasley ‘Hesselø’: Either Hesselø, a small island in Denmark in the Kattegat north of Sjælland (Zealand), or, according to Munch (1846, 89), possibly ON Atley (now Atløy) in Sunnfjord, Sogn og Fjordane, western Norway (the latter name has been connected with Atli jarl inn mjóvi ‘the Slender’ af Gaulum, who found his death there; see Hkr, ÍF 26, 108). The latter suggestion finds some support in the form of the modern pronunciation [(h)atløyna] (Sandnes and Stemshaug 1990, 61).
