Note to Hjálm Lv 6VIII (Ǫrv 16)
[All]: The Ǫrv mss have a completely different first helmingr of this stanza from that of the Heiðr mss. The variant text of the first helmingr is printed below. The second helmingr exhibits no significant differences. Skj B prints the Ǫrv text of the first helmingr, while Skj A gives the text according to 2845, with the Ǫrv text in the notes. Skald prints the Ǫrv text of the first helmingr and gives the Heiðr version as a separate b. stanza. Edd. Min. gives both versions separately. Ms. R715ˣ offers basic support for the text of 2845, even though at a later stage someone crossed through the original text in R715ˣ and replaced it with the text according to the Ǫrv mss (see Heiðr 1924, 100 n. 4). As Finnur Jónsson did not use R715ˣ, its basic support for the text of 2845 was not apparent in his edn.[[ALT]]
