Note to Þul Á 3III

[All]: Some of the geographical names listed here are also mentioned in other Old Norse learned sources. In Heimslýsing (Hb 1892-6, 150), four names recorded in the present stanza are listed among the great rivers of the world: Tifr, the Tiber (also spelled Tipr, Tibur) (l. 1), Vína, the Northern Dvina (l. 1), Olkoga (see Alkoga in l. 5 and Note there) and Eufrátes, the Euphrates (l. 6). Only a few of the remaining heiti can be identified with certainty, namely, Tems, the Thames (l. 2) and Gautelfr, the Götaälv (l. 4).
