[2, 4] hundmargan mann ‘very many a man’: All available mss read m. acc. sg. -margan ‘many’ in l. 2 but they are divided between sg. mann and pl. menn in l. 4. The present ed. follows Finnur Jónsson (1893b; 1905; Skj B) and Kock (Skald) in adopting the sg. forms. Previous eds up to and including Wisén (1886-9) read hundmarga menn ‘very many men’.
