Note to Anon Alpost 12VII

[4] í guðs reglu ‘in God’s rule’: The word regla may here suggest a monastic ‘rule’ or ‘order’ (cf. Fritzner: regla 3; cf. Fritzner IV: munkaregla), a particularly appropriate sense of the word if the poet was a member of a religious order, and composed for a monastic audience.
