[5] breiðum ‘broad’: The reading of most Hkr mss, and chosen also in ÍF 28. The Kˣ reading breiðan is equally viable, but it is isolated (though perhaps supported by breiða in H-Hr) and the Kˣ readings for œrnu (l. 1) and ríða (l. 3) are similarly out of line. In each case papp18ˣ confirms Kˣ as an accurate reflection of the all-but-lost Kringla.
