[1-4]: Lines 1-4 are largely illegible in R and missing words are supplied from Tˣ and W. Finnur Jónsson (Skj A) was able to read ‘Hve skal æk gott gioldvm’ in l. 1, but these words are illegible now. Line 3 is lacking in all mss; it is omitted in Tˣ and the scribe of W left a gap for it, but the gap was never filled.
