Note to Anon Pét 1VII

[7-8] orð var sent mey guðs ‘the Word was sent to the maid of God’: i.e. in the Annunciation (Luke I.26-35). Cf., e.g., Hóm 6712 187/1-4. Kock (NN §1708) argues instead that the ll. should be punctuated: orð var sent, en særðiz sonr mey guðs at deyja ‘the word was sent, but for the maid of God the son was wounded to death’.
