As for Lv 8.
While Rǫgnvaldr and his men are drying out by the fire, a female servant comes in shivering and saying something that no one can understand except Rǫgnvaldr. The st. is introduced by Jarl kvezk skilja tungu hennar ‘The jarl said he understood her speech’. R702x has a more detailed introduction to the st., explaining that a house-servant named Ása went to fetch water with another woman, but fell into the well í fjúkinu ‘in the snowstorm’ and the other woman ran back to the house kalin mjǫk ‘thoroughly chilled’. However, it is not clear whether this passage derives from R702ˣ’s ms. exemplar or is the copyist’s attempt to explain the situation (ÍF 34, 197 n. 3).
