See Ǫrv 102 Note to [All]. In the 7 text (Ǫrv 1888, 69) the meeting in the Götaälv is supposed to take place the following spring, in 344a (Ǫrv 1888, 66) the precise time is unspecified. The first helmingr of this stanza relates fairly closely to the prose text, while the second elaborates on Hjálmarr’s supposed motives in wanting Oddr to accompany him to Sweden.
