This stanza is the last of the sequence of eight stanzas, beginning with Hjálm 11 (Ǫrv 21) that forms the main part of Hjálmarr’s death-song in the Ǫrv mss. After it the younger mss (343a, 471 and 173ˣ) follow with Ǫrv 25-9, and then there is a final prose passage in all Ǫrv mss which concludes with Ǫrv 16 and 20, which are also in the mss of Heiðr.
