[5] Sueion ‘Sveinn’: The name appears in various Latinised spellings in Lat. texts such as Theodoricus and HN, e. g. Sue(i)no, Swe(i)no, acc. sg. Sueinonem (MHN 23, 25, 28, 115, 119). The present form, lacking an Lat. acc. sg. ending, appears more ON than Lat.
notes
[8] traxit in dolo ‘drew ... on treacherously’: Sigvaldi jarl persuaded Óláfr that there was no threat, causing him to disband his army (see further Note to Stefnir Lv 1/7-8). The phrase at the equivalent point in Stefnir Lv 1/8 is dró á tálar ‘drew into a trap’, but it appears that the two constructions are not identical, since acc. sg. dolum would be expected after in indicating motion, and that in dolo has the sense ‘treacherously, with treachery’ here, as frequently in the Vulgate (so Gottskálk Þór Jensson (2006, 47). As Gottskálk points out, this removes the objection to in dolo raised by Finnur Jónsson (ÓTOdd 1932, ii), and his suspicion that Oddr’s Lat. grammar was less than secure.
notes
[4] apostata ‘the apostate’: Sigvaldi jarl Strút-Haraldsson. Andersson (2003, 22) gives evidence that Lat. apostata was used as an equivalent of ON níðingr ‘traitor, despicable person’, and that it was applied to the archetypal traitor Judas (on whom, see Note to Stefnir Lv 1/3-4). Gottskálk Þór Jensson (2006, 51-2) suggests that apostata is appropriate to Sigvaldi as the opponent of Christian kings, especially Óláfr Tryggvason.

[7] Tryggva ‘of Tryggvi’: The gen. sg. inflection is ON, not Lat.

[2] pene ‘almost’: Classical Lat. paene. This could mean either ‘almost’ (cf. nær ‘close’ in Stefnir Lv 1/2) or ‘indeed’ (so Gottskálk Þór Jensson 2006, 50, translating it with ModIcel. reyndar).

See Context to Stefnir Lv 1.
The Lat. rel. pron. qui ‘who’ (l. 5) refers back simply to apostata ‘apostate’ (l. 4), so it is possible but not necessary to assume that ll. 2-4 are intercalated, as they must be in the ON stanza (see Note to Stefnir Lv 1 [All]). — [5-6]: Sigvaldi jarl feigns illness in order to lure Sveinn tjúguskegg ‘Fork-beard’ to Jómsborg; see further Note to Stefnir Lv 1/5-6.
