notes
[6] menn köstuðu henni ‘men threw her’: This must be understood as ‘men threw her into the pyre’. However, í miðju báli ‘in the middle of the pyre’ (l. 8) is in the dat. and must be construed with sat ‘sat’ (l. 7). Wrightson takes this prepositional phrase with köstuðu ‘threw’, which is ungrammatical (the case required is the acc.). The corresponding places in Mar (1871, 278, 1203) read: [e]r hun þa bvndin ok vppkavstuð i elldinn ‘she is then bound and thrown up into the fire’; [h]un er bundin, og hladit ollum megin vpp i hia henni med smꜳm vidum ok reyr, sidan er lagdr i elldr ‘she is bound, and on all sides around her small branches and reeds are stacked up, and then fire is placed in it’.
