Steinarr (Steinarr)
11th century; volume 3; ed. Russell Poole;
Poem about a woman (Woman) - 1
Nothing is known about Steinarr (Steinarr) beyond the citation of a half-stanza fragment in Skm (SnE). In SnE mss Tˣ and A he is referred to as Steinn but that is probably merely through confusion with Hallar-Steinn, some of whose stanzas appear immediately before this helmingr within the same group of citations. Finnur Jónsson (Skj, with a query) refers Steinarr to the eleventh century but there do not seem to be linguistic or other grounds for any certainty on this point.

mjúkstalls logit allir
— sjá * véltumk stoð stilltan
straumtungls — at mér draumar.
| Allir draumar mjúkstalls {mildrar Synjar mens} hafa logit at mér; {sjá stoð {straumtungls}} * véltumk stilltan. All the dreams of the soft place {of the gracious Syn <goddess> of the necklace} [WOMAN] have deceived me; {this support {of the stream-star}} [GOLD > WOMAN] tricked me so that I was thwarted.
