Note to Þjóð Har 2I

[1] minnigr ‘the one with a good memory’: This is understood as a substantival adj., and the reference may be to the virtuous circle in which the ruler is mindful of his duty of generosity, remembering and rewarding loyal service, and in turn receives good advice. Finnur Jónsson (Skj A) suggests instead that the word may be an error for mildingr ‘generous ruler’.
