Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 70III

[1] niðr grams ‘the kinsman of the lord [= Knútr]’: This is Jón Helgason’s suggestion (Hl 1941). Rugman’s transcriptions (‘en gramur grār … udr’ papp25ˣ, ‘en gram … | …udur’ R683ˣ) show that the first word must have been abbreviated in his exemplar (the stem ‘grā’), but that he was uncertain of the ending (rendered as ‘-r’ in papp25ˣ and as ‘…’ in R683ˣ). He could only read with certainty the last two letters of the second word (‘dr’).
