Note to RvHbreiðm Hl 75III

[6] hilmis (m. gen. sg.) ‘the ruler’s’: With earlier eds, hilmir (m. nom. sg.) ‘ruler’ has been emended to the gen. sg. to provide a qualifier for drótt ‘retinue’. Rugman (or an earlier copyist) must have understood this clause in the sense hilmir rak flótta drótt ‘the ruler pursued the fleeing retinue’ (cf. Rugman’s translation Rex fugavit timidos ‘The king routed the fainthearted’ in R683ˣ). See Hl 1941.
