[1, 2] fúsir menn ... lesandi ‘keen men ... read’: This seems to imply that clerics might have read the saga of S. Margaret to women who were suffering difficult childbirth or from gynaecological illnesses. Cf. the prayer for labouring women included in AM 433 c 12° (c. 1500) which also contains a saga of S. Margaret (Bekker-Nielsen 1961).
