Note to ǪrvOdd Lv 19VIII (Ǫrv 52)

[7] fimtán ‘fifteen’: The reading of 344a, which is likely to be correct, and has been adopted by all previous eds, as it provides appropriate alliteration on <f>; however, the prose text of 344a claims Oddr killed Sæundr and twelve of his men, making thirteen (Ǫrv 1888, 112), while 7 does not specify the exact number of Oddr’s victims (Ǫrv 1888, 111-13). It is only the prose texts of the younger mss that claim there were fifteen victims (Ǫrv 1888, 112 n. to l. 4).
