Note to ǪrvOdd Lv 21VIII (Ǫrv 54)

[All]: Stanza 54 seems to refer to the same viking named Hálfdan who was alluded to in Ǫrv 48/3 (see Note to [All] to this stanza for references to the prose text). However, Oddr’s blood-brother Þórðr stafngláma ‘Prow-gleam’, whom he does not meet until after Hálfdan’s death, was not involved in that confrontation, according to the prose saga.
