Note to ǪrvOdd Ævdr 17VIII (Ǫrv 87)

[1-2]: These lines are exactly the same as Ǫrv 76/5-6, where the island concerned is Grímr loðinkinni’s home of Hrafnista. No name is given in the prose text to the island where Oddr and his companions make land after their adventures among the Saami and Permians, although in 7 Oddr is reported as saying (Ǫrv 1888, 39) that it must be in Giantland (Risaland).
