Note to ESk Geisl 69VII

[6, 7] gœðum þrimu hræsíks ‘the increasers of the storm of the corpse-fish [SWORD > BATTLE > WARRIOR]’: This warrior-kenning may refer to the three kings in Einarr’s audience. Alternatively, if emendation of the base-word to gœði (dat. sg.) is preferred (so Skj B, following Cederschiöld), the kenning may refer to Einarr himself or to his patron King Eysteinn.
