[All]: Catherine’s long speeches of reproach and attempted instruction to Maxentius in the prose text (Unger 1877, I, 408-9; Wolf 2003, 130-1) are reduced to essentials here (barring the kennings), but ll. 5-8 follow the prose closely (Unger 1877, I, 409; Wolf 2003, 131): Ok fyrir þa søk let hann færa hana af klæðum ok beria lengi ‘And for that reason he had her stripped of her clothes and beaten for a long time’.
