Note to ǪrvOdd Ævdr 62VIII (Ǫrv 132)

[3] Garðar ok Sírni ‘Garðarr and Sírnir’: As Kock points out (NN §2610), ms. 471 has the better order of these two names, as alliteration in ll. 3-4 falls on <g>. In the younger mss, these two men are introduced to Oddr by a Þórr-doppelgänger named Rauð-Grani ‘Red-Grani’ as his foster-brothers (Ǫrv 1888, 125-6), and they assist Oddr in dealing with Ǫgmundr Eyþjófsbani, but are ultimately killed by him. Sírnir is also mentioned in ǪgmEyb Lv 3/3 (Ǫrv 33).
