Note to ǪrvOdd Ævdr 67VIII (Ǫrv 137)

[6] í Antekju ‘in Antioch’: A major city of the ancient Near East, situated in modern Turkey, Antioch was an important site of early Christianity. The spelling of the name in Old Norse sources is unstable. Both 343a and 471 record the form Antekja, but ms. 173ˣ has Aþekja. Skj B, Skald and FSGJ adopt Anþekja, which is not in any ms. of this stanza. The prose text of 344a, which does not have the stanza, records Antiochia[borg]. Another spelling is Anteócía, as in Anon Mey 34/1VII.
