Note to GunnLeif Merl I 86VIII

[All]: Cf. DGB 115 (Reeve and Wright 2007, 151.137-9; cf. Wright 1988, 107, prophecy 28): et uolucres exterarum regionum sustentabit. Patriis uolatilibus nociuus habebitur; nam timore umbrae eius liberos uolatus amittent ‘and feed birds from foreign lands. It will prove harmful to native birds; for they will not be able to fly freely in fear of its shadow’ (Reeve and Wright 2007, 150).
