[4]: B is badly torn. Traces of the last letter (possibly a t) are visible, but no further traces remain. 399a-bˣ, BRydberg and BFJ read final st with certainty. Sveinbjörn Egilsson suggests reconstruction to adv. mest ‘most’, qualifying eflið móð ‘you strengthen courage’ (ll. 1, 3). This reconstruction is adopted by Skj B and Skald. Rydberg (1907, 1 n. 12) suggests emendation to brjóst, acc. sing. of brjóstr ‘breast’, construing enn eflið (þér) í styr stríðum móð brjóst fyr skœðu valdi ygra diǫfla ‘still you strengthen your courage in the harsh battle against the dangerous power of vicious devils’.
