Note to Hallvarðr Frag 1^VIII (Frið 20)

[All]: This fornyrðislag stanza is only in the A recension mss. The first helmingr is difficult and the sense of l. 4 not entirely clear. Most eds, except for Wenz (Frið 1914, 18), emend l. 1 to Erat á skala ‘There is not in the hall’, but this is not necessary to achieve sense. The stanza contrasts the anticipated comfort of Friðþjófr and his men drinking in the shelter of the hall (where the speaker himself is) with the hard conditions of the men baling Elliði.
