Note to FriðÞ Lv 25VIII (Frið 31)

[3-4]: It is impossible to give a reliable interpretation of ll. 3-4. Most eds who have attempted one make major emendations (e.g. Skj B) which have little regard for the mss. Kock (Skald; NN §3195) emends i enni mina grandvær to enn in minna grandvarr. The adj. grandvarr ‘guileless, upright’ is a sensible suggestion for the last word in l. 4, but the rest of Kock’s emended text is arbitrary.
