Note to FriðÞ Lv 28VIII (Frið 34)

[All]: This fornyrðislag stanza is only in A redaction mss, and is absent from 568ˣ. In Skj and Skald all the stanzas in the saga from this point on are treated as belonging to a separate section of the text (designated II) and are numbered from 1 to 7, Frið 34 being number 1. In 510 (95r, l. 9) a large ornate capital begins the section of the prose text immediately preceding Frið 34 (Frið 1914, 26, l. 7) and in 568ˣ there is a large capital in the same place on fol. 102r, l. 23, indicating that this section of the saga may have been considered separate from that preceding.
