Note to Heiðrekr Heiðr 1VIII (Heiðr 85)

[All]: Mss 2845 and R715ˣ have the prose response (Heiðr 1960, 44), Þat veiztu einn, rǫg vættr! ‘You alone know that, depraved creature!’. Cf. Lok 57/1, 59/1, 61/1, 63/1 Þegi þú, rǫg vættr! ‘Be silent, depraved creature!’. On the implications of the word ragr (and argskapr ‘depravity’ in l. 1) see Meulengracht Sørensen (1983, 18-20).
