Note to Anon (StSt) 2VIII (StSt 2)

[All]: In some mss, such as 30ˣ, the priestess’s introduction to this stanza is turned into verse, which is not, however, metrical, and attached at the beginning of the stanza: Hann skal aldri | með heilu lífi | á burt komaz | ef ek má ráða | ‘He shall never escape with his life unscathed if I am able to decide’. StSt 1694 adopts this practice.
