Note to Sigoa Lv 1^VIII (Ragn 19)

[6] þó at bjóði ófafé ‘though he may offer excessive payment’: The reading here follows that of all previous eds (who variously have þó at and þótt) apart from Rafn (FSN) and Valdimar Ásmundarson (Ragn 1891), who have respectively þóat of fé bjóðið and þó at ofa fé bjóðið, of which the first at least is questionable metrically and which both mean, presumably, ‘though you (pl.) may offer excessive payment’, which hardly makes sense in the context.
