Note to Glúmr Eir 1III

[2] Eireki ‘Eiríkr’: Eiríkr blóðøx; see Introduction. Sveinbjörn Egilsson (SnE 1848-87, II, 145 n. 6) suspected a reference to Eiríkr jarl Hákonarson (r. c. 1000-c. 1014), but this is rejected by Finnur Jónsson (ibid., III, 444). Eirekr is an early form of the name Eiríkr; it is secured by a rhyme on snekk- in Gsind Hákdr 7/8I.
