Note to HlǫðH Lv 2VIII (Heiðr 94)

[All]: Ms. 203ˣ, as 2845, does not contain ll. 1-4 and has the same l. 5 as 2845, but seems to become a U-redaction ms. from l. 7, as it follows the order of the lines in R715ˣ rather than in 2845. Skj B and Skald do not print ll. 1-4 and prefer 2845’s reading for l. 5, but subsequently follow the order of U without explanation. Jón Helgason (1967, 224) suggests that the scribe of 2845 confused átti at the end of l. 6 with skatti at the end of l. 8, copying ll. 9-10 after átti instead of skatti.
