Note to AngH Lv 8VIII (Heiðr 108)

[7-8]: Skj B and Skald emend to ok þeim Húnum | herboð inna ‘and perform the war-summons to the Huns’. This seems to be partly based on Verelius’ emendation of R715ˣ’s problematic reading, Oc þeim Hunum | Herbod bioda (Heiðr 1672) ‘and offer the war-summons to the Huns’, but both mss have herlið ‘war-troop’ and 203ˣ’s reading gives good sense as it stands.
