Note to ǪrvOdd Ævdr 69VIII (Ǫrv 139)

[3] er hann festi mér ‘when he betrothed to me’: Here the readings of 471 and 173ˣ have been preferred over those of 7 and 343a, because þá er ... fastnaði ‘when ... betrothed’ produces a hypermetrical line and causes mér to belong syntactically to l. 4 rather than l. 3.
