Note to Anon Krm 8VIII

[3] fyrir Inndyriseyju ‘off Inndyrisey’: While Inndyrisey, an island (to judge from the final element in the name), cannot be certainly identified, mention may be made of Inndyr, now a village of some 700 inhabitants in Gildeskål county of the province of Nordland in northern Norway, and situated by an inlet of Sørfjorden (cf. Rygh 1897-1936, XVI, 185). The spelling Einderis eyju, ‑eyjum (CPB Eynderis-eyjom), adopted by all previous eds up to and including Finnur Jónsson (1893b), is in all probability aberrant and secondary; it does not seem to point to a separate location.
