Note to Gísl Magnkv 9II

[3, 4]: The Mork variants œgi (m. acc. sg.) jǫfra ‘the terrifier of princes’ (l. 3) and gramr (m. nom. sg.) Ívistar ‘the lord of North Uist’ (l. 4) make no sense in the present context because Lǫgmaðr, not Magnús, was king of North Uist, and he was captured by Magnús. North Uist is an island in the Hebrides.
