Note to Anon Sól 67VII

[6] slitu sjónir ‘tore the eyes (out)’: In Fj 45/1-3 Svipdagr is threatened with having his eyes pecked out by ravens as a punishment for lying: horskir hrafnar | skulu þér á hám gálga | slíta sjónir úr | ef þú þat lýgr ‘wise ravens shall, on high gallows, tear out your eyes if you are lying about that’.
