Note to Anon Lil 8VII

[2-3] að viðrlíkjaz guðs yfrið ríkum eingetnum syni ‘to match himself with God’s abundantly powerful only-begotten son [= Christ]’: Cf. Stjórn: at hann uilldi iafnaz edr uidrlikiaz sealfan gud ‘that he would be the same as or match himself with God himself’ (Unger 1862, 7). Schottman (1973, 199) notes that the only occurrence of the verb viðrlíkja in poetry is in this st. (cf. 17/8: við … líkjaz), and the only occurrence in prose is the cited text from Stjórn.
