Note to Anon Alpost 6VII

[5] prýddr af listum ‘adorned with virtues’: Cf. Note to 12/7, and cf. 11/4 postuli hlaðinn af kostum ‘the Apostle filled with virtues’. Here list seems to be used as a synonym of kostr ‘virtue’, although such a sense for list is not recorded in dictionaries. Perhaps read as ‘adorned with accomplishments’?
