Note to Hjǫrtr Lv 2II

[1] hafr ‘billy-goat’: This alludes to the bag of goat-skin filled with gold that Hjǫrtr has brought back from Russia. The bag is also referred to at the beginning of Hem in Hr and Flat, and must have been part of the original þáttr, although the sts are only preserved in the Hb version (see Fellows Jensen 1962, cix-cx, 1).
