Note to Þfagr Sveinn 3II

[3] á slóðir Buðla ‘onto Buðli’s <sea-king’s> trails [SEA]’: For the use of the acc. after the preposition á ‘on’, see Note to st. 2/3 above. Buðli was a legendary king, the father of Atli (see Akv, Am and Ill Har 4/3). The name also occurs as the name of a sea-king, and it is unclear whether the two are identical (see LP: Buðli 1-2).
