[All]: Skj dates Nizv to 1062, i.e. right after the battle of the Nissan. However, because of the favourable sentiments towards Sveinn Úlfsson that are expressed in this and the next st., it seems more likely that Steinn composed the poem in 1064 after the peace-treaty had been concluded between Haraldr and Sveinn (see also Halli XI Fl).
