Note to Mark Eirdr 7II

[6] ungr nam hann á margar tungur ‘when young he learned many languages’: Lit. ‘he learned in many languages’. According to Knýtl (ÍF 35, 219), Eiríkr did not need an interpreter when he travelled abroad. For the ‘foreign language requirement’ in ON literature, see Kalinke 1983.
