Note to EVald Þórr 1III
[All]: The ordering of stanzas in this edn, as in Skj and Skald, is different from the order in which they are quoted in mss of SnE. In the mss that have what is here numbered st. 2 (R, W, U), it comes before st. 1, while st. 3 comes last in each case. The editorial reordering is based on narrative plausibility and is perhaps supported by the poet’s comment here on his own compositional powers, though, in the absence of the whole of EVald Þórr, this cannot be regarded as a firm guide to the order of stanzas.
