[3] ítrum farmi (dat. sg.) ‘glorious cargo’: 399a-bˣ, expanding the abbreviation differently, reads frami ‘forward, in front’; so also Sveinbjörn Egilsson. The cargo is either the crucified Christ or the salvation (cf. auðr líknar ‘wealth of grace’, l. 7) won by his suffering. The Cross is often called ‘salvation-bearing’ (crux salutifera), in liturgy (Manz 1941, 132, no. 213), poetry (Bonaventure 1882-1902, VIII, 667, st. 7), and elsewhere: e.g. Dungal (Dungalus Reclusus C9th), who, in defending the veneration of images, writes how hopeless it is for mankind to try to navigate the stormy sea of this world sine nave salutiferae crucis ‘without the ship of the salvation-bearing Cross’ (Dungalus Reclusus, col. 489).
