Note to Anon (Sv) 6^II

[All]: As was the case with Lv 2-3 above, this st. is also anonymous, but it is spoken by Sverrir (ÍF 30, 257): Litla ván eiga Birkibeinar þar góðs hǫfðingja er þú ert, ok er svá sem kveðit er ‘The Birkibeinar have scant hope of a good chieftain there where you are concerned, and it is just as it is said’. A little later in the same speech, Sverrir recites another snatch of poetry, this time Fáfn 6/4-6 (NK 181). It could well be that the present st., too, originally belonged to an eddic poem (no longer extant).
