Note to Sturl Hryn 19II

[1] ríða ‘rode’: Lit. ‘ride’ (inf.). Mss E, G and 81a have the reading reiða ‘carry’ which could be taken with varrar eld ‘fire of the oarstroke’: Ek frá fjölð bragna reiða eld varrar ór breiðum borgum í móti svarra ‘I heard that a multitude of men carried the fire of the oarstroke from broad cities towards the proud lady’. Earlier eds prefer the F, Flat variant.
