[4] at Þórleifi ‘from Þorleifr’: Presumably the name of the poet’s patron, possibly (certainly LP: Þórleifr) to be identified with Þorleifr inn spaki ‘the Wise’, the son of Hǫrða-Kári, c. 900, or possibly later, if he is the same Þorleifr as the one who was involved in setting up the Icelandic alþingi in 930 (cf. ÍF 1, 7 and n., 313; cf. ÍF 26, 163 n.; SnE 1998, I, 169; Holtsmark 1949, 5).
