Note to Árm Lv 2II

[4] Veslu ‘Vesla’s’: ÍF 34, 209 reports an unpublished suggestion by A. B. Taylor that ‘Vesla’s sands’ refer to Wallsend, also discussed by Townend (1998, 76) who finds it philologically unsatisfactory though geographically possible, while Bibire (1988, 232) finds it ‘topographically odd’.
