Note to Arn Hardr 17II

[4] svá launak jǫfri gjǫf ‘thus I repay the prince for his gift’: According to tradition, it was after receiving the gift of a gold-chased spear that Arnórr promised Haraldr that he would compose an erfidrápa ‘memorial drápa’ for him if he outlived him (e.g. Mork 1928-32, 118).
