Note to Anon (FoGT) 45III

[1] Moysen ‘Moses’: The spelling of the ms. Also possible are Móisen, Moísen, and length on the last syllable (-én, so Skald). Moses the lawgiver is well represented in skaldic verse; cf. Anon Leið 18/2VII lagavísum Móísi ‘law-wise Moses’ and especially Anon Law 1/5VII Móyses kunni lögmáls list ‘Moses was skilled in the art of law-giving’.
