Note to Anon (FoGT) 46III

[5] helzt ‘about’: Taken here (so also SnE 1848-87, II, 248 and Kock, Skald and NN §2494) with að nóni (there is a stop in the ms. before ‘helldz’). Björn Magnússon Ólsen (FoGT 1884, 295 and 296 n. 3), following Konráð Gíslason (1872, 304), proposes that the ms. punctuation is a mistake and that helzt should be understood with hvienær, as do Finnur Jónsson (Skj B, translating når omtrent ‘about when’) and Longo (FoGT 2004). The same eds construe the very close verbal parallel in st. 47/3 in the same way.
