Note to Eyv Hák 9I

[2] of togin ‘drawn’: Although it might appear strange for the kings to sit with their swords drawn (and Sahlgren 1927-8, I, 78 proposes emendation), Wolff (1952, 105) argues that the point is that the kings are so fierce that even in death they are prepared for battle. Of is the expletive particle.
