The first three sts of Ingadrápa ‘Drápa about Ingi’ (Kolli Ingdr) are attributed to Kolli. The last two, which are transmitted only in Mork (Mork), are said to come from a drápa about King Ingi (Mork 1928-32, 433): sva segir idrapo I. konvngs ‘thus it is told in the drápa about King Ingi’. Jón Sigurðsson (SnE 1848-87, III, 362-3) believed that these two sts belonged to Einarr Skúlason’s Ingadrápa (ESk Ingdr), but, as Fidjestøl (1982, 159) points out, there are sufficient stylistic and contextual similarities between the first three and the last two sts to warrant the attribution to Kolli. Stanzas 1 and 2 are preserved in their entirety in Mork and F (which is a Mork ms. here). The first helmingar of sts 1-2 are also recorded in mss Kˣ, 39, E, J2ˣ and 42ˣ of HsonaHkr and in H, Hr (H-Hr). In 42ˣ sts 1/1-4 and 2/1-4 are written together without intervening prose. Stanza 3 is transmitted in Mork, Hkr and H-Hr, and sts 4-5 only in Mork. Mork has been chosen as the main ms. The sts commemorate the battles of Minne (sts 1-2), Sörbygden (st. 3) and Holmengrå (sts 4-5). The order of the sts is determined by the chronology of events they describe. Because Kolli addresses Ingi directly in sts 1, 3-5, the poem must have been composed prior to Ingi’s death (1161). Ingdr contained a split refrain (klofastef; see also Stúfr Stúfdr and Steinn Óldr), but the refrain is incomplete and only one l. remains (see Note to st. 2/4 below).
