This stanza in
málaháttr (Anon
Þorgþ II) is another fragment of the poem called
Þorgrímsþula (see Introduction to
Þorgþ I). It enumerates names of oxen and is transmitted in mss R (main ms.),
Tˣ, U and C of
Skm (
SnE). In R,
Tˣ and C, the stanza is recorded after a prose list with names of mythical horses, and it is introduced with the words
Þessi øxna heiti eru í Þorgrímsþulu ‘These names of oxen are in Þorgrímr’s
þula’ (or something closely similar). In U,
Þorgþ II follows directly after
Kálfsvísa (Anon
Kálfv) without a prose link. The stanza is not transmitted in any other medieval source, nor is it included in
LaufE or RE 1665.
