This
helmingr (
Skáldþ Lv) is transmitted only in the version of
SnE preserved in W, where the poet is named as Skáldþórir. The modern designation of
lausavísa is retained here, despite possible indications to the contrary (see Note to l. 2). The stanza is also transmitted in mss
2368ˣ(96) and
743ˣ(75v) of the Y version of
LaufE, and it was copied from a
LaufE ms. in RE 1665(Ff 3). All of these versions ultimately derive from W, and neither
LaufE nor RE 1665 has been used in this edition.
