This
þula (
Þul Hesta) is recorded in mss A and B (and
744ˣ) of
Skm (
SnE). In both mss, the
þula has the heading
Hesta heiti ‘Names for horses’ (in A, as usual, written in red ink). Most of the horse-names listed in st. 1 and many
heiti in sts 2-4 of the present
þula are mentioned in
Þorgrímsþula (Anon
Þorgþ I) and/or in
Kálfsvísa (Anon
Kálfv). The proper names of horses given in those
þulur are also treated as such in the present
þula, although some of these names are otherwise only attested as common nouns. In the
þulur-sequence
Þul Hesta is preceded by
Þul Orma and followed by
Þul Hauks (on the position of this
þula in the list, see Introduction to
Þul Orma). The
þula is not included in
LaufE or in RE 1665.
