Elena Gurevich (ed.) 2017, ‘Anonymous Þulur, Fiska heiti 3’ in Kari Ellen Gade and Edith Marold (eds), Poetry from Treatises on Poetics. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 3. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 855.

Fjǫrsungr, þrǫmmungr ok fengrani, hamarr, sandhverfa ok horngœla, marknútr, glǫmmungr ok marþvara, sílungr, skelfiskr, sverðfiskr ok lýr.
‘Weever, mailed sculpin and wels, porbeagle shark, turbot and garfish, sea scorpion, noise-maker and prawn, trout, shellfish, swordfish and pollack. ’
The order of heiti in ll. 2-8 in mss R(43v) and C(12v) differs from that of A, B and Tˣ:
Fjǫrsungr, þrǫmmungr ok marþvara,
sílungr, skelfingr, sverðfiskr ok lýr,
hamarr, sandhverfa ok horngœla,
marknútr, glǫmmungr ok fengrani.
Readings: [1] þrǫmmungr: ‘þrummungr’ C [2] mar-: jarn- C [4] lýr: lýrr C [5] hamarr: ‘humar’ C [7] glǫmmungr: so C, ‘glavmmvgr’ R. It cannot be ascertained whether the form this stanza has in A (main ms.), B and Tˣ is original, because it may reflect a later attempt to rearrange the incorrect verse in order to restore the alliteration missing in ll. 1-2, 7-8 of mss R and C. However, the defective alliteration of the R, C redaction, as well as the fact that ms. Tˣ follows the A, B redaction here, makes it likely that the order of lines as represented by A, B and Tˣ is correct. — Only one heiti (namely, lýr m. ‘pollack’ l. 8) out of the thirteen listed here occurs in poetry.
