[5-8]: These ll. (except for the first two words of l. 5) are not included in 720a VI (and 399a-bˣ); a cross in the right margin of 720a VI draws attention to the omission. As medieval scribes regularly abbreviated repeated refrain helmingar and marked them with a cross in the margin, it is likely that the st. now numbered 4b was the last repeat of the poem’s first stef. If so, a considerable number of sts must have been lost, comprising the introduction (upphaf) and the first section of the stefjabálkr.
