Hannah Burrows (ed.) 2017, ‘Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks 116 (Gizurr Grýtingaliði, Lausavísur 6)’ in Margaret Clunies Ross (ed.), Poetry in fornaldarsögur. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 8. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 484.
text and translation
Eigi gera Húnar oss felmtraða, né hornbogar yðar.
Húnar gera eigi oss felmtraða, né hornbogar yðar.
‘The Huns do not make us frightened, nor [do] your horn bows. ’
notes and context
The couplet is introduced (Heiðr 1960, 56), Gizurr mælti ‘Gizurr said’.
This fragment is presented as prose by all eds but Heiðr 1873 (with conjectural emendations), NK and the Modern Icelandic edn by Jón Helgason (1967, 243). As it stands l. 1 is metrically too long.
