In Hkr, as for st. 1. In Fsk, the prose preceding ll. 4-6 records that eight sons of Haraldr hárfagri had been killed with weapons before Hákon fell. Fsk introduces the second helmingr, sem Eyvindr segir skáldaspillir ok kvað svá sem konungrinn kœmi til Valhallar, fyrir því at sá var átrúnaðr heiðinna manna, at allir þeir er af sárum ǫnduðusk skyldu fara til Valhallar ‘as Eyvindr skáldaspillir says, and composed thus, as if the king were coming to Valhǫll, because it was the belief of heathens that all those who died of wounds should go to Valhǫll’.
