See the discussion in the Note to Bragi Rdr 11/5-6, as well as Note to Þul Óðins 4/5.

As st. 45 above.
[5]: The identity of Haraldr is not known, and Skj B and Skald emend to ‘Heðinn’. It is possible, however, that the version of the events as related in Hl was based on another variant of the story than the one found in the extant sources (see Hl 1941, 72).
