[5] breiðum: so 39, F, E, J2ˣ, breiðan Kˣ, papp18ˣ, breiða H, Hr
notes
[5] breiðum ‘broad’: The reading of most Hkr mss, and chosen also in ÍF 28. The Kˣ reading breiðan is equally viable, but it is isolated (though perhaps supported by breiða in H-Hr) and the Kˣ readings for œrnu (l. 1) and ríða (l. 3) are similarly out of line. In each case papp18ˣ confirms Kˣ as an accurate reflection of the all-but-lost Kringla.

notes
[7] ernir ‘brisk’: All mss except 39 read ‘ernir’, pointing to the m. nom. pl. of ern ‘brisk, vigorous’ or possibly of errinn ‘brisk, valiant’ (though as ÍF 28 notes this strictly would give errnir), rather than of œrinn ‘plentiful’ as assumed by some eds.
valda ‘bring about’
(not checked:)
valda (verb): cause
notes
[7-8] atblásendr valda því vási ‘inflamers bring about that trouble’: Blása at ‘blow at/upon’ is used especially of blowing a fire into a blaze, while vás n. is ‘toil, trouble’, especially in the context of hard, wet journeys beset by rain or sea-spray. The image is thus both literal and metaphorical, and has resonances with the storm-blown blaze in st. 6. Finnur Jónsson’s non-literal translation of átblásendr as ‘strife-makers’ (ufredsstiftere) in Hkr 1893-1901, IV and Skj B elicited an indignant response from Kock (NN §868).
at ‘in’
(not checked:)
at- ((prefix)): (prefix) < atblásandi (noun m.)
