The text is introduced (Heiðr 1960, 56): Humli konungr sagði ‘King Humli said’.
Heiðr 1960 and Edd. Min. present this text as prose. If regarded as a long-line, the text does display vocalic alliteration. Skj B and Skald (cf. NN §3187) make conjectural emendations in ll. 3-4 to restore alliteration.
