notes
[All]: The text of the second helmingr in 109a IIIˣ and in the original text of papp6ˣ is defective. There are only three, rather than four, verse lines and the lines themselves are unmetrical. On the other hand, the text of the second helmingr in ÍBR5ˣ is largely metrical, and has been taken as the base ms. for ll. 5-8 of this stanza. All mss are in agreement on ll. 1-4. All previous eds, with the exception of Valdimar Ásmundarson (1885-9) and HjǪ 1970, which use the ÍBR5ˣ text, have presented a text of ll. 5-8 based on the later alterations to the text of papp6ˣ, which are of unknown origin. This text is printed below: [[ALT]] Translation: that suited very well the wise prince, the well-born heroes and the ruler’s troop. Skj B and Skald have sveinum ‘youths’ instead of liði ‘troop’ in l. 8, but other eds retain liði.
