The list of names in OStór 9-10 is possibly imitated from a similar list in Hjálm Lv 15-19 (Ǫrv 26-30), although few of the names are exactly the same. Starri appears in Hjálm Lv 15/6 (Ǫrv 26). The roll-call of heroic names, none of whom appear in the prose of OStór, is a convention of some early Germanic heroic poetry, and of poetry in fornaldarsögur that follows this mode; cf. Faulkes (2011b, 33 n. 2). For the metrical characteristics of OStór 9 and 10, see Introduction.
