notes
[7-8] unnum löskvan láðmann tekinn ‘we managed to capture a lazy guide’: According to the saga prose (Ǫrv 1888, 28-31), Oddr realises that a serving man (byrli) among the Permians can speak Norse, so he captures the man and takes him to his ship. The man later acts as a guide and tells the raiding party the whereabouts of a mound full of silver. Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) gives the word laðmann with a short <a>, but under LP: láðmaðr suggests that the word is probably the same as the láðmaðr ‘guide’ of Mark Eirdr 24/6II, the only other attested use in skaldic verse. Cf. NN §2603. The noun is generally considered a loan from OE lādmann ‘pilot, guide’, which has a long vowel in the first syllable.
