Margaret Clunies Ross (ed.) 2017, ‘Ǫrvar-Odds saga 63 (Ǫrvar-Oddr, Lausavísur 28)’ in Margaret Clunies Ross (ed.), Poetry in fornaldarsögur. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 8. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 878.
Fæddi mik Ingjaldr upp í bernsku,
sá er Eikund réð ok Jaðar bygði.
Ingjaldr fæddi mik upp í bernsku, sá er réð Eikund ok bygði Jaðar.
‘Ingjaldr brought me up in my childhood, he who owned Ekund and lived in Jæren. ’
See Context for Ǫrv 63a.
As a helmingr self-identifying the hero, these lines may belong to a different version of the story of Ǫrvar-Oddr or, as Edd. Min. lxviii suggests, may relate to a different Ingjaldr. Ms. 173ˣ has only the first two lines of this helmingr.
