notes
[4]: Kahle 1898, 109 notes that the ms. reading ‘herrkædis’ makes no sense and does not provide aðalhending. Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) takes herr as the subject of virði (l. 1), and kæðis as kvæðis, gen. sg. of kvæði, but merely observes that at væri is corrupt. Kock (NN §1715) proposes the emendation adopted here of ms. ‘væri’ to verri (late comparative dat. pl.: cf. ANG §435, Anm. 1).
