Falk (1914a, 6) and Björn M. Ólsen (1915, 31) suggest that this exemplum (sts 11-14) is based on Gunnl, but Njörður Njarðvík (1991, 202-3) argues that there is only a general similarity of two friends loving the same woman, and suggests that Hávm 84, 97 and 114 are better parallels to this narrative. — [1]: 167bˣ’s damaged leaf makes the first l. impossible to read.
