notes

[1] Krít, Kípr ‘Crete, Cyprus’: See Krít in Árm Lv 4/8II. Kípr is not attested in other poetic sources, but cf. this p. n. in Magnússona saga (MsonaHkr ch. 11, ÍF 28, 252), Knýtlinga saga (Knýtl ch. 81, ÍF 35, 238) and in a learned text describing náttúrusteinar ‘stones possessing virtues’ (Hb 1892-6, 228).
