And the temple-wolf [FIRE] swallowed the corpse of Óláfr near the bay, †...†. And the ember-hot son of Fornjótr <giant> [FIRE] loosed the clothes from the ruler of the Swedes. That descendant of the kindred of rulers [KINGS > KING] disappeared from Uppsala long ago.
[6] gǫrvar: gǫtvar J1ˣ, J2ˣ, R685ˣ
[6] gǫrvar ‘the clothes’: The J transcripts have gǫtvar ‘clothes’, which is adopted in most previous eds (Yt 1925; Åkerlund 1939, 110; ÍF 26) as the more common word (see LP: gǫrvar, gǫtvar). This edn follows the main ms. Kˣ.
