Þjóð Yt 21I/6 — gǫrvar ‘the clothes’

Ok við vág
†hinn es viðjar†

Ok glóðfjalgr
gǫrvar leysti
sonr Fornjóts
af Svía jǫfri.
Sá áttkonr

Ok hofgylðir svalg hræ Ôleifs við vág, †hinn es viðjar†. Ok glóðfjalgr sonr Fornjóts leysti gǫrvar af jǫfri Svía. Sá áttkonr kyns lofða hvarf frá Uppsǫlum fyr lǫngu.

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 ‘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. .
