StarkSt Vík 1VIII (Gautr 9)/3 — frækna ‘of bold men’

Þá var ek ungr,         er inni brann
frækna fjölð         með feðr …
þjóðnær vági         fyr Þrumu innan.

Ek var ungr þá, er fjölð frækna brann inni með feðr … þjóðnær vági fyr innan Þrumu.

I was young then, when a crowd of bold men burnt inside with … father very near the bay inside of Tromøy.

readings

[3] frækna: flokna 152, papp11ˣ

notes

[3] frækna ‘of bold men’: Edd. Min., Skj B, Skald and FSGJ have preferred the reading flotna ‘of seamen’, which occurs in one ms., AM 194a folˣ, a ms. close to papp11ˣ but not wholly dependent on it (Gautr 1900, iv-v).
