Sjá þykkjaz þeir á sjálfum mér

Þeir þykkjaz sjá jötunkuml átta handa á mér sjálfum, er Hlórriði rænti bana Hergríms höndum fyr norðan hamar.
They think they can see the giant-marks of the eight arms on myself where Hlórriði <= Þórr> tore off the arms of Hergrímr’s slayer [= Starkaðr] north of the crag.
[6] fyr norðan hamar ‘north of the crag’: It is not certain whether this is a reference to a particular place or to a generalised rocky, northern setting appropriate to giants. Skj B and Skald capitalise Hamarr as a p. n. It is possible that R715ˣ’s location of the fight between Starkaðr and Hergrímr as ‘by the uppermost waterfall at Eið’ refers to the same place; Eið ‘isthmus’ is a common p. n. (see Note to Sigv Austv 2/1I).
