Hringrk Lv 2VIII (Frið 40)/1 — fræknum ‘bold one’

Gef ek þér fræknum         Friðþjófr, konu
ok alla með         eigu mína.

Friðþjófr, ek gef fræknum þér konu ok alla eigu mína með.

Friðþjófr, I give you, bold one, my wife and in addition all my possessions.

readings

[1] fræknum: frægum papp17ˣ, 1006ˣ, 173ˣ

notes

[1] fræknum ‘bold one’: The A redaction mss’ reading is preferred over B’s frægum ‘famous’, as inn frækni ‘the Bold’ appears to have been Friðþjófr’s nickname, oddly something expressed in the B text’s prose but not in A’s; cf. Note to Frið 21/7-8. Nevertheless, the adj. appears here in the A mss.
