Anon Sól 29VII/6 — er ‘who’

Síðla ek kom        snemma kallaðr
        til dómsvalds dura;
þangat ek ætlumz;        því mér heitit var;
        sá hefr krás, er krefr.

Ek kom síðla, kallaðr snemma til dura dómsvalds; ek ætlumz þangat; því var mér heitit; sá hefr krás, er krefr.

I came late, [I was] called early to the doors of the ruler of judgement; I intend to go there; that was promised to me; he who asks gets the delicacy.

readings

[6] er: so papp15ˣ, 738ˣ, 214ˣ, 1441ˣ, 10575ˣ, 2797ˣ, om. 166bˣ

notes

[6] er ‘who’: Omitted by 166bˣ only, but is required by the syntax. Cf. John X.9: ego sum ostium per me si quis introierit salvabitur et ingredietur et egredietur et pascua inveniet ‘I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures’.
