the sources of specimen lexici runici 63
105 Raas: Ecke var langt ádur Gisle kastade vapnum og hefur a rás (192). —
The MSS have: “Skiptust þeir þá fám höggum við, áðr en Gísli ...”
17 Blendingur and 104 Qvida. Both these quotations contain verse 55 on p. 204.
The first has in 1. 4 hamars grimur (DG 55: grimm), and the second has
hamars grymu. The editions have hamarsbúa ,and 1714 and 611 have hamars
brynju, but no MS has anything similar to the readings of SLR.
Some of these readings may be mere errors made in the copying
of the glossary, and some may be the result of the quotations having
been made inaccurately from memory. In some cases the compiler
may purposely have paraphrased the passages, since he evidently did
not think it necessary to give the exact vvords merely for the purpose
of illustrating the usages (see above p. 53). But some quotations
doubtless represent readings which were peculiar to the MS used.
Below is given a complete list of the quotations in SLR from Grett-
is Saga:33

ordum og tiltektum (36).

1,1 References are to pages in ÍF VII. — The quotations from tliis saga which
are not in DG 55 (preceded in this list by a star) were probably omitted from
'hat MS accidentally, as they seem to be from the same MS as the other quota-
Vons, and so were almost certainly all in the original glossary of Magnús Ólafs-
son.
