I484-12 See op. cit. pp. 8-9.
14814 Fernioto: AJ ahvays writes the name Fornjåtr thus (in
Crymogæa too) ; it is certainly the result of a misreading.
14814-22 See I 157-63.
148”—149® The genealogies of the earliest kings of Denmark
were certainly derived from Skjgldunga saga, cf. AJ’s words I
14910-12. From his remark there it also appears that the con-
tinuation of the family-tree came from a different source. The
list up to and including Roas differs in several respects from the
list in Flat. I 26—7, but it does agree in the main with the list in
Flat. I 2724-29; there are only some minor differences of detail:
in place of Frodo I Flat. has Fridfrodi, and in place of Havar-
dus, Hauar enn handrammi; Dan II (i493-4) is not named in
Flat. From this may be concluded that Flat. I 2 724-29 goes back to
the same source as was used by AJ, i.e. Skjgldunga saga. Cf.
Olrik, Aarb. 1894, p. 139.
14913—15013 (genealogy of Haraldr hårfagri). Seems to be
taken from Flat. I 2 729~34, in direct continuation of the list dis-
cussed in the preceding note (cf. Olrik, Aarb. 1894, pp. 138-9,
who thought that the source was “one of the usual Icelandic ge-
nealogies from Adam”). AJ has made a few minor additions:
I4916-17 on HeiSrek’s daughter, see I 35328; 14921-22 Haraldus
Hildetan is added, see I 354®; I505-13 the list of Danish kings
from Hordecanutus I onward is added, see I 360ff.
15o22 Kar, reger: Undoubtedly a scribal error in our manu-
script. As suggested in the footnote ad loc., it is most natural to
assume that AJ had written Kåre, Hiær (Hier), cf. I 158-9.
15029— 15128 In the word-list AJ has not, of course, distin-
guished between words of common Germanic origin and later
loan-words in Icelandic. For AJ’s subsequent reflections on the
language, see the fuller discussion in Crymogæa, II 25-30, and
above, pp. 66-7.
15210—15324 This comparison with Tacitus is based on the Ger-
mania; the twelve points noted by AJ are found in the following
chapters of that work: no. 1 : c. 3; 2-3 : c. 11; 4: c. 1255:0. 16;
6-7 : c. 18; 8-9 : c. 19; 10-11: c. 21; 12 : c. 24.—The quotations
from Tacitus are for the most part verbatim.
