NOTES
LangfeSgatal, cf. Olrik, Aarb. 1894, p. 158. This is clearly
shown by the faet that in LangfeSgatal Danr mikillåti succeeds
him, see note to I 336\ In LangfeSgatal Olafr Ktillåti is the son
of Vermundr vitri, and the same is found in Saxo, Book IV, ch. 5
(p. 100), where it is said that Vermundr’s son, Uffo, is called
“a compluribus” Olavus mansuetus—evidently a combination of
Icelandic and Danish sources. Cf. Olrik, Kilderne til Sakses old-
historie I 114; id. in Festskrift til L. Wimmer, p. 138 ff. and
Danmarks heltedigtning II 232.
33720 qvod: Thus the manuscript, probably in error for qvoad.
33734 \Vellejus, edito suo Daniæ proæmio: A. Velleius, Oratio
de origine appellationis regni Daniæ, Slesvigæ 1584, especially
fols. B 3V-C iv.
33815—23 Corresponds to Hkr. I 55-14. Here it is also said that
Danr inn mikillåti introduced the custom of mound-burial into
Denmark (not included in the prologue to OH), which shows
that Snorri’s source for this passage must have been Skjpld.,
from which AJ certainly also obtained his information.
33919 Ingam: Only named here; Snorri in Yngl. mentions no
daughter of Yngvi Alreksson.
33924 Halfdanus: His conquest of Sweden is spoken of in
Yngl. (Hkr. I 45) ; the reason for it was given in Skjqld., Hålf-
dan’s mother, Inga, being the daughter of Yngvi Alreksson. Cf.
Olrik, Aarb. 1894, p. 143, and the Introduction above, p. 112.

heltedigtning II i8off.
34017-18 Octimanus . . Starcardus: As has already been ob-
served by Jon Helgason (Festskrift til Falk, 1927, p. 225), AJ’s
remark on StarkaSr Åludrengr is not derived from HeiSreks
saga in Hauksbåk (as supposed by Olrik, Aarb. 1894, p. 110),
but in the main from Gautreks saga (Ranisch, p. 12). AJ has
however two details which are not in Gautreks saga: 1) that
StarkaSr Åludrengr was “Storverki filius”; 2) that Lårr met
StarkaSr alone in a boat “in sinu Finnico”, where Lårr drowned
him after having torn his arms off (only this point is discussed
by Jån Helgason, 1. c.). The U-recension o'f HeiSreks saga (p.
90) says that StarkaSr Åludrengr was a son of Stårvirkr, but
this is not found in other sources. As Jån Helgason has shown in
