main on P. Claussøn’s translation of the Kings’ sagas, together
with Supplementum (I 173) and Crymogæa (II 100—102). In
addition AJ has used Hålfdanar Jaåttr svarta in Flateyjarbok and
Kjalnesinga saga (cf. p. 427 above), see the following notes.
2 3 O15-16 Chronicon RR. Norveg.: Snorre Sturlesøns Norske
Kongers Chronica, 1633, p. 41.
23019 en Høffding: See op. cit. p. 38.
23027""28 ex aliis monumentis: See Flat. I 565-6, from where
the following account is derived.
23115-16 fåer eru friidare etc.: In Flat. (I 566) the expression
goes thus: “Pat er J)6 satt at segja, fostri minn, at får er fagr, ef
grætr”. A form doser to AJ’s: “Fåer eru fegre, J)å J>eir skiæla
sig”, is found in Gu8m. Olafsson’s collection of proverbs (from
the end of the seventeenth century), see Gudm. Olai Thesaurus
adagiorum, ed. G. Kallstenius, Lund 1930, p. 49. The adage evid-
ently existed in several forms, see M. Olavius, Specimen Lexici
Runici, 1650, p. 37: “Faer eru fegre Jmtt joeir fryne sig fostre,
qvad Barnid”; cf. the variants in Gudm. Olai Thesaurus, 1. c.
231 24-35 See Kjalnesinga saga (1911), p. 41 ff.
2323-4 Haraldur hard-raade: AJ has here confused Haraldr
hårfagri with Haraldr SigurSarson.
2328-15 See P. Claussøn’s translation of Kings’ sagas (1633),
p. 42. AJ’s version is not completely accurate and somewhat
abridged.
2337-9 Pax optima rerum etc.: Silius Italicus, Punica XI 592-4
(for datum read datum est, for melior read potior).
23321—23419 See Landn. (S) ch. 166. AJ has moved the chap-
ter here because BålkastaSir lies on the east side of Hruta-
fjorSur. Cf. note to III 22820.
23321 Blængi: Blængs Sk (except 108, 3: Klængs) ; Klængs S,
Klæings H, Blægings E*.
23329-2349 The legend recorded here of Bålki’s grave and the
stone placed over it by Grettir the Strong is not known from any
other source. In Grettis saga ch. 30 a stone is mentioned on
HrutafjarSarhåls, called Grettishaf, which Grettir is said to have
moved to its present position, but there is no reference to Bålki’s
grave. This stone can still be identified, see Jon Årnason, Is-
lenzkar JqoSsogur og æfintyri II (1864) p. 95; Kr. Kålund,
