damaged portion of the text can be reconstructed with a fair degree of
certainty. The transcript that follows is not meant to serve as a basis for
paleographical or linguistic analysis, but rather to illustrate the argu-
ment of this note. I follow the editorial practices and symbols used by
Stefan Karlsson and described in Islandske Originaldiplomer indtil
1450, Editiones Amamagnæanæ Series A vol. 7 (Copenhagen, 1963) p.
lxvii f., with the exception that the line breaks of the manuscript have
been reproduced in order to better illustrate the argument. Accent marks
represent fine lines which do not necessarily indicate vowel length.
Suggestions regarding omissions in the manuscript follow the edition of
Kr. Kålund in Alfrædi Islenzk (pp. iv ff.), who studied the manuscript in
its entirety nearly a century before the recent restoration made parts of the
text less legible than they were in his day. In addition to the manuscript it-
self, I examined photographs that were made before the restoration.

Textual notes
1. 5: The bottom of the thom in “peffir” has been lost.
1. 10: Although the first “n” of “finnland” has been lost to a lacuna, the nasal
abbreviation above it is clearly visible. Traces of the “e” in “er” are visible
in the photograph. The upper part of the initial “t” and the “1” as well as the
stroke over the “i” in “talfth” are visible. For this spelling see Alfrædi p. xv.
1.11: Traces of “u” in “gautlandi” are visible on the photographs. I follow
Kålund’s suggestion and insert “sagt”.
1. 13: The first “n” in “hinn” has been lost to a hole, but the abbreviation
stroke above it is still visible. The bottom parts of the letters “il” in “huilir”
are visible.
