this, however, C includes a small amount of Leg.
material which is not found in other Icelandic ver-
sions of Leg. A detailed treatment of the relationship
of the C texts to each other is not necessary here
but a few remarks will be made.
The C texts divide themselves into two groups,
C1-2 and C3’6. C1-2 share a number of errors and
omissions against C3í;, see, for example, the following
variants to C: 41 utlagi, 79 vænann, 92 þann unga
mann, 229 Tygris, 239 Montes Lunœ, 500 lata-mier.
C3'6 share a number of readings and omissions
against C1-2, see, for example, 140 blomstrumm, 161
þa hluti, 403-10 sem-þetta, 528 lciena, 657 anno 3445,
680-81 þeirra-eiru.
C1 cannot be a transcript of C2, for C1 is the older
MS. C2 cannot be a transcript of C1, for it sometimes
agrees with C3'6 against C1, see, for example, the
following variants: 209 frest, 262 fuglar, 424 Maxi-
milla, 573-74 villdi-lulca, 705 blód rennur, 818 ofann i.
C3”6 divide themselves into two groups, C3-5 and C6.
C3-5 share a number of readings and omissions against
C6, see, for example, 25 förn var, 38 audTcienningar
teikn, 60-76 og-þessi, 81-84 ej-dyrunumm, 548 2007,
645 Satann (ormurinn C3-5). None of the texts C3-5
can be transcripts of C6 for they are all longer than
this.
Q3-5 divide themselves into two groups, C3 and C4-5.
C3 has a number of readings which differ from those
in C4-5, see, for example, 23 fotumm tró'did, 37-38
setti gud þa, 195 og-upp, 305-6 þad-jöfnudi, 644
þad-specy, 744 Antiqva. C4-5 have a number of read-
ings which differ from those in C3, see, for example,
37 fara (vera C4-5), 148 afftur-paradysar, 316-17
allar riddara iþrottir (allar riddara listir C4, alla
