Footnotes
[1] The numerical value of Plato’s World Soul is defined as the sum of 34numerical values which are derived from the tonal scale according to what isknown as the Tradition Construction of the World Soul. (See p. 229, Plato´sMathematical Imagination by Robert Brumbaugh. Accessible on the Internet.)
[2] The mouth and the tongue is the playfield of the words.
On that field are raised those letters, which comprise all speech,
and some liken such speech to harp strings
or keys locked in a symphony.
[3] Now the last age by Cumae’s Sibyl sung has come and gone, and the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew: justice returns, returns old Saturn’s reign, with a new breed of men send down from heaven. Only do thou, at the boy’s birth in whom the iron shall cease, the golden race arise, befriend him, chaste Lucina; ‘tis thine own Apollo reigns. And in thy consulate, this glorious age, O Pollio, shall begin, and the months enter on their mighty march. Under thy guidance, whatso tracks remain of our old wickedness, once done away, shall free the earth from never-ceasing fear. He shall receive the life of gods, and see heroes with gods commingling, and himself be seen of them, and with his father’s worth reign o’er a world of peace.

[5] Gizurr arrived at Reykjaholt on the night after Mauritius mass.
They brok up the storehouse, which Snorri slept in.
But he jumped up and out of the storehouse into the small houses which were by the storehouse.
There he found Arnbjörn priest and spoke to him.
They decided that Snorri should enter the basement which was under the ceiling there in the houses. Gizurr and his men began to search for Snorri in the houses.
Then Gizurr found Arnbjörn priest and asked where Snorri was.
He said that he did not know that.
Then Gizurr said that they could not make peace if they did not meet.
The priest said that he might perhaps be found if he was promised that his life would be spared. Thereafter they became aware of where Snorri was.
And they entered the basement, Markús Marðarson, Símon knútr,
Árni beiskr, Þorsteinn Guðinason, Þórarinn Ásgrímsson.
Símon knútr asked Árni to strike him dead.
“Thou shalt not strike,” said Snorri.
“You shall strike,” said Símon.
“Thou shalt not strike,” said Snorri.
After that Árni inflicted a fatal wound on him, and both he and Þorsteinn finished him off.
