==Annotation== 

In the ... article the author discusses material he has found concerning the city of Lund in Icelandic sources. He points out that according to Landnámabók (The Book of Settlement) one of the first discoverers of Iceland was Swedish. His name, his father's name and the name of his slave, which is found in a South Swedish placename, indicate that this story is not absolutely without foundation.
Much more dubious is the episode in Egils saga Skallagrímssonar in which Egill participated in an attack on Lund about 936. If this story, however, is true the first occurrence of the name Lund is found in a strophe which Egill is said to have composed on this occasion. Many philologists think that this strophe is genuine.

==Lýsing==

Í þessari grein fjallar höfundur um efni í íslenskum heimildum sem snerta Lund í Svíþjóð. Hann bendir á að samkvæmt Landnámabók hafi einn af þeim fyrstu sem fundu Ísland verið sænskur maður. Nafn hans, föður hans og þræls hans, sem endurómar í sænsku örnefni, gefa til kynna að frásögnin sé ekki úr lausu lofti gripin. Mun vafasamari sé lýsing Eglu á því þegar Egill Skallagrímsson tekur þátt í áhlaupinu á Lund 936. Ef þessi saga er samt sönn þá sé elsta dæmið um að Lundur sé nefndur á nafn vísan sem fullyrt er að Egill hafi sett saman við þetta tækifæri. Margir textafræðingar telja að vísan sé réttilega eignuð Agli.
