Þiðreks saga af Bern
„Hier hefst Su A|giæta Saga Af Þeim Vijdfr|æga Herra Þidrek Könge af | Bern, Og koma vid þessa Søgu marger adrer Herrar og frægdar menn af Jmsumm løndumm “
According to Árni Magnússon this manuscript is a copy of Eiðagás, a parchment manuscript in quarto which perished during the Copenhagen fire of 1728. This is the reason the text deviate from the text in AM 178 fol., a copy of Bræðratungubók which presumably also got destroyed in the Copenhagen fire.
