ABSTRACT This article examines the concept of ‘truth’ (soð) in Maxims II in order to argue for the emendation of the poem’s tenth line. It contends on the basis of a holistic analysis that the tenth line of Maxims II must have originally characterised ‘truth’ not as ‘most deceptive’ (swicolost) but as ‘most transparent’ (swutolost).

格言 II，第 10 行：真理和文本批评

摘要 本文考察了《马克西姆二世》中“真理”（soð）的概念，以支持对诗的第十行进行修正。它在整体分析的基础上争辩说，Maxims II 的第十行必须最初将“真相”描述为“最具有欺骗性”（swicolos）而是“最透明”（swutolost）。
