- (28v:19) "hiole" on the left margin;
- (29v:11) "griper" on the left margin;
- (30r:23) "Enn mier" on the right margin;
- (33r:14) "Stadr" on the right margin.

Árni Magnússon: OwnerÁrni Magnússon got the manuscript in 1702.
AM 285 4to was once part of a larger codex which was divided up by Árni Magnússon.
The first part of the codex is now preserved in AM 342 4to, followed
by AM 285 4to and AM 587c 4to. According to a now
lost note by Árni Magnússon in AM 342
4to, the last part of the codex contained a now lost
Sálus saga ok Nikanórs and maybe
more lygisögur.
