Griffiths only vaguely identifies this as a "Norwegian charm, written down in the 19th century", citing Stanley (1975), p. 84 and Stone (1993). The century dating conflicts with Grimm and Bang's attribution. Stanley, Eric Gerald (1975). The Search for Anglo-Saxon Paganism. ISBN 9780874716146. Stone, Alby (1993). "The second Merseburg Charm".

Fortunately Thorpe (1851), pp. 23–4, vol.1 provides an English translation side by side with the Swedish charm, and clarifies that the condition, in Swedish floget or the 'flog' is "horse distemper". Grimm says it corresponds to German: anflug or a "fit" in English, but it is hard to find any sources precisely defining this. Thorpe, Benjamin (1851).
