And it came to pass that Inglor and Galadriel were on a time the
guests of Thingol and Melian; for there was friendship between
the lord of Doriath and the House of Finrod that were his kin,
and the princes of that house alone were suffered to pass the
girdle of Melian. Then Inglor was filled with wonder at the
strength and majesty of Menegroth, with its treasuries and
armouries and its many-pillared halls of stone; and it came into
his heart that he would build wide halls behind everguarded gates
in some deep and secret place beneath the hills. And he opened his
heart to Thingol, and when he departed Thingol gave him guides,
and they led him westward over Sirion. Thus it was that Inglor
found the deep gorge of the River Narog, and the caves in its steep
further shore; and he delved there a stronghold and armouries
after the fashion of the mansions of Menegroth. And he called
that place Nargothrond, and made there his home with many of
his folk; and the Gnomes of the North, at first in jest, called him
on this account Felagund, or 'lord of caverns', and that name he
bore thereafter until his end. Yet Galadriel his sister dwelt never
in Nargothrond, but remained in Doriath and received the love of
Melian, and abode with her, and there learned great lore and
wisdom concerning Middle-earth.

The statement that 'Galadriel dwelt never in Nargothrond' is at
variance with what is said in GA $108 (p. 44), that in the year 102,
when Nargothrond was completed, 'Galadriel came from Doriath
and dwelt there a while'. - To this point the two forms of the rider
differ only in a few details of wording, but here they diverge. The
second form, in LQ 2, continues:

Now Turgon remembered rather the City set upon a Hill,
Tirion the fair with its Tower and Tree, and he found not what
he sought, and returned to Nivrost, and sat at peace in
Vinyamar by the shore. There after three years Ulmo himself
appeared to him, and bade him go forth again alone to the Vale
of Sirion; and Turgon went forth and by the guidance of Ulmo

he discovered the hidden vale of Tumladen in the encircling
mountains, in the midst of which there was a hill of stone. Of
this he spoke to none as yet, but returned to Nivrost, and there
began in his secret counsels to devise the plan of a fair city
[struck out: a memorial of Tirion upon Tuna for which his
heart still yearned in exile, and though he pondered much in
thought he]
For this concluding passage LQ 1 returns to the first rewriting given
at the beginning of this discussion of QS $101, 'But the heart of
Turgon remembered rather the white city of Tirion upon its hill ...'
The explanation of the differences in the two versions must be that a
first form of the rider (which has not survived) was taken up into
LQ 1, and that subsequently a second version was inserted into the
QS manuscript in its place, and so used in LQ 2.
