Hrauzk und jǫfri austan komnum
— bitu slǫg suðrœn — snekkja með stǫfnum,
þás skjǫldungs sonr af skipi sínu
sóknfœrr á sæ sunds kostaði.
Snekkja hrauzk með stǫfnum und jǫfri austan komnum—suðrœn slǫg bitu—, þás {sóknfœrr sonr skjǫldungs} kostaði sunds á sæ af skipi sínu.
‘The warship was cleared from stem to stern beneath the prince who had arrived from the east—southern weapons bit—, when the battle-able son of the king [= Sigurðr] tried swimming in the sea [by leaping] from his ship.’
When his ship had been cleared, Sigurðr jumped overboard, trying to save himself (he was a very strong swimmer).
