Sigvaldi bað sína
sóknstranga vel ganga
— hann varat samr á sáttir —

Haralds arfi klauf hjálma
hildarǫrr ok skjǫldu;
framm gekk hann fyr hlífar
hart nakkvara snertu.
Sigvaldi bað sóknstranga sveit sína ganga vel á móti Hákuni; hann varat samr á sáttir. {Hildarǫrr arfi Haralds} klauf hjálma ok skjǫldu; hann gekk framm hart fyr hlífar nakkvara snertu.
‘Sigvaldi bade his attack-strong band advance strongly against Hákon; he was not willing for settlement. The battle-keen heir of Haraldr [= Sigvaldi] split helmets and shields; he pressed forward strongly before shields in a certain short attack. ’
