{Hvatr fylkir Hǫrða}, varðir, at grǫf góðra kviksettra geti lof*. Sól skínn æva á {fjǫldyggra {Yggs svan}gœli} an þik, siklingr.
‘Swift ruler of the Hǫrðar [NORWEGIAN KING = Sigurðr], may you ensure that the grave of the good holy ones obtains glory. The sun will never shine upon a more virtuous pleaser of Yggr’s <= Óðinn’s> swan [(lit. ‘Yggr’s swan-pleaser’) RAVEN/EAGLE > WARRIOR] than you, lord.’
notes and context
In Palestine, Sigurðr gave treasures to the Holy Sepulchre and to other holy places.
[1-4]: One must resort to emendations in the first helmingr because the readings of both mss make little sense and are unmetrical as well.
