text and translation
Nec nominabo;
pene monstrabo:
curuus est deorsum
nasus in apostata,
qui Sueion regem
de terra seduxit
et filium Tryggva
traxit in dolo.
Nec nominabo; pene monstrabo: nasus est curuus deorsum in apostata, qui Sueion regem de terra seduxit et filium Tryggva traxit in dolo.
‘I will not name [him]; I will almost indicate: the nose is bent downwards on the apostate who enticed King Sveinn from his realm and drew the son of Tryggvi on treacherously.’
notes and context
See Context to Stefnir Lv 1.
The Lat. rel. pron. qui ‘who’ (l. 5) refers back simply to apostata ‘apostate’ (l. 4), so it is possible but not necessary to assume that ll. 2-4 are intercalated, as they must be in the ON stanza (see Note to Stefnir Lv 1 [All]). — [5-6]: Sigvaldi jarl feigns illness in order to lure Sveinn tjúguskegg ‘Fork-beard’ to Jómsborg; see further Note to Stefnir Lv 1/5-6.
