Hykk í hundraðs flokki
Haralds bróðurson stóðu
— hrafn vissi sér hvassast
hungrbann — framast manna.
Vítt lá Vinða flótti;
varð, þars Magnús barðisk,
hǫggvinn valr at hylja
heiði rastar breiða.
Hykk bróðurson Haralds stóðu framast manna í hundraðs flokki; hrafn vissi sér hvassast hungrbann. Flótti Vinða lá vítt; hǫggvinn valr varð at hylja rastar breiða heiði, þars Magnús barðisk.
I believe the brother’s son of Haraldr [= Magnús] stood foremost of the men in a force of a hundred; the raven knew there was the strictest ban on hunger. The Wends forced to flee lay far and wide; the felled slain came to cover the heath a league wide, where Magnús fought.
[1] hundraðs: ‘hundat’ 321ˣ
[1] hundraðs ‘hundred’: The sense may well be approximate, as suggested in ÍF 28 (cf. Hkr 1893-1901, IV), but this is not proven by herr er hundrað ‘a host consists of a hundred’, which ÍF 28 cites from Skm, since the context there is a list of terms for groups and the number of men each of them designates (SnE 1998, I, 107).
