Refr Þorst 3III/2 — emk ‘I am’

En hoddvǫnuðr hlýddi
— hlunnvitnis emk runni
hollr — til hermðarspjalla
heinvandils Þórsteini.

En hoddvǫnuðr hlýddi Þórsteini til hermðarspjalla heinvandils; emk hollr runni hlunnvitnis.

And the gold-diminisher [GENEROUS MAN] [I] heeded Þorsteinn on the anger-words of the whetstone-Vandill [SWORD > BATTLE]; I am faithful to the bush of the roller-wolf [SHIP > SEAFARER].
