Steinn Óldr 15II/2 — enskis ‘holding’
Hilmir gefr ok hjalma,
(hirð) svát enskis virðir,
(konungs prýða þau klæði)
kynstórr firum brynjur.
Dyggr lætr þungar þiggja
þengill af sér drengi
— vás launar svá vísi
verðung — Hôars gerðar.
Kynstórr hilmir gefr firum brynjur ok hjalma, svát virðir enskis; þau klæði prýða hirð konungs. Dyggr þengill lætr drengi þiggja af sér þungar gerðar Hôars; svá launar vísi verðung vás.
The highborn ruler gives men byrnies and helmets without holding back; those clothes adorn the king’s retinue. The loyal lord lets his warriors receive from him the heavy garments of Hárr <= Óðinn> [BYRNIES]; thus the leader repays his troop for hardship.
