Annat var, þá er inni.
Ek veitta ferð sveittri
högg með hvassri tuggu
Herjans suðr í skerjum
Elfar. Opt nam kólfi
Ormr hagliga at forma
mest, þá er Miðjungs traustir
mágar eptir lágu.

Annat var, þá er inni. Ek veitta högg með {hvassri tuggu Herjans} sveittri ferð suðr í skerjum Elfar. Ormr nam opt at forma kólfi hagliga mest, þá er {traustir mágar Miðjungs} lágu eptir.

It used to be different, when inside. I dealt blows with {the sharp mouthful of Herjan <= Fenrir(?)>} [SWORD] to the bloody host down south among the skerries of the Götaälv. Ormr often aimed with the arrow skilfully mostly when {the trusted kinsmen of Miðjungr <giant>} [GIANTS] were left lying.
