text and translation
Uppgǫngu vann yngvi
arflógandi gnóga;
gerði hilmir Hǫrða
hjǫrþey á Skáneyju.
Arflógandi yngvi vann gnóga uppgǫngu; {hilmir Hǫrða} gerði {hjǫrþey} á Skáneyju.
‘The wealth-squandering sovereign launched an ample advance ashore; the prince of the Hǫrðar [NORWEGIAN KING = Magnús] caused a thawing wind of swords [BATTLE] on Skåne (Skáney).’
notes and context
In H-Hr, Magnús pursues Sveinn and his surviving troops to Skåne (Skáney), going ashore and ravaging there. In Fsk, the context is similar, although it is not suggested that Magnús was pursuing Sveinn. In Flat, the st. follows immediately st. 13 and ÞjóðA Magnfl 17.
Fsk Aˣ lacks this st. and the introduction to st. 17, so that the sentences about the raid on Skáney are incongruously followed by st. 17, about the raid on Falster (Falstr).
