Hjálmarr inn hugumstóri gaf mér fimm bólstaði saman á fold. Ek unða auði, meðan aðrir kvöddu mik hringa ok heils friðar.
Hjálmarr inn hugumstóri (‘the Great-minded’) gave me five homesteads together in the land. I enjoyed my prosperity, while others demanded rings and sound peace from me.
[7] hringa: hringum all
[7] hringa ‘rings’: It is necessary to emend all mss’ hringum (dat. pl.) to hringa (gen. pl.), as kveðja ‘demand’ takes the acc. of the person and the gen. of the thing demanded.
