text and translation
Hykk í hundraðs flokki
Haralds bróðurson stóðu
— hrafn vissi sér hvassast
hungrbann — framast manna.
Vítt lá Vinða flótti;
varð, þars Magnús barðisk,
hǫggvinn valr at hylja
heiði rastar breiða.
Hykk {bróðurson Haralds} stóðu framast manna í hundraðs flokki; hrafn vissi sér hvassast hungrbann. Flótti Vinða lá vítt; hǫggvinn valr varð at hylja rastar breiða heiði, þars Magnús barðisk.
‘I believe the brother’s son of Haraldr [= Magnús] stood foremost of the men in a force of a hundred; the raven knew there was the strictest ban on hunger. The Wends forced to flee lay far and wide; the felled slain came to cover the heath a league wide, where Magnús fought.’
notes and context
The scene is still Lyrskovshede (Hlýrskógsheiðr) (see Context to st. 6). The enemy soon flee, and an immense number are slain. Flat attributes the st. to Sigvatr [Þórðarson].
