[7-8] Erlingr beið andrán til árla ‘Erlingr … was robbed of life too soon’: Beið andrán is lit. ‘suffered breath-robbery’. An oppositional attitude to Óláfr seems to be expressed here. See Context above and compare especially Sigv Erlfl and Sigv Erl 1. On Erlingr see also ‘Biographies of other dignitaries’ in Introduction to this volume.
