[3-4] öllum snauðum ... nam svella ‘all the poor ... did swell with sorrow’: The construction is impersonal. Cf. Acts IX.39: circumsteterunt illum omnes viduae flentes ‘all the widows stood about him weeping’; Pétr 40/20-1: Yfir þvi stoð mikill fioldi (621 fatækra manna ok) eckna, ok gretu miok ‘Over that (body) stood a great crowd (621: of poor people and) widows, and they wept greatly’.
