text and translation

Sessunautar         ok sifjungar,
afspringr es þá         ok ættstuðill;
þá es ráðunautr         ok ráðgjafi,
þjónar ok þrælar,         þírr, ǫnnungar,
verkmenn, kefsar         ok vílmegir.

Sessunautar ok sifjungar, afspringr es þá ok ættstuðill; þá es ráðunautr ok ráðgjafi, þjónar ok þrælar, þírr, ǫnnungar, verkmenn, kefsar ok vílmegir.
 
‘Bench-partners and affines, offspring is next and family-pillar; then there is counsel-sharer and counsellor, servants and slaves, serf, labourers, workmen, captives and sons of toil.

notes and context

Some of the terms in this list are not otherwise attested in poetry: sifjungar ‘affines’ (l. 2), ráðunautr ‘counsel-sharer’ (l. 5), ǫnnungar ‘labourers’ (l. 8) and verkmenn ‘workmen’ (l. 9). — Ms. A has been chosen as the main ms. for this stanza, because ll. 6 and 10 are omitted in the R, , C redaction.
