text and translation
Grið lét ǫrr ok aura
Eirekr gefit stórum
— mjǫk leyfa þat þjóðir —
þegnum tólf með Vagni.
Ǫrr Eirekr lét gefit tólf stórum þegnum með Vagni grið ok aura; þjóðir leyfa þat mjǫk.
‘Generous Eiríkr had a truce and coins given to twelve mighty retainers together with Vagn; people praise that greatly. ’
notes and context
Eiríkr has the twelve Jómsvíkingar who join Vagn in accepting the truce released from their bonds.
For a helmingr allegedly uttered by a Jómsvíkingr on the point of execution, who was then given quarter, see Anon (Fsk). — On the text of sts 41-5, see Note to st. 41 [All].
