Skark súðum sund
fyr sunnan Hrund;
mín prýddisk mund
við mildings fund.
Skark sund súðum fyr sunnan Hrund; mund mín prýddisk við fund mildings.
I cut the sea with ship-sides south of Runde; my hand was adorned at the meeting with the munificent one.
Mss: R(38v), Tˣ(40r), A(13v), B(6r), 744ˣ(37r), C(8r) (SnE)
Readings: [1] Skark (‘Skar ek’): ‘[...]k’ B, Skar ek 744ˣ; súðum: súð um Tˣ, A [2] Hrund: lund A [3] mín: so A, B, C, minn R, Tˣ [4] við mildings fund: ‘[...]’ B, ‘uid mildings funnd’ 744ˣ
Editions: Skj AI, 475, Skj BI, 447, Skald I, 220; SnE 1848-87, I, 504-5, II, 453, 536, 601, SnE 1931, 177, SnE 1998, I, 97.
Context: Sund is given in Skm as a heiti for ‘sea’.
Notes: [1] súðum ‘with ship-sides’: See Note to Hharð Gamv 2/2. — [2] Hrund ‘Runde’: An island in Sunnmøre, western Norway. — [3] mund mín prýddisk ‘my hand was adorned’: Suggests that the skald was rewarded by the king for the poem. Because of the content of ll. 3-4, Fidjestøl (1982, 155) believed that the st. was likely placed towards the end of the poem. — [4] við fund mildings ‘at the meeting with the munificent one’: According to Hkr (ÍF 28, 331), Eysteinn was sínkr ok fégjarn ‘stingy and greedy’, but the encomium must have appealed to the generous side of his personality.
