Raufsk við róstu — rymr varð í her —
helmingr Egils við Hlaðir útan.
Môttut hersar við Haða dróttni
láðgǫfguðum landi ráða.
Helmingr Egils raufsk við róstu útan við Hlaðir; rymr varð í her. Hersar môttut ráða landi við {láðgǫfguðum dróttni Haða}.
‘Egill’s unit scattered in the tumult out by Lade; a roar resounded throughout the army. The hersar could not hold the country against the land-endowed lord of the Haðar [NORWEGIAN KING = Magnús].’
In Mork and F, as st. 6. In H and Hr, the st. illustrates Magnús’s pursuit of Þórir and Egill, and it is placed after st. 4.
