Magnús fekk þar miklu
— margs gengis naut — lengri
— valr nam vǫll at hylja
varmr — fylkingararma.
Þar fekk Magnús miklu lengri fylkingararma; naut margs gengis; varmr valr nam at hylja vǫll.
There Magnús got much more extended ranks of troops; he enjoyed the advantage of a large following; warm carrion began to cover the field.
