‘Battle-strengthener [WARRIOR], you let boats be lowered from above before the through-route of the giantess [CRAG]; the lord’s deeds against the Saracens have become famous. And you, battle-enterprising Þróttr <= Óðinn> of the din of Gǫndul’s <valkyrie’s> assembly [(lit. ‘din-Þróttr of Gǫndul’s assembly’) BATTLE > WARRIOR] advanced up the cliff toward the well-manned cavern with your followers.’
notes and context
Sigurðr laid siege to a cave on a cliff, in which marauding Moors had taken refuge. The Norsemen lowered two boats from above in front of the mouth of the cave and set fire to it.
