Vann Róms gǫtu        ræsir Þrœnda
fœti farna,        sás frama drýgði.
Sótti síðan        ok synðum hrauð
hers oddviti        helga dóma.

{Ræsir Þrœnda}, sás drýgði frama, vann farna gǫtu Róms fœti. Síðan sótti oddviti hers helga dóma ok hrauð synðum.

{The ruler of the Þrœndir} [NORWEGIAN KING = Sigurðr], who increased his honour, travelled the road to Rome on foot. Then the leader of the army visited holy shrines and expiated his sins.

Mss: Mork(32v) (Mork)

Editions: Skj AI, 495, Skj BI, 467, Skald I, 229; Mork 1867, 203, Mork 1928-32, 408, Andersson and Gade 2000, 368, 491 (Sslemb).

Context: From Scotland Sigurðr proceeded to Rome, Palestine and the River Jordan, visiting holy shrines.

Notes: [All]: See Note to st. 3 [All]. Hkr (ÍF 28, 297) places the pilgrimage before Sigurðr’s stays in Orkney and Scotland, whereas Orkn (ÍF 34, 217) agrees with Mork in describing his progress from Scotland to Rome.
