Øngr sá ormvengis
ótti vígdróttir
fleiri flugstæris
fleins í stað einum.
Lukði lómblekkir
landa útstrandir
hríðar herskíðum
harðr ok randgarði.
{Øngr ótti {ormvengis}} sá fleiri vígdróttir {{fleins flug}stæris} í einum stað. {Harðr lómblekkir} lukði útstrandir landa {herskíðum hríðar} ok randgarði.
{No terror {of the snake-meadow}} [GOLD > GENEROUS MAN] saw more fighting-troops {of an increaser {of the spear’s flight}} [(lit. ‘of a flight-increaser of the spear’) BATTLE > WARRIOR] in one place. {The harsh deceit-destroyer} [JUST RULER] enclosed the outer shores of the lands {with the army-skis of the sea} [SHIPS] and the shield-fence.
Mss: F(121vb), 8(77v), Flat(185rb) (Hák)
Readings: [1] Øngr: Engr 8 [5] ‑blekkir: ‘hlecki’ Flat [7] hríðar: so 8, Flat, hríða F [8] ok: at Flat; rand‑: rann‑ F, ‘ran‑’ 8, ‘ránn’ Flat
Editions: Skj AII, 119-20, Skj BII, 127, Skald II, 68; F 1871, 571, Hák 1977-82, 195, Flat 1860-8, III, 218.
Context: As st. 1 above.
Notes: [3] flugstæris ‘of a flight-increaser’: Hap. leg. — [5-8]: This helmingr echoes SnSt Ht 79/1-4III. — [5] lómblekkir ‘deceit-destroyer [JUST RULER]’: Lit. ‘deceit-deceiver’. Hap. leg. — [7] herskíðum ‘army-skis’: Hap. leg. — [8] randgarði ‘the shield-fence’: I.e. ‘shield-wall’. See also Mark Eirdr 24/3 and SnSt Ht 79/4III. Ranngarði ‘the house-fence’ and rángarði ‘robbery-fence’ (so F, 8, Flat) make no sense in the context.
