‘The son of Óláfr inn digri (‘the Stout’) [= Magnús] had previously cleared seven ships; the ruler won victory; women from Sogn will not receive such news with sorrow.’
Within the narrative of the sea-battle off Århus (Áróss), the st. is cited as evidence that Magnús seized seven ships from Sveinn’s troops.
