Þegnar alfegnastir hljóta ey alt it góða í sælu með {ítrum vörð {sólar slóðar}}. Krossmark ins hæsta Krists vinnr krapt alls bezt {viðum hnossa}; öll dýrð lofar {æztan konung fyrða}.
‘Thanes joyous beyond measure obtain forever every good thing in blessedness with the glorious guardian of the sun’s track [SKY/HEAVEN > = God]. The cross-sign of the most-high Christ gains power best of all for trees of treasures [MEN]; all glory exalts the highest king of men [RULER = Christ].’
[5-8]: B gives only an incipit of the stef ‘refrain’, with the same scribal error (Kristr for Krists) as in 13/5. A marginal obelos (†) indicates occurrence of the stef; see Note to 13/5.
