Svá kom fylkis
framt lið saman
margspaks mikit
mildingi vilt,
at skip við skǫp
skarfǫgr of lǫg
hreins goðs heðan
hnigu sex tigir.
Svá mikit framt lið margspaks fylkis, vilt mildingi, kom saman, at sex tigir skip, skarfǫgr, hnigu of lǫg heðan við skǫp hreins goðs.
‘Such a large outstanding troop of the very sagacious leader, dear to the generous one [= Sigurðr], came together, that sixty ships, splendidly equipped with shields, glided across the ocean from here by the providence of the pure God.’
Sigurðr set out on his journey with sixty ships.
