Mjök eruð orðnir, Arngríms synir,
megir meingjarnir at moldarauka,
er engi skal sona Eyfuru
við mik mæla í Munarvági.
Synir Arngríms, meingjarnir megir, eruð mjök orðnir at moldarauka, er engi sona Eyfuru skal mæla við mik í Munarvági.
‘Sons of Arngrímr, kinsmen keen on harm, you have greatly become the increase of the earth, since none of the sons of Eyfura will speak with me in Munarvágr. ’
