ef vér Elfarsker öll kannaðim.
Sigldum síðan suðr með landi tállaust tveimr ok einu skipum. Væntu fengjar, þeir er vissu fyrir, ef vér kannaðim öll Elfarsker.
‘We sailed then south along the coast without deceit with three ships. They who knew beforehand hoped for booty, if we explored all the Götaälv skerries. ’
