The stanza follows the wording of the prose text fairly closely. After Oddr’s party and that of Þórðr and Hjálmarr have fought each others for two days, Oddr is preparing to fight again, when Þórðr asks er þar fjárván á skipum þínum (Ǫrv 1888, 64-5) ‘is there expectation of money on your ships’? Oddr admits that there is not, so Þórðr suggests that it would be more sensible for the parties to enter into a fellowship together.
