Orkið, Ála serkjar

gagnprúðr Sigurðr magni.
Orkið, {{{Ála serkjar} él}festir}, mestum þrek; gagnprúðr Sigurðr berr magni of grimma ætt grams.
You perform, {strengthener {of the storm {of Áli’s <sea-king’s> shirt}}} [(lit. ‘storm-strengthener of Áli’s shirt’) BYRNIE > BATTLE > WARRIOR], the greatest deed of courage; victory-splendid Sigurðr overwhelms the fierce family of the ruler.
Mss: A(4v), W(103) (TGT)
Readings: [2] ‑festir: ‑festis W; þrek: þik W [3] berr: so W, beit A; grimma: so W, góma A
Editions: Skj AI, 488, Skj BI, 460, Skald I, 226; SnE 1848-87, II, 118, 411, TGT 1884, 78, 188-9, TGT 1927, 53, 97.
Context: The helmingr is given as an example of soloecismus as defined by Donatus, that is, the change of grammatical number for the same subject (2nd pers. pl. in the first couplet, and 3rd pers. sg. in the second).
Notes: [3] grimma ætt grams ‘the fierce family of the ruler’: The identity of this ruler is unknown, but Björn Magnússon Ólsen (in TGT 1884, 189) suggests that it refers to the prince of the Saracens (so also Finnur Jónsson in TGT 1927, 97).
