Sigv Lv 21I/3 — und ‘under’

Hrafna sék til hafnar
— hræs minnask þeir — sinna,
þars flaut und nið nýtum
Norðmanna skip forðum.
Gjalla hôtt fyr Hillar
hvern dag frekir ernir,
endr þeirs Ôleifr grenndi,
innan, mǫrgu sinni.

Sék hrafna sinna til hafnar, þars skip flaut forðum und nýtum nið Norðmanna; þeir minnask hræs. Frekir ernir gjalla hôtt hvern dag fyr innan Hillar, þeirs Ôleifr grenndi endr mǫrgu sinni.

I see ravens travelling to the harbour, where a ship rode once under the able son of Norwegians [= Óláfr]; they remember the carrion. Greedy eagles shriek loudly every day in the lee of Hille, those which Óláfr fed formerly many a time.
