Þorm Lv 16I/1 — síz ‘since’

Sex hefk alls, síz óxu
ónhjalta Tý fjónir,
— kenndr emk við styr stundum —
stálregns boða vegna.
Þó emk enn at mun manna
morðs varliga orðinn
(vér létum þó þeira)
þrítøgr (skarar bíta).

Hefk vegna alls sex boða stálregns, síz fjónir óxu Tý ónhjalta; emk stundum kenndr við styr. Þó emk enn varliga orðinn þrítøgr at mun manna morðs; vér létum þó bíta skarar þeira.

I have killed, in all, six announcers of steel-rain [BATTLE > WARRIORS] since hostilities grew against the Týr <god> of sword-hilts [WARRIOR = me]; I am at times known for fighting. Yet I am still barely turned thirty, to the satisfaction of men of battle; we [I] nonetheless caused their scalps to be cleaved.
