Skapti Frag 1III/2 — mestr ‘greatest’

Máttr es munka dróttins
mestr; aflar goð flestu;
Kristr skóp ríkr ok reisti
Róms hǫll verǫld alla.

Máttr dróttins munka es mestr; goð aflar flestu; ríkr Kristr skóp alla verǫld ok reisti hǫll Róms.

The power of the lord of monks [= God] is greatest; God brings everything about; the mighty Christ created the whole world and raised up the hall of Rome.
