Snæk Lv 1II/3 — beiðask ‘ask for’

Skalk aldrigi,         þótt ek ey lifa,
sýslu beiðask         á Sunnmœri,
þvít fluttu mik         fjandmenn þaðan
Bjǫrgynjar til         at boði hilmis.

Skalk aldrigi, þótt ek lifa ey, beiðask sýslu á Sunnmœri, þvít fjandmenn fluttu mik þaðan til Bjǫrgynjar at boði hilmis.

I shall never, though I may live forever, ask for a governorship in Sunnmøre, because my enemies brought me from there to Bergen at the bidding of the lord.
