Þjóð Yt 23I/5 —  ‘now’

En Eysteinn
fyr ási fór
til Býleists
bróður meyjar.
Ok liggr
und lagar beinum
rekks lǫðuðr
á raðar braddi,
þars élkaldr
hjá jǫfur gauzkum
Vǫðlu straumr
at vági kømr.

En Eysteinn fór fyr ási til meyjar bróður Býleists. Ok liggr lǫðuðr rekks und beinum lagar á braddi raðar, þars élkaldr straumr Vǫðlu kømr at vági hjá gauzkum jǫfur.

And Eysteinn went because of the sail-yard to the maiden of the brother of Býleistr <mythological being> [= Loki > = Hel]. And now the inviter of the warrior [RULER] lies under the bones of the sea [STONES] at the edge of the ridge where the blizzard-cold stream of the Vaðla empties into the bay near the Gautish prince.
