Hróksv Hrkv 2VIII (Hálf 52)/5 —  ‘see’

Vildi engi         við Vifil jafnaz,
þó at Hámundar         hjarðar gætti.
ek öngan þar         svínahirði
huglausara         en Heðins arfa.

Engi vildi jafnaz við Vifil, þó at gætti hjarðar Hámundar. Þar ek öngan svínahirði huglausara en arfa Heðins.

No one would want to compare himself with Vifill, even though he tended Hámundr’s livestock. There I did not see any swineherd more faint-hearted than the heir of Heðinn [= Vifill].
