Hróksv Hrkv 6VIII (Hálf 56)/4 — sætti ‘amounted’

Mæla virðar,         þeir er vitu ekki,
at Hálfs frami         heimsku sætti.
Kann ekki sá         konung háleyskan,
er heimsku þrótt         honum eignaði.

Virðar, þeir er vitu ekki, mæla, at frami Hálfs sætti heimsku. Sá kann ekki háleyskan konung, er eignaði honum þrótt heimsku.

Those men, who do not know, say that Hálfr’s courage amounted to foolishness. He does not know the king from Hålogaland, who ascribed the valour of foolishness to him.
