Hróksv Hrkv 10VIII (Hálf 60)/2 — skeiðum ‘the warships’

Váru ekki svá margir         menn á skeiðum,
at vér á flótta         fyrri* heldim,
þó at miklu lið         minna hefðim,
svá at ellifu         einum gegndi.

Váru ekki svá margir menn á skeiðum, at vér heldim á flótta fyrri*, þó at hefðim miklu minna lið, svá at ellifu gegndi einum.

There were not so many men on the warships that we would take to flight earlier, although we had a much smaller host, so that eleven encountered one.
