GizGrý Lv 2VIII (Heiðr 109)/1 — enskis ‘nothing’

Ek mun þik enskis         eyris krefja,
né skjall*anda         skarfs ór gulli.
Þó mun ek ríða         ok rönd bera
Húna þjóðum         gunni at bjóða.

Ek mun krefja þik enskis eyris, né skjall*anda skarfs ór gulli. Þó mun ek ríða ok bera rönd at bjóða þjóðum Húna gunni.

I will demand from you nothing of silver, nor chinking coin of gold. Yet I will ride and bear a shield to offer battle to the people of the Huns.
