Sex ein eru seggja fylki,
í fylki hverju fimm þúsundir,
í þúsund hverri þrettán hundruð,
í hundraði hverju halir fjórtaldir.
Eru ein sex fylki seggja, í hverju fylki fimm þúsundir, í hverri þúsund þrettán hundruð, í hverju hundraði fjórtaldir halir.
There are around six troops of warriors, in each troop [are] five thousand, in every thousand thirteen hundreds, in every hundred men four times counted.
[6] hundruð: manna placed in parentheses in another hand 203ˣ, manna R715ˣ
[6] hundruð ‘hundreds’: The reading of the mss, manna ‘of men’ (with parentheses as signs of deletion in another hand in 203ˣ) would be distinctly underwhelming. The emendation (made by all eds) can be safely assumed on the basis of the pattern of repetition across ll. 2-3 and 4-5.
