ÞjóðA Magnfl 17II/8 — dǫrrum ‘with spears’

Hizig laut, es heitir
Helganes, fyr kesjum
(sukku sárir rekkar)
Sveins ferð (bana verðir).
Mætr helt mǫrgu spjóti
Mœra gramr í snœri;
odd rauð aski studdan
ǫrr landreki dǫrrum.

Ferð Sveins laut fyr kesjum hizig, es heitir Helganes; sárir rekkar sukku, verðir bana. Mætr gramr Mœra helt mǫrgu spjóti í snœri; ǫrr landreki rauð dǫrrum odd aski studdan.

Sveinn’s troop stooped before halberds there, where it is called Helgenæs; wounded champions sank down, deserving death. The excellent lord of the Mœrir [NORWEGIAN KING = Magnús] held many a spear in its thong; the valiant land-ruler reddened with spears the point hafted [lit. supported] with ash.
