Þjóð Haustl 14III/2 — ótti ‘the terror’

Eðr of sér, es jǫtna
ótti lét of sóttan
hellis b*ǫr, á hyrjar,
haugs Grjótúna, baugi.
Ók at ísarnleiki
Jarðar sunr, en dunði
— móðr svall Meila blóða —
mána vegr und hônum.

Eðr of sér á baugi hyrjar, es ótti jǫtna lét of sóttan b*ǫr hellis haugs Grjótúna. Sunr Jarðar ók at ísarnleiki, en vegr mána dunði und hônum; móðr blóða Meila svall.

Furthermore one can see on the shield-ring of fire, where the terror of giants [= Þórr] made a visit to the tree of the cave of the mound of Grjótún [= Grjótúnagarðar > GIANT = Hrungnir]. The son of Jǫrð <goddess> [= Þórr] drove to the iron-play [BATTLE], and the path of the moon [SKY/HEAVEN] resounded beneath him; the anger of the brother of Meili [= Þórr] swelled.
