Þjóð Haustl 19III/5 — þar ‘there’

Ok harðbrotin herju
heimþingaðar Vingnis
hvein í hjarna mœni
hein at Grundar sveini,
þar svát eðr í Óðins
ólaus burar hausi
stála vikr of stokkin*
stóð Eindriða blóði,

Ok harðbrotin hein heimþingaðar herju Vingnis hvein at sveini Grundar í mœni hjarna, svát vikr stála, eðr ólaus í hausi burar Óðins, stóð þar, of stokkin* blóði Eindriða,
