Arn Hryn 8II/1 — óðal ‘the patrimony’

Eignask namtu óðal þegna
allan Nóreg, gotna spjalli;
manngi ryðr þér mildingr annarr,
Mœra gramr, til landa œri.

Spjalli gotna, namtu eignask óðal þegna, allan Nóreg; manngi annarr mildingr, gramr Mœra, ryðr til landa œri þér.

Confidant of men [RULER], you came to win the patrimony of liegemen, all of Norway; no other monarch, lord of the Mœrir [NORWEGIAN KING = Magnús], will clear himself lands when younger than you.
