Arflógandi yngvi vann gnóga uppgǫngu; hilmir Hǫrða gerði hjǫrþey á Skáneyju.
The wealth-squandering sovereign launched an ample advance ashore; the prince of the Hǫrðar [NORWEGIAN KING = Magnús] caused a thawing wind of swords [BATTLE] on Skåne (Skáney).
[1, 2] gnóga uppgǫngu ‘an ample advance ashore’: It is unnecessary to emend to m. acc. sg. gnógan, and to construe it with hjǫrþey ‘battle’ (as in Skj B and LP: gnógr). There are close textual parallels to Arn Hardr 10/1 and Þham Magndr 5/1.
