Anon (FoGT) 6III/2 — sólar ‘of the sun’

Sjálfráði dó síðan
sólar fróns að nóni,
sá er hiekk, en dag dökkti,
döglingr, á jarnnöglum.

Döglingr fróns sólar, sá er hiekk á jarnnöglum, dó síðan sjálfráði að nóni, en dag dökkti.

The king of the land of the sun [SKY/HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)], who hung on iron nails, then died of his own volition at nones, and the day grew dark.
