Þloft Glækv 3I/5 — þar ‘there’

Þars Ôleifr
áðan byggði,
áðr hann hvarf
til himinríkis,
ok þar varð,
sem vitu allir,
kykvasettr
ór konungmanni.

Þars Ôleifr áðan byggði, áðr hann hvarf til himinríkis, ok þar, sem allir vitu, varð kykvasettr ór konungmanni.

Where Óláfr previously dwelt, before he departed to the heavenly kingdom, and there, as all know, he became enshrined alive, having been king.

notes

[5] þar ‘there’: That is, in Þrándheimr rather than in heaven (himinríki). These lines refer to Óláfr’s translation to a shrine in Clemenskirkja (Clemenskirken, S. Clement’s Church).
