Einbani jarla hét á Háleygi sems á Holmrygi; fór til orrostu. Inn gjǫfli œgir Eydana hafði gótt gengi Norðmanna; stóð und árhjalmi.
The sole slayer of jarls [= Hákon] called on the Háleygir just as on the Hólmrygir; he went into battle. The munificent terrifier of Island-Danes [= Hákon] had the good support of the Norwegians; he stood under a helmet of metal.
[2] sems: sem F, FskBˣ, FskAˣ, sá er J1ˣ(62r), J2ˣ(58r)
[2] sems ‘just as’: The conj. sem and relative particle es; see LP: sems. Although only found in Kˣ, this is retained here since it is the reading of the main ms. and the lectio difficilior (so also Skj B).
