Tǫrgur, hausar Norðmanna trǫddusk fyr harðfótum hjalta Týs of bauga. Róma varð í eyju; konungar ruðu skírar skjaldborgir í blóði skatna.
Shields [and] Norwegians’ skulls were trampled under the hard feet of hilts [SWORDS] of the Týr <god> of rings [MAN]. Battle arose on the island; kings reddened gleaming shield-fortresses in the blood of men.

[2] Týs ‘of the Týr <god>’: For Týs/týs as proper name or common noun, see the Note to st. 1/2 Gautatýr, where the common noun appears more likely. In the present context of a stereotyped man-kenning, either is possible but a proper name is usual (cf. Meissner 260-3).
