Valdr rausnar réð at halda ór víðri Rúmsborg, þás hringþollr hǫppum reifðr hafði fingit skaða. Tveir synir tilstýranda tírar ok móðir þeira fóru *braut með fróðum beiti byrstóðs.
The possessor of splendour [NOBLEMAN] left the great city of Rome, when the ring-fir, blessed with victories [MAN], had received injury. The two sons of the pursuer of renown [NOBLEMAN] and their mother went abroad with the wise steerer of the wind-horse [SHIP > SEAFARER].
[1] Rúmsborg ‘city of Rome’: The C text echoes this p. n.; both the Lat. and other ON texts state only that Plácitus and his family set out for Egypt (see Louis-Jensen 1998, cxxiii).
