I will not name [him]; I will almost indicate: the nose is bent downwards on the apostate who enticed King Sveinn from his realm and drew the son of Tryggvi on treacherously.
[2] pene ‘almost’: Classical Lat. paene. This could mean either ‘almost’ (cf. nær ‘close’ in Stefnir Lv 1/2) or ‘indeed’ (so Gottskálk Þór Jensson 2006, 50, translating it with ModIcel. reyndar).
