Svart Skauf 39VIII/8 — sveitum ‘the districts’

‘Hann mun óþarfr         ýtum verða
bændum og búum         um bygðir allar,
stela og ræna         stórum fie manna,
morðvargr meiri,         en man eg í sveitum.

‘Hann mun verða óþarfr ýtum, bændum og búum um allar bygðir, stela og ræna fie manna stórum, meiri morðvargr, en eg man í sveitum.

‘He’ll become destructive to people, to farmers and farmsteads throughout all settlements, steal and rob men’s livestock exceedingly, a greater outlawed murderer than I remember in the districts.
