ESk Øxfl 9III/2 — vísa ‘ruler’

Ráðvǫndum þák rauðra
randa ís at vísa;
grand berum hjalms í hendi
hvarmþey drifin Freyju.

Þák ís rauðra randa at ráðvǫndum vísa; berum grand hjalms, drifin hvarmþey Freyju, í hendi.

I received an icicle of red shields [SWORD] from the righteous ruler; we [I] carry the harm of the helmet [AXE/SWORD], covered with the eyelid-thaw [TEARS] of Freyja <goddess> [GOLD], in my hand.
