Sjá megu rétt, hvé, Ræfils
ríðendr, við brô Gríðar

Megu sjá rétt, hvé drekar, fagrt of skornir, liggja við brô Gríðar fjǫrnis, Ræfils foldviggs ríðendr.

They can rightly see how dragons, beautifully engraved, lie near the eyelash of the Gríðr <giantess> of the helmet [AXE > AXE-BLADE], riders of the horse of Ræfill’s <sea-king’s> land [(lit. ‘riders of Ræfill’s land-horse’) SEA > SHIP > SEAFARERS].
