Hskv Frag 1III/3 — leygr ‘the flame’

Ér knôttuð þar þeira
(þú vast aldregi) — skjaldar
leygr þaut of sjǫt — (sigri
sviptr) gørsemum skipta.

Þar knôttuð ér skipta gørsemum þeira; þú vast aldregi sviptr sigri; leygr skjaldar þaut of sjǫt.

There you could divide their treasures; you were never deprived of victory; the flame of the shield [SWORD] howled around the host.
