Ásb Ævkv 8VIII (OStór 11)/7 — at

Annat var, þá er inni.
Alllítt vér spörðumz
at samtogi sverða;
sjaldan ek latta,
at brynpálmar brýndir
biti hvassliga seggi;
þó var Ormr at ímun
æ oddviti þeira.

Annat var, þá er inni. Vér spörðumz alllítt at samtogi sverða; ek latta sjaldan at brýndir brynpálmar biti seggi hvassliga; Ormr var þó æ oddviti þeira at ímun.

It used to be different, when inside. We held back very little at the drawing together of swords [BATTLE]; seldom did I hinder that the sharpened mailcoat-palms [SWORDS] should sharply bite warriors; even so, Ormr was always their leader in battle.
