SnSt Ht 35III/4 — stýri ‘rudder’

Reist at Vágsbrú vestan
— varrsíma bar fjarri —
heitfastr hávar rastir
hjálm-Týr svǫlu stýri.
Stǫkkr óx, es bar blakka
brims fyr jǫrð it grimma
herfjǫlð — húfar svǫlðu —
hrannláð, búandmanna.

Heitfastr hjálm-Týr reist hávar rastir svǫlu stýri vestan at Vágsbrú; varrsíma bar fjarri. Stǫkkr búandmanna óx, es it grimma hrannláð bar herfjǫlð blakka brims fyr jǫrð; húfar svǫlðu.

The pledge-firm helmet-Týr <god> [WARRIOR] carved deep currents with the cool rudder from the west towards Vágsbrú; the wake-line stretched far. The flight of the farmers grew as the grim wave-land [SEA] carried a great number of steeds of the surf [SHIPS] along the coast; the hulls became cool.
