Slíkt er svá;
siklingr á
— ǫld þess ann —
orðróm þann.
Jarla er
austan ver
skatna skýrstr
Skúli dýrstr.
Slíkt er svá; siklingr á þann orðróm; ǫld ann þess. Skúli, skýrstr skatna, er dýrstr jarla austan ver.
So it is; the ruler deserves that reputation; people grant [him] that. Skúli, the wisest of lords, is the most glorious of jarls east of the ocean.
[6] austan ver ‘east of the ocean’: This shows that the poem was composed in Iceland.
