SnSt Ht 88III/1 — þás ‘when’

En, þás hirð til hallar
hers oddviti kallar,
opt tekr jarl at fagna
við ótali bragna.
Búin es gjǫf til greizlu
at gullbrota veizlu;
þrǫngt sitr þjóðar sinni;
þars mestr frami inni.

En, þás oddviti hers kallar hirð til hallar, tekr jarl opt at fagna við ótali bragna. Gjǫf es búin til greizlu at veizlu gullbrota; sinni þjóðar sitr þrǫngt; þars mestr frami inni.

And, when the leader of the army [= Skúli] calls the retinue to the hall, the jarl often begins to welcome a countless number of men. The gift is ready for distribution at the banquet of the gold-breaker [GENEROUS MAN]; the company of people sits crowded; inside there is the greatest glory.
