RvHbreiðm Hl 23III/2 — gram ‘the hero’

Sǫgu kannk Svipdags;
saga es frá gram …;
es mér sagt sǫguligt
frá sǫgu þeiri.
Auðlingr gerðisk ótrauðr
auðbjóðr þjóðum;
auðar lét auðbrjótr
auðit, þeims sverð rauð.

Kannk sǫgu Svipdags; saga es frá gram …; es mér sagt sǫguligt frá þeiri sǫgu. Auðlingr gerðisk ótrauðr auðbjóðr þjóðum; auðbrjótr lét auðar auðit, þeims rauð sverð.

I know Svipdagr’s story; there is a story about the hero …; I am told story-worthy [things] about that story. The lord became an unstinting wealth-giver to the people; the wealth-breaker [GENEROUS MAN] let wealth be bestowed on the one who reddened the sword.
