RvHbreiðm Hl 51III/7 — réð ‘had’

Ák frá Eireks mildi
elds brjótǫndum hranna,
þess’s hét inn sigrsæli,
segja einkar gegnum,
þvít gollskati gagni
— gram þann lofa ýtar —
réð, sás ríkstr vas heitinn,
í randa gný hverjum.

Ák segja einkar gegnum brjótǫndum elds hranna frá mildi Eireks, þess’s hét inn sigrsæli, þvít gollskati, sás vas heitinn ríkstr, réð gagni í hverjum gný randa; ýtar lofa þann gram.

I must tell very reliable breakers of the fire of the waves [GOLD > GENEROUS MEN] about the generosity of Eiríkr, who was named the Victorious, because the munificent man, who was called the mightiest, had victory in every clamour of shield-rims [BATTLE]; people praise that prince.
