RvHbreiðm Hl 61III/5 — bæði ‘of both’

Frétts, at Eirekr átti
eggmót, sás rauð spjót,
(frægr gerði val víga)
víðs mǫrg (konungr bjǫrg),
þvít blóðstari bæði
bens nýtti sér fen
— frægr þótti sá flotnum
foldar vǫrðr — ok hold.

Frétts, at Eirekr, sás rauð spjót, átti mǫrg eggmót víðs; frægr konungr gerði val víga bjǫrg, þvít blóðstari nýtti sér bæði fen bens ok hold; sá vǫrðr foldar þótti frægr flotnum.

It is heard that Eiríkr, who reddened spears, had many edge-meetings [BATTLES] far and wide; the famous king provided sustenance for the falcon of battles [RAVEN/EAGLE], because the blood-starling [RAVEN] availed itself of both the fen of the wound [BLOOD] and flesh; that guardian of the earth [RULER] seemed famous to his followers.
