Hjuggu vér með hjörvi.
Hafa gátu þá rafnar
fyrir Inndyriseyju
ærna bráð at slíta.
Fengum fálu hestum
fullan verð at sinni
— ilt var eins at gæta —
með uppruna sólar.
Strenghömlur sá ek stíga;
stökk málmr á skör hjálmi.

We hewed with the sword. Ravens then obtained plenty of flesh to tear off Inndyrisey. We provided horses of the giantess [WOLVES] with a full meal on that occasion at the rising of the sun; it was hard to keep track of individuals. I saw bow-stringsticks [ARROWS] ascending; metal leapt at rim of helmet.
[3] fyrir Inndyriseyju (‘fyrir eínderis eyio’): ‘[…]’ 147(108r), ‘fyrer Einderis eýo’ with ‘inndýris eyo W.’ in margin 6ˣ, fyrir Inndyriseyjum R702ˣ, LR, R693ˣ
[3] fyrir Inndyriseyju ‘off Inndyrisey’: While Inndyrisey, an island (to judge from the final element in the name), cannot be certainly identified, mention may be made of Inndyr, now a village of some 700 inhabitants in Gildeskål county of the province of Nordland in northern Norway, and situated by an inlet of Sørfjorden (cf. Rygh 1897-1936, XVI, 185). The spelling Einderis eyju, ‑eyjum (CPB Eynderis-eyjom), adopted by all previous eds up to and including Finnur Jónsson (1893b), is in all probability aberrant and secondary; it does not seem to point to a separate location.
