ǪgmEyb Lv 3VIII (Ǫrv 33)/4 — orrostu ‘the fight’

Þeir elta mik         allsýsliga
Oddr ok Sírnir         orrostu frá.

Þeir elta mik allsýsliga, Oddr ok Sírnir, frá orrostu.

They are pursuing me very quickly, Oddr and Sírnir, from the fight.

notes

[4] frá orrostu ‘from the fight’: Ms. 471’s reading is metrical, but 343a’s is not, the scribe perhaps not understanding the postposition of the prep. frá.
