Sigurðr Lv 1VIII (Ǫrv 35)/7 — bygðum ‘the settlements’

Oddr, vartu eigi         at eggroði,
þá er seggi allvalds         svelta létum.
Bar ek sár þaðan         sex ok átta,
en þú með bygðum         batt þér matar.

Oddr, vartu eigi at eggroði, þá er létum seggi allvalds svelta. Ek bar sex ok átta sár þaðan, en þú batt þér matar með bygðum.

Oddr, you were not at the blade-reddening [BATTLE], when we caused the mighty ruler’s men to die. I carried from there six and eight [fourteen] wounds, but you were begging for food for yourself among the settlements.
