ǪrvOdd Lv 8VIII (Ǫrv 40)/3 — meðan ‘while’

Slóttu við meyjar         málþing, Sæólfr,
meðan loga létum         leika of kynnum.
Unnum harðan         Hadding drepinn,
ok Ölvi var         aldrs um synjat.

Slóttu málþing við meyjar, Sæólfr, meðan létum loga leika of kynnum. Unnum harðan Hadding drepinn, ok Ölvi var um synjat aldrs.

You carried on assignations with girls, Sjólfr, while we made flames play around families. We killed the hardy Haddingr and Ǫlvir was deprived of life.
