ǪrvOdd Lv 15VIII (Ǫrv 48)/4 — heiptir ‘for hostilities’

Sigurðr, vartu eigi         í Svíaskerjum,
þá er Hálfdani         heiptir guldum.
Urðu randir         rógmiklaðar
sverðum skornar,         en hann sjálfr drepinn.

Sigurðr, vartu eigi í Svíaskerjum, þá er guldum Hálfdani heiptir. Randir rógmiklaðar urðu skornar sverðum, en hann sjálfr drepinn.

Sigurðr, you were not in the skerries of the Swedes, when we repaid Hálfdan for hostilities. The shields of the strife-increaser [WARRIOR] were cut through with swords, and he himself was killed.
