ǪrvOdd Lv 18VIII (Ǫrv 51)/1 — Sjólfr ‘Sjólfr’

Sjólfr, vartu eigi         Sámseyju í,
þar er við Hjörvarð         höggum skiptum.
Tveir váru vit,         en þeir tólf saman;
sigr hafða ek;         saztu kyrr meðan.

Sjólfr, vartu eigi í Sámseyju, þar er skiptum höggum við Hjörvarð. Váru vit tveir, en þeir tólf saman; ek hafða sigr; saztu kyrr meðan.

Sjólfr, you were not on Samsø, where we exchanged blows with Hjǫrvarðr. We were two, but they [were] twelve together; I had the victory; you stayed quiet in the meanwhile.
