ǪrvOdd Ævdr 1VIII (Ǫrv 71)/4 — frá ‘about’

Hlýði seggir,         en ek segja mun
vígs völdundum         frá vinum mínum.
Seint er at dylja;         sé ek eigi mátti
skógs skæstafr         við sköpum gera.

Hlýði seggir, en ek mun segja völdundum vígs frá vinum mínum. Seint er at dylja; ek sé skæstafr skógs mátti eigi gera við sköpum.

Listen men, and I will tell causers of slaughter [WARRIORS] about my friends. It is [too] late to deny; I see the advancing stave of the bow [WARRIOR = I] could not prevent fate.
