Sigv Víkv 7I/2 — verða ‘to be’

Enn lét sjaunda sinni
sverðþing háit verða
endr á Ulfkels landi
Ôleifr, sem ferk máli.
Stóð Hringmaraheiði
(herfall vas þar,) alla
Ellu kind (es olli
arfvǫrðr Haralds starfi).

Enn lét Ôleifr endr sverðþing verða háit sjaunda sinni á landi Ulfkels, sem ferk máli. Kind Ellu stóð alla Hringmaraheiði; herfall vas þar, es arfvǫrðr Haralds olli starfi.

Yet again Óláfr caused a sword-assembly [BATTLE] to be held for the seventh time in Ulfcytel’s land, as I recount the tale. The offspring of Ælla [= Englishmen] stood over all Ringmere Heath; there was slaying of the army there, where the guardian of Haraldr’s inheritance [= Óláfr] caused exertion.
