Anon (SnE) 10III/3 — dyggr ‘faithful’

Ǫrgildi* vask (Eldis)
áls Fjǫrgynjar (mála)
dyggr (sé heiðr ok h*eggi)
hrynbeðs (áar steðja).

Vask dyggr ǫrgildi* hrynbeðs áls Fjǫrgynjar; heiðr sé ok h*eggi mála Eldis steðja áar.

I was faithful to the generous giver of the resounding bed of the eel of Fjǫrgyn [= Jǫrð (jǫrð ‘earth’)] [SERPENT > GOLD > GENEROUS MAN]; may honour also come to the cherry-tree of the speeches of the Eldir <mythical servant> of the anvil of the river [STONE > GIANT > GOLD > MAN].
