ǪrvOdd Ævdr 8VIII (Ǫrv 78)/8 — farar ‘expedition’

Varð ek at vári         víss, at gørðuz
brynþings boðar         Bjarma at sækja.
Síðan kvaddak         Sigurð ok Guðmund;
vilda ek með fræknum         til farar ráðaz.

Ek varð víss at vári, at boðar brynþings gørðuz at sækja Bjarma. Síðan kvaddak Sigurð ok Guðmund; ek vilda ráðaz til farar með fræknum.

I became aware in the spring that the offerers of the mailcoat-assembly [BATTLE > WARRIORS] were making ready to visit the Permians. Then I called on Sigurðr and Guðmundr; I wanted to be included in the expedition with the brave ones.

notes

[7, 8] ek vilda ráðaz til farar ‘I wanted to be included in the expedition’: Lit. ‘I wanted to prepare myself for the expedition’.
