ǪrvOdd Ævdr 13VIII (Ǫrv 83)/5 — Mistum ‘We missed’

Réðum skunda         til skipa ofan,
þá er flótti var         á fen rekinn.
Mistum bæði         báts ok knarrar,
auðs ok ýta,         er ofan kómum.

Réðum skunda ofan til skipa, þá er flótti var rekinn á fen. Mistum bæði báts ok knarrar, auðs ok ýta, er kómum ofan.

We hurried down to the ships, when the fleeing troop was driven into the fen. We missed both boat and trading ship, wealth and men, when we came down.
