ǪrvOdd Ævdr 15VIII (Ǫrv 85)/3 — skeiðr ‘warships’

Sáum skjótliga         skunda at landi
skeiðr vegligar         ok skrautmenni.
Fegnir urðu,         þeir er fyrir váru;
frændr mínir þá         finnaz gerðum.

Sáum vegligar skeiðr ok skrautmenni skunda skjótliga at landi. Þeir urðu fegnir, er váru fyrir; frændr mínir gerðum þá finnaz.

We saw magnificent warships and finely equipped men speeding quickly towards land. They who were there first became glad; my kinsmen [and I] then met together.
