ǪrvOdd Ævdr 16VIII (Ǫrv 86)/7 — liðin ‘over’

Létum skeika         at sköpuðu
drengmenn snarir         í drifaveðri.
Sýndiz seggjum         — sandr var á þiljum —
lands ván liðin;         lá ek eigi þar.

Snarir drengmenn létum skeika at sköpuðu í drifaveðri. Sýndiz seggjum ván lands liðin; sandr var á þiljum; ek lá eigi þar.

[We] bold heroes let things go according to the will of fate in the storm of sea-spray. The hope of land seemed over to the men; sand was on the decks; I did not lie there.
