ǪrvOdd Ævdr 17VIII (Ǫrv 87)/5 — Gerðu ‘set about’

Kómum at eyju         útan brattri
sumar síðla;         þá var segl rifat.
Gerðu fyrðar         flestir allir
skipum til hlunns         skjótt at ráða.

Kómum síðla sumar útan at brattri eyju; þá var segl rifat. Flestir allir fyrðar gerðu skjótt at ráða skipum til hlunns.

We arrived late in the summer at the steep island; then the sail was reefed. Almost all the men quickly set about pulling up the ships onto rollers.
