ǪrvOdd Ævdr 19VIII (Ǫrv 89)/1 — Kóðuz ‘said’

Kóðuz fjallbúar         flytja mundu
oss ór eyju,         nema út* færim.
Þótti ei rekkum         rómr at heyra
hagligr, sá er var         hraunskjöldunga.

Fjallbúar kóðuz mundu flytja oss ór eyju, nema færim út*. Rómr, sá er var hraunskjöldunga, þótti ei rekkum hagligr at heyra.

The mountain dwellers [GIANTS] said they would move us off the island, unless we went away. The voice that belonged to the rock-princes [GIANTS] did not seem to the men pleasant to hear.
