ǪrvOdd Ævdr 20VIII (Ǫrv 90)/6 — fyr ‘in front’

Uggðum ekki,         sízt eyjar til
vápns vígligir         viðir kómu.
Hlóðu bragnar         fyr bjarg framan
vegg sterkligan;         var ek enn at því.

Uggðum ekki, sízt vígligir viðir vápns kómu til eyjar. Bragnar hlóðu sterkligan vegg fyr framan bjarg; ek var enn at því.

We were not afraid after warlike trees of the weapon [WARRIORS] came to the island. [Our] men piled up a strong wall in front of the cliff; I also took part.
