ǪrvOdd Ævdr 25VIII (Ǫrv 95)/3 — skipum ‘ships’

Sigldum síðan         suðr með landi
tállaust skipum         tveimr ok einu.
Væntu fengjar,         þeir er fyrir vissu,
ef vér Elfarsker         öll kannaðim.

Sigldum síðan suðr með landi tállaust tveimr ok einu skipum. Væntu fengjar, þeir er vissu fyrir, ef vér kannaðim öll Elfarsker.

We sailed then south along the coast without deceit with three ships. They who knew beforehand hoped for booty, if we explored all the Götaälv skerries.

notes

[3-4] tveimr ok einu skipum ‘with three ships’: Lit. ‘with two and one ships’. This corresponds to the prose text of 7 and 344a, but not that of 343a and 471, which mention four ships.
