ǪrvOdd Ævdr 27VIII (Ǫrv 97)/5 — Kuru ‘chose’

Báru rekkar         ráð sín saman;
þótti ei fyrðum         féván mikil.
Kuru Háleygir         kost inn vildra;
réðum leggja         lag várt saman.

Rekkar báru saman ráð sín; þótti ei fyrðum mikil féván. Háleygir kuru inn vildra kost: réðum leggja saman lag várt.

The warriors consulted together; there did not seem to the men to be great expectation of money. The Háleygir [we] chose the better alternative; we decided to enter into fellowship together.
