Várum allir vestr með Skolla;
þar at landi sat lýða dróttinn.
Báru bragnar blóðgar undir,
sverðum skornar, en vér sigr höfðum.
Várum allir vestr með Skolla; þar sat dróttinn lýða at landi. Bragnar báru blóðgar undir, skornar sverðum, en vér höfðum sigr.
We were all in the west with Skolli; there the lord of men [RULER = Játmundr] ruled over the land. Warriors bore bloody wounds, cut with swords, but we had the victory.
[3-4]: These two lines probably refer to the king of the English, named as Játmundr in some mss, who has usurped Skolli’s kingdom and killed his father and many of his kinsmen. The second helmingr then refers to the battle, said to have taken place in the south of the country, in which Oddr’s and Skolli’s men fight against Játmundr, kill him, and gain the kingdom.
