Þá var ek ungr, er inni brann
frækna fjölð með feðr …
þjóðnær vági fyr Þrumu innan.
Ek var ungr þá, er fjölð frækna brann inni með feðr … þjóðnær vági fyr innan Þrumu.
I was young then, when a crowd of bold men burnt inside with … father very near the bay inside of Tromøy.
[5] ‑nær vági: so 152, ‘nerunge’ 590b‑cˣ, papp11ˣ
[5] þjóðnær vági ‘very near the bay’: For reasons already discussed in Note to l. 4 and because the readings of 590b-cˣ and papp11ˣ are garbled, this interpretation is tentative. Skj B and Skald treat þjóðnær as a cpd adv. meaning ‘very near’, in which the element þjóð- is an intensifier, ‘very’, and that interpretation is followed here.
