StarkSt Vík 15VIII (Gautr 23)/8 — at ‘that’

Ok á síðu         sverði beitti
mér öflugr         fyr mjöðm ofan,
en í aðra         atgeir lagði
köldum broddi,         svá at á kafi yddi;
þau sér merki         á mér gróin.

Ok öflugr beitti sverði á síðu mér fyr ofan mjöðm, en lagði atgeir í aðra köldum broddi, svá at yddi á kafi; sér þau merki gróin á mér.

And the powerful one thrust his sword into my side above one hip and plunged his halberd into the other with its cold point, so that it penetrated right through [me]; those scars are visible healed on me.
