StarkSt Vík 25VIII (Gautr 33)/3 — rauða ‘red [gold]’

Mér gaf Víkarr         valamálm,
hring inn rauða,         er ek á hendi ber,
mér þrímerking,         en ek Þrumu honum;
fylgða ek fylki         fimtán sumur.

Víkarr gaf mér valamálm, hring inn rauða, er ek ber á hendi, mér þrímerking, en ek [gaf] honum Þrumu; ek fylgða fylki fimtán sumur.

Víkarr gave me costly metal, the red [gold] ring, which I wear on my arm, [a ring] three marks in weight for me, and I [gave] him Tromøy; I followed the ruler for fifteen summers.
