ǪrvOdd Ævdr 37VIII (Ǫrv 107)/1 — Létum ‘We made’

Létum vestr þaðan         vandar fáka
Írlands á vit         öldur kanna.
Höfðu þeira,         er þagat kómum,
drengir ok drósir         drifit ór húsum.

Létum fáka vandar kanna öldur vestr þaðan á vit Írlands. Drengir ok drósir þeira höfðu drifit ór húsum, er kómum þagat.

We made the horses of the mast [SHIPS] explore the waves west from there on the way to Ireland. Their men and women had fled from the houses when we arrived there.
