Sóti ok Hálfdan í Svíaskerjum
mörgum manni at morði varð.
Unnum þeira, áðr þaðan færim,
hundrað skipa hroðit með stöfnum.

Sóti and Hálfdan caused the death of many a man in the skerries of the Swedes. We succeeded in clearing a hundred of their ships from stem to stern, before we departed from there.
[1]: In the prose narrative (Ǫrv 1888, 52-6), Hálfdan is the name of a viking Oddr challenged and killed immediately before his encounter with Sóti. In the prose text Hálfdan is said to lurk by the Götaälv skerries (við Elfarsker), not in the Swedish skerries on the eastern side of the Swedish coast.
