ǪrvOdd Ævdr 44VIII (Ǫrv 114)/6 — tegat ‘shown itself ready’

Fundum þegna,         er þaðan fórum,
teita ok sleitna         í Trönuvágum.
Var ei Ögmundi         andrán tegat;
kómumz þrír þaðan,         en þeir níu.

Fundum teita ok sleitna þegna í Trönuvágum, er fórum þaðan. Andrán var ei tegat Ögmundi; kómumz þrír þaðan, en þeir níu.

We encountered some happy, aggressive men in Trǫnuvágar, when we were going from there. Life-robbery [DEATH] had not shown itself ready for Ǫgmundr; three of us came away from there and they were nine.
