Súðlǫngum komt Sveiða,
— sunds liðu dýr frá grundu —
sigrakkr, Sǫlsa bekkjar,
Sveins mǫgr, á trǫð hreinum.
Sigrakkr mǫgr Sveins, komt súðlǫngum hreinum bekkjar Sǫlsa á trǫð Sveiða; dýr sunds liðu frá grundu.
Battle-bold son of Sveinn [= Knútr], you brought the long-planked reindeer of the bench of Sǫlsi <sea-king> [SEA > SHIPS] onto the path of Sveiði <sea-king> [SEA]; the animals of the sound [SHIPS] glided from land.
[4] mǫgr Sveins ‘son of Sveinn [= Knútr]’: As Frank (1994b, 112) points out, Knútr’s poets frequently characterise him as the son of his father, Sveinn tjúguskegg ‘Fork-beard’ Haraldsson. The same phrase is also found, in identical position, in Ótt Knútdr 6/8I.
