ǪrvOdd Ævdr 50VIII (Ǫrv 120)/1 — eigi ‘did not’

Lét ek eigi þess         langt at bíða,
at Sæundi         at sjónum varð.
Unnu skatnar         skip mín hroðin,
en sjálfr þaðan         sunds kostaðak.

Lét ek eigi langt at bíða þess, at varð at sjónum Sæundi. Skatnar unnu skip mín hroðin, en sjálfr kostaðak sunds þaðan.

I did not let a long time pass before I was seen by Sæundr. Men cleared my ships, but I myself swam away from there.
