ǪrvOdd Ævdr 53VIII (Ǫrv 123)/8 — em ‘have’

Þar kom ek útarst,         er Akvitána
bragna kindir         borgum réðu.
Þar lét ek fjóra         fallna liggja
hrausta drengi;         nú em ek hér kominn.

Ek kom útarst, þar er kindir bragna Akvitána réðu borgum. Þar lét ek fjóra hrausta drengi liggja fallna; nú em ek kominn hér.

I came furthest out to where the kin of the men of the Aquitainians ruled the towns. There I caused four strong men to lie dead; now I have come here.
