ǪrvOdd Ævdr 57VIII (Ǫrv 127)/6 — sem ‘as’

Veit ek, at fossum         falla lét
Jórdán um mik         fyr útan Grikki.
Helt þó sínum,         sem hverr vissi,
ítrgör skyrta         öllum kostum.

Ek veit, at Jórdán lét falla fossum um mik fyr útan Grikki. Þó helt ítrgör skyrta öllum kostum sínum, sem hverr vissi.

I know that the Jordan caused [water] to fall in torrents about me beyond the Greeks. Yet the splendidly made shirt retained all its special qualities, as everyone knows.
