Ögmundr Eyþjófsbani drap þann í hraunsóbygðum Hellulands. Næmðak níu félaga hans fjörvi; hefik ei fundit verra víking.
Ǫgmundr Eyþjófsbani (‘Eyþjófr’s killer’) slew him in the uninhabited rocky wilderness of Helluland. I took the lives of his nine companions; I have not found a worse murderer.
[5] Félaga hans níu: en ek félaga hans 471, félagi hans 173ˣ
[5] níu félaga hans ‘his nine companions’: That is, Ǫgmundr’s companions. In Ǫrv 50/6, it is mentioned that nine of Ǫgmundr’s men are left alive after his first encounter with Oddr.
