ǪrvOdd Ævdr 61VIII (Ǫrv 131)/7 — ei ‘not’

Þann drap Ögmundr         Eyþjófsbani
í Hellulands         hraunsóbygðum.
Félaga hans níu         fjörvi næmðak;
hefik ei víking         verra fundit.

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.
