ǪrvOdd Ævdr 62VIII (Ǫrv 132)/1 — Fleiri ‘more’

Fleiri hefir mína         fóstbræðr drepit,
Garðar ok Sírni;         gekk skegg af flagði.
Var hann engum líkr         at yfirliti,
ok kallaðr síðan         Kvillánus blesi.

Hefir drepit fleiri fóstbræðr mína, Garðar ok Sírni; skegg gekk af flagði. Hann var engum líkr at yfirliti, ok kallaðr síðan Kvillánus blesi.

He has killed more of my foster-brothers, Garðarr and Sírnir; the beard left the ogre. He was like no one in appearance, and was afterwards called Kvillánus blesi (‘Blaze’).
