ǪrvOdd Ævdr 63VIII (Ǫrv 133)/3 — þá er ‘when’

Þótta ek hæfr         at hjörregni,
þá er vér börðumz         á Brávelli.
Bað Hringr þá         hamalt fylkja
Odd inn víðförla         at orrostu.

Ek þótta hæfr at hjörregni, þá er vér börðumz á Brávelli. Þá bað Hringr Odd inn víðförla fylkja hamalt at orrostu.

I was thought to be fit for sword-rain [BATTLE], when we fought at Brávǫllr. Then Hringr ordered Oddr inn víðförli (‘the Widely-travelled’) to draw up a wedge-shaped column at the battle.
