ǪrvOdd Ævdr 67VIII (Ǫrv 137)/7 — biðu ‘suffered’

Var mér skjaldmeyju         skipat it næsta,
þá er orrostu         eiga skyldum.
Veit ek, at ýtar         í Antekju
andrán biðu,         en vér auð fjár.

Var mér skipat it næsta skjaldmeyju, þá er skyldum eiga orrostu. Ek veit, at ýtar biðu andrán í Antekju, en vér auð fjár.

I was placed next to a shield maiden when we had to engage in battle. I know that men suffered life-robbery [DEATH] in Antioch, but we [got] great wealth.
