Ótt Óldr 2III/2 — gjǫrr ‘filled’

Þengill vas þegar ungr
þreks gjǫrr vígǫrr;
haldask biðk hans aldr;
hann telk yfirmann.

Ungr þengill, gjǫrr þreks, vas þegar vígǫrr; biðk aldr hans haldask; telk hann yfirmann.

The young ruler, filled with power, was already battle-eager; I wish his life to continue; I reckon him a superior man.
