GunnLeif Merl I 3VIII/7 — heiðin ‘heathen’

Ok láð þeira         með liði miklu
sjǫlf eignaðisk         í sǫgum fornum.
Ok, þars kristnir         kœnir byggja,
áðr tók heiðin þjóð         hallir smíða.

Ok í fornum sǫgum eignaðisk sjǫlf láð þeira með miklu liði. Ok, þars kœnir kristnir byggja, tók heiðin þjóð áðr smíða hallir.

And according to the ancient stories, they themselves took possession of their land with a great army. And where wise Christians settle, heathen people had previously taken to constructing halls.
