GunnLeif Merl I 5VIII/7 — jarni ‘iron’

En hers jaðarr         halda máttit
brezkri jǫrðu         né bauga fjǫlð.
Alt fór inn heiðni         herr it eystra
eldi ok jarni         eylands jaðar.

En jaðarr hers máttit halda brezkri jǫrðu né fjǫlð bauga. Inn heiðni herr fór alt it eystra, jaðar eylands, eldi ok jarni.

And the leader of the army [RULER = Vortigern] could not hold the British land nor the mass of treasures. The heathen army overran the edge of the island, all the east, with fire and iron.
