Ekúl Kristdr 1III/1 — helgum ‘to the holy’

Hróts lýtr helgum crúci
heims ferð ok lið beima;
sannrs an ǫll dýrð ǫnnur
einn sólkonungr hreinni.

Ferð hróts heims ok lið beima lýtr helgum crúci; sannr sólkonungr [e]s einn hreinni an ǫll ǫnnur dýrð.

The host of the roof of the world [SKY/HEAVEN > ANGELS] and the company of men [HUMANS] bow to the holy cross; the true king of the sun [= God (= Christ)] is alone purer than all other glory.
