Ekúl Kristdr 3III/3 — engla ‘of angels’

Môttrs, an menn of hyggi,
mætr goðs sonar betri;
þós engla gramr ǫllu
ǫrr helgari ok dýrri.

Mætr môttr sonar goðs [e]s betri, an menn of hyggi; þós ǫrr gramr engla helgari ok dýrri ǫllu.

The splendid power of the son of God [= Christ] is better than men can imagine; moreover the generous prince of angels [= God (= Christ)] is holier and more glorious than everything.
