GunnLeif Merl I 71VIII/6 — forna ‘old’

‘Eyðisk eyjar         it enska nafn;
mun hon Anglía         eigi kǫlluð.
Hlýtr hon at halda         heiti inu forna;
kend es við Brútum         Brítannía.

‘It enska nafn eyjar eyðisk; hon mun eigi kǫlluð Anglía. Hon hlýtr at halda inu forna heiti; es kend Brítannía við Brútum.

‘The English name of the island is expunged; it will not be called Anglia. It gets to retain the old name; it is called Britain after Brutus.
