GunnLeif Merl I 81VIII/4 — hǫndum ‘their disposal’

‘Mun hans brjóst vesa         brǫgnum fœzla,
þeims fátt hafa         fjár með hǫndum.
Ok in tállausa         tunga hilmis
sløkkvir þorsta         þjóðans liði.

‘Brjóst hans mun vesa fœzla brǫgnum, þeims hafa fátt fjár með hǫndum. Ok in tállausa tunga hilmis sløkkvir þorsta liði þjóðans.

‘His breast will be sustenance for men who have little property at their disposal. And the ruler’s tongue, free of deception, will slake thirst for the following of the lord.
