GunnLeif Merl II 45VIII/7 — þessa ‘of this’

‘Ok á sjalfan sik         síðan festir
léparðs hǫfuð         lofðungr at þat.
Ræðr hann lýðum         ok lofða fjǫlð;
þar þrýtr þessa         þengils sǫgu.

‘Ok lofðungr festir síðan hǫfuð léparðs á sik sjalfan at þat. Hann ræðr lýðum ok fjǫlð lofða; þar þrýtr sǫgu þessa þengils.

‘And with that the ruler will then fix a leopard’s head on himself. He will rule over peoples and a multitude of men; there is the end of this story of the king.
