GunnLeif Merl II 49VIII/8 — geigr ‘peril’

‘Þeir flest taka         fljóða sveita
hervígssamir         ok hóra mengi.
Ok sameignar         sín*ar kvánir
gera geirvanir;         geigr es í slíku.’

‘Hervígssamir taka þeir flest sveita fljóða ok mengi hóra. Ok geirvanir gera kvánir sín*ar sameignar; geigr es í slíku.’

‘Belligerent, they will take most bands of women and a multitude of whores. And the spear-accustomed ones will have their women in common; peril lies in that.’
