FriðÞ Lv 21VIII (Frið 27)/7 — Björn ‘Bjǫrn’

Taktu við skatti,         skatna dróttinn,
fremstum tönnum,         nema þú framar beiðir!
Silfr er á botni         belgjar niðri,
sem vit Björn höfum         báðir ráðit.

Taktu við skatti, dróttinn skatna, fremstum tönnum, nema þú beiðir framar! Silfr er niðri á botni belgjar, sem vit Björn höfum ráðit báðir.

Receive the tribute, lord of men [RULER = Helgi], together with your front teeth, unless you are asking for more! There is silver down at the bottom of the bag, which Bjǫrn and I have both collected.
