lagdýrs ofan stýri.
Ok Lofn landrifs leysti ofan liðhraustan stýri lagdýrs, lengi píndan, es herr vas sofnaðr.
And the Lofn <goddess> of the land-rib [STONE > WOMAN] released the troop-bold commander of the sea-beast [SHIP > SEAFARER], long tormented, from above when the army had fallen asleep.
[1, 4] leysti ofan ‘released … from above’: Lit. ‘unfastened from above’. The sense is that the woman unties the man from the wheel and lowers him to the ground.
