FriðÞ Lv 32VIII (Frið 38)/6 — landa ‘lands’

Bú þú, Hringr konungr,         heill ok lengi,
æztr öðlinga         undir Ymis hausi.
Gættu, vísir, vel         vífs ok landa;
skulu vit Ingibjörg         aldri finnaz.

Bú þú, Hringr konungr, heill ok lengi, æztr öðlinga undir hausi Ymis. Vísir, gættu vel vífs ok landa; skulu vit Ingibjörg aldri finnaz.

May you live, King Hringr, fortunate and long, the foremost of princes beneath the skull of Ymir <giant> [SKY/HEAVEN]. Ruler, look after your wife and lands well; Ingibjǫrg and I must never meet [again].
