Hregg Lv 3VIII (GHr 3)/2 — er

Glez Hreggviðr,         þá er Hrólfr fær
ungrar meyjar         Ingigerðar.
Mun Hólmgarði         hilmir stýra,
Sturlaugs sonr;         standi kvæði.

Hreggviðr glez, þá er Hrólfr fær ungrar meyjar Ingigerðar. Hilmir, sonr Sturlaugs, mun stýra Hólmgarði; standi kvæði.

Hreggviðr will rejoice when Hrólfr marries the young maiden Ingigerðr. The prince, son of Sturlaugr, will govern Novgorod; let the poem cease.

readings

[2] þá er: þá at 567XI α, þá at 567XI α

notes

[2] þá er ‘when’: The particle er has been restored as a routine normalisation to 1250-1300 usage from 589f’s þá, which shows C14th loss of er after þá (NS §261). This has also been added by Skj B and Skald. Line 2 requires the desyllabification of Hrólfr to Hrólfur to be metrically correct.
